||Lo Agai ChhanChhan #1 - Jodi Aasmani Ho Gayi..||

The week started with the newlyweds forced to attend a jaagran with the entire family on the wedding night, organized by Umaben for the express purpose of not letting ChhanMan spend time with each other. But Manav is more resourceful than his mother thinks, so with Kaumudi's accidental help, he calls Chhanchhan into the garden for some romance, and the couple share some tender moments, before Ranjana interrupts them. And the new ChanMan Jodi is rocking!

Umaben tries to disrupt them again by giving them different duties after the jaagran, and when Manav finally gets away, and tries to go to a tired Chhanchhan, Umaben informs him he has to leave for the village early morning, to do a pooja. Chhanchhan will stay behind because she is 'too tired'. Manav kisses his sleeping wife and leaves without telling her he is going.

Next morning, Ranjana Sanjana get breakfast ready, and Umaben comes downstairs and asks for Chhanchhan. Chhanchhan is still sleeping.

Chhanchhan's first day in her sasuraal begins with a bang. She wakes up late, finds Manav missing and runs downstairs to look for him ' and causes a major earthquake in the Borisagar household. Apparently daughters-in-law of the house have to sleep, eat and live in sarees 24 hours of the day, and dare not step out of their rooms without their heads covered with their pallu. Since Chhanchhan didn't know any of this, she is very confused when the whole family stares at her as though she just escaped from a zoo ' or came in from outer space. Ranjana Sanjana hustle her back to her room, while she's still trying to figure out where Manav is. They try to explain to her the magnitude of her sin, Umaben enters and embellishes the story by adding the account of her own punishments from her MIL ' Chhanchhan wonders what the fuss is all about.

Since Umaben has to maintain her facade of being sugar-sweet MIL, she forgives Chhanchhan for her mistake, but blames Ranjana Sanjana for not telling her the rules. Chhanchhan is horrified that they get punished for her mistake. Since Chhanchhan is not terrified by the sound of Umaben's MIL, and instead sympathises with Umaben for got an undeserved punishment for such a small mistake, Umaben has to change tactics, and she agrees the mistake is not that big, she is very broad-minded herself and doesn't mind all this, but it is Babuji who pronounces these rules, she merely administers them. And she regretfully pronounces the punishment ' or repentance - for Ranjana Sanjana ' they have to make 300 rotis every day for three days to feed the cows.

Chhanchhan is even more shocked, and Umaben leaves feeling satisfied that Chhanchhan will run away herself soon enough, she cannot stand these rules for too long.

Chhanchhan gets a phone call from her family, which cheers her up somewhat, but she is missing Manav terribly and wondering where he went.

Chhanchhan discovers the letter and rose left by Manav for his sleeping wife ' aww, such a sweet letter to his "jaan" ' It cheers her up enough to give her the confidence to get ready ' in saree and pallu as instructed ' and hunt down Ranjana Sanjana in the kitchen where they are carrying out their punishment. She offers to help them. Sanjana is excited, Ranjana is skeptical, especially when Chhanchhan admits she doesn't know how to make rotlas.

After a couple of interruptions by Manav's frequent phone calls, Chhanchhan figures out what is needed, and immediately goes off to organize things. The rest is easy ' after she manages more phone calls from her lovey dovey husband, and one conversation with Simple, which was less lovey dovey, but in the current scheme of things much more important.

Simple to the rescue with two rotimakers ' much to Umaben's disgust, Simple is very much like Himanshu, she takes no notice f the broad hints dropped by Umaben that she is not exactly welcome. Neither does Chhanchhan. Simple hands over the rotimakers, and Chhanchhan explains to RS duo how they can proceed with their job. Much to their combined delight, the rotis are ready within a couple of hours, instead of taking up the whole day.

So that round went to Chhanchhan ' but in the middle, Umaben figured out that Chhanchhan was wearing a ready-made saree as she doesn't know how to wear the traditional one. And the next scheme starts hatching in Umaben's devious mind.

Umaben is nonplussed that RS duo completed their task so quickly, that Chhanchhan helped them ' and annoyed that her plan for creating friction between them didn't work too well at all. To add insult to injury, Manek starts changing his mind about Chhanchhan ' her mistake of the morning is forgotten, as she obviously has the good of the family at heart ' her initiative to buy gur to feed the cows with the rotlas is strongly appreciated. Apparently all the really high class cows prefer their bajra ka rotlas with a little gur on the side ... the blessings come easier that way. 😆

Further adding to Umaben's annoyance, Manav calls Chhanchhan for the third (or was it fourth? I'm losing count 😆) time in the day.

So Umaben puts her next plan into action ' the saree debacle. Umaben is a horrible woman. 😡

In the meantime, Manav calls again ' I have stopped counting now 😉' and finally gets to chat with his loving wife and exchange some sweet nothings. He is puzzled why she is so busy on her very first day, but Chhanchhan decides not to go into details for the moment. They are interrupted yet again by Umaben, who putting her plan into action, has brought Chhanchhan a very pretty, and very heavy saree to wear. All her friends are coming for munh dikhayi of the new bride.

Chhanchhan is worried and nervous. But not for long ' internet and Google to the rescue ' and a saree making tutorial online is the answer to her troubles. 😃

On the other side, in the Sarabhai household, CC's dad is going crazy with worry as to why his daughter needed two rotimakers on her very first day in her sasuraal. He suspects Umaben is up to no good ' a father's instincts are never wrong! Dadi and Maithili calm him down, but he only reassured when he speaks to CC herself and finds her in good spirits. The Sarabhai family is such a lovely family!

Chhanchhan gets ready in the saree given by Umaben, but has no time to pin it up safely, as a very nervous Sanjana hustles her off downstairs to the waiting guests. As a result, in the confusion of managing her pallu over her head, the heavy saree, and trying to touch the feet of all the guests, Chhanchhan's feet get entangled in her saree and the pleats come out. The guests start muttering among themselves and passing comments, leaving poor Chhanchhan deeply embarrassed and almost in tears.
