Today's Take - Visitors, old and new

The old - PuchPuch ... What smell was it that disturbed Babuji ... that was never quite cleared up. Also, did Umaben actually make Babuji forgo his dinner just to prove her point to Chhanchhan that dogs were persona non grata in the BS house? 😲
Probably not ... Umaben already knows that Chhanchhan has a very strong sense of family and right and wrong ... just the hint that PuchPuch can create trouble is enough to trouble her ... hopefully enough to send the dog packing? Or enough to send CC home with her dog?

ChhanMan at night ... Manav getting all romantic, while Chhanchhan is worried about her dog! Poor Manav takes it quite sportingly ... coming second to a dog in his wife's affections is not great for a man's ego! 😛

PuchPuch whines at night ... Umaben is most annoyed and decides to do something about it. Why she thought that drenching the dog would make him shut up, is beyond me though ...
Chhanchhan equally worried about PuchPuch whining ... and reaches just in time to prevent his midnight bath. Umaben has a cover story quickly ready ... all she wanted to do was cool the place for the dog 😕

For the first time, Chhanchhan is not quite convinced ... doesn't say anything, just cuddles PuchPuch ...

New visitors on the way ... Next morning Babuji announces the arrival of the most-feared Dadaji for Dadiji's barsi ... and everyone quakes in their shoes. Except for Chhanchhan who is merely curious as to why everyone is shaking at the thought of the man ...

Manthan and Ranjana go through their flashbacks of their terror days ... Dadaji is apparently a school headmaster in his other life ... a headmaster of the old orthodox 'spare the rod and spoil the child' school of thought. 🤢

Manav tells a curious Chhanchhan that Dadaji is very strict ... there might be trouble ahead ...
Umaben arrives and reinforces the statement, adding that she has a headache at the mere thought, and it would be better to tie him up. After some more similar statements, she clarifies she is talking about PuchPuch ... not about Dadaji 😉 Babuji is relieved, and Chhanchhan is even more thoughtful.

Chhanchhan asks Manav to check with Umaben ... she doesn't think Umaben is happy with PuchPuch being there.
Methinks Umaben could have taken the opportunity of Dadaji's arrival to banish PP back to his maayka ... but of course, Umaben has already seen a window of opportunity to banish both PP and his mistress ... kill two birds with one stone ...

So she reassures Manav that she doesn't mind PuchPuch being there, and Chhanchhan doesn't believe her only because CC hasn't accepted her as a mother ... also clarifies her night escapade with PuchPuch, just in case CC has told Manav about it ... UB has figured out that CC and Manav talk to each other a lot so better to play it very safe. And of course lay the foundation of blame of non-acceptance on Chhanchhan ...😕
Manav is taken in completely, it appears ... and assures his mom that he will tell ChhanChhan she was mistaken ... his mom loves PuchPuch almost as much as she, CC does ... does he really believe that? 😲

And in between, Umaben orders new gold kangans for her new to-be bahu ... unfortunately Chhanchhan sees them, but no matter, Umaben slides out of that situation too ... and after talking to Manav, she speaks to wannabe bahu and tells her about her new kangans.
Does wannabe bahu even know that Manav is already married? 😲

Precap - Dadaji arrives ... Chhanchhan upsets his kalash of ashes ... and saves it ... all at once ... 😛
Sanaya was looking gorgeous in pink!

Two SKDs to be realized -

1. PP will do something that will make him a permanent member of the household - save life/property/izzat etc!
