In Today's epi, Nupur used an idiom....called a muhavara in Hindi:

Muft mein Chandan
toh ghis mere Nandan

Anyone here have any idea about the exact meaning of that??

I think it literally translates to:

Free is the Sandalwood,
So keep wearing it out, Nandan

Anu, so nice to have you found here.๐Ÿค— Though I m not active these days but couldn;t stop myself from replying to ur topic.

Yeah the exact translation is what you wrote but I m assuming the true meaning to be "you use anything in excess if you get it for free".๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

What I liked best about that scene was how Mayank said "Namaste" to Nupur @ the end, just the way he said it yaar - couldn't stop laughing!!! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†
