Dev is lost in Radhika but she is telling him that he should not open the madir door as it is believed by the locals that after the evening's arti when the doors are closed, then Krishna and Radha comes to the mandir to do raasleela and if any human or animal enters the temple at this time, they will loose their sight and ability to speak so that they can never tell anyone what they saw. Dev is not listening to anything she says and walks towards her completely mesmerized. He asks her suddenly if she is the girl he saw at the Raasleela and Radhika gets scared. She steps back when Dev hears Birju calling out to him. Dev goes to Birju and tells him to hurry and see that the girl of his dreams is real. Birju looks towards the door but Radhika has already gone from there. Dev goes all around the temple looking for her and Birju is worried. He says that the foreigners have make Dev study so hard that his brain is tired that's why he is hallucinating.
Radhika comes home to see Vishakha being scolded by her father. Brij Mohan tells Vishakha that she will not leave the house without his permission for anything. And he tells Amma and Devki they are responsible for her. Amma tells him that he is overreacting and that Vishakha is a good girl she might have gotten lured by the 'maya' of the world. She tells Vishakha to go and rest. Radhika comes to Vishakha and apologizes saying that Baba had sent her for some work and she couldn't refuse. Vishakha is very upset and angry and says that no one can stop her from fulfilling her dreams and that she hates this kind of small town thinking. She says once she becomes a film star everyone will come after her.
Dev is telling Dadi about the girl he has fallen for and Birju keeps trying to interrupt (funny scn'Birju is so cute). Dadi is happy to hear this and gets a little emotional saying that now Dev should bring home the choti bahu and soon their house will be filled with happiness and she wants to see her grandchildren soon. She says that she had lots of hope from the badi bahu but she disappointed. Dev tells her that he'll fulfill her wish as not for the first time the idea of marriage makes him happy.
Brij Mohan is discussing with his wife that he is worried Vishakha might make a wrong decision and therefore he has decided that she should get married as soon as possible. Devki asks if they are hurrying as Vishakha just graduated from college and is still young. Brij Mohan says that if they wait it will be too late and his decision is final.
In Dev's house his Bhabhi is yelling at Vivek. She is angry that the whole family is raving about a Choti bahu thinking that they will get a sati-savitri as if the badi bahu is a kalank on them. She tells him that she is not responsible for his disability and if he was alright then she too would get the respect she deserves. Vivek is listening to her quietly. She says that she tolerates so much and no one even cares to listen to her or understand her problem. She is the one taking care of a disabled man and everyone is praising a Choti Bahu that they have not even seen yet.
Dev enters their room overhearing this. Vivek tries to cheer up seeing Dev and says that they were talking about him and Mrinalini (finally we know her name), was saying that she is happy for him. Mrinalini changes her tone when she sees Dev and says that they are so lucky that Dev has decided to spend some days with them as they never get to spend time with him. Dev says that his family is lucky to have a bahu like her who takes such good care of everyone and loves everyone. Vivek looks disappointed and Mrinalini asks if Dev is being sarcastic. Dev says no that he could never be sarcastic with his only bhabhi. He gives her the gifts he got for her and tells him brother he'll talk to him later. Dev leaves and Vivek looks at Mrinalini sadly. (this bhabi creature seems to have a flirtatious tone with Dev hmmm')
The next morning Brij Mohan is sitting with a panditji (same one at Dev's house) and tells him that he is looking for a groom for his daughter. Vishakha walkby hearing this and smiles. She goes to the kitchen and Radhika was bringing out the tea, she tells Radhika that they are talking about Radhika's rishta. Radhika seems upset and says that's not possible. She goes to give the tea and Brij Mohan tells the pandit that they are looking for a well cultured family and the boy should be educated. He shows the picture of Vishakha to Panditji and Radhika sees this and smiles. She looks at Vishakha who smiles back thinking its for Radhika when Brij Mohan mentions her name and Vishakha is angry.
Precap: Vsihakha tells her mother that she is not interested in this marriage.
Comments: It was interesting to see the sisters today. There is a fine line in their relationship. Its hard to tell but sometime it does seem like Vishakha loves Radhika as a sister but is just too caught up in her own world. She is difficult character to understand. Mrinalini kind of disgusts me with the say she is sweet with Dev. Don't know what her intentions are. Poor Vivek but her frustrations can also be understood. I don't know why Dev's family is so bent on getting a choti bahu. It would make any woman insecure.
