Later she does the nail of her mom. 

Jhanvi : Maya, what are you doing, leave all that and come sit here (makes her sit on the sofa and goes into kitchen) 

Maya : what are you doing? come quickly I am waiting

Duo share their moments after the years of bitterness between them

Pihu : Aren't you ashamed of stealing people's belonging 

Arjun : listen 

Pihu : no you listen, you look decent from face and doing this type of work 

"Enough, I am not saying anything and you are blabbering" Arjun gets irritated

Pihu : shut up, instead of dying sorry you are showing me attitude

Arjun ; wow, such double standards, get out right now from my house 

Pihu ; listen, who the hell are you to tell me to get out from here 

Arjun : this is my house alright 

Ayaan tries to stop them both they instead pushes him on sofa again and again irritating him 

"Shut up both of you" Ayaan finally speaks up 

The non stop chattering calms down in the room 

Ayaan ; what the hell is happening here, why are you both fighting like dog and cats, bhai you forgot how to talk with a girl 

Arjun : you are scolding me and what do you mean with a girl, I would be decent with her only when she is girl, from which angle she looks girl 

Pihu : how dare you, Ayaan who is this ill mannered brat 

Ayaan : Enough both of you right now, if you don't stop your fight here then I will throw both of you out from here

Arjun and Pihu : you will throw us out (both attack on him) 

Saanjh stops their fight in the middle 

Arjun ; dusky, why don't you stop her, she is so rude with me, in morning I saved her purse from goon and she instead slapped me 

Everybody have hiding laugh but Arjun instead gets annoyed. He is about to leave when Pihu holds his hand. She sits on her knees 

Ayaan : what are you doing 

Pihu ; you know, I have no family of my own but when Ayaan always told me about you I thought finally god heard my prayers, I have waited three years, every moment that when will I meet my brother 

Arjun melts down seeing the pain in Pihu's eyes and remembers somebody who almost shared the same fate as hers. 

Arjun ; From today, you are not alone, this brother will always protect you (makes her stand up) 

Saanjh : hello, if your both emotional drama has finished can I say something 

Ayaan : bhai thats not fair, first I had to share mom's love and your love too with somebody 

Arjun ; dusky, few minutes ago I said that this girl is no less than a guy, I guess I was right because our Ayaan is a girl (laughs loudly) 

Saanjh : Arjun, this is Pihu, Ayaan's fianc 

Arjun ; And my sister from now onwards 

Saanjh ; wait, introduction is not over, I have somebody else to meet you 

Arjun : how many people are coming to meet me today, I am not a VIP 

Kabir enters the house with a mysterious expression but changes it quickly to happy mode 

Saanjh : this is Kabir, my would be husband 

"Dusky, are you alright, when did you became a girl" Arjun fakes like psycho 

Saanjh ; duffer, I will kill you, Kabir this is Arjun, Ayaan, Vandana aunty and lastly the newer one Pihu, Ayaan's gf
