'What's this? - Sir, I made this 'kheer' for you myself.'
'Is this lunchtime?'
'No, sir. - Then?'
'I hope the others in the office stop gossiping and focus on work.'
Sir, tea.
Ma'am, tea.
Thank you.
Congratulations, ma'am.
This calls for a party.
A party?
For what?
Congratulations, Anu.
Congrats, Anu. You are full of surprises.
How could you hide something so big from us?
What are you talking about? I genuinely don't understand.
They're talking about your wedding.
'My wedding?'
Congratulations. - Ma'am...
My wedding? - Yes.
You submitted the employee information form, right?
Yes, ma'am.
What did you write for marital status?
Single. - When you're already engaged.
Oh, you're here! - Yes.
Come, have a seat.
How was your day? - Very good.
Yes!
I made 'halwa' for you today,
and your favourite dinner is on the menu tonight.
Hey!
What happened?
Where are you going?
What happened?
'Gopal Sharma'
What happened?
Oh!
I went out to check if I'd entered the wrong house.
Come on!
You always make fun of me because I'm naive.
Not naive,
you're a firecracker.
Hey!
I'm bringing the 'halwa'. - Okay!
Amazing! 'Halwa',
and three cashews on top!
Did you rob a bank or what?
Do you know how expensive cashews are right now?
They're not more expensive than my husband's happiness.
And don't worry. Soon we'll be rich.
How?
Hold it.
This fridge is new. How did it get here?
I'll explain. - Okay.
'Mrs Pushpa, we're soon to become in-laws.'
'So take this fridge as a gift from us.'
I'll start my 'kulfi' business with it.
Then we'll be rich. How's the idea?
It's nonsense.
How dare you take a fridge from Raghupati?
He gave it so lovingly. How could I say no?
It's not a gift, Pushpa. It's a bribe.
He wants to use this to fix Anu's wedding with his son, Vipin.
And I'll never trade my daughter's happiness.
Where are you going?
To tell Raghupati we don't want his bribe.
And take this fridge away.
Gopal!
Ma'am, that is not true.
Oh! So, was your fiancé lying?
My fiancé?
Yes, the one who followed you here.
He told everyone your wedding is fixed.
Ma'am, it's nothing like that, you're mistaken… - Enough!
No excuses. No explanations.
First, you lied about your marital status on the form.
Now, you're lying to my face.
I could take legal action against you for this.
So, be careful next time.
And everyone else, back to work!
My wedding...
Who was that guy?
It seems there has been a big misunderstanding about me
in the office.
'Anu. - Yes, sir.'
'You forgot this box here.'
Okay!
Now, I get it.
Even Aryavardhan sir misunderstood me and is upset.
We don't want your fridge.
Take it away from our door.
But listen to me...
What's the problem, Mr Sharma?
The problem is your arrogance.
You forgot it and sent a fridge to our house,
and hurt our self-respect.
Do you think we can't afford a fridge?
Mr Sharma, you're getting the wrong idea.
That's not what we meant.
Look, we're family now.
And as relatives, it's our right to give something.
Relatives?
Your daughter is coming into our house as a bride.
So we're going to be in-laws now. - Enough!
Now you've said it, don't say another word.
We want neither your fridge
nor your son.
Mr Sharma!
Tell me. What's wrong with my son?
What's right about him?
He's your puppet.
If you ask him to stand, he'll stand.
If you ask him to sit, he'll sit.
If you ask him to leave my daughter, he will do that too.
I don't want my husband to marry a spineless man.
Do you think your daughter will be married to a prince?
Daughters don't need princes.
They need a man who respects them,
someone who'll stand up not just to the world but even to his family.
And one more thing. Today, you tried to buy us with your money.
You've insulted our dignity.
Don't make that mistake again.
Yes, Jhende? - Sir, the task you gave me this morning is done.
So? - I spoke to Anu's friend.
'Who are you people? Get out of my way.'
'You? - Don't worry. We're not here to harm you.'
'We just need some answers.'
'But what?'
'Who is this? - He's Vipin.'
'My brother.'
'My uncle's son.'
'Is he going to marry Anu Sharma?'
'No.'
'But he said in the office that his wedding is fixed with Anu Sharma.'
'No. That is not true.'
'It's true that my uncle went to Anu's house seeking alliance.'
'But Anu and her dad had already refused.'
'Are you sure? - Yes.'
'Okay.'
'Don't tell anyone about this.'
'Okay.'
Thanks, Jhende.
Alright, sir.
'Sir, I made this 'kheer' for you myself.'
'Is it lunchtime? - No, sir.'
'Then?'
What did I do?
Sir, you're here...
Actually...
You didn't eat?
No, sir.
Neither did I. Then let's eat together.
Sir, how can I...
Come on, sit.
Sir, I made this 'kheer' especially for you.
Just taste it once and tell me how it is.
Sir, one moment, please.
It's amazing!
You liked it, right? - One moment, please.
Now try this. 'Pulao' and 'paneer' curry.
You'll enjoy it even more.
Really tasty.
What do they call this feeling?
What's the word? Wow! Very nice!
You should eat too. - Sir, me?
Yes, I said we'll eat together, come on.
Eat it. - Okay, sir.
"It begins and ends with you!"
A heart shattered into pieces, some fell here, some there.
Gone again.
Some people are just unlucky.
They are not destined to find joy.
As they say... It's a case of almost too good to be true!
Well, that seems to be the norm for some people.
"All my desires and dreams drowned"
"in my tears!"
What do you even want?
A cup of ginger tea.
Wow! Life's boiling over here, and you want tea.
Why can't you stand my happiness?
First, you returned the cheque, now the fridge.
The entire neighbourhood is laughing at me.
I've become a joke to everyone.
Pushpa, what kind of mother are you?
Will you trade your daughter for a fridge?
What are you saying?
Every parent dreams of giving their daughter away in marriage.
I didn't do it for a fridge.
I did it for Anu's happiness.
Vipin's a good boy.
If Anu marries him, she'll live like a queen.
But this has become your habit of late.
Every time opportunity comes knocking, you ignore it!
Listen...
Anu has come home tired after work.
If she sees us fighting, she'll get worried.
Mrs Sharma!
You're too much. You made my stomach hurt with laughter.
You two were fighting, right?
When you saw me, you suddenly started laughing.
We were fighting? It's a misunderstanding. - Really?
A misunderstanding? - Yes!
Anyway,
I go quiet in front of Pushpa.
Right, Pushpa? - Yes, that's true.
Now, put this tiffin in the sink.
Go on.
"After meeting you..."
'It's amazing!'
"Our love story is blooming amidst this beautiful ambience."
"My journey begins and ends with you."
One. - Two, three, four.
Pushpa,
you are taking your anger out on the mosquitoes, right?
I'm glad I'm not a mosquito. Or else, I'd be done for.
Just like mosquitoes buzz near your ear,
you're exactly the same.
You never let me work in peace.
You changed the topic the moment your daughter walked in.
One minute you were fuming, and the next, you were giggling.
I almost thought you were possessed by a spirit!
And if I hadn't done that?
Did you forget the two things we decided?
Do you remember?
First,
our fights shouldn't affect Anu.
Secondly, even if we fight, we'll sort it before sleeping.
Yes, I remember! - Do you?
Then stop sulking and smile.
Go, I'm not talking to you.
What are you doing, Pushpa?
You made 'halwa' with three cashews, right?
I'll make some for you and garnish it with four cashews.
What's happening here?
What's going on? - Oh!
Now, you'll say that you weren't fighting.
That it was just friendly banter.
And that I'm the one who has got the wrong idea.
No, Anu, you're mistaken.
Okay. - We don't fight.
We're couple number one.
Then, tell me. What were you both doing, dad?
We were playing 'antakshari'. Right?
"The sun has set. - Evening is here."
"Let me go. - I need to reach home."
"You've... - Just arrived."
Seriously, you both are couple number one.
And you are our daughter number one. - That I already am.
FM? - Yes, sir.
Has sir had his soup? - No, sir.
He said he's not eating anything.
Nothing at all? - No, sir.
Okay.
It seems he's once again on a one-meal-a-day diet plan.
Not one meal.
His meal doubled today. - What do you mean?
Sir is usually very health-conscious.
He eats keeping his age in mind.
But today he had 'paneer', 'pulao', and 'kheer' from Anu's lunchbox.
God knows what else he ate.
All the things he normally wouldn't even touch.
I'm telling you, Jhende, this girl is bad news.
You're overthinking, Meera.
Anu's just an ordinary girl.
Akbar also thought Anarkali was ordinary.
One day, she shook the entire Mughal Empire.
What if
Anu ends up shaking the Vardhan Empire?
