The episode starts with everyone astounded to hear Ajit’s words. Rohit rushes towards Ajit-Tanya and demands them, “Are both of you in your senses, what made you to agree with Dad’s decision?” Ajit tells him, “Bhai, I know it is a shock for all of you to listen to this decision, but believe me, both of us, discussed with each, thought a lot and then arrived at this decision, there is no imposition from anyone!” Rohit is amazed with his eyes bulging outwards. Naren smiles and tells Rohit, “Is that enough for you, Rohit? Now that Ajit-Tanya themselves agreed with my suggestion, do you have anything to say?” Rohit stares madly at him. Ajit interrupts him stating, “I agreed to marry Tanya not for you Dad, but for Sonakshi Bhabhi!” All are astonished at that. Naren asks Ajit, “Sonakshi? But what has she done for you that you are returning it as a favour by marrying Tanya?” Ajit takes a deep long breath and confesses, “Without the knowledge of anyone else in this family, I got involved in gambling which cost me a debt of 1 crore and it was Sonakshi Bhabhi who saved me by herself paying the debt!” Then he continues to explain how he had played fraud with Sonakshi, cheated her and made her pay 1 crore. All including Rohit are taken aback. Rohit looks empathetically towards his wife. Veena comes near Ajit and slaps him crossly, “Shame on you Ajit! Shame on you! I can’t believe that YOU WERE INVOLVED IN GAMBLING! One of my sons has cheated his wife, while the other his bhabhi” Sonakshi comes and consoles her saying, “Mamma, Ajit was involved in gambling and it was his helplessness which made him play a fraudster with me, but now he has realised and left all his gambling ways. And Mamma, you should be happy that Ajit has reformed himself and also taking a DECISION TO SAVE HIS FAMILY STATUS!” Veena turns towards Sonakshi and thanks her with folded hands, “I don’t know what good deeds I have done in my previous life that I have got a daughter-in-law like you!” Sonakshi stops her saying, “Please don’t embarrass me Mamma! Ajit is like my brother too, so what difference does it make if I helped him instead of someone else in the family?” Naren is moved by her words and tells her, “Sonakshi, I’m sorry that I have always misunderstood you and even accused you for whatever mistake Rohan has committed! Please pardon me, Sonakshi!” Sonakshi says, “No Papa, please don’t apologise to me because you are like my own father! I lost my Papa when I was very young and when I got you, I was very happy, so please don’t apologise!” Naren nods gladly with a tearful smile. After everyone comes in term with the situation. Sonakshi continues, “I guess that, now since Ajit-Tanya have themselves decided to get married to each other, we all should support them!” Everyone nods in affirmation. YK asks Naren, “Bhai, but how and when will we get them married?” Nishi replies, “I think we should keep this marriage as private as possible, but I fear due to Sonakshi’s popularity, it will be IMPOSSIBLE TO HIDE IT!” Pooja asks, “Guys, why don’t we get Tanya and Ajit married in a legal way?” All are surprised. Rohit says, “Idea is not bad, we could call the marriage registrar to our Sippy mansion and file their marriage legally, that would be an affair as private as possible!” Naren says, “Well I will make the calls for all the necessary arrangements, YK, could you just come along with me?” Naren and YK proceed towards Naren’s office. After they leave, Tanya’s father thanks Veena, “It had been a very hard and long day for my daughter, but you and your family had been a great support for my daughter in this tough time! Thanks a lot, Samdhi ji for accepting my daughter as a part of your family even after her divorce with your son and……” he then turns towards Ajit and says, “Thanks for giving her a new hope in life!” Veena stops him, “Please don’t thank, Samdha ji, your daughter came to our family as our daughter-in-law and whatever happened was not her fault but our son’s fault! So, we will ensure her all the happiness she can get in her life that we can afford for her! And now I guess it’s too late, so please stay along with us and tomorrow once the legal marriage of Tanya-Ajit gets over, you can return to your house peacefully!” Tanya’s dad continues to thank her profusely. Then, Veena turns towards Ajit and says, “I was disheartened to know about your gambling, but now whatever you are doing for Tanya and her child, has made my head lift up! I am PROUD of your decision, Ajit” on saying that, she keeps her hand on Ajit’s cheek affectionately. Ajit feels content and says, “Thanks Mom!” Then he turns towards Tanya and tells her, “Thanks Tanya, I know it was absolutely difficult to take this decision in your already shattered life, but I assure you I will try my best to set all things right and to keep you happy!” Tanya looks on.
Next day morning, Sippy Mansion
The marriage registrar comes and does the needful for legally registering Ajit and Tanya’s marriage. Once all the procedures are over, he congratulates both Ajit-Tanya as they are legally husband and wife now. Everyone smiles and applaud cheerfully. Tanya and Ajit get looking at each other. They share an eye-lock. Nishi asks Naren and Veena, “Bhaiya-Bhabhi, we did this marriage in such a hurry that it’s hardly been a day since Rohan and Tanya’s broke their relationship, will there be any problem because Tanya and Rohan both are not legally divorced yet!” Naren and Veena get tensed on hearing that.
RP Flats, Bandra
Rohan is checking his messages in his watsapp when all of a sudden, a message shocks him. He puts his phone down. Pari comes there hearing the noise and asks him, “What is matter, Rohan?” Rohan says “Pari! Ajit and Tanya have married each other!” Pari is bewildered to hear that.
