Episode 77
It’s morning…
The gurudwara is shown…
The grooms and the brides are at two different sides… The men are with 4 grooms and the women with 4 brides…
The brides are getting ready together…
Ragini “Bhai is na total mad… What was the need to make that plan…?? Can’t he stay one night without talking to you??”
Swara “Exactly and Bhai too… He to thinks that he is some super hero… Going and coming by balcony…”
Kavya “I think all did that only… Ravish told me that even Rohan Bhai and Lucky would be doing the same…”
Aisha “I never thought that Ravish will use his training this way… First climbing over balcony and then romancing while being blindfolded…”
She teased Kavya and her face turns crimson… SwaRag giggle…
Kavya “BTW I have heard and even seen Lucky’s sense of romance… I am wondering how he had managed to romance with Ragu… How did he do that Ragu??”
Ragini was irritated and busy fixing her jhumka so she didn’t paid much attention to Kavya’s question and blurted out “Are nothing he kissed me over the chunri…” Only to realize the next moment what she said… Now it was her turn to TURN crimson…
All three in unison “OOOHHH…!!!”
Ragini blushes hard and hides her face…
Ragini “Ok… Fine tell me didar-e-mirror Wala tarika kisne apnaya??”
Aisha starts blushing…
Swara notices it “I think Ragini… Someone is blushing…”
They look at Kavya…
Ragini “I knew it… Rohan can’t think of more than this…”
Aisha ” Ya it was infact his idea…”
Ragini “Such a lame he is… Can never think of his own idea… He saw it in one of the daily soaps MAA watch…”
All laugh…
Aisha “Swara… Ours is over… How did you and Sanskar met???”
Swara “We didn’t… We just talked without showing our face… I was turning back and he was standing behind me…”
Kavya “And then Sanskar hugged you from behind and you did the same without turning back…”
Swara agrees unconsciously… Then realizes what she said… All laugh…
They continue getting ready…
Kavya “Thanks to Swara BTW…”
Swara “Why me??”
Kavya “It was decided in your Marriage only that first in the morning Punjabi wedding will happen and then in the evening marwari one…”
Aisha “And now coz all are getting married together,all are getting this chance as elders are fulfilling the promise of doing both the rituals…”
Swara “Then guys I think you should thank the idea giver… (she signs at Ragini…) My Bhabhi…”
All clap for her…
Ragini smiles and denies any praise…
But still they do…
There is knock on their door…
Dadi “Choriyan the log taiyaar ho ki naa??”
Ragini “Ha Dadi ma… One second…”
Ragini opens the door…
All the ladies are mesmerized seeing the four beautiful Punjabi brides in front of them…
A song plays in the background as all ladies enter and adore the brides…

Mathe Uthe Jhumkar Damke
Palka Uth Diya Ne Thum Thum Ke
Main Vari Vari Java
Ragini’s face is shown…

Dadi does that hand step to ward off the evil sight…
Dadi “Maari Choriyan ghani Sundar lag rhi Hain…”
Sujata “Sach kaha maji… Kinni Soni lag rhi Hain… Yaad Hai jiji… Pari bhi apne vyah me itni hi soni lag rhi thi…”
Annapurna nods…
Sharmishtha and Annapurna emotionally go towards their daughter… They caresses their heads and kiss their foreheads…
Annapurna “Dekh Rahi ho Sujata Aaj Meri beti kitni Bari ho gayi…”
Sharmishtha “MAA… It seems that just yesterday I held my laado in my arms… And see… She is standing as bride in front of me…”
They hug their daughters and sign towards Aisha and Kavya… Aisha hugs Sharmishtha while Kavya hugs Annapurna…
Dadi “Bs karo abhi se senti hona… The bidaai is in evening… We came here for important work… It’s good that choora rasam happens in punjabis as well as marwaris (it’s fictitious… If it doesn’t then please forgive me… And adjust with the story…??) So let us make you girls wear choora…”
They smile and sit in a line… They are instructed to close eyes as they are not allowed to see while wearing it… Then their choora is tied with as soft white cloth…
The brides open their eyes and smile…
Sujata “Wait… Our ritual is left…”
All look at her… She calls in servant and he enters with kalire… The girls smile seeing it… Sujata ties kalire on the girls’ hand now compliments “Now they are perfectly ready”
They all look at their hands and smile seeing identical kalires
Sujata “I specially ordered 4 of same color and design…”
Annapurna does the hand step to ward evil eye off Sujata… While she smiles with pride…
Sharmishtha “Ok girls now cover your faces in veil again… You both still can’t see each other’s face as it’s prohibited according to marwari tradition…”
They nod and cover themselves in the veil…
In the boy’s room…
Lakshya “Sanskar Bhai… Thank you so much for yesterday… Only for you,we did not starved out of love…”
Rohan chuckles as he heard this admiring himself in mirror…
skar “Lucky Bhai you are telling this for 100th time now… Ab plz nai… Waise bhi m getting bored sitting here for more than an hour… Come on Yaar we are not girls to take much time…”
Lakshya “Ha… Even I am getting bored… Chalo let’s arm wrestle… It’s a good time pass and I will also check my strength…”
Sanskar “Not a bad idea by the way… Chalo let’s do..”
They arm wrestle…

Ravish enters while talking on the phone “Ya ok… Keep me informed…”
He keeps down the phone and exclaims happily “Finally we are do— Oh… What’s going on here???”
He changes statement as he sees the wrestling match…
Sanskar “Nothing bro… We were getting bored…”
Lakshya “And this is way more interesting than waiting…”
Rohan ” And how on Earth is this interesting??”
Ravish “You guys are not even moving by an inch…”
Rohan “Exactly… Wait… What!!!”
Ravish also realizes what he noticed…
Lakshya “Ya… I know that’s the craziness here…”
Sanskar “And the funny part is we both are putting in our 100%…”
Ravish “Amazing man… Two persons with a similar strength… That’s actually awesome…”
Rohan “I will go for Lucky bro… He is my Ragu’s would be after all… Go Lucky Go… Win for Ragu…”
Sanskar “Betrayer… I swear I will Never ever share my ghewars with you…”
Rohan laughs…
Ravish “I am with Sanky Bhai… I owe him for yesterday… Go Bhai… Show that you belong to DIA…”
Lakshya “We all do for yesterday…”
Rohan “But I can’t miss the fun of him getting defeated by someone… He has always done that to me being elder… It’s my turn now to tease… I was waiting for this day…”
Sanskar “That’s so mean… I hate you Rohan…”
Rohan “Aww… Love you too Bhai…”
Ravish “Will you guys stop talking like girls here…??”
Lakshya “Exactly… It’s spoiling the manliness of the match… Come on Sanky Bhai… Put some strength…”
Sanky “Lucky Bhai… Shouldn’t I say the same…??”
Lakshya smiles sheepishly…
RP,DP, and Shekhar enter their room…
RP “What is going on here…???”
Rohan “Are don’t disturb Chachu… Match is on the very crucial point…”
Ravish “Lucky and Sanky Bhai both are unable to move each other even by an inch and that too from last five minutes…”
RP “I don’t believe this that these guys are going to get married today…”
He turns to look helplessly at DP and Shekhar who return him the same helpless and clueless gaze…
DP “Lakshya!!!”
Shekhar “Sanskar!!”
Lakshya and Sanskar at once drop the match and exclaim together “Papa!!!”
While Rohan and Ravish smile sheepishly…
Shekhar “Grow up boys… Come now sit in line… RP ji and DP ji will tie you the turban and I will pin the brooch…”
They nod and sit…
DP goes and ties the turban on Lakshya’s head while RP on Rohan’s…
After that DP moves to Sanskar while RP to Ravish… They complete the ritual…
Shekhar comes forward with 4 identical brooches…
The boys look at it amazingly…
RP “Control Lakshya… It’s not magic… Your Chachi did this… Brooches for you all and kalire for your brides…”
Lakshya “Woah!! Chachi… Unbelievable… Chachu give me treat… My wife’s steps are lucky for you…”
DP “Lakshya… He is your uncle…”
RP “It’s ok Bhai Saab… He is right afterall…”
They all laugh out loud…
Shekhar pins the brooch with their turbans…
They take their elders’ blessings…
Shekhar “Ready to be sacrificed my boys…”
Rohan “Uncle you are forgetting that I already belong to your category…”
RP “Poor kid… He has to live that pain all over again…”
All laugh…
DP “Ok… Chalo let’s go… It’s time…”
They all nod and move ahead…
Rohan (in whisper) “Now we can see their faces without any restrictions…”
Lakshya “Yaa finally after so much tapasya… Sanky Bhai—”
Sanskar “Lucky Bhai not another thank you plz Yaar…”
Ravish “I didn’t knew Lakshya is so grateful…”
Rohan laughs…
DP “Will you guys hurry up!!”
All together “Yes… We are coming…”
They all go together… Poor guys they don’t know that they will again see the veiled ladies…
The guys are being brought…
Shekhar turns and sees Rohan smiling broadly…
Shekhar “Rohan… I guess I know the reason of your smile…”
They all look at them…
DP “But tell him that he has to wait a little more…”
All the grooms laughs and then realize what they heard…
All together “What???!!!!!”
This time The elder men laugh…
Shekhar “Yes… MAA has said that this Marriage will happen them being in veil… Marwari tradition you know…”
Sanskar “I will make sure that I am born Catholic next time… At least the climax is worth waiting…”
Lakshya “Bhai… I am not marwari even in this birth… I will make sure Ragini isn’t in next birth…”
Ravish “It would have been better if me and Kavya would have Married in court… At least we would have seen each other…”
Rohan “Chill guys… Relax…”
All look at him in shock…
Rohan “Exactly… Come on… You will see those faces your whole life… And this is the moment when your love and patience will be tested… And if you try to understand it,you will enjoy… Ask me… I am literally reliving those moments… I was dying to relieve these moments… They are so cute… Iska apna alag maza Hai…”
Shekhar “Such a lier he is I am telling you… He was the most difficult thing I handled in his wedding…”
Sanskar “Exactly papa… Coz of him,I got so much of scolding as he made me caught among the ladies just to talk to Aisha once… And janab abhi gyaan baat rhe Hain…”
Rohan “Ok… I agree but it was my first time…”
All 3 together “And so is ours…”
Rohan “Exactly so don’t waste these precious moments… Relax and enjoy coz all are not lucky enough to relieve these moments again…”
Lakshya “Rohan is right… We should enjoy these moments… They are precious…”
Ravish “I don’t believe that I am talking to Rohan Mehta right now…”
Rohan “Ok fine… Sometimes even I talk wisely…”
RP “It’s ok Rohan beta… It happens… Shaadi ache acho ki aankhe khol deta Hai…”
DP “Haa… Aur ache ache Befikroin ko Philosopher bana deta Hai…”
Shekhar “Are samdhi ji,Kyu beete din yaad Kara ke jale pe namak daal the Hain…. Business krne Kolkata Kya Gaya… Maarwari tadke wali daal se maach jhol ho Gaya(plz don’t mind this joke of mine ?)”
All laugh….
Sanskar “Perfect… It’s recorded… Ab ye jayega sidha MAA ke pas…”
Shekhar’s face colors fade “Sanskar… You are joking na beta… Plz tell me you are….”
He gulps…
All laugh…
Sanskar “Chill popsy… I was…”
Shekhar heaves a sigh of relief…
DP “Shall we go now??”
They all nod and go ahead…
The grooms enter the main hall in gurudwara where the Holy Granth Sahib is placed… All the men bow their head and seek blessings from the Granth Sahib…
They then sit on the men’s side…
There are musicians as well…
Music plays as the brides enter the place…
SONG:AAah aah aah aah aah………
Shehnaiyo kee sada keh rahee hai Khushee kee mubarak ghadee aa gayee hai
Sajee surkh jodee me chand see dulhan Jamin peh falak se paree aa gayee hai
Aah aah aah aah aah………
Aah aah aah aah aah……… aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah aah………
The brides enter the hall and walk slowly towards the Holy Granth Sahib… The grooms smile looking at them… The brides take the blessings and sit with the women… They are in veils but can see through it… They blush as they see their partners staring at them and smiling….
SONG:Dulhe kaa sehra suhana lagta hai
Dulhan kaa toh dil divana lagta hai
Palbhar me kaise badalte hain rishte
Abb toh har apna begana lagta hai
Dulhe kaa sehra suhana lagta hai
Dulhan kaa toh dil divana lagta hai…
The Amritdhari Sikh calls the the bride and grooms and instructs them to sit together…
All the couples sit together in the middle… Lakshya holds Ragini’s hand… She smiles and tightens her grip over his hand… He smiles…
SwaSan also have similar moment…
Rohan and Aisha just keep looking at each other through veil and smile…
Ravish and Kavya are not free from blushing…
Then the priest (The Amritdhari Sikh) reads the holy scripture…
He then instructs the couples to get up and do the ritual of laavan…
They get up…
SONG:Sat phero se bandha janmo kaa yeh bandhan
Pyar se joda hai rab ne prit kaa daman
Hain nayee rasme, nayee kasme, nayee uljhan
Honth hai khamosh, lekin keh rahee dhadkan
Dhadkan dhadkan dhadkan dhadkan
Dhadkan meree dhadkan, dhadkan teree dhadkan
Dhadkan dhadkan dhadkan dhadkan……..
Dhadkan meree dhadkan, meree dhadkan
Mushkil ashko ko chhupana lagta hai
Dulhan kaa toh dil divana lagta hai
Palbhar me kaise badalte hain rishte
Abb toh har apna begana lagta hai
Dulhe kaa sehra suhana lagta hai
Dulhan kaa toh dil divana lagta hai…
The priest continues to tell them the meaning of each laavan before they begin it… He then tell them the vows associated with each laavan… They all accept the vows and continue their round around the Holy Granth Sahib…
All look at them and smile…
SONG:Mai teree baho ke jhule me palee babul
Ja rahee hu chhodke teree galee babul
Khubsurat yeh jamane yad aayenge
Chahke bhee ham tumhe naa bhul payenge
Shekhar reminisces his moments spent with Ragini… How she calls him her super hero… Her best friend… How she hugged him when he gifted her her first phone… He wipes his tears from the corner of his eyes as he comes out of his and Ragini’s moments’ flashes… He smiles looking at his daughter as bride…
He then looks at Durgaprasad who is also tearful… He is also lost in his memories of Swara… He takes off his specs and wipes his tears… Shekhar keeps a hand on his shoulder… He nods and smiles…
SONG:Muskhil, mushkil, mushkil daman ko churana lagta hai
Dulhan kaa toh dil divana lagta hai
Mushkil daman ko churana lagta hai
Dulhan kaa toh dil divana lagta hai
Palbhar me kaise badalte hain rishte
Abb toh har apna begana lagta hai
Dulhe kaa sehra suhana lagta hai
Dulhan kaa toh dil divana lagta hai
Dhadkan dhadkan dhadkan…….
The ritual gets completed…
The priest blesses them…
They all come out of gurudwara…
Dadi “Yahan pr sab kuch ache se ho Gaya… Ab bs sham me shaadi ache se ho Jaye…”
Sujata “Sahi kaha maji… But thori photo shoot ho Jaye… Bahu betiyoin ke sath…”
Sharmishtha “Ha ha Bilkul… Boys , go sit in car there… We are coming after photo shoot…”
Sanskar “This is not fair MAA… I also want to click pics with my Dracula sisso…”
Ragini hits him in the stomach…
Sanskar “Ouch…”
Aisha “This should happen with you…”
Ravish “But Sanskar is right… We also want pics in these dresses… We won’t go…”
Annapurna “But,you cannot see your brides’ faces…. Then how can you stay here”
Lakshya “But MAA,we are not going to marry again that we will click pics that time to compensate this…”
Rohan “Exactly… We need pics… Kavya is like my sister… I also want a pic with my sister… Infact we all want… Our sisters are also precious for us…”
Ragini “Shut up you…. I know that it’s all conspiracy to see Aisha’s face…”
Swara “But we won’t let you succeed… Go and sit in car…”
Kavya “And aap logoin ko apni behan ke sath hi to pics chahiye to ghar me le Lena… Anyways abhi bidaai nai ho rhi Hai… To there is no problem…”
And the boys are clean bold… They reluctantly go to their cars and sit there with gloomy faces while the brides enjoy the photoshoot…
Sanskar “Why do I feel sometimes that only girls’ Marriage is happening… Not our’s….”
Lakshya “Exactly… We are their better halves and we are being neglected…”
Ravish “Abhi to Puri shaadi bhi nai Hui lekin suffer krna shuru KR Diya Hai hmlogoin ne…”
Rohan “This is trailer my dear brothers…. Picture abhi baaki Hai…”
They continue to sit with their gloomy faces…
