[Sitar music]
[Devotional music]
That's for the ritual, child.
- Keep it. - Okay.
Amazing dance! Hard to believe it's your first time.
Did you rehearse in Mumbai?
Monty, stop!
All set, Panditji?
It would be if you'd get mango leaves and a pot.
I did mention it.
Yes, right away.
- Shekhar babu. - Yes?
[Clears throat]
Hello.
- I'm listening. - Through gaze?
Go check
about the leaves. They're needed.
Go.
The ritual will begin in 10 minutes.
Neeta and Rajesh ji haven't come yet.
Let me call them.
Have you eaten?
- Ask mom. - Should I get you something?
[Phone ringing]
Brother Vivek.
Hello, brother.
Hello, Rajesh ji.
Has the flight landed?
I guess it did
but we're not on it.
Something urgent came up.
It needed to be dealt with or the trip would go waste.
I see.
Hope Neeta is on the way here.
[Dramatic music]
There was no point in sending her anyway.
Don't worry, we'll take a late-night flight.
Well, hold on.
- Brother. - Listen...
- Rajesh ji is still in Mumbai. - What?
- Is he on the call? - Yes.
Don't know.
- Hello. - Hello, brother.
Hello. Rajesh babu, this is not done.
Everyone's waiting for you.
I'm sorry but don't wait for us.
I'll make up for my absence.
See you in Ratlam.
We'll be home before you return.
All right, we'll wait.
Okay, brother.
- See you. - See you.
[Sighs]
Not coming?
Something came up.
[Dramatic music]
[Car approaching]
[Dramatic music continues]
[Phone vibrates]
[Suspenseful music]
Hello.
Hello, Rishu.
Excuse yourself if someone's around.
Excuse me.
[Suspenseful music continues]
What's wrong, aunt? Whose number is this?
Your uncle knows the truth.
Jagatram spilled the beans.
He took my phone away
so that I can't speak to you.
Mr Rathi, it's time for the ritual.
Call the groom.
Rishu.
What do you mean he knows?
[Sighs]
You know what I'm talking about.
Rishu.
Rishu!
Rishu.
- Rishu. - Yes.
Listen, if uncle confronts you,
just deny it.
I'll handle the rest.
- But aunt... - Rishu.
Come.
Thank you.

Episode 7 Code of Conduct.
(Sanskrit chant)
Now pour water on the pot.
[Soft music]
The prayers are done.
Many congratulations.
Congratulations.
[Music playing]
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
- Congrats. - Congrats.
The ritual is done.
If you agree, let's find an auspicious date for the wedding.
- Sure. - Absolutely.
We'll get back to you.
Let the families discuss this privately.
This year we want Surbhi to
perform 'Janmashtami' prayers at our place.
You all must come.
We'll declare the wedding date that day.
- Okay? - Yes.
Kids, can you wait that long?
[Laughing]
I mean, there's no auspicious date
in the near future.
Okay.
Seek blessings from your elders.
Okay.
That's it, son. Bless you.
Brother, it was a pleasure having you with us.
- Please forgive us for any inconvenience. - Don't say that.
- Rishu, - Very good program.
Surbhi's cousin wants to meet you.
Go on, Rishu. You must keep her sisters happy.
[Laughing]
- See you downstairs, aunty. - Okay.
Come.
- Brother... - Do come over for 'Janmashtami'.
Yes, we'll be there.
[Knock on the door]
Hello, sister-in-law.
Surbhi wanted to meet you, not her cousins.
Not my fault.
I'll wait.
[Footsteps]
What happened?
You tell me.
You were sulking through the ceremony
as if you are forced into the marriage.
Nothing like that.
I have photos for evidence.
Are you anxious?
[Bangles chime]
Aunt called.
Where is she and her husband?
They're in Mumbai.
She said...
What did she say?
She said Surbhi is a snob.
I could've found a better match.
[Sighs]
Your aunt is honest.
[Chuckles]
I'm sure there's truth in what she said.
What exactly do you mean by snob though?
I'm not sure, perhaps a short-tempered girl.
[Soft music]
[Chuckles]
Didn't your family comment on me?
Fishing for compliments?
[Sighs]
Kaka Hathrasi wrote something for you.
Not again.
Listen to the benefits of being a son-in-law.
Go on.
'Son-in-law is a unique specie'
'who sucks the lives out of his parents-in-law'
'He's a blood sucker'
'Work hard and keep filling his pockets'
[Soft music]
What happened?
Nothing much. That reminds me of uncle Rajesh.
[Chuckles]
[Bangles chime]
[Soft music]
[Clears throat]
Well,
- aunt... - Rishu, Surbhi, sorry to disturb.
Let's go, your dad is getting anxious.
Come.
[Soft music]
[Footsteps]
[Bangles chime]
- Thank you, Monty. - Any time, Surbhi.
[Ominous music begins]
[Water splashes]
[Car break screeches]
Come.
- Great fun. - Let's go.
[Suspenseful music]
Nice people.
I liked the family.
[Footsteps]
[Indistinct chatter]
- Rajesh babu, you were missed. - Greetings.
- What was so urgent. - Please sit, I'll tell you.
Hello.
- How are you? - I'm good, and you?
- Hello. - Sit.
Today's function was amazing.
Everyone missed you and aunt.
We couldn't come.
Put him to bed.
[Dramatic music]
Yes, I'll go.
[Footsteps]
Show us photos of the ceremony.
Yes, Aseem clicked many pictures.
- Did you all dance? - Yes.
Everyone was made to dance.
You missed it, uncle.
[Footsteps]
[Suspenseful music]
Here he is.
Just saw your pictures.
Everyone looks happy.
Uncle, I need to talk to you.
Just give me 5 minutes.
I too have something to say.
Let's talk here.
I'm a part of this family
since you were born.
Rajesh babu,
is something wrong?
Rishabh?
I'll tell you.
Montu.
- Uncle, it's Monty. - Whatever.
You may go now.
See you later.
Champak.
[Dramatic music]
[Sighs]
Come.
Sit down. Let's talk.
Sit down.
[Clears throat]
Brother,
do you remember what you said when I married Neeta?
You said, Rajesh babu,
it's a great honour that
you agreed to marry Neeta.
I got emotional.
I thought this is a decent family.
Since that day,
I've done my best to uphold this family's honour.
It wasn't easy.
I made sacrifices...
Parted with friends who drank.
Neeta and I couldn't have children
so I loved these children as my own.
This family's culture is a code of conduct for me.
Hence, I'm disappointed
that rules of this family have changed.
What's the matter, Rajesh babu?
[Suspenseful music]
[somber music]
I assure you,
the rules of this family are still the same.
That's what you think, brother.
Rishabh doesn't.
What did he do?
[Suspenseful music]
You sent him to Mumbai to study.
Do you know how he uses the money meant for his education?
On drinks and merry-making with girls.
What are you saying, Rajesh babu?
He's wrong, brother.
The security guard misled him.
Rishu complained against him...
- Brother, either she speaks or I do. - You speak.
Rajesh babu, you made a huge allegation
on a guard's word!
Brother, I feel ashamed to even say this
but Rishu felt no remorse.
[somber music]
You're surely mistaken.
Rishu can never do that.
Indeed. The guard is lying.
Sister-in-law, Rishabh is like a son to me.
But I've investigated.
How can I deny what I saw in person?
I kept telling myself that Rishabh
was probably spoilt in bad company.
But if a boy has bills worth thousands spent on alcohol,
girls stay at his place...
Rishabh, is this true?
- Friends can't be blamed here. - Why are you quiet?
Rishabh is the spoilt brat
that parents warn their kids against.
Why are you silent?
[Suspenseful music]
Rajesh babu,
we respect you
but
he drinks
and a girl lived with him...
That's impossible.
That's not true.
Wouldn't Champak know?
No point asking Champak.
Ask Rishabh.
You think he's always honest.
He's an ethical lad.
Ask him.
During the lockdown from 24th-30th March,
which girl stayed in his house?
Champak wasn't home that time.
Who was that girl
who loitered around in your clothes?
Speak up, Rishabh.
Speak up.
I don't want to be the villain here.
- Let's go, Neeta. - Rajesh babu.
[Suspenseful music]
Please continue.
How did you find this out?
Brother, don't believe me.
Just check his mobile.
The truth will be out for all to see.
Aseem
check his phone.
[Somber music]
That's a huge problem.
Listen, stay over at my place tonight.
Tell them I insisted.
We'll get time to think of something.
[Clicks]
What are you doing?
I'm deleting my chats and photos with Surbhi.
There's nothing here.
Only photos of family and Ratlam.
[Suspenseful music]
Nothing.
He must've deleted it.
His aunt must've alerted him.
You told him, right?
Didn't you, Neeta?
- Rajesh babu. - Answer me.
Rajesh...
[Somber music]
Brother Vivek, Rishabh won't say anything.
Let me tell the truth.
I went to Mumbai
and the security guard told me
a girl stayed at his house.
Do you know
which car picked her up?
A car from Mariana College.
[Dramatic music]
I wanted to prove the guard wrong
so I went to the girls' hostel of Mariana College
and showed his photo to the guard there.
He recognised him right away.
He said this boy came to the hostel to meet a girl.
He was certain
he stayed in a girl's room all night,
and everyone saw him leave in the morning.
Surbhi studies in
Mariana College.
[Suspenseful music]
Yes, brother.
Who was that girl?
[Dramatic music]
I know everything.
Uncle, hear me out please.
Keep quiet.
You will get a chance to explain.
[Suspenseful music]
Rajesh babu?
It's someone called Divya.
[Dramatic music]
[Phone ringing]
Surbhi's calling.
[Phone ringing]
[Chuckles]
Just think, brother,
our daughter-in-law
lives in that hostel.
Perhaps she knows Divya.
Had she seen him with that girl,
would she agree to marry him?
Sooner or later, she will know.
Truth can't remain hidden.
Brother,
how will we face them?
[Phone ringing]
Let Rishabh explain himself.
Is this true?
Rishabh, I'm talking to you.
I asked you a question.
He won't say anything.
His silence speaks volumes.

150/110
You shouldn't have danced so much, dad.
I wanted to dance a lot more like actors.
But the song wasn't upbeat.
[Chuckles]
Your mom is getting old. She didn't remind me of my medicines.
You have it yourself every day.
Use me as a scapegoat.
Of course.
Come, my dear.
Let's make a list of wedding preparations.
I am so worried.
- 'Janmashtami' is around the corner. - Agreed.
Check her BP too, it must be really high.
Let's go.
[Footsteps]
Mom, I have something to say.
Sure.
Mom can handle everyone except you.
- My daughter makes up for it. - The jewellery I got at my wedding.
Give it all to Surbhi.
I hardly wear them.
All I wear is a choker or chain at functions.
Here comes the serious guy.
High BP?
What are you saying, child?
Those are your ornaments.
Shekhar will get upset.
Mom, we know
we're facing financial strain.
I'll be glad if I can
contribute even a little.
[Soft music]
You needn't worry.
If I want ornaments,
I'll force your son to buy me new ones.
He can't turn me down.
Are you gossiping about me?
We do that to your face!
[Laughing]
No, we're discussing
about giving you home-cooked meals at the wedding.
No oil and spices.
Here comes fresh hot poha and jalebis.
- Wow. - Let's eat, dear.
Mom, the groom's family gave me money. Hand it to me.
No. Take it when you leave for the US.
I want it so I can repay you
as my contribution to her wedding.
- Smart. - Consider it done.
Not done. Take a photo while I give the amount.
- There should be proof. - Send him away, dad.
We can't have serious discussions with him around.
That's why we need him.
So you can be more relaxed.
Let's enjoy the wedding.
- Make changes if it exceeds the budget. - Correct.
I am in favour of this portion.
I enjoyed my wedding and I'm happy.
Shekhar was worried then and now as well.
[Laughing]
- Stop. - [Dishes clattering]
What about the gift for Neeta and her husband?
They didn't turn up.
I sent it over, dad.
Pakhi's uncle will give it.
They are neighbours.
Guess they have reached Ratlam safely.
- [Murmuring] - [Dishes clattering]
Got a call, dear?
No, dad.
They're more excited than us
to plan the rest.
- A little... - Put it away.
[somber music]
[Cough]
Did you tell the newspaper guy
[Dishes clatter]
What? Are you angry?
You've been angry for 20 years.
It's hard to know
when you're angry and when you're not.
Not that it mattered to you in 20 years!
Out with it today.
Spew all the venom you're holding within.
Hope the tea isn't poisoned!
It's you who spewed venom last night.
I'm sure you're feeling light now.
[Breathing]
You insult me in the politest way.
Such a pretty face
but a bitter heart.
You didn't deserve any better.
You're shallow.
You hate Rishabh with all your might
because he found flaws
in your business plan!
You're blaming me for Rishabh's misdeeds!
I'm sure you've heard the saying,
'Do not shoot the messenger.'
Drop the act.
You acted out of greed last night.
[Light music]
Nobody will believe Rishabh
and you will have your way with their money.
Greed comes easily to you.
You agreed to marry me 20 years ago
[Dramatic music]
to get continued financial support from my brother.
[Somber music]
Listen,
you
don't give yourself enough credit.
I liked you
but you never liked me
because your heart was set on Mohit.
You're blaming me.
It's not my fault if your beloved nephew went astray!
[Laughing]
I've reached Rajesh ji's house.
His car is here so he must be home.
Don't worry,
- I'll hand him the gifts. - I just told the truth to your family.
If I meant to insult your family,
I'd have gone to the girl's family
and exposed Rishabh.
I'd show them the alcohol bills.
He lived there with a girl.
I'd interview her and approach Surbhi's parents
[Dramatic music]
and tell them
your nephew slept
with the girl.
I'm sure he had relations with other girls too.
I'm sure he's drinking even now.
[Sad music]
I didn't tell Surbhi's family.
Rest assured, I won't tell them.
Do you know
why you're siding with him?
Because he has taken after you.
[Sad music]
First, you brought shame to this family,
then he followed suit.
In both cases,
I helped this family.
Understood?
[Somber music]
Nice tea.
It got cold though.
Heat it.
[Somber music]
[Sighs]
I've already sent the CV.
Please help me.
You know I have enough experience.
What are you doing, son?
I told you to call the banquet hall
and ask for a discount.
Will Surbhi's dress cost around 50,000?
Yes, no point cutting costs.
There's an opening at a friend's firm.
If the interview happens before the wedding,
I'll be able to spend freely.
[Phone vibrates]
Pakhi's uncle.
- Guess he dropped the gifts. - Answer it.
Hello, brother.
[Bangles chime]
Don't spend on my wedding dress.
I've chosen my dress.
Where did you find that?
From your secret hiding place.
I'll wear this.
Are you mad? It's old fashioned.
Pakhi, what do you think?
Of course, it's mom's dress.
I was envious too.
It's better than mine.
It was well preserved.
You have lost your mind.
You will wear a new dress.
Buy for yourself, I will wear this.
Or I'll marry in a saree.
Stubborn girl.
Your groom will laugh at you.
He dare not!
He can't choose my wedding attire.
It's his wedding too.
What will your dad say?
He'll be impressed yet again.
Perhaps you don't want to lend it to me.
I'll pay you for it.
[Soft music]
Tell me, mom, doesn't it look good on me?
Everything looks great on you, Surbhi.
But I know
you're doing this to save money.
[Bangles chime]
I know I can't look as pretty as you did
but I'll never find a better dress.
When I live away and miss you,
I will have something of yours
to remember you fondly.
You don't have to cry for everything.
[Sobbing]
Keep quiet. Let me cry.
This is my stole
so I will wipe my tears with it.
It was yours, it's mine now.
Pakhi, tissue.
[Chuckles]
- You too! - Pregnancy hormones.
Let me capture this moment.
Come here, let's take a group picture.
Shekhar was busy on a call.
Did you visit Rajesh ji?
You didn't?
Stop fooling.
What...
You can speak to Shekhar later. Fill me in.
What's the matter?
Smile.
[Camera clicks]
[Laughing]
[Camera clicks]
Hold on.
Are you sure?
Was he talking
about Rishabh?
Dad, let me talk to him.
Yes, uncle. What happened?
I see.
[Footsteps]
[Soft music]
[Anklet jingles]
Don't spoil my hair.
Dad, how do I look?
[Happy music]
I'll call you back.
- What? - Brother, look.
[Sighs]
Come aside, we need to talk.
Is something wrong?
Listen,
I am about to say something.
Don't overreact.
Why are you saying that?
Nothing much. Pakhi's uncle called.
He said
he went to Rishabh's uncle's place
to give the gifts.
So
he said
that
Rishabh
something...
[Utensil falls]
Dad!
[Intense music]
Dad
Dad!
Sumit.
- Sumit. - What happened?
[Music intensifies]
Dad!
- What happened? - Dad!
What happened to dad?
What happened, dad?
What happened?
Help.
Dad!
Get water.
Dad!
[Dramatic music]
You're my strength. My daughter will take care.
Dad...
Dad!
[Music peaks]
[Music continues]
