AMBIKA BHABHO BRIJESH DHEER KARAN KAVERI MANNO NAHAR NARPAT NEEL SALONI SAMAR SHUBHRA TARA URVASHI BRIJESH Mr. Lamba,please think about it once more. It's wrong of you to do this. Okay, I'll phone you later. TARA What happened? - There's Mr. Lamba. BRIJESH He's in his present positiononly because of our company. But now, he wants to doublethe prices of the raw materials! NAHAR He's such a greedyand ungrateful man! After all,he's the sole dealer in this area. So we're compelled to purchaseraw materials from him. SALONI Even our milkman was like that. He used to raise the priceof milk whenever he wished. One day,we got fed up and told him that.. ..we no longer wanted hismilk since we had bought our own cow. He came onto trackfrom the very next day. That's the way to dealwith such greedy people. I'll be right back. NAHAR Yes .That's the great idea. KAVERI I'll take it. KAVERI Hello. KARAN It's me, Mrs. Kaveri. KAVERI Yes, Sonia. Tell me. KARAN I had a meeting with SHUBHRA. KARAN It was very sweet and lovely.- Well? Congrats. KARAN I want to meet you. Right now, at the flower market. You'll come, won't you? KAVERI Of course. KAVERI It was my friend's call. AMBIKA NEEL, I wanted to tellyou something important. SHUBHRA is in her7th month right now. And, as per tradition.. ..her baby shower ceremonyshould be held now. If you give your consent,then we'll invite our relatives. NEEL You're embarrassingme by asking me that. Just tell me whatpreparations I should do. NARPAT You won't have to do anything.We are there. Being SHUBHRA's parents,we'll handle everything. As it is, as per tradition.. ..the baby shower ceremonyis not from your side. AMBIKA No. As per tradition,a girl's baby shower ceremony.. ..is held in her in-laws' house. SHUBHRA What in-laws' house areyou talking about, mamma? Is our house filled withrelatives and family members? Aapji? He's no relative of ours. Traditions and customs canbe changed as per one's convenience. The ceremony will be held right here. AMBIKA Think before you say something. AMBIKA Son-in-law, if you don't mind,then can we proceed? NEEL Whatever you consider right. KAVERI SAMAR?! Here? That means he's following me. What do I do? KAVERI So you've come here to spy on me? Even the slightest trustdoesn't exist in our relation. You've hurt me by doing this. I know that you considerme to be a vile woman. But I'm not so vile thatI'd leave my own husband and.. SAMAR I didn't mean anything like that.I wasn't spying on you. But what are you doing here? KAVERI I was about to buy banglesfor SHUBHRA from that shop. Her bangles have grown old.I was going to her house.. ..so I thought ofbuying a few for her. But if you weren't spying on me,then what are you doing here? SAMAR I had some work here,that's why I've come. NARPAT It will cost atleast30 to 40,000 rupees. How will we arrangefor so much money? We don't have anything in the bank.. ..and can't ask fromsister-in-law Manno too. We're already indebtedto her so much. SALONI When I am there, you don't haveto ask anyone for anything, papa. I'm your elder daughter. After my marriage,I've certainly left this house.. .. but haven't brokenmy terms with you. So it's my duty to shareyour responsibilities. AMBIKA That's not possible. Parents always giveto their daughters.. ..and never take anything from them. It's a sin for us to evenaccept water from your house.. And you're talking of money. SALONI I'm not talking of moneyfrom my in-laws' house. I'll give you somemoney I've myself saved. SALONI You can't refuse now. I'm going now;I've to make a lot of preparations. AMBIKA Okay, child; go. AMBIKA Today, SALONI is taking on herself.. ..the responsibility of our son. NARPAT We've turned so helpless! We have neither money norour own roof over our heads. And now, we've to takemoney from our own daughter! AMBIKA What's done is done,and can't be reversed now. Instead of shedding tears.. .. we should thinkof SHUBHRA's baby shower. This.. This necklace has been rottingin the cupboard since years. Let's sell it. NARPAT It's your most favourite necklace. AMBIKA But it doesn't mean morethan our children's happiness. NARPAT I did my job honestlysince so many years.. ..and never sold my selfrespect to take any bribe. And you are paying theprice for that self respect. DHEER NEEL, your friend usedto be your associate in music. But, in order tosave brother-in-law.. ..she first became James Bond.. And then she arguedin the court as his wife.. .. and now she'sa financial advisor.. .. in brother-in-law's company. BHABHO Well? When did that happen? DHEER This morning. Don't you remember? She had given brother-in-lawthe idea of a cow and milk.. ..in order to applyit in his business. DHEER SALONI, it's no laughing matter.They've even accepted your idea. NEEL Congratulations, SALONI. NEEL SHUBHRA will be waitingfor me at home. I'm going. - Okay. SALONI NEEL. I know you're most understanding. Even then, I'm telling you this. Takespecial care of SHUBHRA. At such a time.. NEEL I won't give youany cause for complaint. SALONI Why did you make funof me in front of NEEL? DHEER What's my fault in that? You had given such an ideathat I couldn't resist making fun. What a similarity! A cow's milk,and a factory's raw materials! DHEER What a great idea!- You're absolutely right, DHEER. BRIJESH SALONI's idea was really great. BRIJESH SALONI, come here. A daughter-in-law is calledthe family's goddess of fortune. You've proved today thatit's not just hearsay, but a truth. Following your suggestion.. .. we've not only taughta very good lesson to Mr. Lamba.. .. but have also stoppeddepending on others permanently. We're opening our ownraw materials factory. Our investors have reallyliked this idea of ours. And the entire creditfor this goes to you. SALONI I had only said something in passing. BRIJESH Those very words ofyours have shown us the way. I want you to conductour new factory's.. .. foundation laying ceremony. URVASHI Mr. BRIJESH, if you won't mind,I'd like to tell you something. Since the time I've come here.. ..I'm seeing a wrong being committed. I'm telling you becauseI can't remain silent any longer. Why are all of youignoring TARA so much? Despite there being an elderdaughter-in-law in the family.. ..you're asking the youngerone to lay the foundation stone! I think this is aninjustice upon TARA. TARA Please don't takesister's words seriously. She is very orthodox.. And so she broachedthis topic of young and old. SALONI I think sister is right. This auspicious deed shouldbe done at sister-in-law's hands. TARA SALONI, no.. SALONI Sister in law, this is your right. And trust me.I'll be more pleased to see you.. ..performing the ceremony. TARA But.. TARA I apologise to youon sister's behalf. I'll explain sister thatSALONI will perform the.. BRIJESH Now there will be no ceremony! SAMAR Sister-in-law Manno,how come you are here today? MANNO I had to come. Because I couldn't extendan invitation from the door-step. SAMAR What for?- Sister-in-law and brother-in-law.. MANNO .. want to celebrateShubra's baby shower ceremony. And so I've cometo invite you for that. Don't get tensed. Everything's been arranged. SALONI will bear all the expenses. KAVERI So what's wrong with that?SALONI is rich. And she can afford it.We can't make even two ends meet. MANNO If you had your ways.. ..you'd find no harmeven if Satan took a rebirth. Each to their own! SALONI is rich but AMBIKAand brother-in-law aren't. So sister-in-law hadto sell her necklace.. ..to arrange money forthe tokens and other things. URVASHI What do you have to say? TARA Sister, you shouldn'thave said all that. What is the harm if SALONIperforms the house ceremony? URVASHI TARA, you are the eldestdaughter-in-law of the family. And so this is your right;not SALONI's. It is.. TARA, it is totally wrong. TARA I don't know all that.All I know is that.. ..these trivial mattersdon't matter to me or SALONI. And our relationship is notaffected by these trivial issues. URVASHI TARA, I think since my arrival.. ..the problems in yourfamily have increased due to me. So, I think I'll leave. TARA Sister, don't talk like that.You won't go anywhere! URVASHI No, TARA.. - No, sister, please.You won't go anywhere! TARA Okay. - Okay. Thanks. SAMAR Mummy! AMBIKA SAMAR, come in! SAMAR I agree that I've alwaysfailed in fulfilling my duties. But the son andbrother in your SAMAR.. ..are still alive. AMBIKA Son, I don't want toaccept anything from you. Kaveri won't like it. And I don't want to earn hercurses on such an auspicious day. It's not right! MANNO Sister-in-law.. ..why fear an evil person's curses? Trees don't fall by ants' bites. AMBIKA But still, I won't.. SAMAR Mother, stop bothering about her.It's my sister's big day. Mother, you expect me tofail in my duties to my sister.. ..for fear of my wife? This can't happen. I was first a brotherand then a husband. And I want to fulfill myduties towards this relationship. MANNO Sister-in-law, accept it.. ..and let SAMAR fulfill his duty. KAVERI Welcome once again to Kaveri's world! Congratulation! KAVERI Good news is awaiting you.- What is it? KAVERI Your unwed bride's pregnancy.. ..will be celebrated. KARAN This is indeed very big good news. What are the orders for me? KAVERI KARAN, you are thechild's real father. And so it is your right.. ..to present the firstgift to the to-be mother. And the gift has to beexpensive to make an impression. And especially,when the child's so-called father.. ..is a pauper. BRIJESH NAHAR has also come! MANNO Son-in-law,we've come to invite you for.. .. Shubra's baby shower ceremony. MANNO And all of you also. Actually, AMBIKA also wanted to come. But so much had to be donein such a short span that.. ..she couldn't make it. BHABHO I'm sorry,but we won't be able to make it. How can we come? How can we come when you areinviting us as if we're outsiders? We are relatives not guests. Order us and assign us some work. SALONI Now you are ready. May nobody cast an evil eye! You rest while I'llarrange everything outside. SALONI Kaveri, let's go. SHUBHRA KARAN, what are you doing here? KARAN Shubra, I asked myselfalso this question.. ..that why do I get drawn to you.. ..when you belongto someone else now? And my heart replied thatmaybe not a relationship.. ..but I still love you. Besides, it was necessary.. ..to present you a gifton this special occasion. SHUBHRA KARAN, somebody might see us.KARAN, please go. KARAN Shubra, I am going but before going.. ..let me gift you thison this special occasion. This is my gift tothe mother of my child. Wear it at the time of the ceremony. Though I won't bepresent but my love.. ..and good wisheswill always be with you. SHUBHRA KARAN, there was no need for this.- There was, Shubra! KARAN I wanted to have a nicelovely life full of love with you. But a misunderstanding.. ..ruined everythingbefore it could even happen. You aren't with me nowbut I can at least participate.. ..in my child's happinessand your ceremony.
