Navya is standing near the drinks counter and crying. Nimisha walks over to Navya and sees her wiping tears from her eyes. Nimi asks Navya in shock as to why is she crying. Navya covers up and says that her eyes are watering cause color went into her eyes. Nimi then remarks that it is a very special Holi for the two of them, because it is Navya's first Holi and Nimi's last Holi. Oh God the new Nimi can't talk, forget act! CVs, get back Shivani! Or basically get ANY chick who can act! Nimi's eyes fall on Nikhil, who's just come and is taking everyone's blessing. She then points out and exclaims that "Nikhil Jee" has arrived! Nikhil JEE eh? Someone's inspired from Payal Jee and Aakash Jee? =P Navya replies that she doesn't need to look, cause the sparkle in Nimi's eyes clearly gives away the fact that Nikhil has arrived. Nimi blushes, and turns her face away, asking Navya not to tease her. Nimi asks Navya to accompany her as she goes to meet her Nikhil Jee, cause she can't exactly meet him in front of everyone. Navya teases her a bit, and tells her to go and offer him some juice; in that way she can meet him and no one will get suspicious! Nimi blushes again and goes off to meet her Nikhil Jee! When Shivani Surve used to essay the character of Nimisha, she'd never address Nikhil as Nikhil Jee! What's up with this chick?
Savita comes over and Navya tells her that Nimi's gone to give Nikhil Jee some juice. Savita is rather shocked, and asked her as to how can Nimi go and serve him juice in front of so many people. Navya just tells her that Nimi wanted to meet Nikhil, so she suggested her to go and serve him juice. She then excuses herself because she has to take water for Anant. Savita looks on worriedly.
Nimi goes over to meet Nikhil and serves everyone drinks. Nikhil's parents compliment her traditions and morals, and the Bajpaayees look on rather proudly. The Bajpaayees and Nikhil's parents go off to meet some Ghansham dude. Nimi is about to walk off, when Nikhil tugs on her arm. She turns, blushes and is like everyone's here!
Navya goes over to meet Anant and gives him the water. She tells him that she got late cause she ran into Sugandha and Savita and landed up talking to them. Anant sees her mood change and asks Navya if they said anything. Navya swiftly changes the topic, and asks Anant if he met Nikhil. He says he has, and remarks that Nikhil and Nimi are nowhere to be seen. Navya smiles, and says it means that they got to talk in private. Navya tells Anant about her convo with Nimi, and Anant just pinches her cheeks and tells her that she's very cute! Navya gets embarrassed and tells Anant to cut it cause there are people around, to which Anant retorts that they're married.
(Bajpaayee's Living Room)
Nikhil has Nimi pinned to a pillar and is asking her to wish him Holi. She's a bit shy and apprehensive, cause she's afraid that someone may come in. Nikhil insists, and Nimi wishes him a Happy Holi. He pulls away, and says that if she was supposed to say it, he wouldn't pulled her to a secluded place. Nimi blushes and Nikhil says that he loves her. Nikhil is insisting, while Nimi is shy and is trying to dissuade him from the notion. He still says that he wants the kiss. Nikhil insists, Nimi refuses. This banter keeps on happening and we see someone approaching the living room, but we don't know who is it as of yet. How much time does Nikhil's mom take to walk to the living room man? Finally, after a lot of unnecessary footage, Nimi kisses Nikhil and wishes him a Happy Holi, only to see Nikhil's mom staring right at them! Nikhil's mom stares at them cosying up to each other and finally says, "Nikhil" rather sternly. Nimi and Nikhil break apart and look at her in shock, and gives Nimi a look. She tells Nikhil to go with her somewhere.

Nikhil's mom drags him out of the place and Nimi bursts into tears. Navya is also there, and Nimi runs up to her and hugs her. Don't ask me how does Navya land up there, cause for the life of me I can't figure out the same!
(Grounds where people are playing Holi)
Nikhil's dad is telling Baba that he's fortunate to have a son like Om. He then compliments Om's kids and Baba and Om give dirty looks. The dude asks Anant if he's ready to shoulder the responsibility of Vedanta Publications, and there is an awkward silence. Anant manages to change the topic and distract Nikhil's dad. Nikhil's mom comes and pulls Nikhil's dad aside, saying that she wants to talk to him urgently. They then have a conversation which is muted. Its evident that she's telling him about the kaand that she just witnessed, and will obviously blame Nimi for the entire thing! Do the CVs think that we're soo naiive? Nikhil's dad looks on angrily as he listens to the entire tale. All of them go up to the Bajpaayees and excuse themselves, and leave abruptly from there. All the Bajpaayees look stunned, and even more so when they refuse the gifts that the Bajpaayees try and give them. Savita is about to go and call Nimi, but Nikhil's mom that there's no need. All the Bajpaayees are rather astonished at this sudden turn of events, but don't say anything.
(Living room)
Nimi is telling Navya the entire story of what transpired between her and her Nikhil Jee and why did she kiss him. She cries and apolgises profusely and is worried as to what will happen. She's terrified that Nikhil's parents may tell the Bajpaayees about the turn of events, and Baba and Om would be mad at her. She then curses her stupidity for succumbing to Nikhil's whims. Awww Nimi, haven't you realized that he's not a good guy? Navya sees her crying and her eyes fill up with tears. Great. Just what we needed. Navya tries to console her, and tells her that she wasn't wrong cause she didn't do it on purpose, and Nikhil would handle everything. The soul of Ekta Maiiya in me tells me that Nikhil is NOT gonna say anything, and is just gonna go with the flow! Which means this is the end of the Nimi-Nikhil relationship! Savita comes in and asks Nimi and Navya as to why are they there. She tells them that Nikhil's family left rather abruptly, and asks Nimi if there's any problem. Navya is about to tell the truth about what happened, but Nimi interrupts her and stops her from telling the truth. Savita leaves from there, and Nimi tells Navya that Savita should not get to know anything.

(Grounds where people are playing Holi)
Anant and Navya meet, and he tells her that they should leave now, cause their work there is done. Navya tells him that they will leave after they give the family the gifts.
Anant and Navya walk up to where the rest of the Bajpaayees are standing. Baba and BD give em looks. Anant tells Baba that he got some gifts for the family from his Holi Bonus and technically his first salary. Rama gives a weird look, Sugandha is all smiley, while Baba and BD give dirty looks. Baba says that its of no use for em and tells Anant to give it to Lochand. Anant, Navya, Nimi and Sugandha are shocked and hurt, while BD smirks evilly. Anant is teary eyed, and with a choked voice asks Baba as to why is he saying that. Baba reemphasizes that these gifts don't suit their status, and he should give it to Lochand. He yells out for Lochand, who comes running over to Baba. He asks Lochand to take away the gifts, and he does so. Anant and Navya bend down to touch Baba's feet, but he doesn't give them his blessings.
I can't describe how disgusting Baba was in this part, so I'll transcribe the scene here for you guys. Gosh I hate him!
Baba: Aise hi jhuke rahiye Anant!
Anant and Navya look up in astonishment.
Baba: Aapko aise dekh kar humein bahut prasannata ho rahi hai. Aisa lagta hai ki kisine ghaav pe marham laga diya hai.
Anant, Navya, Nimi, Om and Sugandha look in shock, as Sugandha's all teary eyed and Anant and Navya's eyes seem rather watery as well.
Baba: Aapki yeh jhuki hui nigaahein humein bahut, bahut ooncha utha rahi hain.
Anant and Navya stand up.
Baba: Ya yun kaho ki aapka toot-ta hua ahankaar dekh kar humein khushi ho rahi hai.
Okay its evident that Baba doesn't know that Anant and Navya have just come to save their reputation in front of Nimi's in-laws!
Anant and Navya have shocked and puzzled expressions on their faces.
Baba: Aapka yeh jhoota aatma-vishvaas ka tootna humein shaanti deta hai. Aaj, Holi ka din hai. Aaj ke din rang chadha kar dete hain. Lekin, humein khushi hai ki aapki aakhon ka bhram, aaj toot gaya. Aapko is ghar mein dekh kar humein shaanti mili. Shaanti hui yeh dekh kar ki aapko aapki aukaad ka pata chal gaya. Aapko gyaan ho gaya ki bina Bajpaayee naam ke aapki koi pehchaan nahi hai. Kyun Saraswati?
BD gives an evil look, Rama actually looks concerned, Om has an unreadable explanation on his face, while the rest of them look pained and hurt.
Baba: Humne kahaan tha naa ki voh din door nahi, jis din Anant humare saamne aakar jhukega aur humari sharto par is ghar mein rehne ke liye tayyar hoga. Aaj wahi hua. Khair, koshish toh ki inhone apne aap ko saabit karne ki. Yeh baat aur hai ki das hi dino mein inko pata chal gaya hai ki inki koshish bekaar hai.
All look shocked, except BD. Navya and Sugandha are in tears, and Anant is also rather teary eyed.
Baba: Jo insaan waqt par samajh jaaye ki voh naakara hai aur haara hua hai voh bahut hi samajhdaar hai. Aur humein khushi hai ki humara Anant samajhdaar nikla. Ek baat bataaiye Anant? Aapki haar kaboolne ke liye aaj ka din hi kyun chuna aapne?
At this point literally everyone with a heart is crying, and Anant is really shocked and hurt and humiliated.
Precap:
Baba is asking Anant and Navya to apologise to the entire family, as without the Bajpaayee's name, they're nothing. Navya is shocked, while Anant folds his hands and apolgises.
Baba is a complete jerk. An evil, foul, loathsome little ferret!
Tomorrow's episode is gonna be dhamaakedaar, cause well, Anant is gonna give Baba a piece of his mind! And now I need to run off to watch a certain other show, so I'll take your leave!
