Dev found himself setting up a romantic scene in the backyard as the sun began to drop. The setting was warm and beautiful. The area was decorated with delicate fairy lights, which gave the scene a mystical feel. A small table was elegantly arranged, complete with candles and flowers. As Dev finished putting the finishing touches on his well thought-out surprise, his heart beat with excitement. He was eager to see how Anna would react to what he had in store for her. "Mujhe aasha hai ki use yah acha laga hoga. Hum dono ke liye yah shaam khaas hai(I hope she likes it. For the two of us, this evening is special.)" Anna, meantime, was inside and was clueless to the magical scene that was taking place in the backyard. Dev had been very careful to hide his secret. He smiled gently as he walked over to Anna. "Anna,kya aap please mere saath pichavaade mein aa sakate hain? Tumhaare liye mere paas kuch khaas hai(could you please come out to the backyard with me? For you, I have something special.)" Anna followed Dev into the backyard out of curiosity. Her eyes widened in surprise and excitement as she stepped outside. With the lovely scent of flowers filling the air and the gentle glow of lights, the backyard had been turned into a romantic haven. "Dev,yah sachamuch sundar hai! Har cheez ke saath kya ho raha hai(this is really beautiful! What's going on with everything?)" Dev grasps her hand. "Yah aapake liye aashchary ki baat hai. Akele hamaare liye, main ek anokha pal banaana chaahata tha(It comes as a surprise to you. For us alone, I wanted to create a unique moment.)" Then Anna's eyes settled on a handwritten letter and a delicate white gown draped over a chair. The considerate gesture made her grin, of course. "A dress? A letter as well? What's the occasion?" Dev moved toward her. "Hum avasar hain, Anna. Main aaj raat hamaare pyaar aur romaanch ka sammaan karana chaahata hoon. Kya aap abhi mujhe dene ja rahe hain(We are the occasion, Anna. I want to honor our love and adventure tonight. Are you going to give in to me right now?)" Touched by Dev's passionate gesture, Anna grinned warmly and nodded. Curiosity laughing, she picked up the dress and the letter. "Main yah shaanadaar gaun pahanane aur yah pata lagaane ke liye utsuk hoon ki patr mein kya hai. Dhanyavaad, Stupid Driver(I'm eager to wear this stunning gown and find out what's in the letter. Thank you, Stupid Driver.)" They moved in the direction of the exquisitely arranged table as Dev held out his hand. Dev wrote a sincere letter to Anna, expressing his gratitude and love for her. The gown was a romantic invitation to a night of dreaming together. With Anna's eyes glowing softly from the flickering candles, Dev's heart was filled to overflowing with emotion. Taking a deep breath, he worked up the guts to admit his feelings. 

 "Mujhe tumase kuch kahana hai, Anna. Mujhe tumase poori tarah pyaar ho gaya hai. Main tumase bahut pyaar karata hoon aur tumhaare bina apane astitv ki kalpana bhi nahi kar sakata(I have to tell you something, Anna. I've fallen totally and completely in love with you. I love you so much and cannot imagine my existence without you.)" The sincerity in Dev's words surprised Anna, and she experienced a flood of mixed feelings. She cared for Dev, but memories of Edward weighed heavily on her heart. Her eyes darkened with uncertainty as she pondered Dev's revelation. "Dev,itana eemaanadaar hone ke liye dhanyavaad. Main hamaare rishte ki saraahana karata hoon aur sochata hoon ki aap ek adbhut vyakti hain. Haalaanki, mujhe apani bhaavanaon par kaaboo paane ke liye kuch samay chaahiye(thank you for being so honest. I appreciate our relationship and think you're an amazing person. However, I need some time to process my emotions.)" A gloomy look replaced by disappointment replaced Dev's, and they both became silent. "Anna,mujhe pata hai. Apane aap ko vah samay den jisaki aapako aavashyakata hai. Haalaanki, yah jaan len ki main aapaka intazaar karoonga aur meri bhaavanaen vaastavik hain(I know. Give yourself the time you need. However, know that I'll wait for you and that my feelings are real.)" Anna decided not to share the details of her complicated history since she was going through an internal struggle. She paused, thinking carefully before speaking. "Dev,mainne pahale kabhi aisa mahasoos nahi kiya tha. Mujhe yah sab samajhane ke liye samay chaahiye kyonki yah mere lyie bilkul naya hai. Kya hamaare liye dost bane rahana ab bhi sambhav hai(this is not how I've ever felt before. I need time to take it all in as it's all new to me. Is it still possible for us to be friends?)" With a forced smile covering his tears, Dev granted Anna's request. "Anna,bilkul. Main hamaari dosti ko mahatv deta hoon aur aapaki bhaavanaon ka khyaal rakhoonga. Agar aapako kabhi bhi baat karane ke liye kisi ki jaroorat hogi to main yahaan maujood rahoonga(of course. I cherish our friendship and will be considerate of your emotions. I'll be here if you ever need someone to talk to.)" The events took place in the dark garden, with the tension between Dev's confession and Anna's uncertain reaction. The family watched this moving event from a distance, unaware that they were part of it, and their faces conveyed sorrow, worry, and grief. "Oh nahi, mainne socha tha ki ve ek behatareen match honge. Kya ho raha hai(no, I thought they would be a great match. What's happening?)" Tej was also upset. "Aisa prateet hota hai ki Dev ne Anna se khulakar baat ki. Mujhe aasha hai ki vah samajhegi ki vah kitana adbhut aadami hai(It appears that Dev opened out to Anna. I hope she understands what a wonderful man he is.)" Sunaina Bhabhi is aware of this. "Pyaar hamesha seedha nahi hota. Main bas yahi aasha kar sakata hoon ki ve isaka samaadhaan nikaalane mein saphal honge(Love is not always straightforward. All I can hope is that they manage to resolve this.)" Isha wipes her tears. "Yah sachamuch dukhad hai. Dev ek adbhut ladaka hai. Mujhe vishvaas tha ki ve poorn premi honge(It's really sad. Dev is a wonderful guy. I believed that they would be perfect lovers.)" Anna has angered Masoom. "Ugh,prem naatak! Cheezen itani saral kyon nahi ho sakateen? Bechaara Dev(love drama! Why can't things be this simple? Poor Dev.)" The disappointment persisted in the air as the family gathered close to one another, whispering softly and exchanging glances. Every member had a different viewpoint, sensing the complexities that had emerged while yet wishing for a lovely love tale to develop. 

The dynamics in Dev's life were already complicated, but the return of Divya added an unexpected twist. Driven by her need to see Dev happy and secure in a loving relationship, Masoom came to Aarti with a bold suggestion. "Mom,Anna ke saath is paridrshy se na to Dev aur na hi parivaar ko kuch pata chalata hai. Koi aisa vyakti avashy milana chaahiye jo vaastav mein is parivaar ka sadasy banana chaahe. Mainne kuch socha hai(neither Dev nor the family get anything from this scenario with Anna. Someone who truly would like to be a member of this family must be found. I've thought of something.)" Aarti is eager to hear about her plan. "Masoom,aage badho. Aapaki kya yojanaen hai(ngo ahead. What are your plans?)" Masoom grins to herself in reflection. "Agar hum ise ek pratiyogita bana den to kaisa rahega? Divya aur Anna yah tay karane ke liye aamane-saamane hain ki dev aur parivaar ke liye behatar patni aur bahoo kaun ho sakatee hai. Vijeta bana rahata hai jabaki haarane vaale ko jaana padata hai(How about if we make this a competition? Divya and Anna face off to determine who can be a better wife and bahu for Dev and the family. The winner stays while the loser needs to leave.)" Aarti thought about the implications of this kind of competition, intrigued by the concept. "Yah jokhim bhara hai, lekin aaie ise karen agar isase Dev ko madad milaie hai aur hamaare parivaar ko sthirata milati hai. Halaanki, jab tak isaki bilkul aavashyakata na ho, hum isaka khulaasa kisi ko nahi kar sakate, visheshakar Dev ko(It's risky, but let's do it if it helps Dev and offers stability for our family. However, unless it's absolutely needed, we can't disclose this to anyone, especially Dev.)" Masoom gave a nod of approval, and together they began creating a series of tasks meant to assess the contestants' skills as wives and family members in diverse areas. Dev and the rest of the family were unaware of new competition. In the meantime, Divya approached Dev and openly revealed her true feelings to him. "Dev,mujhe apani galati ehasaas hua. jJis aadami ke liye mainne tumhn chhoda tha vah vishvaasaghaati nikala, phir bhi main tumase ab bhi pyaar karata hoon. Kya hum ise dobaara aazama sakate hain(I realized my mistake. The man I left you for turned out to be a betrayer, yet I still love you. Can we give it another go?)" Divya's confession and reappearance took Dev by surprise, so much so that he decided to give it some thought. He had no idea what plans were being made in the background.

Aarti brought Divya and Anna together in a secret area to talk about the impending competition. The three women sat together to discuss the delicate matter, and the atmosphere was strained. "Ladies,hamen yah pata lagaana hoga ki is samasya se kaise baahar nikala jae. Meri prastaav hai ki aap donon yah dekhane ke liye pratispardha karen ki Dev aur hamaare parivaar ke liye behatar bahu aur patni kaun ho sakati hai(we must figure out how to get out of this problem. I propose that the two of you compete to see who can be a better bahu and wife for Dev and our family.)" Shocked by the sudden change in the situation, Anna glanced at Divya. It was uncomfortable to think that one could compete for someone's love, but Aarti went on to explain why the choice was made. "Hamaare parivaar mein shaamil hone ke ylie aapake kaushal, naitikata aur samarpan ka pareekshan karane ke liye is pratiyogita mein kai tarah ki chunautiyaan hongi. Jeetane vaale ko rahana hoga jabaki haarane vaale ko jaana hoga(There will be a variety of challenges in this competition to test your skills, morals, and dedication to join our family. The winner is going to stay while the one who lost has to leave.)" 

Driven by her desire to regain Dev's affection, Divya gave a nod of approval. Even though Anna was horrified at first, she considered the possible consequences and hesitantly accepted. "If this is what needs to be done to bring stability to Dev's life and the family, then I'll participate." Then, fully conscious of the possible effect on Dev's feelings, Aarti went up to talk to him about the competition.  "Dev,main samajhata hoon ki yah ek kathin sthiti hai, lekin hamen isaka samaadhaan avashy khojana hoga.Hamane sujhaav diya hai ki Anna aur Divya yah dekhane ke liye pratispardha karen ki hamaare parivaar ke liye sabase upayukt kaun hoga. Aapaka isake baare mein kya sochana hai?(I understand that this is a difficult situation, but we must find a solution. We've suggested that Anna and Divya compete to see who would be the best fit for our family. What do you think about this?" Dev took a deep breath before answering, feeling a mix of annoyance and rage at the state of affairs. "Mom,yah kashtaprad ho raha hai. Aisi koi pratiyogita nahi hai jo yah tay kar sake ki pyaar ke laayak kaun hai. Lekin agar yah samaadhaan prakriya ko suvidhaajanak banaata hai to main isase sahamat ho jaoonga. Please samajhen ki mera dil pahale hi tay kar chuka hai ki mujhe kya karana hai(this is getting annoying. There is no contest that can determine who is worthy of love. But I'll agree to it if it facilitates the resolving process. Please understand that my heart has already decided what to do.)"  The Malhotra home, where generations had shared numerous moments of joy, laughter, and love, served as the setting for the Family Values Challenge. With family photos and souvenirs that reflected the stories of the past, Dev, Anna, and Divya gathered in the living room. "Welcome, Divya and Anna.Hum aaj apane paarivaarik moolyon ke prati aapaki samajh aur pratibaddhata ka pareekshan karane ja rahe hain. Yah is parivaar se sambandhit hone ka ek moolabhoot pahaloo hai(We're going to test your understanding of and commitment to our family values today. It is a fundamental aspect of belonging to this family.)" Tej gives Divya an apparent frown. But he grinned at Anna, who was staring to become close to him.  Seated on the comfortable couch, the competitors prepared to share their thoughts on family through conversation. "Anna,chalie aapase shuroo karate hain. Aapake liye parivaar ka kya matalab hai(let's start with you. For you, what does family mean?)" Anna beams at Aarti, hoping she could call her Mummy ji. "Mummy ji,mere liye parivaar pyaar, sveekrti aur samajh ki aadhaarashila hai. yaY ace aur bure samay mein ek-doosare ka samarthan karane ke baare mein hai(family is the cornerstones of love, acceptance, and understanding to me. It's about supporting one another during good times and bad.)" 

Masoom seemed to be impressed. "Behatareen shuruaat. Divya, ab tumhaari baari hai. Aap parivaaron ke baare mein kya sochate hain(Excellent start. Divya, it's your turn now. What do you think about families?)" Divya was also in touch with her family. "Parivaar pyaar aur suraksha ka ek netavark hai, taakat ki neenv hai. Yah ek saath milakar jeevan banaane aur ek team ke roop mein baadhaon par kaaboo paane ke baare mein hai(A family is a network of love and security, a foundation of strength. It's about constructing a life together and overcoming obstacles as a team.)" They talked about their opinions, beliefs, and experiences with family relationships as the conversation went on. 

After the discussion, the family chose to participate in a tradition that has been passed down through generations and showed the value of maintaining family unity. "Aapako jo kahana hai use sunane ke baad, aaie ek puraane paarivaarik reeti-rivaaj mein shaamil hon. Hum sab milakar apane parivaar kei ekata ki roshani ka pratinidhitv karane ke liey ek deepak jalaenge(After hearing what you have to say, let's engage in an old family custom. Together, we will light a lamp to represent the light of our family's unity.)" A feeling of togetherness was created in the space as the warm glow from the lit lamp spread throughout it. The family assessed their knowledge and respect for the family values by seeing how Anna and Divya embraced the ritual and interacted with family members. The Malhotra family chose to host a game night in their mansion's comfortable living room as their family bonding activity. Family members crowded around, excited to see how Anna and Divya would interact with everyone in a relaxed and happy environment, created a lively atmosphere in the room that was full of laughter and expectation. "Hum aaj raat cheezon ko halka aur aanandadaayak banae rakhenge. Hamaare paas card, board game aur yahaan tak ​​ki kuch naatak bhi hain. Yah vaastav mein buniyaadi manoranjan aur paarivaarik judaav hi lakshy hai(We're going to keep things light and enjoyable tonight. We have cards, board games, and even some charades. It's really basic fun and family bonding that's the goal.)" Decks of cards, a charades set, and board games filled the living area. Everyone sat down and formed a circle, with Divya and Anna joining them. There was an air of excitement in the air. "Dev, tum aur Anna pahale game mein ek saath kyon nahi khelate? Hum pictionary khelane ja rahe hain. Har vakt danga hai(Why don't you and Anna play together in the first game, Dev? We're going to play Pictionary. Every time is a riot.)" As they paired up for the game, eager to take on the task, Dev and Anna shared a small smile. Together with Masoom, Divya formed another powerful pair. "Alright, let the games begin!" Dev and Anna became matched as the Pictionary game progressed, correctly guessing each other's drawings with ease. The family was aware of the undeniable bond they created as their laughing echoed throughout the room. "Unhe dekhe!Jis tarah se ve ek saath kaam karate hain vah utkrsht hai. Aisa lagata hai ki ve sadiyon se aisa kar rahe hain(Watch them! The way they work together is excellent. They seem to have been doing this for ages.)" The family members took turns acting out phrases and movie names during their next game, charades. Once again matched with Anna, Dev correctly predicted her charades, demonstrating their tacit understanding of one another. The Malhotra family chose to merge the old and new for the Bollywood Charades Challenge, leading to a fascinating blend of old and new Bollywood movies. The family members had gathered in the living room to play this exciting game, and the atmosphere was electric. "Theek hai, sab log! Apane aap ko ab tak ke sarvashreshth Bollywood naatakon ke liye taiyaar karen. Hamaare paas nai aur puraani donon filmen hain. Ab chalo kuch maja karen(All right, everybody! Prepare yourself for the best Bollywood Charades ever. We have both new and old movies. Now let's have some fun!)"  Rajesh or Papa Ji smiled at Anna. "Dev,Anna, you're up first. Test your ability to understand these Bollywood classics." After the family was split up into teams, Anna and Dev were reunited on the same squad. Presented in the first round were classic movies from the 1990s and early 2000s. "All right, Dev, get set. This is a timeless piece." Anna displayed a lighthearted look while striking the famous Shah Rukh Khan pose from "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge." The family cheered when Dev made the speedy guess. "Jaisa ki aap dekh sakate hain, ve ise maar rahe hain! Shaayad Bollywood unake sarvottam gunon ko saamane laata hai(As you can see, they're killing it! Perhaps Bollywood brings forth their best qualities.)" The selection for the following round included both new and current hits. " Ab dekhate hain ki ve nai blockustar filmon ko kitani achi tarah jaanate hain(let's see how well they know the new blockbusters.)" When Anna used a prop to imitate the well-known hook step from a recent dance performance, Dev correctly identified the film with great enthusiasm. "Perfect!Aisa lagata hai ki unhonne har Bollywood film ek saath dekhi hai(They appear to have seen every Bollywood movie together.)" Family members kept up the charades, showing off their acting prowess and Bollywood knowledge. As the game went on, it was clear that Anna and Dev's relationship went beyond their shared competitiveness. Their mutual giggles and inside jokes gave the game a further layer of appeal. The Malhotra family chose to put Anna and Divya to the test to see how well they could adapt to different locations and situations for the Adaptability Challenge. The family wished to evaluate their adaptability and capacity for handling unexpected events. "Aaj ke sangharsh ki kunji lachilaapan hai. Aapase vibhinn prakaar ke paridrshyon mein navigate karane ke liye kaha jaega, jinamen hum aapako aasaani se samajha denge. Ab chalie shuroo karate hain(The key to today's struggle is flexibility. You'll be asked to navigate through a variety of scenarios that we are going to put you in with ease. Now let's get started.)" Aarti checks her assignment. "Hum pahale pados ke baazaar ki or ja rahe hain. Paaramparik bhaarateey vyanjanon ke liye saamagri kharidana aavashyak hai. Divya, tum Masoom ke saath ho, aur Anna, aur Sunaina, tum ek team ho. Sab taiyaar(We're heading to the neighborhood market first. Buying the ingredients for traditional Indian cuisine is necessary. Divya, you're with Masoom, and Anna, and Sunaina, you're a team. All set?)" The participants gave their nods of confirmation, and the family headed out to the busy market. Divya, who can be a bit picky, eyed the ingredients cautiously. "Chalo Divya! Hamen sab kuch soochi mein laana hoga(Come on, Divya! We need to get everything on the list.)" As they made their way through the market, Anna and Sunaina appeared to be enjoying themselves, negotiating and interacting with the vendors. "Yah mujhe bhaarat k baazaaron ie yaad dilaata hai. Aisi jeevant oorja(This reminds me of the markets in India. Such vibrant energy!)" Divya, on the other hand, was a little reserved, unsure of some of the options. "Are you sure this is fresh? I prefer things from a supermarket." Masoom tried to reassure her, saying, "It's all fresh here, trust me." The task's second phase required an abrupt shift in location to a nearby dance class. "Kie vaataavaranon mein dhalane ki aapakeeishamata ka pareekshan kiya ja raha hai. Dekhen ki aap kitani jaldeeik naya dancing routine seekh sakte ha (Your ability to adapt to many environments is being tested. See how quickly you can learn a new dancing routine.)" After being matched with dance instructors, Anna and Divya were instructed in a traditional dance. "Aaie isaka anand len, Anna! Yah keval chanchal manoranjan hai(Let's enjoy this, Anna! It's only playful fun.)"With a nod, Anna accepted the challenge fully. 

Divya, however, felt a little apprehensive about it. "Nach bilkul mere bas ki baat nahi hai. Kya hamaare liye ise chodana sambhav hai(Dancing isn't exactly my thing. Is it possible for us to skip this?)" Masoom made an effort to uplift her. "Divya,jaldi karo! Har cheez chunauti ka hissa hai(hurry up! Everything is a part of the challenge.)" The Malhotra family created the Communication and Problem-Solving Challenge as a way to assess Anna and Divya's abilities to cooperate, communicate, and solve real-world challenges. Rajesh needed someone with great organizational and communication abilities, and that was the environment of his office. "Aaj ki chunauti pishevar mahaul mein prabhavi dhang se kaam karane ki aapaki kshamata ka parikshan karegi. Hum mere office mein hain, aur main aapako poora karane ke liye vishisht kaary doonga. Ab chaliye aage badhate hain(Today's challenge will test your ability to work effectively in a professional setting. We are at my office, and I will give you specific tasks to complete. Now let's get going.)" Aarti keeps an eye on them. "Yah ek bahut hi mahatvapurn chunauti hai. Isamen keval kartavya ko poora karane se kaheen adhik shaamil hai; isamen prabhavi dhang se sanchar karana bhi shaamil hai. Rajesh ko ek business partner ki jaroorat hai jo usake dahine haath ke roop mein kaam kare(This is a very important challenge. It involves more than just finishing duties; it also involves communicating effectively. Rajesh needs a business partner who will serve as his right hand.)" Office administration responsibilities, such as scheduling, responding to emails, and scheduling with clients, were assigned to the participants. They all had to show that they could communicate effectively and solve unanticipated issues. "Anna,aap vyavasaya sammelan ke antarrashtriya grahak sahayog ko sambhalne vale vyakti honge. Tum office staff ke schedule ka dhyan rakhogi, Divya. Rahasy sanvaad karana hai(you are going to be the one handling the business conference's international client cooperation. You'll take care of the office staff's schedule, Divya. The secret is to communicate)"As they got to work on their individual assignments, Anna demonstrated her gift for effective problem-solving and communication. "Mr. Malhotra,maine apane graahakon ke liye sammelan vyavastha ki rooprekha batate hue ek short email likha hai. Please ise bhejane se pahale isaki jaanch kar len(I've written a brief email outlining the conference arrangements for our clients. Please check it over before I send it out.)" Rajesh valued her proactive approach and careful attention to detail. "Bahut badhiya, Anna. Vivaran par aapaka dhyaan bilkul vahi hai jiski hamen avashyakta hai(Very good, Anna. Your attention to detail is precisely what we require.)" Although skilled, Divya encountered a small hitch when handling the staff's schedule in the meantime. "Mujhe yakeen nahi hai ki agle saptah team meeting mein kaun shamil ho payega. Yah thoda mushkil ho sakata hai(I'm not sure who will be able to make it to the team meeting the following week. It can be a little difficult.)" "Ho sakata hai ki aap sabhi ki upalabdhiya ki pushti karne ke liye unhn ek tvarit sarvekshan bhej saken(Maybe you can send out a quick survey to everyone to confirm their availability)," Masoom stated as advice. Divya overcame the challenge and successfully streamlined the schedule. "Shabaash, Divya. Pishevar setting mein ek avashyak kaushal samasya ko hal karane ki kshamta hai(Well done, Divya. A essential skill in a professional setting is the knack to solve problems.)" As the challenge went on, Rajesh was impressed by Anna's ability to manage communication and her rapid problem-solving abilities. "Aapane dikhaya hai ki aap hamaari company ki jatilataon ko prabandhit karne mein kafi kushal hain, Anna. Aapake paas utkrisht sanchar kshamata hain(You've shown yourself to be quite skilled at managing the complexities of our company, Anna. You have excellent communication abilities.)" Although Divya and Anna both showed talent, Rajesh began to see Anna as a potential asset for his office. Aarti, the mom of the family, intended to put the participants' talents to the test in a more domestic setting with the Sewing Challenge. Aware that stitching could be a useful ability for a bahu, she organized a competition to determine who could use a needle and thread skillfully. "Hum apane aagaami kaary mein adhik paramparik kshetr mein aapke kaushal ka parikshan karenge. Choonki silai ek upyogi pratibha hai, isalie ab aapki dakshata ke star ka aakalan karane ka samay aa gaya hai(We'll test your skills in a more traditional area in our upcoming task. As sewing is a useful talent, it's time to assess your level of proficiency.)" This is Ragini's area of experience. "Aaie dekhen ki kaun toofan ko sabse achi tarah se sulajha sakata hai. Isamen saadhaaran batan marammat ke saath-saath dhyan aur satikata ki aavashyakata hoti hai(Let's see who can sew up a storm best. It takes attention and accuracy along with simple button repair.)" 

Aarti gave each person a piece of fabric, a needle, and a set of buttons, instructing them to sew each button firmly onto the fabric. "Ah,yah mujhe meri jawani ki yaad dilati hai. Main isamen hamesha apani Mom ki madad karata thi(this reminds me of my youth. I used to always help my mother with this.)" Divya tackled the task with ease, demonstrating her stitching skills as she did so. "Khatm! Is button ka koi nuksan nahi hai(Finished! There is no loss of this button.)" Aarti looked over Divya's work and gave a sign of approval. "Shaandaar kaam, Divya! Aap ek pratibhashali darjin hai(Fantastic work, Divya! You are a talented seamstress.)" However, despite her enthusiasm, Anna found it difficult to thread the needle and manage the fine intricacies of sewing. "Main isamen bahut acha nahi hoon. Lekin mujhe ise azamine deejie(I'm not very good at this. But let me to try it out.)" When Anna tried to sew the button, her threads weren't smooth, and the button swayed a lot. Even with Anna's valiant efforts, it was obvious that Divya's sewing prowess exceeded the task. "Divya,aap isamen pratibhashali hain. Nishchit roop se ek upyogi kaushal.(you are talented at this. Definitely a useful skill.)" The Malhotra family decided to evaluate the competitors' cooking abilities for the Culinary Challenge. Aarti, who is a superb chef, was curious to find out who could manage the kitchen with style. Divya showed off her cooking skills in this round. "Bhojan hamaare parivaar ke sambandho ka ek mahatvapoorn ghatak hai. Aisa svaadisht bhojan kaun bana sakata hai jo hamaara dil jeet le? Chalo pata karate hain(Eating is a vital component of our family's bonding. Who can cook a tasty meal that will win our hearts? Let's find out.)" Sunaina checks her to-do list. "Dhyaan rakhen ki yah svaad se pare hai. Prastuti aur rachanatmakata bhi mahatvapurn hain(Keep in mind that it goes beyond taste. Presentation and creativity are also important.)" Access to a fully supplied kitchen with a wide range of ingredients was granted to each participant. Within a given time frame, they were to cook a dish of their choice. "Mujhe khana banana pasand hai!Bahut mazedaar hoga(I love making food! It's going to be fun.)" Divya showed off her cooking skills by selecting a complicated recipe with poise and confidence. "Khaana banana majedaar hai, lekin main Divya jitano pratibhashali nahi hoon. Mujhe dekhne do ki mere paas kya vichaar hai(It's fun to cook, but I'm not as talented as Divya. Let me see what ideas I have.)" Divya set out to create a gourmet feast, impressing everyone with her cooking skills and creative presentation, whereas Anna chose for a simpler recipe. "Main us mantr mein vishvaas karata hoon ki hum sabase pahale apani aankhon se khaate hain(I believe in the mantra that we eat with our eyes first.)" Divya's work was an aesthetically pleasing and delectable masterpiece that filled the kitchen with the aroma of their dishes. "Divya, wow! This piece of art is this." However, while delicious, Anna's meal lacked Divya's delicate touches and complex details. "Ho sakata hai ki mere paas samaan star ki visheshagya na ho, lekin maine isamen apana dil lagaaya hai(I might not have the same level of expertise, but I put my heart into it.)" The family came together to sample both dishes and enjoyed the different tastes that each person contributed. Divya won the Culinary Challenge thanks to her creative presentation and skill in the kitchen. The Malhotra mansion has a tense atmosphere. Divya ignores Anna as she walks past with a scornful frown on her face. "Usamen kya ghus gaya hai(What's gotten into her?)" Divya purposefully pours water on the floor in front of Anna, who notices this. The family members watch and feel the tension in the scene. Aarti hears Masoom whispering. "Unake beech kuch theek nahi hai(Something's not right between them.)" Aarti worries about them. "Aaie un par nazar rakhen(Let's keep an eye on them.)" Divya gives Anna a sly smile and carries on with her behavior, clearly aiming to bring Anna down. "I am sorry I slipped. Anna, be more careful." Anna, surprised and offended, tries not to lose her cool. Anna stifles her tears. "Tumhen kya pareshani hai Divya(What's your problem, Divya?)" Divya had a cunning smirk on her face. "Koi problem hai kya(Is there a problem)?" "Oh kuch nahi. Main bas moorkhata ke aasapaas nahi rehna chaahata(Oh, nothing . I just don't want to be around stupidity.)" Aarti adds a comment. "Bas bahut ho gaya Divya. Kya ho raha hai(That's enough, Divya. What is happening?)" Divya acts rudely. "Mummy,kuch bho nahi. Bas Anna ko yah batana ki jab vah anaadi hoti hai to kya hota hai(nothing at all. Just letting Anna know what happens when she is clumsy.)" 

Anna musters her strength. "Mujhe nahi pata ki maine isake laayak kya kiya hai, lekin main aapaka durvyavahaar bardaasht nahi karoonga(I don't know what I've done to deserve this, but I won't tolerate your mistreatment.)" The family members look at each other worriedly. Aarti moves to the center to mediate. "Divya,yah vyavahara sveekaary nahi hai. Ek parivaar ke roop mein, hum ek-doosare ka sammaan karate hain. Aaie is baare mein vinamr baatacheet karen(this behavior is not acceptable. As a family, we show respect to one another. Let's have a polite conversation about this.)" Divya's persistently harsh actions towards Anna have caused the tension in the Malhotra mansion to increase. The family gets together in the living room to watch to find the competition's winner. "Ab nirnay lene ki jaroorat hai. Divya aur Anna dono ne baadhaon ko paar kiya hai aur apni takat sabit ki hai. Masoom aur main ab chayan karenge ki chuna hua kaun hai(A decision needs to be made now. Both Divya and Anna have overcome obstacles and proven their strengths. Masoom and I shall now select who is the chosen one.)" Masoom, who has been taken aback by what she has seen, participates with Aarti in making decisions. "Yah ek kathin vikalp hai, lekin isamen kai kaarakon par vichaar karana hoga. Unamen se pratyek ke apane vishesh gun hain(It's a difficult choice, but there are a lot of factors to take into consideration. Each of them has their own special qualities.)" There is a hush as Masoom and Aarti exchange profound looks. The announcement is eagerly awaited by the family members. "Divya,main eemaanadaari se aapki paak kala kaushal aur baarikiyon par saavadhaanipoorvak dhyaan dene ki prashansa karata hoon. Hamen vah sundarta pasand hai jo aapane hamaari rasoi mein jodi hai(I sincerely admire your culinary prowess and careful attention to detail. We love the elegance that you've added to our kitchen.)" Divya nods while keeping her composure. "Aur anna, tumane apani dayaluta aur imandari se kai dil jeete hain. Hum apanee jeevan shaili ke saath taalamel bithaane ke aapake prayaason ke baare mein jaanate hain(And Anna, you have won many hearts with your kindness and genuineness. We know about your efforts to adjust to our way of life.)" Anna grinned, appreciative of the recognition.Lekin hamane haal hi mein vyavahaar mein ek chintaajanak badalaav bhi dekha hai. Sammaan avashyak hai, aur yah prabhaavit karata hai ki hum ek doosare ke saath kaisa vyavahaar karate hain(But we've also noticed a worrisome shift in behavior lately. Respect is essential, and it affects how we treat one other.)" Masoom inhales deeply. The family members bend forward, curious about the result. "Pratiyogita ka vijeta hai... The winner of the competition is...)" Aarti stares at Masoom and her tone abruptly shifts as she considers their choice. "Divya." There are conflicting feelings in the room after the announcement. Divya looks victorious, and Anna tries not to show how disappointed she is. Aarti and Masoom share a knowing look that suggests their choice was not an easy one. "Congratulations, Divya.Hamaare parivaar mein aapaka ek mahatvapoorn hissa hoga(You'll have an important part in our family.)" Masoom glances at Anna. "Anna,hum aapki upasthiti aur kadi mehanat ko hamesha yaad rakhenge. Hamen aasha hai ki aap samajh sakate hain ki is chunaav mein kuchh kaarak shaamil the(we will always remember your presence and hard work. We hope you can understand that some factors went into this choice.)"
