I always cast Sana and Adrija opposite Paras in my KDB ffs.So here for a change I am casting Sayli Salunkhe opposite Paras as I liked their chemistry in the music video Raataan kaali.

An engagement function....

Raghav Jindal and Siya exchanged rings.

Raghav's Dadi Daya blessed them.

Daya:Be happy always.

Raghav and Siya smiled.

Raghav and Siya danced together.

Doodh ubaaloge
Doodh ubaloge to jhaag lagegi
Aur jo saawan mein aise naachogi
Toh aag lagegi
Aag lagegi, aag lagegi

Haaye patakha main
Bam ka dhamaaka main
Nazrein karaari meri
Dil pe daalu daaka main

Oye hoye hoye

Sau aage, do sau peeche
Chhup chhup ke photo khiche
Dekhu jo main palat ke
Inpe bijli gir jaaye re

Social media pe charche bade hai
Bacche kya buddhe mere peechhe pade hai

Ho sawan mein lag gayi aag
Ke dil mera haaye
Sawan mein lag gayi aag
Ke dil mera haaye

Ho sun ae haseena
Paagal deewani
Aaj na soya saari
Aaj na soya saari
Aaja na soya saari raat
Ke dil mera haaye
Sawan mein lag gayi aag
Ke dil mera haaye

Tujhko dekha jabda mera
Floor par jaa gira
Dilli mein tune thuma lagaya
Shake ho gaya agra

Mujhse jo tu milne aayi
Colony mein baat phail gayi
Laal dress jo daal ke nikli
Gudgawan tak aag phail gayi

Ek bhi launda na chhodna tu
Tune kasam si kha rakhi hai
Ladkon ki life pe poori
Pakad bana rakkhi hai

Tiktok pe duniya tune
Peechhe laga rakkhi hai
Kasar na choddi tune koyi
Bhasad macha rakkhi hai rani
Bhasad macha rakkhi hai

Ho gajra laga ke aayi
Kesh mein haye, kesh mein
Aashiq hai jaane kitne
Race mein haaye race mein

Gajra lagake aayi
Kesh mein haaye, kesh mein
Aashiq hai jane kitne
Race mein haye race mein

Jaana hai kis pardesh mein
Haaye desh mein
Teri jawaani jaise chalta heater hai
Jal na jaaye koyi mujhko fikar hai

Ho na jaaye koyi
Ho na jaaye koyi
Ho na jaaye gandi baat
Dil mera haaye
Ho sawan mein lag gayi aag
Ke dil mera haaye

Sunn ae kameene
Paagal deewane
Sunn oh kameene
Paagal deewane

Sone na dungi saari
Sone na dungi saari
Sone na dungi saari raat
Ke dil mera haaye

Sawan mein lag gayi aag
Dil mera haaye
Ho sawan mein lag gayi aag
Ke dil mera haaye
Sawan mein lag gayi aag
Ke dil mera haaye(Ginny Weds Sunny).

Siya:Raghav,ours is arranged marriage.We still need to know each other.May I know why you did not get married yet?

Raghav:All are asking why I am marrying only in my middle age.Actually my childhood was very tough.Really faced a lot of financial issues.So my only aim was financial security.I could not think of falling in love or getting married.After a point of time,I could achieve what I wanted.But by that time I had lost interest to get married.But now dadi is really old.So she wants me to get married before anything happens to her.

Siya:Emotional blackmailing?

Raghav:Ya...a kind of.I agreed to get married only for her.Because she is the one who brought me up after I lost my parents.But when I met you,I felt that you are the right one for me.

Siya smiled happily.

Raghav:Even you are having late marriage.Why?

Siya:My love and passion was dance.I was busy with my dance schools.So I was not interested to get married.I thought that marriage will be a hindrance in my path of dance.And no man supported me to pursue my dance career.But now I feel that I need someone to share my life with.Then when your mother brought the marriage proposal...when I met you...when you told me that you will not interfere in my career,I became very happy that I chose the right person as my life partner.

Raghav smiled:I will always support you.

Siya smiled.

Siya:All maybe laughing seeing 2 middle aged people getting married.

They both laughed.

Siya's student Chandni who is Raghav's neighbour went towards them and said:Nobody is going to tease you both.Because both of you are still looking young.Made for each other jodi.

Raghav and Siya smiled.

A young boy entered the Jindal house.

Raghav:Who are you?How can a stranger enter a house like that?

He:I am sorry.

Daya:Raghav,don't scold him.Let him say why he is here.Beta...who are you?

He:I am Rajveer Arora.Preeta Arora's son.

Raghav:Who is Preeta Arora?

Rajveer:My mother.

Raghav:I know that.But we don't know your mother.Then why are you here?

Rajveer became upset.

Rajveer:I am from Mumbai.I came here to see you.I have been told that you are my father.

Daya and Raghav were shocked.

Raghav:What are you saying?I am not your father.

Rajveer was sad.

Rajveer:But I have been told that you are my father.

Raghav:Call your mother here.Let her say this looking at my face.

Rajveer said painfully:Last month she passed away due to cancer.I am all alone.That's why I came in search of my father.

Daya and Raghav felt sad for him.

Raghav:You have mistaken me for your father.I am not your father.

Rajveer:You are...

Raghav:Nonsense!What proof do you have?

Rajveer took a photograph from his bag and showed him:This photograph was in my mother's cupboard.

It was Raghav's photograph from his younger days.

Raghav and Daya were shocked.

Raghav:I don't know how your mother got my photograph.I have no connection with your mother.So you better leave from here.

Rajveer was hurt by Raghav's rude tone and gesture.

Daya:Wait!

Daya grabbed Raghav's hand and took him to the room.

Daya:Raghav,25 years back you were in Mumbai.Rajveer is from Mumbai.He has your photograph which was taken 25 years back.Connect the dots now.

Raghav:Dadi,just because I was there in Mumbai,that does not mean that he is my son.

Daya:Maybe.But till recent times you refused to get married.Is it because of Preeta Arora?

Raghav:If there was Preeta in my life why would I have remained unmarried all these years?I would have married her.Right?

Daya:Rajveer seems to be a poor boy.He is an orphan too.Don't send him back soon.He came to our house.We should not send him back by hurting him.

Raghav:But dadi...

Daya:Till the truth gets proved,let him stay here.

Raghav was shocked:Dadi!You need proof to know the truth.You don't trust me?

Daya:I trust you.But the truth has to get proved before Rajveer.Right?

Raghav was silent.

Daya went near Rajveer and said:You don't go back.You stay here.

Rajveer:Thank you badi dadi.

Daya got touched when he called her 'badi dadi'.

Daya served food to Rajveer.

Rajveer was eating rice.

Rajveer:Your dal curry is very tasty badi dadi.

Daya smiled:Shall I pour some chana curry too?

Rajveer:No thanks badi dadi.I like Dal and rice combination more.

Daya was surprised.

She thought:Raghav also prefers rice and dal combination.

Siya came to the Jindal house.

Suddenly she saw Rajveer there.

Siya:Who is this boy?He was not seen here during the engagement.

Rajveer:I am Raghav Jindal's son.

Siya was shocked.
