Ranveer comes down by stairs and at same time Pratha was coming holding a colour plate.

Ranveer was not looking at her and by mistakly both bumps into each-other and all the colour comes on their clothes.
Both: sorry sorry
Pratha: lagta hai aaj mujhe aap se rang lagna tha
Ranveer: aur mujhe bhi anyways happy holi
Pratha: happy holi

All the other family members were playing Holi.
Ranveer was standing aside. When Pratha comes there.
Pratha: aap holi kyu nhi khel rahe
Ranveer: woh mujhe na apna stylish face kharab nhi karna
Pratha looks at him.
Ranveer: okayy mujhe holi khelna pasand nhi hai reasons hai!!! Par tum kyu nhi khel rahi
Pratha: mujhe bhi nhi pasand holi khelna
Khushi comes there with colour in her hand.
Khushi: bhaiya bhabhi(🤭🤭) aap dono kya side main Khade hoo and bhabhi aapne mujhse colour nhi lagaya
And she forwards to colour her but Pratha hides behind Ranveer.
Pratha: nhii khushi mujhe holi nhi pasand
Khushi: bhabhi thodha sa toh laga lo
Pratha: nhii please
Ranveer: aree khushi rehne de na
Khushi: toh aap laga loo
And she's colours his face and runs away.
Colour goes into Ranveer's eyes.
Ranveer: ouch (he hisses in pain)
Pratha: kya hua
She looks him rubbing his eyes.
Pratha: aree rub mat kijiye she holds her saree pallu and starts cleaning his eyes.
She blows air on his eyes and rubs his eyes by the pallu.
Ranveer was staring at her.
She then steps back.
Pratha: ab theek haina
Ranveer nods.
Ranveer: haa thankyou
Pratha smiles at him and then turns to go back but stops.
Her pallu was stuck in his hand watch.
Ranveer: lagta hai yeah pallu bhi mujhse se dur nhi jana chahta
Pratha: par mujhe toh jana hoga na gharwalo ke liye khana pina bhi dekhna hai
And she starts taking out her pallu when she looks at the tatto on his wrist.
she takes out her pallu and walks from there.
Ranveer: kuch toh baat hai Pratha tume
But he stops smiling
Ranveer: yeah kya bol raha hoon main (and then he smirks) shesh naagin waise Tum ho toh bohat aachi par tumhe pareshan karne main maza aayega
He goes to corner and takes two thandai and adds something in one.
He then sees Pratha arranging a food on tables and goes to her.
Ranveer: Pratha
She turns
Pratha: aapko sach main meri jaan leni haina har bar dara dete hai

Ranveer:(in mind) piyo pratha piyo
Pratha drinks it all.
Pratha: pii liya ab khush ab karli main aapna kaam
And she again starts arranging.
