"Aapne itna sab kuchh bataaya uska baare me par naam nahi bataaya... waise naam kya hai uska" asked Anirudh.

Shubhra maa was about to say when saudamini interrupt her. "Tumhe kyu janana hai uska naam" asked Saudamini while getting jealous.

"Kyuki mera man hai janane ka" said Anirudh saracrestically. Although they loved each other. Anirudh loved her (a mere attraction) but she loved his wealth and pretended as she loved him. He love her but sometime he got fraustrated and irritated by her unusual tantrums.

"Maa inka to chalta rahega ek jalegi dusra jaayega aap bataao na kya naam hai unka" som said curiously.

"Bondita naam hai uska" said Shubhra maa.
