After haldi ceremony, now it was time for their mehendi and sangeet ceremony. They decided to merge the ceremony and celebrate it together. So now advika and viraj were sitting adjacent to each other while advika was busy talking to her cousins about how her mehendi should come out dark or else it will break her heart, her soon-to-be husband was staring at her. He was dying to see his name on her hands but lovestruck him couldn't even wait for her mehendi to complete and dry.

Advika was adorned in an olive green sharara while her long brown hair were in a fancy braid which had flowers stuck on it. She especially asked her makeup artist to include flowers specifically pink roses and baby breath in her hairstyles. Just because it was something her soon-to-be husband had liking towards. She was looking so gorgeous.

She asked her mehendi artist to fill her hands heavily. She loved mehendi, she made sure that she applied it at every occasion whether it was a wedding or festival. She also loved it smell so occasionally she kept bringing her hand close to her face to breathe in the amazing smell of mehendi. It made her happy.

Soon, both of their mehendi was done. Now it was time for sangeet.
Advika and viraj's friends prepared dance performance for today in the handful of time they had.
Now, advika and viraj were sitting close together.

The performers took their place and song played.

Gal mitthi mitthi bol, Bajne de taashe dhol..

(Tell me sweet things, let the drums play)

Gal mitthi mitthi bol, ras kaano vich ghol
Bajne de taashe dhol, masti mein tu vi dol
Mann de naina tu khol
Chahat ke moti rol
Dil hunda ae anmol, ke daulat se na tol
Aa sohni tenu chaand ki main choodi pehrawa
Mainu kar de ishaara te main doli lai aanwa

(Tell me sweet things, disslove sweetness in my ears
let the drums play, you to dance in madness
open the eyes of heart
roll the pearls of love
Heart is priceless, don't compare it with money
Come o love, I'll make you wear the bangles of the moon
Just indicate me and I'll get a doli to marry you)..

The song changed, positions changed.

Ho akkhan de katore, surma batore In (the bowl of your eyes there is collyrium)
Lagde chichore bade hi-fi
(Even the rowdies seem hi-fi)
Dil pe daraati, saade chal jaati
(On my heart the dagger passes through)
Maare dil gulati pooche why why
(My heart is jumping around and asking why)

Again, the song changed.

Tumhe jo maine dekha
(When I saw you)
Tumhe jo maine jaana
(When I understood you)
Tumhe jo maine dekha
( When I saw you)
Tumhe jo maine jaana
(When I understood you)
Jo hosh tha woh toh gaya
( Whatever sense I had, that has gone)
Badan ki yeh khushboo
( The fragrance of your body)
Jagane lagi jaadu
(Is awakening some magic)
Toh hoke beqabu dil kho gaya
( My heart went restless and lost control)
Tumhe jo maine socha
( When I thought about you)
Tumhe jo maine maana
(When I believed in you)
Tumhe jo maine dekha
(When I saw you)
Tumhe jo maine jaana
(When I understood you)
Jo hosh tha woh toh gaya
( Whatever sense I had, that has gone)

The performance ended and everyone clapped. Advika was smiling hard and on the other hand viraj was sitting there all surprised because he didn't knew that his friends could dance this well.
