INT. ARADHYA'S PARENTS' HOUSE – MOMENTS LATER
Aradhya and her friends step into the cozy living room, where family photos adorn the walls.
Aradhya's parents, MR. AND MRS. MEHRA, greet them warmly but with a hint of seriousness.
MRS. MEHRA(smiling, but with an undertone)
"Welcome! It's so nice to see you all. Come in and make yourselves at home." 😊
MR. MEHRA(glancing at Tanishq)
"Make sure to keep the noise down, okay? We have neighbors."
The friends exchange glances, sensing a tension in the air.
INT. LIVING ROOM – LATER
As they settle into the living room, the friends engage in casual conversation with Aradhya's parents, but there's an awkwardness in the air.
SHREYA(trying to break the ice)
"It's wonderful to finally meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Mehra! Aradhya always speaks highly of you."
MRS. MEHRA(nodding, but her smile doesn't reach her eyes)
"Well, we hope she's making good choices. College can be a tricky time."
MR. MEHRA(leaning in, looking at Tanishq)
"So, what are your plans after college? Do you have any serious aspirations?"
TANISHQ(confidently)
"I'm thinking of pursuing a career in sports management. I want to help organize events in that field." 🎉
MR. MEHRA(raising an eyebrow)
"Sports management, huh? Interesting. Just make sure it's not a distraction from your studies."Tanishq nods, feeling the pressure of their scrutiny.
INT. KITCHEN – MOMENTS LATER
As they prepare snacks in the kitchen, Aradhya's mom pulls her aside, her tone serious.
MRS. MEHRA(whispering)
"Are you sure about Tanishq? He seems nice, but I hope you're not getting too serious too quickly."
Aradhya hesitates, feeling defensive.
ARADHYA(firmly)
"Mom, I really like him. He supports me, and I believe in his dreams."
MRS. MEHRA(sighing)
"I just worry about who you surround yourself with. You deserve someone who will uplift you." 😟INT. DINING ROOM – DINNER TIME
The friends gather around the dining table, enjoying a delicious meal prepared by Aradhya's mom. The table is filled with a variety of dishes, and the smell is mouth-watering.
TANISHQ(grinning)"This biryani is amazing! You have to share the recipe with us!"
MRS. MEHRA(coolly)"Only if you promise to come over more often and help with chores. It's important to be responsible."
The mood shifts slightly, and Tanishq smiles awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.
INT. LIVING ROOM – AFTER DINNER
As they move back to the living room, the friends help clean up while Aradhya's parents chat with them, their expressions serious.
ARADHYA(looking at Tanishq)(whispers)
"Are you ready for this?"
TANISHQ(nervously)
"I guess? Your parents seem... intense." 😳
Suddenly, Mr. Mehra stands up, his expression serious.
MR. MEHRA(looking at Tanishq and Aradhya)
"Before we continue, we need to talk."
Aradhya's heart races, sensing the gravity of the moment.
MRS. MEHRA(with a serious tone)
"We've noticed you two together, and while we appreciate friendship, we're concerned about your choices. We want to know where this is heading."
Tanishq looks at Aradhya, confusion etched on his face.
TANISHQ(trying to sound confident)
"I really care about Aradhya and want to respect your family."
MR. MEHRA(nodding, but still skeptical)
"We hope you understand the importance of focusing on your studies and future first. Relationships can be a distraction."
Aradhya feels a knot forming in her stomach.
ARADHYA(gathering courage)
"I wanted to tell you something important... about Tanishq." 😬
Just then, Mrs. Mehra interjects, trying to maintain a serious facade.
MRS. MEHRA(with a serious tone)
"Before you go on, we need to express our concerns. Tanishq, we want to ensure you're a good influence on Aradhya."
Tanishq's expression falters, and he looks genuinely worried.
TANISHQ(a bit anxious)
"I promise, I care about her deeply." ❤️
MR. MEHRA(leaning forward)
"We've been observing your relationship closely, and we may have pulled a little prank to gauge your seriousness."
Aradhya's heart pounds as she realizes the seriousness of the moment.
MRS. MEHRA(finally breaking into a smile)
"We just wanted to see how you both would react under pressure."
Tanishq exhales in relief, and Aradhya laughs, the tension easing.
ARADHYA(lightly)
"Well, that was a little nerve-wracking! I wanted to tell you earlier, but I didn't know how you'd react."TANISHQ(relieved)
"You had me worried for a second! But I'm glad you're okay with this." ❤️
INT. LIVING ROOM – MOMENTS LATER
As the realization of the prank sinks in, the atmosphere shifts from tense to joyful. Everyone bursts into laughter, the relief palpable.
RAJEEV(clapping his hands)
"Wow! You got us good! That was intense!" 😂
SHREYA(joining in the applause)
"Seriously! I thought we were going to have to intervene!"
MRS. MEHRA(smiling warmly)
"We just wanted to see how serious you both are. And clearly, you two are meant to be together." 😊
MR. MEHRA(chuckling)
"Welcome to the family, Tanishq. Just remember, we keep a close watch on our daughter!"Tanishq grins, finally feeling accepted.
TANISHQ(relieved, smiling at Aradhya)
"Thanks for putting me through the wringer! But I'm glad it's all in good fun." ❤️Aradhya beams, her heart swelling with happiness.

MRS. MEHRA(teasingly)
"Now, about that sports management career... Are you sure you're not just after our daughter's cooking skills?"
Everyone laughs, including Tanishq.
TANISHQ(playfully)
"I promise, it's all about the future!" 🏆

"Just wait until you try her mom's desserts, Tanishq. You'll be hooked!" 🍰
