The story begins with Aakash's cousin Nandakishore arriving in Delhi for his wedding with Payal. The story will be different and not according to the show. 



Shantivan was in a big mayhem this morning, everyone was rushing around after breakfast to complete the huge amount of preparations for the upcoming wedding of the youngest Raizada. Meanwhile, Manorama (Aakash's mother) was coming down the stairs with full makeup and dressed for outing with the sunglasses on. It was everyday occurrence for Mami Ji to dress up yet today her whole demeanor had change which made the residence of Shantivan stood dumfounded at her as they stared on. 

Anjali asked, " Wow mami, a new sari and full make-up. Is mama taking you somewhere?"

Mamiji smiles shaking her head. "Hello hi bye bye... Anjali bitiya,  did you forget what date and day is today?"

Anjali thought for a moment. Today is thursday. Was anything arranged for today? 

Then she remembered. "Hai baghwan..... I completely forgot about today!"

"Haan...today from Sydney our bitwaa is coming after a long time", said Manorama becoming dramatic and emotinal. Anajali shakes her head seeing mamiji's antics. 

Arnav and Aakash were coming down the stairs talking about work when Anjali called him. 

"Chhote? Are you leaving now?", she asked.

"Yes, di. We have a very important meeting set up today. Akash and I will be late coming home today so don't wait for us." Arnav looked around and saw mami and mamji arguing about Australia and about some helicopter sound. He turned around to Aakash. "What date is today?", he asked. Aakash remembered. "Oh Shit!". Arnav nodded his head. 

"Come on, lets go before we get caught up in the drama. I have already advised the driver beforehand about today. Mohan will be picking him up from the airport so lets get out of here.", said Arnav. As they approached the door, it opened to reveal a young man with a charming smile dragging his suitcase behind him. 

Mamiji rushed towards him and hugged him. "Hello hi bye bye bitwaa. How have you been? Why are you looking so thin?," she asked caressing his face. 

"I am well mausi. In fact i have been so excited to get the full Indian wedding experience that i could hardly sit. Finding my way to this house is quite difficult i tell you. First, all doors looked the same to me. Anyways, my name might be Nandakishore but call me NK okay?"

Nk recieve the elders' blessings. " Dadi, how are you?"

" I am fine beta. Are your parents in good health? I hope they would visit us more," said Arnav's nani. NK assured that they will be coming for the wedding and they are in perfect health. 

Meanwhile Arnav and Aakash tried unsuccessfully to sneak out when NK saw them. 

"Hey Aakash mere bhai, how is the blushing groom?," he teased. Aakash couldn't help but crack a smile at the reminder of his upcoming nuptial. 

"Nanav!," he called Arnav and hugs him. "Its been so long. How are you? I am so sorry for your tutta huya rishta." Everyone cringed at the reminder of the most dreaded nickname of Arnav, named only by the NK since they were young.

Arnav rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Nk? You just got back, so rest for a while and spend some time with the family catching up. We have to go for a very important meeting so we will catch up tommorow.", he said prying away NK's hands from him. Nk nodded his head smiling, unaware of Arnav's irritation.

Arnav and Aakash left for the office.
