Zindagi Gulzar Hai

Episode 9

Ajit's bedroom, Sippy Mansion

The episode starts with Sonakshi getting a shock of her life after listening to Ajit's decision. She stammers while asking him, "What did you just say Ajit?" Ajit closes his eyes and tells, "You heard it right, Bhabhi! I am ready to marry Tanya bha..." He stops as he realises that Tanya will not be his Bhabhi anymore and continues, "...I am alright with Dad's decision regarding my marriage" Sonakshi unable to digest his words asks him, "Ajit, have you gone out of your mind? Do you even know what are you saying?" Ajit replies raising his voice, "Yes, I know and I have decided to agree to Papa's decision in my right mind!" Sonakshi asks him, "But what is the reason that you have decided so, Ajit?" Ajit gets looking on.

Suman takes Pari aside and questions her, "Pari, what are you doing? Why have you agreed with Rohan to stay here in this dungeon?" Pari looks back at Rohan and checks that he is not overhearing and then continues with Suman, "Mom, I know it is pathetic to stay in such a nasty place when I'm the wife of one of the sons from the multi-millionaire Sippy family! But, what else to do? I have no other choice! Rohan's mother Mrs. Veena Sippy has chucked both of us out of Sippy Mansion and also strictly warned not to enter that house once again! I can't believe that Tanya is getting all my rights, my money and my status even though she is only the EX-WIFE of Rohan Sippy!" Suman bangs her forehead and says, "Pari, Tanya is getting all that which you should get only because she is the going to be the mother of Rohan's child, one of the heirs of the Sippys! And that is what you should also do to get into the Sippy mansion!" Pari quizzically demands her mother, "Do what Mom?" Suman taps on her head and says, "Mrs. Pari Rohan Sippy, you too have to become the mother of Rohan's child!" Pari is amazed at that suggestion and gives out a malicious smile. Suman continues, "Good that you have understood what I have advised and if you succeed, you will surely enter the Sippy Mansion soon! However, I wonder what is happening there now?"

Sonakshi snaps at Ajit breaking him from his thoughts and questions, "Ajit, I asked you something for which you have not answered yet! What made you take such a decision?" Ajit reminisces Naren's words of calling him an IRRESPONSIBLE SPOILT BRAT and accusing Sonakshi for being responsible for whatever is happening. He takes a deep long breath and utters, "Bhabhi, I want to prove myself and also remove all the accusations which Dad has put upon you!" Sonakshi is muddled and asks, "Prove yourself? But how can you do that by marrying Tanya? And how you can save me from all the accusations by sacrificing your own livelihood? Ajit, I'm THE ONE doing the role of Parvati in KPK, but it seems to me that you are behaving like Parvati!" Ajit replies, "Bhabhi I want to prove myself to be a responsible individual by taking Tanya and her child's responsibility and regarding you, you will understand what I am saying when I reveal my decision to everyone!" Sonakshi still unconvinced asks him, "I still don't get it Ajit, that how are you going to help me, but regarding Tanya are you sure that you want to take her and her child's responsibility? Remember, that she is your brother's divorcee and the would-be mother of his child!" Ajit tells her, "This is the problem with our society Bhabhi, a divorcee man with a child can marry any woman he wants even if the woman is unmarried but when it comes to a woman, she is often asked to remain alone after her divorce or get married to another divorcee or widower!" Then, he holds Sonakshi's hand and says, "Bhabhi as I said earlier, I am in my full right mind in this decision to get married to Tanya, I have no issues of her being a divorcee of a man who hardly ever cared about her or his unborn child and I will try my best to give Tanya all the happiness which Rohan could never give her!" Sonakshi is astounded to hear his words and states with a smile, "Papa was wrong about you Ajit, you really are a responsible man! But, Ajit will Tanya agree to get married to you?" Ajit looks on and says, "Bhabhi, could you just arrange me some time where I can talk with her?" Sonakshi looks on.

Scene shifts to Tanya and Rohan's room

Tanya is lying on her bed and weeping bitterly. Veena is seated right beside her trying to console her. Tanya asks in a dejected tone, "Why Ma? Why is that my life's decisions are always taken by others? My Papa decided my marriage with Rohan. Rohan decided that he does not want to continue his life with me and now Naren Papa has decided that I should marry Ajit, why such things come up only in my life?" Veena tries consoling her, "Tanya please stop crying! If you continue crying in this manner, then, you will fall sick! You narrowly escaped, last time! Please stop crying Tanya otherwise it could be very harmful for your child!" Just then Sonakshi comes there and tells Veena, "Mamma, let me handle Tanya for some time!" Veena being tired,agrees and informs Sonakshi, "Please take care of Tanya, she just came out of a shock, which would have harmed her child! Don't bring in any matter which would deteriorate her health!" Sonakshi nods. Soon, Veena leaves from there. Once, she is out of sight, Sonakshi looks around and signs Ajit to enter. As he comes inside, Tanya gets surprised seeing him. Sonakshi informs Ajit whatever Veena just told her and asks him to be very careful. Ajit nods. He then inches close to Tanya and utters, "Tanya, I beg you, please don't panic and hurt yourself or your child, because I'm going to say something which might shock you!" Tanya wipes her tears and asks, "I've already faced so many storms in my life and have become strong enough to face more, tell me Ajit, what is it?" Ajit pauses his breath and asks, "WILL YOU MARRY ME, TANYA?" Tanya's eyes grow big in amazement.
