[NOTE: There is a flashback sequence going on during the song which is also a flashback... so basically it is a flashback in a flashback.]





GUPTA HAVELI, DELHI – 09:30 P.M.




The Gupta family were happily chatting with Mr. Om Mathur and Mrs. Anita Mathur, Aman Mathur's parents as they all settled down in living room after hearty dinner, now to have desserts. They all sat down with their own bowl of sweets on the couches in one was Sashi with Garima and Nani besides him. On the opposite couch sat Om along with his wife Anita and son Aman while Lavanya and Anjali sat side by side on a loveseat as the adults continued with their talks about fixing the marriage date. Om says: "Sashiji it has been months now that Aman and Anjali have gotten engaged, I think now it is high time to get them married... what do you think...?" smilingly glanced at the said couple who blushed sitting in their place.




Others too smiled at them and Sashi nodded: "Yes you are correct, even I think it is high time that they get married now... Now you talked to Panditji or should we talk to our family Pandit for auspicious date...?" asked politely.




Anita replies: "Bhai Saheb we talked to our family Pandit and he has given us few dates and the best one we feel is 26 of next month. That should give us enough time to arrange everything otherwise there were no dates for another six months after that and we don't want to wait that long. What you all think...?" eating a spoonful of her dessert after asking.




Sashi looked at his wife and mother-in-law as they nodded, he turned to Mathur's, said: "Well we too have no objections, so wedding is on 26 of next month and the pre-wedding rituals will start a week prior, from 20... that should be enough. Aap logo ko koi aitraaz toh nahi...?" putting forward his suggestion.




They all agreed happily and everyone congratulated each other as Aman and Anjali exchanged loving smiles and did gesture-silent talks to express how excited they were at the prospect of getting married finally. The conversation shifted to wedding arrangements and guest list while Aman and even usually bold Anjali seemed shy, as they both gave their opinions and Lavanya teased them. In conversation Anita says: "I heard from Aman that full Raizada family is here in India, so are you also going to send invitation from your family side Sashiji...? Because one invitation from our side will be going to their family as Mr. Manav Singh Raizada are Omji's business associates and Ahlawat family will also be invited from our side." making the Gupta family go silent with her question.




Sashi replied: "Yes we'll also be sending them invitation from our side also as you know the joint venture we are doing with their company, so everyone here from their team is going to get invited from our side." trying to sound as normal as possible.
