Chaand Chhupa Baadal Mein 24th November 2010 Written Update

The episode starts with Chanchal insulting our heroine saying that Viren hasn’t even been here a day after getting married, and already he’s gone, leaving her here.
Yashodhara says that guests are coming, so Chanchal shouldn’t be doing all this… Chanchal looks at her mother-in-law in shock (it’s like, “OMG, Maa.. you’re defending her? As if, I thought you hated her as much as I did).

Viren’s mother then says that Nivi doesn’t deserve to be seen among the guests… the bad luck she is. She drags Nivi up the stairs, ignoring Vandana’s cries. (Poor Vandana, if only you had been Viren’s mother. I reckon things would have been so much better)

Chanchal pushes Nivi into a room, and tells her to lock it from the inside. If anyone should see & recognise her, then there will be no greater punishment than from Her Highness. She walks away, leaving our heroine in tears. (Okay, the room is pretty nicely decorated. Kudos to the set designers. LOL.)

In SidYa’s room… Divya is getting ready for the Muh Dekhai tradition (for all the the non-Indians.. it’s like a bride viewing for the groom’s side.. all those people who haven’t seen the bride yet). Her friends are teasing her about Sid, when he rocks up, stands outside his door, and says “Excuse me” like a gora-wannabe. (LOL. I know, I’m being mean. But he pisses me off, coward kahin ka)

He wants to get a file out of his cupboard, so he comes in.. and Divya’s friends wonder if Sid wanted the file, or to see his bride. Divya notices the glumness (and slight anger) in his face, and tells her mates to back off. The friends turn around and say that they were teasing him, but she got offended – so much love b/w bride & groom. Sid walks off, leaving Divya distraught.

Back in the pretty room (which is her & Viren’s room), Nivi is remembering how her Dadi said there was no more space for her in their house & how Yash gave her Dadi’s present saying to see it as a blessing of some sort. Someone knocks insistently on the door, and Nivi quickly wipes her tears, and opens the door. At first she’s shocked, but then she smiles in relief. (Could it be?)

Downstairs, guests are arriving for the MD tradition. Yashodhara Ma (*rolls eyes*) says that the rasam can be started now. Women start complimenting Divya, and one says that with such a pretty bride, their house will be more respected. Yashodhara Ma & Her Highness look at each other, silently groaning… when they look up.

It’s Super Vandana to the rescue!! She’s brought Nivi down for the MD tradition. (& why the hell not, she’s a bride as well.. and she’s also a pretty bride. LOL.) YM & HH are in complete shock. & the guests are looking pretty damn confused.

One of the guests starts up, and asks what’s going on. Super Vandana says that they wanted to tell everyone that there are two daughter-in-laws, and that Nivedita should be given the same amount of rights. (Gosh, the amount of hatred etched on HH’s face is hard to ignore. FM!)

The guest recognises Nivi as Keshav’s daughter.. and asks YM why there was an invite for only one MD.. but both brides are sitting there. YM says to ignore all that, and to continue the rasam. SV sits Nivi down and reassures her that she’ll be back with the kajal box. Chanchal follows her.

SV meets HH in the hallway. & the showdown begins. HH says that she purposely hid Nivi from all the guests, but SV just had to bring her out. WHY?

SV says that she’s never seen any difference b/w Sid & Viren… Viren is her son, and in front of God, he got married to Nivi. She is now the daughter-in-law of this house, and as their duty, they must accept it.

HH counters and says that if Viren accepted her as his wife, he would be supporting her right now… instead of leaving halfway through the night. If SV really sees Viren as her son, why doesn’t she see that Nivi will make Viren’s life hell. (Umm Chanchal, I hate to burst your bubble. But the only devil-like creature here is… you!) Why is SV doing all this – why is she letting the family’s name being ruined? Why is she letting that middle-class girl into their family?

(I love this bit.) SV turns around and says that she doesn’t give a damn about rich-poor.. she sees the good & bad deeds people commit. & as for that fake reputation and respect the Sood family hides behind, SV doesn’t care for it now, nor did she when she was mistreated by the family. (You go Super Vandana!) SV will not let Nivi be mistreated as SV was. Nivi is the daughter-in-law of this family, and no matter who it is… they will be given respect and love for being part of this family. & SV will make sure this right is given to them. She walks away.

Back in the formal area, one guest questions if the second daughter-in-law is the wife of the younger grandson. (You betcha. Definitely the better looking one as well.) SV walks back in, and our heroine is still cowering in fear as if someone’s gonna start a shootout or something. SV does the Kajal Nazar rasam (I didn’t know what to bloody call it. LMAO.) and the talkative guest says that they should do Nivi’s MD as well.

(Okay, Nivi is looking beyond STUNNING. Side hair partings look way too good on her.) The guest opens her dupatta, and then basically insults Nivi. (Teri toh!!) HH is maha pissed off. (Oh, get over yourself. I see HH & SV as Divya & Nivi.. we should have a flashback sequence of their weddings.) The guest says that a lot of questions are going to be asked now. SV says that questions are always going to be asked. The guest sits down in a huff. (Serves her right, blah!)

Just then, another guest makes her entrance telling the servant not to drop the gift (damn, it’s a HUGE box). She comes in and says she hopes she’s not late. She says she got sidetracked by Mrs. Chadda’s in-law’s niece’s sister’s wedding. Finally she notices the brides, and says there’s two daughter-in-laws (no s*** Sherlock!). The other guest says that one’s Sid’s and the other’s Viren’s.

The guest then says Nivi’s Sid’s bride, right? She complains to YM to have explained to Sid to get a better looking bride. The other guest says that’s Viren’s bride. Mrs. Khurana looks at Nivi in shock. Sid comes in, and stops. Mrs. Khurana says that Nivi’s Sid’s friend… and she’s seen them together, alone!! (Umm, losers, that was probably when NivArth went looking for Yash or Divya!)

Everyone’s face is one of shock. Sid wants to kill someone (preferably Mrs. Khurana?), and the guest continues the taunts. She ends with that Nivi loved one brother but married the other. (LMAO. So right!!) And then Sid comes in… tells Mrs. K to be quiet! (Whoa. Angry Sid is BACK. & with a vengance!)

Showdown b/w Mrs. K & Sid. Sid says that as a guest, she is welcome.. but if she’s going to point fingers, she can leave. Mrs. K turns around and says that she is a respected person, and everyone sitting there are respected as well.. if the Soods wanna be respected, then they have to answer to every question asked. Sid provokes Mrs. K into asking Sid what his r/ship is with Nivi. Epi ends on Sid’s face.

Precap: HH has had enough of Nivi, and tells Sid that because of her, Viren isn’t in this house. She drags Nivi out, and pushes her down the steps.. but our hero saves her!!
