Abhi is stunned but when he looks into Rhea’s puppy eyes he melts…He nods and asks Alia to inform Meera and make all the arrangements…Ranbeer Khanna then interrupts them by saying that everyone thinks you need a mother, but we grew up without one and we turned out just fine! Didn’t we Dad? Neil raises his voice ‘Ranbeer’…Dida says Neil Puttar it’s okay beta and she walks towards Ranbeer and tells him ‘ Puttar listen, what do you like the most? Nani shall make that for you?’ Ranbeer feels a little happy after so long as he feels a strong maternal connect with someone for the first time in his life…He then smiles and says Pani Puri…Dida, Vikram and Neil all remember Pani Puri being Ragini’s favourite item and how she would always want to eat it…They smile and all miss her in their own wayy…
Rhea who’s a little confused stands up and walks towards Ranbir Kohli and asks him? Who are these people and why are they calling Dida , Nani? Ranbir rudely tells her these are my cousins, my bua’s children…Rhea tells him you have a bua? Ranbir nods…Oh any more questions Ms Mehra asks Ranbeer Khanna…Yes Sir why do you both have the same name? and she bursts out laughing..’Woh actually Ranbir and Ranbeer’s grandfather wanted to name his first grandson to be called Ranbir and both his children named their eldest sons ranbeer’ says Pallavi…
Meanwhile Prachi and Ragini have reached the mansion and Prachi is in awe…Ragini tells Prachi not to tell Pragya anything as she is pretty stressed out with something…Prachi asks her what but Ragini decides to that her mom will tell her herself…They enter the house and Prachi is shown her room…A few hours pass by and everyone comes down for dinner…Kiara is shown creating a fuss just like Rhea would…Without seeing Kiara’s face Prachi tells her mother…’What Maa, another Rhea you found’…Everyone whips around seeing her and Aarav and Nishi embrace her…Woh Prachi this is your…..sister Nishi says…Prachi looks at Pragya questioningly and Pragya tells her that she will tell her later…Prachi nods and looks at Kiara who feels like an elder version of Rhea
A few hours have passed and Pragya enters Prachi’s room and she starts narrating Kiara’s whole past about how she was born, how she lived with king, how she came back and married her father,kiara’s death, king’s deceit and and how she just came to know about her a week ago…Waise Maa, She really feels like another Rhea…she then thinks about what all happened back and Delhi and her face looses its spark…Pragya notices this but gives her her space and tells her to not talk about Delhi more…
A week passes and by this time the wedding preparation is on in full swing in the Mehra Mansion…The Kohlis and Khannas have bonded…Neil is still busy in his business…Meanwhile in Mumbai, Pragya receives a call from Ranbeer Khanna who tells her he’s from the USA deal…Pragya nods and talks to him about the deal and about his father…He then invites her , her business partner and her entire family to their family wedding in Delhi and how they will be doing the deal here too…Pragya gets a bit sceptical but then accepts after her requests multiple times…He also asks her to send a picture of hers so he can identify her and she tells him that her secretary will send it…She then informs Ragini and her family who says that she would love the break…During this week, Kiara has become really close to the family and she has completely fit in, even though she is shot tempered, she and Prachi have many qualities that are same due to their common upbringing by Pragya…Ragini and Pragya inform the kids and they are all overjoyed…Kiara tells shocks the family by telling them that she is a fashion student and will make all their outfits…Pragya tells her that they already have many clothes but then she stops as Kiara begins to say something…Kiara takes out her phone and shows everyone the webpage of Svaa- a very popular indian designer boutique in the world…Nishi says ‘Kiara, why are you showing us this? Kiara replies by saying do you know who is the owner..They all respond in a negative and that’s when Kiara points at herself…Pragya immediately hugs her and thats when Kiara says Mumma I am 27 now,,, i obviously have a million dollar business but unfortunately you are the richest of them all…Do you know what our combined net worth will be? Also guys,, Now that Ragini Maasi and Mumma are a part of my family…Oops i mean now that I am a part of yours…I was thinking why don’t we start making family appearances and show our name to the public…Get paparazzi to follow us? Kiara Di, Chill right now after they do their first deal in Delhi then we can show them the face behind the RP group of industries and Svaa- Ragini, Pragya Arora, Prachi Arora, Kiara Arora, Aarav and Nishi!! They all cheer for themselves and that’s when Kiara asks Ragini why the three of them don’t have surnames and Ragini tells her that it’s a story for another time…She also tells Pragya that her legal documents to change her name from Singh to Arora were approved..
While the wedding preparations are in full swing…Ranbir deeply misses Prachi…Rhea spends a lot of time with Ranbeer Khanna and the entire family can see how happy they are together…5 days pass by and Kiara has made everyones outfits…The family has packed and leaves for Delhi in their private jet…
It’s about 5am in Delhi…The Mehra’s and Kohli’s are up for a Puja as it the day of the engagement…The Khanna’s were supposed to be there but were all jet lagged…Out of everyone Rhea, Aliya and Meera looked the happiest as marrying Abhi was super beneficial for all of them…Unknown to them today was going to bring a storm in all their lives…Abhi was doing all this for his daughter but he was still yearning for the love of his life and he had a feeling that he would see her soon… He was also feeling very guilty for saying all those things to Prachi… as he knew that Ranbir had no feelings for Rhea and seeing Rhea spending time with his best friend Neil’s son showed him how happy his daughter would be…and he was finally about to give her a mother, something she had always wanted, right from the day she was born…He also remembered the conversation he had had with Sarla Ma and she completely supported his decision and also promised to fulfill all the duties as his mother…She had however informed him that while Srishti will be there, Preeta wouldn’t show up as she would never accept this relationship…
On the other hand, A private jet had just landed in Delhi and the entire family from Mumbai got out…Before Ragini could give any instructions to the driver of the bus,,,Pragya gave him and address and he began driving there…Everyone asked Pragya where she was going , but she told them it was a surprise…They soon arrived outside a large luxurious mansion which was called the Shah Mansion…As the rang the bell a beautiful girl of about 8 years came and opened the door…she saw Pragya and she said Maasi…Pragya hugged the girl while the rest of the family were confused as to how Pragya knew the girl…A lady came out and her face is revealed to be Disha…Post Disha and Purab’s separation, Disha became very independent and strong and stood up for herself and was then married to the love of her life, Vihaan Shah…While he was a diamond tycoon, Disha was a very big fashion designer…Disha had completely cut herself off from the Mehra’s and had no interest in knowing what they were doing…All Ragini, Pragya and Disha were now successful women who were no longer bothered by their ex-husbands and were strong characters with a lot of dignity…The two families were introduced and Kiara and Sunny caught up on old times and their bond was exactly like before and it hadn’t even changed one bit…Disha was so happy for Pragya and Ragini and was really glad to meet her two nieces…One of them was her reason for her happiness at the Mehra mansion…Sunny and Kiara looked way to comfortable in each other’s company and anyone would mistake them for a couple…Pragya informed everyone that she doesn’t feel like attending all the functions and would simply go for the wedding itself. Ragini, her kids and Prachi… also agreed. Kiara was the only one who wanted to attend and thus Sunny decided to accompany there…they were both unaware about the storm that was going to follow.
The engagement venue was a beautiful hall and there were very less people invited…It felt like there was family and only a few friends…Kiara and Sunny stepped into the venue and when they walked in, the entire vibe changed… It became dark and that’s when Purab looked at the couple from far and thought to himself, what a cute couple I hope they last…Right as they stepped into the seating area…Kiara could see a familiar face and he was flirting with a girl…They seemed pretty close and Kiara and Sunny went towards them…Rhea and Ranbeer Khanna were seen having a moment and suddenly were brought out of their trance when they heard Kiara’s voice ‘Well well Mr. Khanna, look what we have here’ she smirked while looking at Rhea…’Looks like you downgraded K’ Ranbeer said looking towards Sunny…’We’re not together’ said Sunny. Kiara smiled and nodded politely and walked off, followed by Sunny…Rhea asked Ranbeer ‘Who is she?’ ‘Remember I was telling you about my ex-girlfriend that reminded me of you, it’s her’ ‘Kia?’ Rhea asks and Ranbeer simply nods…By this time, the engagement is about to start and that’s when Kiara and Sunny see the groom and then get shocked…Kiara walks towards the mic as Sunny stands frozen realizing that the groom is none other than his Chucks…Just as Abhi is about to make Meera wear the ring…The noise of someone testing a mic is heard…All the attention shifts to Kiara and by this time everyone including the Mehra’s, Kohlis and Khanna’s are looking at her…Out of all of them Ranbeer Khanna looks the most shocked as he has known this girl for the past 10 years and knows her anger problems….
‘Abhishek Prem Mehra’ Kiara says and the room is silent, Abhi feels a chill down his spine and in that process he drops his ring and it rolls down to Kiara and she picks it up and then continues…’Shaadi karne se pehle atleast divorce your first wife. If I remember, you’ll are very much married na?’ Everyone in the room was shocked at this unknown girl making statements about the groom…Before she could say anything else…Three people called out her name in anger…’Kiara’ said Sunny….’Kiara’ said Ranbeer and ‘Kia’ said Neil..
Kiara looks at the three people calling her…She smirks seeing Ranbeer and Neil as they know how she is and can humiliate people if they do something wrong with her…She turns and then looks at Sunny, who doesn’t look angry but his body has stiftened up and concern and worry has laced his eyes…After all, they were his family too…She has two options, she can create a scene and insult that man or she could just tell everyone who her mother was….She could have left but she enjoyed the thrill in being a part of the drama…and after all she wanted everyone to know the truth and how this man is the worst husband ever, who always chose his family over her mother…However she is happy that they are no longer together as her mother is smart, rich and super successful and isn’t heartbroken over this cheat…However after knowing her mother for the first seven years of her life, Kiara knows how much her mother used to love this man…
