Gauri:[as maan finished gauri said looking at her siblings]veerji di it’s our point of view but look it from vijay dadaji and sarita dadi’s point of view he is there only grandchild it’s obvious they would want his wedding to happen where he was born and it’s not that wedding happens everyday[maan and geet smiles and anika and raghav feel like idiots]

Shivaay:[listening to her words shivaay left her hand took a step back he had tears in his eyes]anika i’m sorry
Anika:[she looks at him for a while and then says]shivaay what are you sorry for i mean you are sorry that you know why i left,you are sorry that you divorced me or you are sorry for you accused my dead father to things i can’t even repeat[she takes a step forward and says]just tell me something shivaay would have you asked sorry to my family members if they were not your family friends,would you asked me to come back in your life if you have never known why i left,would you ever tried to find reason why i left if ranveer and pinky aunty had not blurted out the truth,[she shouts]would you,shivaay?[she cries and says]you know what shivaay you said you love me but that love was meaningless because you didn’t trust me shivaay if you would have trusted me then you would have understood that it’s my was my helplessness to leave you[she pointed finger at shivaay]but now it’s not my helplessness it’s my choice[saying this she leaves from there wiping tears of her face]
