Sona : really? have you seen yourself we won’t even look at you

Maya : I don’t even care what you think about me

Dean ; enough, last time I gave you both warning but now you left me no choice than calling your parents

Sona : but Sir

Dean calls Ruchika and Kritika in school who are equally shocked

Roo : what have they done?

Dean ; on both of your insistence, I let them go last time but this is concern of discipline of school

Kritika : Sir we are very sorry for everything but please don’t suspend them

Dean : fine but last chance, if again I get complain about them I will rusticate them from school right away

Roo : thank you Sir

Both mothers shout at girls for behaving badly with each other

Maya : you always take her side, sometime I feel I am not your daughter

Roo : just stop with your nonsense, what was the need to fight

Maya : and she was right of being rude with my friend

Roo : for god sake they are your siblings at least behave properly

Maya : I don’t consider them my brother sister and dont expect me to apologize to her alright (leaves to her room)

Sona : mom please on your saying I always behave properly with Maya but did that girl ever talked with decency

Kritika : I know she was also at fault but how may times I told you be patient

Sona : I am always calm but if somebody dares to say anything to Krissh I won’t spare that person be it anybody

Krissh : listen to me, I know you care for me but what if dean had rusticated you from school

Sona : I don’t care but how dare she say something to you

Krissh : you know I didn’t feel bad of what she said to me, let her bark

Sona : but I care for you my brother and sisters a lot, if she again does anything to you I will not spare her (leaves)

Kritika : more than Maya I am scared of her temper now

Krissh : mom you dont’ worry I will handle her but please don’t tell dad unnecessarily things will blow out

Kritika : I won’t but I hope Maya remains silent about it

Krissh : hey my angry sister why are you venting out on poor books

Sona : till today I was quiet but today was limit how dare she

Krissh : sit here, listen to me forget about whole world, just think about our family, you are dad’s princess do you want anybody questioning him

Sona nods negatively

Krissh : you are his pride, I am worried more about your temper don’t make yourself down due to others

Sona : I love you a lot bhai (hugs him emotionally) more than anybody, you and Khushi di are my idol

Nabhatun aali apsara
Nabhatun aali apsara
Asi sundara saaj sazpunna
Aali aali aali
Aali ga aali..
Kesa madhi maandla gajra
Lokachya nazra khilya tichyavar
Aali aali aali..

Duniyachi pyaari tu
Agrani harni ga
Agrani sundaraa ha ha..
Aali ga aali
Aali ga aali
Aali ga aali
Oh maharani aali..
Aga ga ga ga…

Zara (greets audience) : Nazar jo teri laagi main deewani ho gayi
Deewani haan deewani, deewani ho gayi
Mash’hoor mere ishq ki kahaani ho gayi
Jo jag ne na maani toh maine bhi thaani
Kahaan thi main dekho kahaan chali aayi..
Kehte hain ye deewani mastani ho gayi

Mash’hoor mere ishq ki ye kahani ho gayi
Jo jag ne na maani toh maine bhi thaani
Kahaan thi main dekho kahaan chali aayi..
Kehte hain ye deewani mastani ho gayi
Deewani haan deewani, deewani ho gayi

Dev is mesmerized with her beauty and personality throughout whole dance.

Khushi does her final touch up when somebody throws flower on her. She goes out to check but does not find anybody and comes back inside.

Khushi : you? but how did you come inside

“I don’t need anybody’s permission to meet you sweetheart, today you really look from different world Yash pulls her closer

Khushi : keep this romance for other time I have to go leave me

Yash : I won’t what will you do

Khushi : you forgot I am wrestler’s daughter, okay listen can you keep an eye on door and let me know when mom comes

Yash ; even today you are making me bodyguard, I also want to see my bestie rocking stage

“Next performance is Khushi Luthra from St Xaviers Host announces her name

Khushi : won’t you wish me luck

Yash : best ones don’t need that, they only need inspiration go rock is

Khushi winks before leaving while Yash waits to signal her about Tanya’s arrival.

Lights shifts on Khushi who is wearing Rajasthani dress and is ready to perform

Ghoomar ramvane aap padharo saa.

Aavo ji aavo ji Ghoomardi khelba ne

Padharo sa Ghoomardi khelba ne

Balam tharo ghurar ghurar ghurraave

Preeta and Shrishti are very much overwhelmed seeing her dance. Their children are still under shadow of indian culture and their given upbringing. Pari keeps calling Tanya who is busy in meeting.

Khushi (looks at Yash) : Thaare ehsaason ki raunak hai mhari Diwali

Mann mehal ki saari deewaarein

Thaare rang rangwa li

Paake thara saaya tann hai jagmagaya

Taaron bhari ho gayi mhari saari kaali raat bharke

Arey lehango kurti chunri payaliya thhe pehno

Oye loomar jhoomar ghoomar ghoomar thhe khelo

Towards the end Khushi who was waiting for her mom realizes has not come. Her feet does not stop dancing recalling her mother’s cold behavior from years. Khushi’s heart breaks into million pieces this time and unable to heal deep wound.

Devrani, Jethani khele

Saasu ji ghoomar khele
