The episode starts with Ruhi in college. She is at a table in the canteen waiting for someone. A girl rushes into the canteen. She is wearing jeans and a black shirt. She looks like she is tough angry young woman. But her eyes convey otherwise. She is carrying a thick obstetrics book in her hand and her bag looks heavy too. “Sorry sorry sorry” she says as she sits at Ruhi’s table. Well I didn’t know this was possible, but this girl was actually more beautiful, more graceful and much cuter than Ruhi. “Where were you Radhika? I have been waiting and waiting for you to come?” Ruhi says to the girl. Radhika says, “Sorry!! I had gone to meet Professor Mehra to get some doubts solved. But then – ” “You got into an interesting conversation about some recently published medical paper or journal, isn’t it?” Both the girls burst out laughing. “This is why you are my best friend Ruhi-because you know me so well!” “By the way, why are you leaving early?” asked Radhika. “It’s a big day for my family! Adi Bhaiyya is getting Ananya and me a Bhabhi! He is gonna introduce us to her today!”says Ruhi. They meet their other friends and have fun. (Daaru Desi Song plays in the background…..)
Scene shifts to the Bhalla house. Santoshi, Madhu, and Vandu is helping Ishita to prepare the food for the guests. Ruhi, Ananya and Kshitija are placing cut flowers in the vases. Bala comes in and gives some parcel to Ishita “Ishu, these are the Rasagullas you asked me to get. I have also brought Gulaab Jamuns so Adi’s bride-to-be will have a choice” Ishita thanks him. Just then Raman comes with Mihir and Mihika. Ishita scolds them, “I had told you three to come early. Is work more important than Adi?” Mihika calms Ishita. While everybody is wearing the best of their clothes, Adi comes down and stares. He says, “Is somebody important coming for dinner? But Ishi Maa how can you invite someone, I told you I am bringing in my girlfriend.” Ishita says, “All this is for your girlfriend!” Adi bursts out laughing, “All this?! (*laughs*)” He anyway thanks the family for considering his girlfriend to be important and special. Everybody teases Adi and he blushes.
The door bell rings. Ruhi rushes to open the door but Adi stops her. He himself opens the door. He talks to someone and then tells everyone, “My girlfriend is here!” He steps aside. The girl is wearing a blue sari. It’s none other than Radhika! (*wow! she looks elegant!*) Nobody says a word. Everybody looks at Ruhi as everybody knows that Radhika is Ruhi’s best friend.
Ruhi runs and hugs Radhika. Ruhi says, “Yaar, you could have told me earlier you know! I can’t believe it! My soul sister is gonna be my sister-in-law, my bhabhi!!!” Everybody heaves a sigh of relief. Ishita asks, “Adi was saying that your parents are also coming. Where are they?” Radhika replies,”Sorry aunty, They were gonna come. But my mother was not well…she has a high blood pressure problem. Baba waited is with her. So I had to come alone”. As the evening passes, Radhika talks to everyone. But she and Adi do not get a chance to talk to each other. They keep exchanging looks. (Ye Hai Mohabbatein plays in the background…)
After everybody has had dinner and had ragullas or gulab jamun, it’s time for Radhika to leave. Raman tells Adi to drop Radhika home. They silently comply and leave.
Ananya asks Ishita, “Badi Maa, did you like Bhaiyya’s choice?” Ishita says, “As long as Adi is happy, I’m happy.” Madhu says, “Whenever Ruhi would bring Radhika home, I always told Santoshi, that Radhika is such a well-mannered and nice girl and she bring happiness wherever she goes. I always said that the family where Radhika marries into, would be very lucky!” Mihika says, “True, but who knew that we are going to be that lucky family.”
Precap- Santoshi wants the marriage to take place asap, but Adi and Radhika wish to wait till Radhika completes her education.
