The episode begins with Bhavya waking up with a start after hearing a knock. She looks around the room to find herself on a mattress on the floor. Another empty, messy mattress lies next to hers. The main bed in the room is dismantled. Confused and worried, she wonders where Rishank is. She gets up and frantically searches the room and checks the wardrobe, but he is nowhere to be found.
Meanwhile, Rishank is in the bathroom, finishing his shower. As he gets out, he realizes there’s no towel. He looks around, flustered, and spots a pink bathrobe hanging on the wall. With no other option, he hesitantly grabs it.
Just then, Bhavya’s mother, Maasi, cheerfully enters the room with a tray of tea, wishing Bhavya a good morning. Seeing the state of the room and the floor mattresses, she smirks and asks if Bhavya slept well. She then offers some unsolicited advice, telling the newlyweds that based on her experience, they should enjoy their marital life for a year or two before even thinking about having children. Bhavya looks uncomfortable and distracted.
Bhavya tells her mother that Rishank doesn’t take sugar in his tea, to which her mother knowingly smiles. At that exact moment, Rishank steps out of the bathroom, awkwardly wrapped in Bhavya’s pink bathrobe. Both women are stunned into silence for a moment. Rishank, completely embarrassed, tries to hide behind the wardrobe door, stammering an apology. He explains that there was no towel in the bathroom, so he had to wear the first thing he could find.
Bhavya’s mother, however, finds the situation amusing. She teases Rishank, saying he looks quite good in Bhavya’s clothes and that this is a true sign of love. She then tells them to get ready as it’s time for their ‘vidaai’ (farewell ceremony). She tries to take the tea tray from Bhavya, but Bhavya, annoyed, shoos her mother out of the room.
Once her mother leaves, Bhavya turns to Rishank, who is still trying to explain his predicament. He says he should have asked for a towel and that he didn’t want to make her feel awkward by coming out in just his boxers. As he tries to put the robe back in the wardrobe, he struggles with it, which finally breaks Bhavya’s composure. She bursts into uncontrollable laughter. Rishank, initially flustered, drops the robe and looks at her, a smile spreading across his face.
He walks up to her, and she tries to suppress her giggles. He tells her how happy he is to see her laughing like this. Bhavya says that either she’ll have to get used to seeing him like this or learn to walk with her eyes closed. They share a tender, romantic moment. Rishank gently touches her arm and says, “Thank God, I got my friend back. I’ve seen myself smile freely like this after ages.” The episode ends with them looking at each other, a new level of comfort and affection between them.
Review
This episode was a refreshing mix of comedy and budding romance. After a tense start to their marriage, it was wonderful to see Bhavya and Rishank share a genuinely light-hearted and funny moment. The awkwardness of the morning-after was handled with great humor, primarily driven by Rishank’s towel mishap and the mother-in-law’s hilarious reactions. The chemistry between the lead pair is growing, and this episode did a great job of showing them moving from strangers to friends who can laugh together. The mother’s character, while a bit meddlesome, adds a perfect dose of comedy and moves the plot forward. The final scene was particularly sweet, highlighting that their connection is deepening beyond just a forced marriage. Overall, it was a feel-good episode that focused on building the central relationship in a very relatable and endearing way.
