Sagar brings silver anklets for Gangaa. This is your Dhanteras gift. Are you happy now? She nods, but then shakes her head. He is confused. She says it means both. The anklet is beautiful so I am happy. I am unhappy too as I cannot wear it. I am a widow. Amma ji will not like me. Sagar looks upset. She reminds him of last time when Amma ji broke all her bangles. We both got hurt too. He shares how he has been saving since the last 1 year. Finally I broke it and bought anklets for you of my choice and you say no? You are not concerned about me, but Dadi’s feelings? He takes it back from her. Gangaa talks to Jalebi offering. She stops Sagar. I will wear it. You brought it for me with so much love, so I will wear it. He asks about Dadi’s reaction? She says your friendship matters more to you than Dadi’s anger. I will wear them under my saree. He gets happy. He tries to make her wear it, but fails. She takes it from him. You guys only talk big. You cannot do anything. She wears it on her own. Sagar happily looks on. This is so easy. She takes credit for it. Why don’t you accept it that you are dumb? He chases her to teach her a lesson. The room echoes with the sound of anklets. She apologizes to him. I cannot wear it. Amma ji will find out about it. He nods. Dadi will get to know about the anklets through its sound. She will scold us. It is my fault. I shouldn’t have bought anklet which had metallic bells. She gets another idea. I will wear it and Amma ji will also not know about it. He asks her from where she gets so many ideas? She says I use brains. She removes the metallic bells from the anklets so they don’t make any sound. Sagar loves the idea. Dadi won’t get to know about it. Mehri asks them about it? Gangaa drops the anklet on Jalebi offering. Mehri waits for an answer. What are you hiding from Amma ji? Sagar says it’s nothing. Who are you to interfere in my every matter? Mehri says I don’t have time to interfere in anything. Amma ji and Madhvi asked me to call you both downstairs. Gangaa looks at her purse. Sagar tells her not to worry. Maybe she called us for food. They leave Jalebi offering behind.
Madhvi serves food to Niru. Amma ji notices Sagar limping. He says he got hurt while climbing the stairs. I have applied herbal paste on it and then bandaged it. Sagar is tempted to see the yummy food his mother has cooked. Gangaa looks on. Niru says your Mom always cooks these delicacies on Dhanteras Day with love. Amma ji takes the credit for guiding Madhvi. Niru teasingly agrees with her. Sagar says my Mom cooks the best food. Amma ji asks Gangaa to eat too. Everyone is surprised. Gangaa gets happy. Can I eat jalebi (Sweets) and spicy snack? Amma ji says you ate it in the morning too. I will bear all the sins. Gangaa asks her if she can eat jalebi and spicy snacks from now onwards? Amma ji corrects her. Only for today. You did so much for my family, so I will allow you today. But I won’t like it if you go against my rules. Madhvi gives a plate to Gangaa as well. She sits down near Amma ji. They hear the sound of anklets. Gangaa and Sagar look worried. Jalebi prasad comes out of the purse. The anklet gets entangled around his neck and feet. He moves around making the noise. Everyone looks up. Amma ji asks Mehri to go and check. Gangaa offers to check, but Amma ji tells her to eat. Mehri checks downstairs, but couldn’t see anything. Amma ji asks her to check upstairs. Jalebi offering sits near the stairs. The sound stops. Amma ji asks Mehri to bring more food. Sagar and Gangaa look relieved. The very next second they hear it again. Jalebi prasad roams upstairs in the balcony. Amma ji decides to go and check for it herself.
Grandmother, Shanta enters Chaturvedi’s house just then. She is also wearing anklets. She calls out excitedly for her sister Kanta (Amma ji). Amma ji stops in her tracks all shocked to see her sister. Sagar gives her intro to Gangaa. Amma ji stands rooted to her place. Shanta keeps saying that I am here. She farts. The kids laugh. Shanta tells them not to laugh, And that everyone farts? She next asks Amma ji to touch her feet. I am your elder sister after all? Did you forget your values? Tell me if you are hesitating in doing so? I don’t like blaming younger people for anything. Gangaa thinks of Amma ji’s description. This is Granny, Shanta! Granny, Shanta keeps on talking in monologue. Everyone stands around quietly. Amma ji says I am a little overwhelmed to see you. I got your letter just today. She bends down to touch her sister’s feet. Shanta makes her bend down a little more. Bless you! Thank God you are fine. That dream scared me. I had been looking forward to your letters, but nothing came from your end. I thought to check on you. I came here. Amma ji says I was about to send you a letter today. Shanta guesses everything correctly that Amma ji might have thought of. Gangaa wonders if Shanta Dadi (granny) is a magician? This is what Amma ji made me write? Shanta Dadi says I felt so sad when my son and Daughter-in-law held onto my feet while I was leaving the house. I made them understand somehow. Niru whispers to Madhvi. Aunt will say she has come here for at least 15 days. Shanta Dadi says the same thing just then. Amma ji looks a little shocked. 15 days! Shanta Dadi says I know they are less. I too want to give the keys to my Daughter-in-law and then stay with my relatives. But I am not as lucky as you. Niru tells Madhvi that the meeting between Amma ji and Aunt prove it that Amma ji can also be controlled by someone. Shanta Dadi holds Amma ji’s face. You look so old. People will call you my elder sister if we go out together. Madhvi is concerned for Amma ji. Sagar tells Gangaa that Shanta Dadi is not letting Amma ji speak at all. Gangaa says the same. Mehri too thinks of it. Now we have another Amma ji too. She talks so much. Shanta Dadi keeps on talking. Your Brother-in-law still calls me a new bride. She finally notices the other family members.
Madhvi touches her feet. Shanta Dadi tells Amma ji to dress up Madhvi properly. Amma ji asks Maharaj ji to take Shanta Dadi to her room. She next meets Niru. She ruffles his hairs. She hugs him and then makes him touch her feet. Niru smartly gets up before she can hold him down for longer. She calls Amma ji careless! She thinks only of herself. Now I will feed everyone nicely so you all get fat. Both Dadis’ (Shanta & Amma ji) go inside. Everyone follows them. Shanta Dadi sits with Niru. She keeps taunting Amma ji and asks Madhvi to dress up nicely. It will help you keep your husband in your control. My Daughter-in-law dress up like a Princess all because of me. She asks for her grandsons? Madhvi introduces Sagar to her. He too has to go through the same ordeal. She kisses him forcedly and hugs him. She asks about Gangaa? Madhvi tells her about Gangaa. Shanta Dadi taunts Amma ji. You have made your house a widow home. Your husband died before age. That woman who dies as a married woman is the luckiest. Everyone feels bad. Niru excuses himself. Mehri gives water to Shanta Dadi. Shanta Dadi scolds Mehri for being a turtle. She is asked to massage her feet. Mehri looks at Amma ji and then obliges. Shanta Dadi does not give up. She keeps talking about married women and widows. I don’t know what mistake my sister made that she became a widow! Gangaa thinks of how Amma ji’s sister uses stronger words than Amma ji.
Amma ji asks Shanta if she’s done now? Shanta says not yet and farts. Sagar and Gangaa smile. Shanta says this is nature, stomach and gases are together. Amma ji thinks Shanta is troubling everyone, how will we bear her for 15 days, what could be the reason of her coming here so suddenly? Ratan and Prabha are at the temple with their son Yash. Ratan asks Prabha to put 10rs in the charity box. Prabha says this is the time period, and misery in the Lord’s name too, and thinks how to get money, she did not get his bonus and salary, help me Lord, she will not return the jewelry, she doesn’t wish to go to jail. A lady asks her to walk ahead. Prabha makes faces and sees people putting money in the charity box. She thinks they are not asking her, she needs more, they are foolish to give money to the Lord, who gives them money.
Gangaa and Sagar take care of the puppy Jalebi offering. Sagar says it’s good Shanta Dadi came and the topic was changed. Gangaa says Shanta talks so much, I have seen Amma ji quiet for the first time. He asks if She’s talking bad about Dadi? She says no, I don’t insult elders. Sagar says maybe Jalebi offering got unwell, and he might be dehydrated. She asks him to get water. He asks her to hold the puppy and goes to get water. He brings water and she makes the puppy have water. Sagar says he is not drinking it, and gets cotton to make the puppy have water.
Gangaa says I feel Jalebi offering got ill. Sagar checks him and says maybe, we have to take him to the veterinary doctor right now. Gangaa asks how will we get the money for the doctor’s fees? He says I have just 50rs. Gangaa says it won’t be sufficient, if you did not spend daily pocket money, we would have gottan the money for the doctor’s fees. He says he has spent the money to buy anklet for her. She asks did I tell you to get a gift for me, just think how to get money. He says we can’t ask for money, what will we say?
Prabha asks a lady to have patience, she is pure devotee, she will donate real money, not stones. Prabha sees Ratan praying and hides the 10rs. She puts a one rupee coin in the charity box and apologizes to Lord. She says
she needs money, sorry, I will take some money from this box. The Priest sees her taking money from the box and asks what is she doing? Prabha says I was putting money in it, I’m donating more as I’m a real devotee. The Priest blesses her. Prabha says it’s the Lord’s duty to help me, what will the Lord do with this money? Ratan asks her to have darshan (the meeting with the holy man). She says Lord is everywhere, I can’t take it, come soon. She goes.
Shanta gives Mehri a saree. Amma ji hears them and says Shanta gets already worn sarees in good packets. Shanta calls Amma ji a miser. Amma ji says no, I also give out sarees. I can give white sarees too. Mehri says I don’t wish to.
