Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke: Abir supports Mishti

MUMBAI: The episode starts with Vishwamber saying I couldn’t protect Mishti. Her future depends on happiness, not on fear. We will keep Devyaani’s trust and protect her. Rajshri says I know, but Mishti’s condition…. Vishwamber says the times have changed, we must not do what we felt right, we should do what Mishti feels right, Yashpal ji agreed for the condition. Rajshri says Meenakshi didn’t agree. He says I am with Mishti, we have to understand her heart. They agree. He says it is our responsibility to bring happiness in Mishti’s life. Abir clicks pics while the ladies dye the sarees. He asks will the wedding dress get ready on time. The ladies say yes, you just click our pics. He does shayari. Mishti walks on the road and recalls Meenakshi’s words. A dupatta falls on her.

She sees Devyaani, Rajshri, and Mrs. Parekh asking her why is she refusing for a good guy, the family is good, she shouldn’t keep any conditions like this. Mishti shuts her ears and they disappear. Mishti sees Meenakshi. Meenakshi says my son is ready, you are stupid, my son is the best, what’s your status that you kept this condition. Mishti runs away. Nidhi stands on one foot and asks Jugni not to stop her. She says I will stand until my Ketki’s wedding dress comes, I am a terrible mum, I couldn’t save her dress. Meenakshi comes and asks what’s this, it was not your fault. Nidhi asks whose fault is it. Meenakshi says may Lord forgive the one who did this mistake, don’t do this again.

Kunal asks them to remove haldi decorations. He says mandap is ready, is there anything else. Meenakshi says I got a chunri made with gold thread. He says I will get it, Abir said the dress is ready, he took it to temple. She says one who has two sons can always be at ease. She gives his phone. He calls Kuhu and asks her to meet. Mishti prays. The lady says once we take the blessings, the dress will be ready.

Abir comes to the temple. Kunal meets Kuhu. She asks about the strange rasam to give chunri to bride’s sister. He says no and smiles. She asks him to say it fast. He says I have come to say thanks and sorry for bothering you. She says I am not an overexcited sister, to call you Jiju and give your gift to Mishti. He says I have come to meet you. She asks him to say what he wants to. He says I have come to ask about Mishti’s condition, I will talk to her later, you know Mishti being her sister, why is she unsure about this alliance, sorry if you are getting upset, I want to know Mishti’s point of view, if you were in her place, would you keep such a condition. Kuhu says you are getting married to Mishti, not me, it is better that you ask her. She goes.

The chunri falls on Mishti. Abir goes ahead and gives the dress to pandit. She says I don’t know what I am doing. Abir hears her. She says I felt I have the right to take my decisions, I forgot there are many stakeholders and pressures, I thought I am right but now I am doubtful, no one is with me. I don’t know if I have strength or not. She goes. Abir smiles and rings the temple bell. Mishti prays. Two ladies catch her. Mishti says leave me, who are you. She gets away and says don’t come close, I am a brown belt, I will break your bones. Abir says I told you she is very violent, leave her now. The ladies go. Mishti says I was desperate to talk to you, buy a phone, why don’t you keep a phone, what was all this.

He says I was reminding you who you are, you look sweet and simple, people don’t know there is an angry thief in you, one who fights for right, you won’t give up even if you lose. She smiles and asks what else. He says you know Karate too, you are yellow belt. She says brown. He says you said you are desperate to talk to me. She asks when did I say this. He thinks she will tell me herself. He says say it. She says I wanted your help in marital courtship matter, Kunal is your brother, Karate isn’t useful to fight social pressure. He asks did you save courage and anger for me. She says this matter has affected everyone at home, everyone feels I am doing wrong. He says but I think you are right, you have done the unusual thing, this would sound right if Kunal tells this, you are an adult and know what’s right for you, will you do the right. She nods. He smiles. She sees Ved with some people. Ved hugs his bride and takes selfies with her. She says is he Ketki’s fiance Ved, who is this girl with him. Ved gets a sprain in his foot.

Abir turns and says why did she stop. Mishti says I will ask Ved. Abir comes. Mishti says you are tall and came in between, where did he go. He asks Kunal? She says no. He asks what happened, you should have thanked me, you are looking around like slipper thief. She says we are friends but everything has a limit. He says I will drop you home. She asks why are you interested in dropping me. He says I have much work, it is Ketki’s marriage, don’t give up, do only what you think is right. She nods and says listen. He stops. She says all the best for the marriage. She thinks should I tell him that I have seen Ved getting married here, what if it was Ved. She says listen, nothing… He says you are using my style on me, not bad. He leaves.
