The car carrying the visitors from India enters Bhua's house and
Simran, Abhi, Shaguna, Aastha and Harsh alight from it. Foofaji and Bhua come
rushing out to greet everyone. Foofaji is happy to see Abhi and appreciates him
coming all the way to attend the wedding. Saurabh greets Simran and Aastha with
a big smile but his face becomes crestfallen when he sees Abhimanyu. Without
saying anything to Abhi, he excuses himself and walks off. In the house, Bhua
tells Saurabh that Abhi is a guest of Harsh and Catherine and to try and be
more sensitive to Abhi's recent loss. Saurabh, as usual, fulminates over Simran
bringing him along. Bhua reminds Saurabh that Abhimanyu is Aastha's father.
Simran is also upset with Saurabh and threatens to leave with Abhi id he is rude.
Saurabh says he knews he has no right to be angry but he cannot forget how he
treated Simran and cannot control himself. He walks off. Bhua tells Simran to relax and and
that she will make sure Saurabh is not rude to Abhi from now on.
Bhua, Harsh and Catherine encourage Simran and Abhi to go
shopping and generally go out and have a good time. Simran tells Shaguna that
she had better come along too with Aastha. Shaguna is nearly hitting the
ceiling, she's jumping so high (ok ok not really 😉) and blabbering about all
the things she can't wait to see....
We are then treated to sights of the Buckingham Palace,
Victoria Terminus, London
Bridge and many other
hotspots while the group goes sightseeing. They are then shown walking along
the waterfront where (hold your breath.. a major twist is about to unfold!!!) a
wicked lady dressed in black stares fixedly at little Aastha being wheeled
along by Shaguna in her pram…. She looks decidedly evil 😈
The group is still walking along someplace when Harsh and Catherine get everyone jacket potatoes for lunch. Shaguna is horrified at the thought of eating one … when Harsh tells her he'll take her along for some Balti food she says she won't eat from a balti cos it's kept in the bathroom 🤢 … they finally convince her that it's very spicy and tasty and she'll love it!!
Then we are shown Catherine choosing and trying out several pretty dresses for her wedding trousseau. All are having a good time. Abhi spots a lovely yellow dress for Simran but she refuses. His face falls .. she notices and immediately changes her mind and thanks him. Then Simran and Abhi are walking alone together along the riverfront. Simran thanks Abhi for living up to his promise and appreciates his efforts to forget his own pain. Abhi replies that it's easier to forget your own pain when you're surrounded by people who are happy to see you happy. Then there's a scene where Harsh and Catherine are dancing along with some people playing musical instruments on the road.. everyone is in high spirits and cheering them on.
It is night time and Shaguna is left alone for a while on the street with Aastha in her pram. She is transfixed with the goings on in a nail saloon, and is peering fascinated in thru the window of the shop while Aastha is beside her in the pram. The wicked lady in black sees her chance and tries to come closer to Aastha. Suddenly Harsh appears and teases Shaguna, inquires about the rest and walks off again. When Harsh leaves, the wicked lady eyes Aastha again, who is eating a chocolate. She moves stealthily next to the pram and reaches out to grab Aastha but Shaguna turns around just then and sees her. The wicked lady pretends she had bent down to koochie-koo Aastha, mumbles something like 'What a cute baby!' and quickly turns and walks off before Shaguna can see her face.
The next day there's a Ladies Sangeet going on at Bhua's place and there is merrymaking all around.. singing and dancing and clapping.. but Abhi doesn't seem interested in the festivities, he looks a little lost. Shaguna comes over to where someone is applying mehndi on Catherine's hands and tells her in good broken English – Shaguna style! – that your husband will love you very much if your mehndi rang is deep 😊 Simran enquires if Abhi has called home. Abhi shouts over the noise that he had forgotten but will do so now. Abhi calls home and gives the phone to Simran. All this while Saurabh is sitting just behind Simran and glowering at their easy familiarity. Then Simran talks to 'Mummyji' about Gudiya and Saurabh looks on with a dirty face, getting more and more disgusted. Eventually Simran hands over the phone to Abhi citing too much noise and Abhi goes out to speak to his mother.
After the celebrations, everyone is sitting around and talking. Catherine is amazed at the pampering of the typical lavish and elaborate Indian-style weddings and wishes she could attend the wedding of an Indian couple. Then she innocently says that she knows a couple who is made for each other – Abhi and Simran. Everyone looks like they've been hit by a ton of bricks. Poor Catherine stutters if she said something wrong... Then Shaguna seizes the moment to remind everyone that it was indeed Neha's last wish to see Abhi and Simran get married again. When Saurabh hears this, he turns a peculiar shade of red and purple 😡😈… and looks like he could strangle someone. Simran and Abhi look on with a pained expression 😔😕
