Tiwari Family home, Pachmarhi - Day
A phone call comes for Pooja from Bhopal Natya Academy. Arti gestures her to talk but Pooja refuses, and asks her to tell the Academy representative about her refusal to join & sing. Arti lies to the rep, saying Pooja has gone out and will call back upon her return
Arti is irked at Pooja's refusal and questions what Brij would think about it??
On which Pooja says she is scared and how would she go alone? She hadn't gone to Bhopal to make a future, she had no choice. She can't leave her parents, and won't go abroad. *Poor Poojaπ*
Harivansh tactfully makes her understand the importance of her own merit, explaining that he wants her to go abroad by virtue of her talent rather than to fulfil an obligation. He says, he wanted to caution her a bit to keep a little distance from high profile people, as it's always good. He further adds Brij ji shouldn't think that after favouring them, the family has become big-headed, and so it's important to maintain a balance in the society. He praises her bravery on saving him and boosts her morale to be strong and not fear anything. Ultimately it will be her decision at the end of the day.
*Pooja is mentally conflicted*π
Tiwari Family Home, Pachmarhi - Night
Pooja is unable to sleep as she is grappling with her fears and emotions. She gets up, takes out her diary underneath the pillow and heads to the study table, reminiscing Brij ji's words "Main aapko iss Pradesh ki hi nahi, shayad iss Desh ki hone wali sabse behtareen singer se milata hoon, Ms. Pooja Tiwari !" --- "The crowd giving her a standing ovation at the Bhopal rally --- Arti's words ' "Academy se phone tha. Kal se tumhare riyaaz shuru hone wala hai, Brij ji ko pata chalega toh woh ka sochenge?" --- Studio photographer's words "Mauritius jana haina aapko? Toh Didi ko saath leke jayengi kya wahan??"
Troubled with her inner turmoil, Pooja starts penning down her thoughts "Hey Mahadev, aaj ek ajeeb si bechaini hai mann mein. Samajh nahi aa raha hai ki videsh jaane ki khushi zyaada hai ya apnon se dur jaane ka darr? Didi hamesha kehti hain ki jab bhi darr lage, aankhein bandh karlo. Toh kya yeh darr bhi khatm ho jayega? Aankhein bandh karne se?? " and she closes her eyes.
Next Day ~ Morning
Pooja's mother, Sumitra, sees her asleep on the study table & wakes her up. She lovingly says your problem is that you think too much. You don't need to go to Mauritius, I'll tell your father to call Brij Bhushan ji and tell no, but don't worry too much Bitiya. Meanwhile, Harivansh inquires for tea and asks his wife what happened' She tells him Pooja slept overnight on the study table and is very distraught.
As the morning progresses, Pooja is still tormented. Arti gets ready to leave for work and tells Pooja to drop by the beauty parlor as she will do her Gold facial, maybe that will help her agree for Mauritius. Harivansh interrupts Arti and asks her to not pressurize Pooja. She will do what she feels is right and tells Arti to end the matter.
Doorbell rings.
Harivansh opens the door and is congratulated by his neighbors. They praise Pooja for her laurels and making their society proud ! The family looks confused. They say they got to know about the "good news" through the newspaper. Arti reads the headline "Pooja Tiwari gaayengi Mauritius mein. Mukhya atithi honge Americi poorva Rashtrapati Bill Clinton"!!!!
They all ask the Tiwari family for a big treat !
The doorbell rings again. Harivansh Tiwari is greeted by the members of Rashtriya Jansewa Samiti (committee) ! They all praise Pooja for her talent, making Pachmarhi proud ! and ask to meet her.
Pooja is garlanded and congratulated. The members inform the Tiwari family about a ceremony being held by their Samiti in the evening, to honor Pooja, by Collector Saheb.
Harivansh is cordially invited by the members and is handed over the invitation. Everybody leaves, except Chachi (neighbour). She says to Pooja, time is mystic. Just a week ago, these same people were rubbishing about our Bhaisahab (Harivansh) and today, to honour you, are holding a big function !
She adds, it's all because of Pooja's hard work and would like her to achieve more and make Pachmarhi famous ! and not to worry at all !... She leaves.
Pooja sits. She looks at the stash of newspapers on the table in front of her and picks one. Reads the headline and looks more worried.
Dadda ji's House, Day ~
Brij Bhushan Pandey is seen seated with Dadda ji and his nephew, Girdhar. Dadda ji asks Brij he wanted to give some advice over Panchayati election? Brij says, yes, and explains that awareness should be spread amongst the people to rise above the "Bhed-bhav" (differentiation) and vote the right Pratyashi (candidate) to power. *Girdhar chuckles*
He further added, people need to see the work of any party's candidate, not his religion or race, because only development matters.
Dadda ji agrees and says, for that, winning is very important, so whatever you must do, do with passion and hard work. He says, people say a lot things like criminals shouldn't be given election tickets, however other parties will do so, if not us. (BBP agrees) So, having power is of utmost importance, in order, to do development work. And for that "Yuva-varg's"(Youth section) support is needed '. Girdhar interrupts, and says " Buss Chacha ji yehi baat toh hum bhi keh rahe hain. Apna Mrityunjaya Bhopal ke saare ladke ladkiyon mein badi vazandaari hai ! Arre Mumbai se ek do heroinein bulwa ke nachwa deta (BBP & Dadda ji sigh) Poora Yuva-varg apne haath mein aur uski nas (nerve) hamare haath mein ! Buss aap chinta mat karo iss baar chunaav hum ne jitwa diya"
Daddaji gets annoyed and says newspapers will print "Daddaji mujra karwa ke apni rajneeti kar rahe hain" ! (Brij hides his chuckleπ ) and asks him to think different and constructively !
Brij gets a call from Shamsher. He picks up & comes to the other side of the hall, while Dadda ji & Girdhar debate on. Shamsher informs that Mrityunjaya is breaking "their" support as he has gotten Sarpanch's ticket. Brij is baffled and asks to keep a close eye on him, as Mrityunjaya needs to be broken down first before he causes more damage. Brij says he'll discuss more when he meets Shamsher. They hang up. Brij wonders as to why Dadda ji hid the talk about Mrityunjaya.
