21st July
Highlights:
' Teacher heads to the police
' Jagdish sees Anandi
' Bhairav's brother yells at Anandi's father
' Rituals start
Anandi's mother glares at the teacher and tells her that not even God can stop the wedding today. She leaves the teacher watching a laughing Anandi. The teacher becomes more determined and tries ringing the police station but when it doesn't go through, she decides to go to the station herself. On the way there she bumps in to Purshutam who starts to chatter with her. She informs him that she is busy and explains about going to the police station.
Purshutam is stunned and tries to talk her out of it; insisting that if she interferes then Anandi's family and the bharat will pull out their swords. However the teacher is adamant and continues on her way.
Anandi's house'
Anandi enjoys herself as she watches the bharaat coming in. her cousin comes in and teases her, asking if she is looking for her 'been' [groom]. Anandi is confused and replies that she is just watching the bharaat and says that she feels like going down and dancing as well. Her cousin makes fun of her saying that she has to stay here and heads downstairs, leaving a sullen Anandi behind.
Downstairs; Anandi's family greet the bharat and the pandit asks for Jagdish [Groom]. Jagdish's father carries him inside and the guests laugh as they find that Jagdish has fallen asleep. They wake him up and tell him to start the customs. Jagdish grumbles but takes a neem branch and is told to hit the thoran with it. Jagdish looks up and sees Anandi and realises that she is his wife.
He tries hitting the thoran but it is to high up for him. The guests laugh and Anandi's cousin teases him, adding that they should lower the thoran otherwise Ananadi will remain unwed all her life. Jagdish spots Anandi laughing and is furious. He takes a few steps back before running up and hitting thw thoran. The guests cheer and Jagdish glares at a grinning Anandi.
Anandi's mother comes forward and completes the other customs. One of them being where she has to pull the nose of the groom and lead him inside. Anandi's mother tries to get out of it but the ladies laugh saying that at others wedding she is always pushing the MIL to pull harder but here she is shying away from the custom. Anandi's mother gives in and pulls Jagdish's nose and who screams and says that he won't go inside. His father consoles him and promises him a new cricket bat if he does. Jagdish finally complies and is led inside the house.
Meanwhile, Purshutam is tensed and tries to warn Anandi's father, but he is to immersed with the wedding to pay attention. Another guest assures Purshutam that the grooms side is immensely powerful and nothing will happen.

She brings them out and her mother scolds her, but her MIL says that it's o0kay and she did the same at her wedding.
