Arnav (ignoring RK): Mamiji why did you go to Sheesh Mahal?

Mamiji: Uff Arnav bitwa. Tumko ishpy trainingz dena padegi! I thotj besht wayj to get ancherz to go to rootwa oph problemwa. Uindershtandz? I didj notz knowj Kundras aur Chaudharys, cho mein ne socha Sheesh Mahal bhould habh aincherz! Alcho bitwa I thotj dhat cho many secretwas dadiji haj...tumri maa aur papa ki deathwa ka bhi inbhestigation karne chaiye.

Arnav (angry): Mamiji we all know exactly what happened with my parents. Why do you want to delve into it again when Di and I closed that chapter in our lives?

Khushi (chides Arnav): Arnav. Let mamiji speak and finish her explanation.

Mamiji: Tanks yous Phati Sari. Aifter all dhat haj haipened aur yeh sab secretwas, tumri mamiji ij shuspishious obh eiverythingz. Arnav bitwa...khole dimaag mein socho.

RK: Aahaan. Keep an open mind just like I do.

Madhu (mutters): That's why air keeps swishing around in your brain, making all that racket!

RK (smirks): Not air...Biwi...not air. My super hot Jungli Billi is in my brain 24/7 making all the noise. And you want to blame bechari air?

Mamiji (ignoring RK and Madhu's bickering): Cho Arnav bitwa...I wentj to Sheesh Mahal...aur woha meetwa purani cairetaker. I achked himz aibout how phamily waj beifore di aur jijaji ka deathwa.

I albhays knewj chomethingz ij wrang bhith dadiji.

Khushi: Arnav we can't ignore this. We have to find out why dadiji lied about being in ashram while she was actually in Sheesh Mahal. What else she's keeping as secrets? Dadiji may not be the one behind our trouble but...

RK: But questions will always linger in your mind. So we need to look into this matter.

Arnav (nods his head): Mami when is your flight back to Delhi?

Mamiji: Arnav bitwa I just gotj heres aur yous readiej to chend me baick? (Looking at RK) I chtill haive to getj a rolewa in Rishab bitwa ka philmo.

Mamiji: Egjectly! Meri bootiful facewa willj makez your next philmo naimber one hit! Heroine ka rolewa pleaj!

Arnav (sighs): Mami you're going back to Delhi first thing tomorrow morning.

Mamij (puts hands on her face): Nehi! Bitwa...I juscht gotz herez.

Arnav (sighs again): Mami. Did you tell nani, mama, anyone in the family that you are coming to Mumbai?

Mamiji (bites her fingernails): Hello hi bye bye! I phoirgotj!

Arnav: Exactly. They will be worried about you. You are returning back tomorrow morning and say that you were at a friend's place.

Khushi (mutters): And Laad Governor ka orders continues.

Arnav (ignoring Khushi): Mami you pride yourself on being a spy right?

Mamiji: Oifcourche bitwa.

Arnav: Then you need to go back to spy on dadi.

Mamiji: Hello hi bye bye! You arej bhery correctwa bitwa. Nazar rakhna padegi!

Khushi: Mamiji your skills would put him to shame. I still remember how you threw pepper into one of the kidnapper's eyes to save me. It was done with such flair!

Arnav (aghast): When was this?!?

Khushi (to Arnav): Duhh! When you were kidnapped. Mamiji and I searched for all over the city. Anyway...forget about it. Now what are we going to do?

Mamiji: Uffo Phati Sari...youj habh a Kundra in phront of youj! Talkwa bhith hij phamily aboutj dadiji. Sairch phor connecshions!
