 Khushi and Arnav are expecting their first child and want to keep the secret to themselves for a while.

Alternative version of when Arnav pays the rent for Buaji's house and then takes it back so she has 24 hours to pay the rent.   Khushi considers extreme measures to pay Buaji's rent while Arnav fixates on taking her back to Shantivan Come Home “Don’t you dare.” He’d received a call from Mohan to say Khushi had asked to be taken to a pawnbroker and had immediately made his way to the same shop. She was so stubborn, the fact that she would rather pawn some of her jewellery to a stranger than accept any money from him galled him. On his way over he had tried to think what she could possibly be pawning and the thought that she might give away her mother’s payals had quickened his pace.

Khushi’s face fell as she listened to Payal explain that they couldn’t go shopping because Arnavji was ill and Anjaliji refused to leave him behind for the day. Most of her dismay was because she had been looking forward to the now-aborted outing but there was a very small corner inside her that niggled at the thought of Arnavji being ill. She didn’t know how to ask for more details without making her sister suspicious and so she reluctantly began to say her goodbyes before Payal stopped her.
