EPISODE 2

At the family dinner, Janvi starts planting seeds of doubt about Arushi in Akash’s mind, painting her as immature and irresponsible. She tries to make Akash see Arushi as nothing more than a childish dreamer.

Janvi*: *Whispers Akash\, I just wanted to warn you... Arushi is a bit... reckless. She’s always chasing one dream after another\, but she never sticks to anything.

*Akash*: *Raises eyebrow* Really? I didn’t get that impression. She seemed... full of energy\, but not irresponsible.

*Janvi*: Trust me, I’ve lived with her long enough to know. She’ll never make it in the real world with her attitude.

*Akash*: *Frowning* I see. *Pauses* But... she does seem determined.

Janvi: She’s all talk. Don’t let her distract you from what matters. She’s just a kid with big dreams, nothing more.

*Akash*: *Hesitates* I’ll keep that in mind.

Akash starts to view Arushi with skepticism, influenced by Janvi’s words. However, he can't shake off the impression that there’s more to Arushi than meets the eye. She may be childish at times, but there’s something about her that intrigues him.

*Arushi*: *Teases* So\, are you ever going to admit that you *like* my childish antics\, or will you keep pretending you don’t find them amusing? 😜

*Akash*: *Frowns* You’re impossible. I don’t find anything amusing about you.

Arushi*: *Laughs Oh\, you totally do. You’re just too stubborn to admit it! 😏

*Akash*: *Rolls eyes* This conversation is pointless.

*Arushi*: *Grins* If you say so\, but I’ll keep teasing you. It’s fun. 😜

Janvi's jealousy grows as she sees Arushi's innocent yet bold nature making an impression on the Malhotra family, especially Akash. Determined to ensure Arushi never gets the chance to pursue her dreams, Janvi starts to sabotage Arushi’s chances.

*Janvi*: *Whispering* Akash\, I need to talk to you about something. It’s about Arushi...

*Akash*: *Frowning* What about her now?

*Janvi*: *Looks around\, lowers voice* I hate to say this\, but she’s getting too big for her boots. She’s talking about becoming a model again... I think you should be careful. She’s just looking for attention\, and it’s a phase.

*Akash*: *Hesitates* She said she wanted to pursue modeling\, but... I didn’t think it was that serious.

*Janvi*: *Nods* Trust me. She’s not serious about anything. She’ll just disappoint you in the end. And\, you know how your mother feels about these things\, right? She’s traditional. She’d never approve of Arushi becoming a model.

*Akash*: *Ponders* I don’t know... I haven’t seen her give up on anything. She seems determined.

*Janvi*: *Sneers* That’s exactly what she wants you to think. Don’t be fooled by her childlike demeanor\, Akash. She’s not the kind of person you want around.

*Akash*: *Looks away\, unsure* I’ll think about it.
