The boys wait for the girls to come to the cafeteria. Before the girls arrive, the boys spike the girls' drink. They plan to video tape the girls acting crazy just to humiliate them. Swayam and Rey join the party later and wonder why the girls haven't come yet. Neha and Rinni are the first to arrive. They tell the boys that they would like to wait for the rest of the girls to come to start the party. Later Simmi and Sharon join the group. Swayam stands up when he sees Sharon but Rey reminds him to treat Sharon like one of the guys. Sharon, on the other hand, wonders why Swayam doesn't acknowledge her. Rey wonders why Taani hasn't come yet. The boys suggest starting the party instead of waiting for her to come but the girls insist that they wait till Taani comes. Finally Taani arrives. Rey thanks Taani for all of her efforts. The team come together and thank Taani for getting them back into the NDC finals.
The boys send Bharat to bring the spiked drinks. Bharat messes up and gives the girls the normal drinks and the boys the spiked drinks. A couple hours later all the boys are hammered. The girls wonder why the boys are acting so weird. Simmi figures it out and tells the girls that the boys spiked the drinks. They must have spiked the drinks for the girls but they ended up having it instead. The girls try to calm the boys down but to no avail. Swayam calls Sharon a fireball and tells her that if he touches the fireball, then it won't be the same. Sharon watches in horror as Swayam starts blabbering weird things. Meanwhile, Rey makes weird gestures at Taani while Taani tries to calm him down. When she tries to leave, Rey stops her and yells out that he loves her. Taani watches in shock as the other students in the cafeteria video the boys doing crazy things.
Sharon and the other girls look on in shock as Rey professes his love for Taani in his inebriated state. Rey tells a story about their break up. Taani understands why Rey broke up with her. Rey congratulates himself for taking the step. He commends Taani for being strong and independent. But Taani is hurt by the way Rey tells her the truth. The other students make negative comments about how loser like Taani was when she was with Rey. Sharon looks on as Swayam ties her hand with his. The other girls try to stop Rey from saying anything further but they are too late. The damage is already done. Taani is ashamed at the way Rey told everyone about their personal life. She gets very hurt. Finally Rey realizes what he has done and lets go of Taani. Taani runs out of the cafeteria crying. Will Taani forgive Rey? How will Rey apologize to Taani?
Here's what we have to look forward to next week...
In other news, looks like Monday 1 hour specials are going to be a new thing for Channel [V]! Looking forward to the Dil Dostii Dance Monday special in July! I'm guessing that's going to be the NDC final and all the drama that surrounds it...
The boys decide to organize a party for the girls in which they would exact their revenge. They leave from Sharon's place and go to meet Rey. They tell Rey and Swayam that the girls were insulting them and making fun of them behind their back. They even lie to Swayam that Sharon told the girls that he was such a loser when he was her assistant. This affirms Rey's suggestions to Swayam. Rey suggests that Swayam treat Sharon just like a guy because even though she looks like a girl, she likes to be independent. On the other hand, when the girls starts discussing about how the boys can make them feel special, Sharon tells them about she wants to be treated like a girl. She wants her guy to be mushy with her, talk to her all the time and so forth. That segment totally highlighted how a best friend and boyfriend differ in the way they see a person. For Rey, Sharon is just like one of the guys but for Swayam, she's special. In the same way, Sharon doesn't expect her best friend to treat her differently, but she certainly expects Swayam to make her feel special.
Poor Swayam accepts Rey's suggestions and vows to treat her like one of the guys! Poor guy! Wonder why he is following Rey's suggestions when he clearly states that he understands Sharon like no one else. I'm sure Sharon will set him straight! Moving forward, the boys tell ReYam about their party plan. Swayam instantly objects but Rey supports the idea. Rey makes Swayam understand that they can use the party to their advantage. Rey can impress Taani while Swayam can impress Sharon. Swayam agrees and congratulates the boys for coming up with such an amazing idea. Rey tells the boys that the party should be for Taani as she has done so much for their dance team. The boys agree and get going with their plan.
The next day, the girls rehearse in the rehearsal hall. They wonder why the boys haven't come yet. Suddenly they notice a note being pushed under the door. The girls open the note and read it. It is an invitation to a party that boys are arranging for Taani. The girls are happy to see that the boys are doing so much work to celebrate Taani's achievements. They all agree to go to the party. The boys secretly listen to the girls talking and get excited to see their plan coming together. Just when the girls plan to get ready for the party, Aashi informs them that her mother is not well. She tells the girls that her mother is the hospital. She also tells them that she will not be able to participate in the NDC finals. Sharon assures her that she should be with her mother and not worry about NDC. Wonder if that means Sneha Gupta is leaving the show or just taking a break. She wasn't in the quarter final performance either...
Rey goes to invite Taani personally. He sticks the envelope on her locker door. Just when Taani reads the invitation, she hears Rey. Rey tells her that the party is to celebrate her achievements. Taani telle Rey that she doesn't have the time for partying and tells him to decline her invitation. Rey explains that the party if from the entire team. They all want to thank her for getting the St Louis team back in the NDC finals. Will Taani go to the party? What will happen at the party?
The D3 team try to decide what the NDC final routine will be. They finally agree that hardcore hip hop would be best. Vicki makes a statement that the boys can manage energetic hardcore hip hop but how will the girls manage. The girls get offended and say that they can dance hardcore hip hop just as well. The girls and boys fight and finally come to the conclusion that a face off will show the boys how good they are. The girls and boys get ready for the face off. Swayam looks on as the boys challenge the girls. He wonders if Sharon is going to participate as well. When the face off starts, he looks on as all the other boys do their thing and try to out-dance the girls. Finally Sharon jumps in and pulls Swayam in as well. Just when Swayam is about to dance, she makes a 'L' sign with her hand and Swayam freezes. The girls take Swayam's freezing as a sign of defeat and celebrate their victory while Swayam watches on. He is surprised by Sharon's gesture and doesn't know how to react. Sharon on the other hand, celebrates with the girls but apologizes to Swayam for making the sign. Meanwhile, the boys are furious with Swayam and vow to seek revenge from the girls for their humiliation.
While the epic face-off is taking place, Rey goes over to Taani's place. He calls her and tells her that he needs to talk to her. When Taani refuses, Rey tells her that he could have come to her room through the window but he didn't. Taani tells him that window is locked but Rey corrects her. She goes to the window and sees Rey standing downstairs. Rey once again professes his love but Taani sternly tells him that he is wasting his time. She clearly spells out to him that she doesn't have any feelings for him anymore. She hangs up and shuts the window, leaving Rey staring at the closed window. I wonder why Rey just doesn't tell her the truth about the breakup. Why the unnecessary misunderstandings? Rey goes back to his place and tries to think of a way to get Taani back into his life. While he thinks of ways, Swayam shows up. Swayam tells Rey about the face off between the boys and the girls. Rey guesses that the boys lose because of Swayam. Swayam tells him about Sharon's insulting move. He also asks Rey to help him impress Sharon. After a lot os coaxing and convincing, Rey agrees to help Swayam.
The girls celebrate their victory by having a sleep over at Sharon's place. They make fun of the boys one by one and laugh at them. When one of the girls mentions Swayam's fear of Sharon and his freezing, Sharon and Aashi both defend him. The girls wonder why Sharon and Aashi are defending Swayam when in fact they should be making fun of him for freezing. Sharon gets upset with Aashi while Simmi calms her down. The boys eavesdrop on the girls. They feel even more insulted by listening to the girls make fun of them. They play a prank on the girls and vow to exact their revenge. What will the boys plan? Will it work out? Let's wait and watch.
In other news, looks like there's going to be a lot of TaaRey drama headed in our direction. Check out this article for more...
As soon as Taani reaches St Louis, she decides to have a meeting with the D3 team and tell them about it. Rey sees Taani and tries to talk to her. Taani notices his change in outfit but doesn't say anything. Instead she tells him that she something very important to do. She sends a message to each team member asking them to meet her immediately. Sharon and Swayam get the message and wonder what Taani has for them. They reluctantly make their way to the meeting. Once there, all the team members wonder what Taani has to tell them. The ask Aashi since she is CS if she knows anything. But even she denies knowing why Taani asked them to meet with her.
Finally Taani comes in and tells the D3 gang about the meeting. She tells them that one of the finalists had to withdraw because of some personal problems. She also tells the team that the judge who gave them a lower score was asked to step down. She assures the team that he will no longer be judging any NDC event. The team is excited to hear this but feel like their excitement is useless as they are no longer part of NDC. That's when the VP steps in and tells the team that because of Taani's brilliant presentation, St Louis has secured a spot in the NDC finals! The team is overjoyed when they hear that they are back in NDC. Once everything settles down, Simmi points out that the dates for Jashn and NDC clash. Sharon gets worried and wonders how she'll manage everything. Swayam assures her that things will fall into place.
Rey is beyond happy with all the good news. He pulls Taani aside and tells her that he has something to tell her. He pulls out a rose from his jacket and tells Taani that he loves her. Taani accepts the rose but crushes it much to Rey's surprise. Rey doesn't give up hope and pulls her into the rehearsal hall and does a whole song and dance routine for her. When Taani finally has enough of his shenanigans, she tells him that she doesn't have any feelings for him anymore. She tells him that he doesn't mean anything to her so she can't have any feelings for him. Rey is hurt and tries to explain to her that the breakup was fake but Taani misunderstands him and leaves the room is disgust.
Will Rey be able to win Taani back? Or will Taani close her heart to Rey forever? All we can do is wait and watch...
Rey decides that he needs to do something to get Taani's attention. He decides to get a makeover. He changes his outfit and goes to college hoping that Taani notices him. Meanwhile, Swayam, Sharon and the rest of the D3 gang wait for their next lecture. The girls talk about Jashn. Neha asks Sharon if she has spoken to Swayam recently. Sharon instantly gets conscious and tells Neha that she has no reason to talk to Swayam. Simmi notices Sharon's odd behavior and tells her to calm down. She explains that Neha wanted to know if Swayam talked to her about the choreography for Jashn. Swayam notices Sharon's outburst too and tells her that if she doesn't relax, everyone will find out about their relationship.
Rey makes an appearance. The D3 team notice his new and improved look and complement him. Swayam wonders why he decides to change midway and Rey tells him that it is all for Taani. Swayam gives him his blessing. Taani meets with the NDC officials. She notices the General Secretaries of two other colleges in the meeting as well. The officials tell them that one of the finalists had to drop out due to some personal issues and they now have a space available in the NDC finals. The official asks each of the GSs to make a case for their team and prove that they deserve to be in the finals of NDC. Taani makes her case by showing the officials the variety of performances that St Louis has showcased thus far. Meanwhile, the D3 team rehearse for Jashn. They are happy with their routine and decide to head to the cafeteria.
While the group makes their way to the cafeteria, Swayam tells Sharon that he needs to talk to her. When Sharon refuses, he pulls her in an empty class. Swayam finally tells Sharon how he feels about her. Sharon is happy to hear about Swayam's feelings and expresses her happiness. Swayam is overjoyed to finally be in a relationship with Sharon, the girl of his dreams. Sharon in her happiness declares that she wants to tell everyone about their relationship. Swayam tells her to wait. He tells her that in the past things haven't always been rosy for them. Sharon understands his sentiments and thanks him for being so patient with her. I've got to say this was the most romantic SwaRon moment ever! VruShan have amazing chemistry and I'm so glad that they are able to bring the romance back to SwaRon!
Taani makes her way to St Louis and wonders about the meeting. She decides to tell the D3 gang about the meeting as soon as possible.
The entire gang sing a song while the boys wonder if Rey and Taani are back together. Rey doesn't say anything. Meanwhile, the professor appears and lecture begins. Rey wonders why Taani isn't in class. Swayam and Sharon on the other hand are too busy staring at each other to notice anything else around them! Rey tries to get Swayam'a attention but in vain. Finally he writes Swayam a not asking him if he knows why Taani isn't in class. Swayam thinks Sharon wrote him the note but is disappointed when he opens it and reads it. He tells Rey that he doesn't know why Taani isn't in class and continues to focus his attention on Sharon. Finally class ends and everyone walks towards the cafeteria.
Taani on the other hand, was meeting with the VP. The VP tells her that he got a call from the NDC authorities. They asked that Taani, being the GS of the college, represent the team at a meeting which was going to be held at their offices. Taani wonders what the meeting is going to be about. The VP tells her that they did not divulge any information and mentioned that she will find out the agenda only when she gets there. Taani wonders if they want to meet with her because of the blog post on the college website. Taani assures the VP that if the meeting is about her blog post, she will make it clear that it was her opinion and not that of the college. The VP advises Taani to keep her emotions under control when she speaks with the NDC authorities. Finally, he makes a comment about how similar she is to Rey. He tells her that both of them are aggressive as a GS.
After the meeting, Taani ponders about the VP's comment. She wonders how and when she became like Rey. She realizes that she was always a bit like Rey but never truly acknowledged it. While she is deep in thought, Rey spots her. He realizes he is alone and decides that he should tells her how he truly feels about her. Just when he starts walking towards her, the entire gang materialize. They congratulate Taani about her brave blog post. The all thank her for all of her efforts. Rey gives Swayam a look and Swayam understands. Swayam reminds the team that they shouldn't waste any time and start rehearsals for Jashn. Although the team agrees and starts making their way to the rehearsal hall, they are shocked that Swayam has agreed to perform. Bharat makes a comment about how everything is weird since Rey is running after Taani and Swayam has agreed to perform!
Rey walks around the college with Taani as she does her duties. He wonders how and when he will finally be able to tell her the truth. Taani notices Rey walking with her and finally asks him if he has something to tell her. Rey asks her why she bunked class. Taani tells him that she was in a meeting with the VP. She also tells him that she has to go for a meeting with the NDC officials. Rey tells her not to be afraid and if they ask her about the blog, she should lie. Taani replies that she isn't afraid and she will speak the truth if questioned. Rey marvels at how strong Taani has become. He even tells her that she's changed. Taani tells him that breaking up with him was the best decision of her life and leaves for her meeting. Rey watches her leave and wonders if he lost Taani for good. Will Taani forgive Rey? Will TaaRey get back together?
Suvreen doesn't tell Yuvraj about what happened the previous night. She figures that telling him the truth would only upset him and ruin their romantic lunch date. Instead she tells him that she loves him and really appreciates what he's done for her. Yuvraj tells her that he loves her too and she doesn't have to be formal with him. After a while he tells her that he has to meet with his landlord and leaves. Meanwhile, Sony and Maddy have lunch together. Sony asks him all sorts of personal questions which fluster him! It was really funny to see Maddy getting flustered! I'm really liking Maddy and Sony together. They are funny and I love the way Sony's bindas attitude makes Maddy uncomfortable!
At the office, Jolly meets with Rohan, Geeti and Vikram. He shows them the outfits that he came up with for Simran Maniksha's wedding. He asks for Rohan's opinion on the outfits. Rohan tells him that they are all very beautiful. Vikram too agrees. Geeti joins the meeting late. When Jolly sees Geeti, he asks her to try out one of the outfits so that they can truly appreciate the designs. Geeti wears the outfits but doesn't seem to pay attention to what Jolly says during the rest of the meeting. She looks lost and sad. Jolly suggests some minor changes to the outfit which the boys take note of. Finally, Jolly asks Geeti to change back. Geeti leaves to change but stops and starts crying.
Suvreen comes back home and sees Sony's pictures all over the place. She is very impressed by the pictures and admires them. She tells Sony that she wants to show them to Maddy but Sony tells her that Maddy was the one who took them. Suvreen is surprised by Maddy's gesture. She later tells Sony that the pictures are just one step. The next step is to give Sony a makeover. She gives Sony some clothes that she got for her. She later does Sony's makeup and styles her outfit. Sony is very happy with what Suvreen does. Suvreen is glad to see Sony become confident once again. She hopes for the best for Sony.
Madhura comes to the office the next day and tries out an elegant Saree. RC, Ira, Suvreen and Alisha all wait anxiously for her reaction. When they see her, they are all awestruck. She looks absolutely gorgeous in the Saree. Finally, she tells them that she loves it! RC and Ira are overjoyed and so are Suvreen and Alisha. Madhura then apologizes to Ira for her rude behavior and tells her that it was a plan by RC. She asks all the other intern to join them and apologizes to them. She tells them that she is not a moody celebrity as RC had previously mentioned. She was just acting like that as per RC's request. Before she leaves, she congratulates Suvreen for her idea and tells her to always speak her mind. Alisha looks on as once again Suvreen steals her thunder! Way to go Suvreen!
Suvreen is very happy for being recognized by a celebrity like Madhura Naik! When Lovely calls Suvreen for the money, Suvreen tells her mom that she doesn't have to thank her. She tells her mom that transferring the money makes her feel like she is doing something for her parents who have done so much for her. Lovely gets emotional when she hears Suvreen say these things. Just when she's about to tell her about Baldev's situation, she stops herself and decides that Suvreen doesn't have to know these things. What will Suvreen do when she finds out about Baldev's job?
Madhura asks for Suvreen opinion despite Ira disapproval. Suvreen explains that a Saree would be the appropriate choice because in a sea of gowns, an elegant Saree will stand out. She uses RC's explanation and states that a gown would be a trend follower while a Saree would be a trendsetter. RC is very impressed by Suvreen's idea. Ira, although impressed by Suvreen's idea, does not hide her disapproval. Madhura considers Suvreen's idea and asks RC what he thinks about it. When RC agrees, Madhura green lights the idea to Alisha's disappointment. Suvreen is very excited to see that a star like Madhura Naik loved her idea. Meanwhile, Maddy takes Sony for a drive and tells her to look for good locations to click pictures. He takes her all over the place and takes pictures of her in various different settings. Sony wonders how the pictures will turn out since the locations are not that ideal but Maddy assures her that he knows what he is doing. All the while Sony teases him and tries to find out more about him.
At the office, Rohan can't seem to find his notes from the briefing with Jolly the previous day. He asks Vikram for the notes but he tells him that he doesn't have it anymore. Rohan then asks Geeti for the notes but she yells at him and leaves in the room in tears. Rohan wonders if there is something going on between Vikram and Geeti. He talk to Preeti about it. Preeti tells him that what they are going through is normal. She explains to him that in a relationship there are several stages. She suggests that Vikram and Geeti in the second stage of their relationship, where Geeti gets upset and Vikram has to pacify her. Rohan is impressed with Preeti's insight on relationships. Just then Preeti gets a bouquet of roses and a card. She pretends that they are from her imaginary boyfriend Raj. She tells Rohan that she pretended to be upset so that Raj could pamper her with gifts.
Later that day, Preeti gives Suvreen a note. Yuvraj arranges for a surprise lunch on the roof of Suvreen's office and sends the note to her office. When Suvreen makes her way to the roof, she is pleasantly surprised by Yuvi's gesture. They both spend some much needed time together and proclaim their love for each other. Suvreen thinks about tells Yuvraj about what happened the previous night. Will Suvreen tells Yuvraj that she got drunk with Sony and ended up partying with Maddy?
Taani asks Aashi to read a blog post on the college website. The blog post mentions that the St Louis dance team lost by one point. The post also accuses a judge of being partial and against the St Louis team from the start. After reading the post, Aashi asks Taani if they are allowed to have such a post on the college website. She also asks Taani who wrote the post. Taani tells Aashi that she wrote the post and wanted to do something to make the NDC officials aware of the injustice that the team has to face. Aashi tells Taani that she accomplished her mission as the post already got more that 20,000 comments and views.
Later in the day, the VP summons Rey and Taani in his cabin for an important meeting. As soon as they enter the cabin, the VP goes off on Rey. He tells him that just because St Louis lost that does not give him the license to express his opinions on the college website. Rey wonders what the VP is talking about. That's when Taani steps in and tells the VP that the blog post was her idea. She tells the VP that she was able to find out why St Louis was disqualified from NDC. She also tells the VP that she was merely posting the truth and wanted to make sure that the NDC officials are aware of the seriousness of the matter. She apologizes for causing the VP tension but does not apologize for putting up the post. Rey watches and listens as Taani takes up the team's defeat.
After the meeting, Rey tells Taani that he is really impressed with all of her efforts. He tells her that she is doing a great job fighting for the team. Taani rudely dismisses Rey by telling him that she is merely doing her job as she is the GS after all. After Taani leaves, Rey decides that now that Taani is finally focusing on her career and expressing her opinions, his mission is successful. He decides to tell Taani about his intentions behind the breakup and get back together. The next morning, Rey and Swayam both get ready for college. They both have a big day ahead of them. Swayam will be meeting Sharon for the first time after she professed her love for him and Rey will finally be telling Taani the truth. Rey meets Swayam at college and tells him that he will be confessing his love for Taani. Swayam gets excited and give him his blessing!
Meanwhile at college, Sharon puts on the perfume that Swayam gave her under the pretense of being her secret admirer. I still wonder how she didn't figure out that Swayam was a her secret admirer. Anyway, as Sharon gets all prepped, Taani makes her way to meet with the VP. He tells her that he got a call from the NDC authorities asking Taani to meet with them. Taani wonders what the meeting would be about and the VP tells her that they will only talk to her. Rey and Swayam make their way to class and see the entire gang except for Sharon and Taani. When Sharon appears, Swayam steps forward to talk to her and fumbles! It's so cute when he fumbles! Rey sings a song for the two of them while the rest of the gang think that he is back with Taani.
I have a feeling that Taani will not be running into Rey's open arms anytime soon. Homegirl was really hurt when Rey broke up with her and won't accept his I-just-wanted-to-make-you-a-better-person speech. Besides, whenever TaaRey are together, SwaRon have problems so now that SwaRon are finally together, TaaRey just automatically have to have problems...
Sharon goes to meet Swayam, more specifically Mr. Shikhawat and finally answer his question. Swayam greets her at the door and is surprised to see her. He assumes that she is there to meet Taani and tells her that Taani isn't home. He also tells her that Taani probably won't be home in a while. Sharon wonders why Swayam is telling her about Taani's whereabouts. She finally tells him that she came to meet him. She tells him that she was able to get the D3 team into Jashn. Swayam is excited. Sharon also tells Swayam that he will have to perform with the team and can't use his shoulder as an excuse to stay away. When Swayam protests, Sharon gives him the latest medical reports and tells him that his shoulder is healing well.
She finally tells Swayam that he can't make any more excuses. Swayam notices Sharon looking around the place and asks her if she is looking for something. Sharon tells him that she needs to speak to Mr. Shikhawat. Swayam absently tells her that he is downstairs. When Sharon makes her way down, Swayam realizes what he said and runs out to stop her. He hopes that Sharon doesn't create a scene again! He runs after her but she doesn't listen to him. Sharon finally makes her way to Mr. Shikhawat's room. Mr. Shikhawat is surprised to see Sharon. Swayam finally catches up to Sharon. Mr. Shikhawat tells Sharon that Swayam's room is upstairs. Sharon tells him that she came to answer his question.
Mr. Shikhawat and Swayam both seem confused. Sharon reminds him of his question about her relationship with Swayam. Sharon tells Mr. Shikhawat that she doesn't know about the relationship that she shares with Swayam but she loves him! Finally! After two long years of torture and SwaRon drama, Sharon finally admits her feelings and does so in true Sharon - The diva style! Mr. Shikhawat is shocked by what Sharon said. Swayam looks in disbelief as Sharon expresses her love for him. Sharon goes on to tell Mr. Shikhawat that Swayam is very special and there is no one like him. She also tells him that when she can understand how special Swayam is, why his own father can't see that. Everyone in the room just stares at Sharon.
After she says what she has to say, Sharon walks out the place and goes to meet Rey. She happily tells Rey that she finally confessed her true feelings for Swayam. Rey gets excited and asks her what happened. When she tells him, he asks her why she didn't tell Swayam rather than telling his father. Sharon tells him that she was shy and telling his father seemed like a better idea because she wanted to answer his question. Rey is happy for Sharon and Swayam as they are finally going to be together! Soon after Sharon leaves, Swayam comes to visit Rey. Rey pretends to guess what happened and stuns Swayam with his correct guesses. Finally Swayam realizes that Sharon met with Rey and told him what happened. He asks Rey if he should meet Sharon right away or wait till college.
While Rey suggests that Swayam meet Sharon at college the next day, Sharon hopes that Swayam will come to meet her right away. She hopes that he will come in from her window, just like old times. Swayam on the other hand follows Rey's advice and doesn't go to meet Sharon right away. The next morning, he calls Rey and asks him for suggestion about what to wear. Rey in his sleepy state of mind tells Swayam that Sharon likes him the way he is so he shouldn't do anything special. Sharon on the other hand decides that she needs to look extra special since it is officially the first day she is a 'couple' with Swayam. Cuteness overload! I'm loving it!
Taani informs the St Louis Dance Team that they were disqualified from the NDC finals just by one mark. The team to shocked to hear this but they are happy to see that Taani took the time to find out why they were disqualified. Rey encourages the team and tells them that they should move forward and use their loss at NDC as a lesson. The team agree. He also reminds them that they have to start preparing for Jashn so he tells everyone to meet at the rehearsal hall. The team hurriedly make their way to the rehearsal hall. They dance together and enjoy themselves. Bharat stops everyone when he sees Swayam dancing freely. All of the other team members stop and watch happily as Swayam dances. They are happy to see him out of him slump.
Taani calls Rey and asks him to meet her. Rey wonders what Taani wants to discuss with him. Taani asks him if he ever went against the authorities. Rey wonders what she has planned and asks her what she wants to do. Taani tells him that she plans on filing an official complaint against the NDC judge. Rey advices Taani not to take such a step. He tells her that taking such action will make St Louis look desperate. He reminds her that the team has finally gotten over the loss and moving forward as per VP sir's advice. Regardless, Taani still thinks that her decision is right and decides to move forward. Rey is proud to see that Taani is so concerned about everyone's careers. He is very glad to see that his plan is working.
Sharon visits Rey and tells him that she was able to get back their invitation to participate in Jashn. Rey is excited! He asks her if informed the other team members yet. Sharon tells her that the deal was just finalized and he was the first person to know. Rey suggests that she tell Swayam about Jashn first. He tells Sharon that if Swayam backs out, the team will go for a toss so she should talk to him first and convince him to dance. Sharon wonders if it is too late to meet Swayam to which Rey teases her about her previous visit. Sharon is scared to face Swayam's dad again and expresses her fear to Rey. Rey encourages her and tells her that she can't hide from him. Sharon finally decides to meet with Swayam and makes her way to his place.
Swayam greets her at the door and is surprised to see her at his house. He asks her if she came to meet Taani. When Sharon doesn't answer, Swayam tells her that Taani isn't home yet. Sharon gets irritated and asks him why he's telling her about Taani's whereabouts. She finally tells him that she came to meet him.
So will Sharon finally confess to Swayam how she feels about him?
How awesome is this?! All of the Channel [V] stars are going to be hanging out together and having loads of fun! Can't wait to see this! Wonder if this is going to be another mega-crossover episode?!
Maddy is surprised to see Suvreen drunk! He is amused by the things that Sony and Suvreen say about him in their drunken state. Sony asks him if he has any wine but he refuses. Sony gets upset. Maddy tries to pacify her by telling her that he makes good Long Island Ices Teas. Suvreen and Sony agree to drink Long Island Iced Teas instead. Maddy joins the girls and drinks with them too. Sony asks Maddy to make a portfolio for her and agrees in his drunken state. They dance, party and spend most of the night at Maddy's apartment.
The next morning Suvreen wakes up with a killer headache! She wonders what happened the previous night. Yuvraj calls her and asks her if she is okay. She tells him about Jatin and Sony. Yuvraj tells her to got to her office later but Suvreen insists that she to be there early because Madhura is supposed to be coming to their office later in the day. Yuvraj makes Suvreen realize that she is already late for office. Suvreen hurriedly hangs up and gets ready. That's when she finally sees RC's message about the meeting with Madhura in the morning. Maddy wakes up in his apartment and is confused about what happened the previous night. He looks at the pictures on his camera is ashamed. He makes his way to Sony's apartment and tells her that he will take pictures of her only if she gets ready in the next 30 minutes. Sony is ecstatic and gets ready as fast as she can. Meanwhile at the office, Alisha tries to poison Ira against Suvreen by making comments about her tardiness. RC joins them and starts the discussion. Suvreen joins in a bit later and apologizes for her lateness.
The interns all get ready for Madhura's arrival. Rohan hopes that he makes a good impression while Vikram changes his outfit and practices some dialogues to impress Madhura. Alisha boasts about her mother's closeness to Madhura to Geeti. RC meets with the interns and warns them to be prepared. He also tells them that Madhura can be a bit moody so they should watch out. He especially warns Preeti that he doesn't want any goof-ups. All the interns brace themselves. Madhura arrives but she bumps into Rohan at door. She yells at him and creates a scene. All the interns watch in amusement. She later makes her way to Preeti. Preeti, dumbfounded by what just happened, doesn't say anything which irritates Madhura even more. Suvreen takes over and leads Madhura to RC's office. Alisha tries to show off by telling Madhura that she is Raveena Dewan's daughter but Madhura just ignores her much to Suvreen's amusement!
Ira wonders how she will face Madhura after all these years. Ira, RC and Madhura apparently went to college together. Ira and Madhura were competitors in college. I'm guessing Ira must have done or said some bitter things to Madhura in the past. Finally when Madhura arrives, she tries to be cordial with her but Madhura ignores her and speaks only to RC. RC reminds Madhura about Ira and Madhura finally acknowledges her. RC shows her the gown that he has planned for her for Cannes and Madhura seems impressed by it. RC tells her that it was Ira's idea. Mudhura notices Suvreen's disapproval and asks her for her opinion. Ira tries discouraging Suvreen but Madhura still asks her Suvreen's input on the design. What will Suvreen say?
As I said yesterday, Sharon daydreams about Swayam! It's hilarious seeing Sharon daydreaming about Swayam rather than the other way around. Swayam opens the door and Sharon loses her cool. She gets into the house on the pretense that she's there to talk to Taani. Swayam tells her that Taani isn't home. He asks her if she wants to leave a message for Taani. Sharon tells her that she wanted to tell Taani that the D3 team is going to participate in Jashn. Sharon also tells Swayam that even he will be performing at the event. Swayam refuses telling her that he doesn't want to perform until his injury heals completely. Sharon gives Swayam the doctor's reports and tells Swayam that he just has to put an ice pack on his shoulder and it will get better but Swayam still refuses.
Mr. Shikhawat overhears Sharon. He makes a comment about Swayam being scared and weak. Sharon once again loses her cool and questions Mr. Shikhawat. She asks him why he supports Taani but doesn't support his own son. Mr. Shikhawat questions Sharon asking her why she keeps defending Swayam. He also asks her who she is to him. Sharon is dumbfounded by his question. Just when she starts to answer him, Swayam interrupts her and asks her to leave. She leaves. Mr. Shikhawat tells Swayam that he likes Sharon. He admires her guts. Swayam is surprised that his father actually likes Sharon. So does that mean that daddy dearest approves?!
Sharon bumps into Taani on her way out. She keeps mumbling to herself trying to figure out how to answer Mr. Shikhawat's question. Taani interrupts her and Sharon realizes that she's acting weird. She tells Taani that she'll meet her at college and leaves. Sharon goes to Rey's place. She is upset at Mr. Skikhawat and punches poor Rey! Rey helps her calm down and asks her why she is so upset. Sharon tells him everything that happened. Rey laughs at her and pulls her leg for going to meeting Swayam under the pretense of meeting Taani. I've got to say it was really nice having a ShaRey scene after so long! They are so cute together. I like how Rey always pulls Sharon's leg! I really like their friendship and I like that there is no love angle in this relationship at all.
The next morning Taani calls all the St Louis Dance Team members for an urgent meeting. Rey figures Taani found out why the St. Louis team was disqualified and is impressed by her efforts. Taani tells the team that she has good news and bad news for them. Wonder what the news is?
Ira confronts Jolly about his dislike of RC. Jolly tells her that he doesn't have a problem with RC. Instead he doesn't understand why Ira can't see that RC is not reciprocating her feelings. Ira is surprised that Jolly knows about her feelings for RC. Jolly advices her to act pricey so that RC learns to appreciate her. Suvreen gets back home and is shocked to see Sony slumped on the couch. She wonders what happened and tries to talk to Sony. Sony starts crying and tells her that she was right about Jatin. She tells Suvreen that Jatin took advantage of her. Suvreen consoles Sony but she doesn't feel better. Finally Sony grabs a bottle of wine and tells Suvreen that it is the only thing that will make her feel better. She forces Suvreen to drink with her.
Meanwhile, RC tries calling Ira but she ignores his call. She thinks back to all that happened between them and decides to follow Jolly's advice. RC wanted to talk to her about the meeting with Madhura. He wanted to discuss some important details with her. When she doesn't respond, he sends a message to Alisha, Suvreen and Ira about the meeting. After a while when none of the girls respond, he wonders what's happening with them. Alisha is out partying with her friends and doesn't notice her phone blinking. Suvreen is drinking with Sony and doesn't notice that she's got a message either.
Sony tells Suvreen about the anger that feels for Jatin. Suvreen suggests that she move on and forget about him. Sony tells her that she even gave him money. Suvreen is surprised. She draws a picture of Jatin and asks Sony to burn it. Sony burns it but still doesn't feel better. She tells Suvreen that she needs more wine. Suvreen is drunk and looks at the wine glass and is mesmerized by it! Sony figures out that Maddy probably has some wine. She goes to his apartment and starts looking for wine. Maddy watches in amusement as Sony stumbles all over the place. Sony tells him that Suvreen and her need some wine. Maddy is amused to see a drunk Suvreen.
Saas-Bahu sagas. The name just says it all. The trend of saas-bahu sagas is what made the Indian TV industry what is it today. What started out as educational, informative, satirical or even comedy shows all melded together and gave rise to the saas-bahu sagas. The sagas of today have a bit of everything - romance, drama, tragedy and comedy. Apart from that, the one aspect of these shows that provides the most entertainment would be the of all dhamakedar dialogue bazi between the saas and the bahu. Who could forget the first time Tulsi stood up to her saas? Those dialogues were just epic! I will not deny that saas-bahu sagas were once a novel concept. It had never been explored on TV before and I have to applaud Ekta Kapoor for exploring every aspect of the relationship and its consequences. But year after year when every show on TV became a version of a saas-bahu saga, things became a bit repetitive and predictable.
I personally feel like there are no more twists and turns left to explore! Every version of the same twist has been used in a previous show and no matter how creative the writers think they are getting, the story is still predictable. Nonetheless, I will not deny that the shows are highly addictive. For someone who has watched these shows for a long time these shows no longer have anything new to offer but a person who is new to these types of shows, I have complied helpful list that will help you navigate these treacherous waters that is the Indian TV Daily Soap! I've divided the plot devices into two main categories - story related and character related. The story related plot devices can be used with any kind of show, not necessarily saas-bahu sagas, and deal with the overall story of the show. The character related plot devices are used for a particular character, most probably the main character.

Flashback
In a flashback, one of the characters, preferably an older and wiser character, talks about the past in the present. The main character of these shows tends to be a younger individual who doesn't seem to understand certain things, like a certain custom that the family practices or certain relationships that no longer exist. In this situation, the elder of the family goes into a flashback to explain why things are the way they are. Their hope is that the younger individual will either maintain the tradition or rebel against it and make things different depending on the main theme of the show. For example, the saas could be talking to her bahu about her experiences as a bahu. Most of the time this device is used to explain present circumstances.
Leap
Tulsi in the beginning...
Tulsi towards the end...
A leap basically translates into a time leap forward in the story. For most saas-bahu sagas, the time leap translates into introducing the audience to the next generation. The leap helps the writes to move the story forward now that they have a dozen or so new characters to play with. Leaps are sometimes beneficial but they can also backfire if not dealt with appropriately. Ekta Kapoor is famous for her leaps forward when things get rocky on her shows. Some characters are written off but the main characters never die! Remember Baa from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, she was probably more than 300 years old when her character was finally written off the show! They may get a bit gray but they are still around. Sometimes they may even look younger than their adult children but that's just for the picky people to worry about! I have lost count of all the shows that I have watched with leaps in them!

Assumed Death
Just when things are fine and dandy, something horrible happens. The hero or the heroine of the story gets into a major accident of some sort. Their remains are never found but some part of their clothing or belonging gets left behind. Most of the time the police suggests that the accident was just too severe for any of the individuals involved to have survived it. This forces the family to assume that their bahu or damaad has perished in the accident. Cue the tears, emotional background music, flashbacks and a whole lot of drama. Who can forget the mayhem that took over India when Mihir Virani was assumed to be dead?
Rebirth aka Punar Janam
Sometimes, things just don't go to well for our main leads the first time around. They go up against the villain and are defeated. But just when the villain thinks he or she has the upper hand, our hero and/or heroine is reborn Aha! And thus good always prevails over evil in TVdom and filmdom. Now I must be honest and state that most regular saas-bahu sagas don't really use this plot device. Even then I couldn't ignore this character related plot device. One example of this plot device being used would be the rebirth of Shaina and Kunal in Kahin Kissii Roz.
Memory Loss or Short-term/Long-term Amnesia
When things are going well for the hero and the heroine, something has to happen to keep viewers engaged. Now if there story does not involve the entry of a parallel lead to spice things up between the lead pair, the writers resort to another tried and test formula - memory loss. What else can prove that the love the hero and heroine share for each other transcends memory loss? Now this problem can be resolved in two ways - the person regains their memory, in which case everything is fine and dandy again or the person does not regain their memory but end up falling for their original love interest. In Dill Mill Gayye, Armaan meets with an accident and as a result ends up losing his memory. He wonders about his past life and when he finds out that he was in love with Riddhima, he ends up falling for her again.
Same Face But Different Person aka Humshakal
This plot device goes along with assumed death. Now it so happens that the writers don't want to reveal what happened to the main character. In such a situation when the humshakal device is used in conjunction with assumed death. To add to the drama, a look-alike enters the life of the partner. At first the partner assumes that the look-alike is their loved one. A few episodes later when they realize that the look-alike is not their loved one they are devastated. A few more episodes later, they come to the conclusion that the look-alike is indeed their loved one who is suffering from memory loss. Some more episodes later, the partner finally realizes that the look-alike is not their loved one after all. At this junction, two things can happen either the loved one is actually no more and the story moves forwards with the look-alike or the loved one is alive somewhere and in the meanwhile the look-alike has fallen for the partner. See the drama potential of this plot device?!
Plastic Surgery aka Same Person But Different Face
This one is a rather creative plot device to introduce a new actor playing a certain character. Sometimes, the actors playing a certain part get tired of playing the character for a long time. Sometimes, they want a raise but don't get it. Some other times, they get other lucrative offers but can't say yes because they are bound to a certain show. In these situations, the original actor playing the part leaves the show and a new actor is brought in. In saas-bahu sagas where the emphasis is on drama, the new actor is introduced in this dhamakedar way. There is always some sort of accident which leaves the character unrecognizable. Then the long process of healing begins and in the end viola - a new face!
Now it is safe to say that these are not the only plot devices that are employed in saas-bahu sagas but you can be assured that these are the most popular ones nonetheless. Now that I have given you all the tools you need to navigate the trecherous world of saas-bahu sagas, have a wonderful time watching them and being sucked into their twisted world!
Suvreen is surprised to see Yuvraj waiting outside her apartment door. She knows that Yuvraj would get very upset if he saw her coming out of Maddy's apartment. So she climbs out the window and makes her way to her apartment. She finally opens the door and Yuvraj falls on her. He apologizes to her for behaving badly at the party and embarrassing her in front of all her peers. Suvreen accepts his apology. Yuvraj tells Suvreen that he didn't gift her the dress. He tells Suvreen that Maddy gifted her the dress. Suvreen apologizes and tells him that if she knew Maddy gifted her the dress, she wouldn't have worn it.
Later when Suvreen tries to make something for dinner, Yuvraj throws some food at her. Both of them engage in a epic food fight. It's so nice seeing them be carefree again!

Taani goes to the NDC office to meet with the person in-charge of the whole thing. She asks him why St. Louis College was disqualified. When he refuses to answer her questions, she tells him that no matter what she will find out the truth. If he does not give her the answers she is looking for, she will use technology to find out if the results for the contest were rigged against St. Louis. Taani sure did get her fire back! Can't wait to find out why St. Louis is no longer in NDC. For some reason I have a feeling that Mr. Shikhawat was involved in some way.
The D3 gang sit in the rehearsal hall moping. That's when Mr. Shikhawat calls Swayam. Sharon notices Swayam's phone vibrating and turns it off when she sees that Mr. Shikhawat is calling.

Sharon takes the phone from Swayam and berates Mr. Shikhawat for being so harsh with his son. She defends him to his dad while the rest of the team watch in surprise. After she hangs up, Swayam asks her why she created a scene.
Simmi suggests that the team hang out in the cafeteria. Rey pulls Swayam aside and tries to explain Sharon's actions. He makes Swayam understand that the reason why Sharon is acting the way she is is because she loves him. Swayam is surprised to find out that Sharon actually loves him. Rey encourages him to move forward and confess his true feelings to her. ReYam finally have a semi comedy scene after ages! Meanwhile, Simmi confronts Sharon about her feelings for Swayam. Sharon admits that she has feelings for Swayam. She also tells Simmi that until the team performs at another event, Swayam will not get out his slump. She comes up with the idea of getting the team back into Jashn and makes Simmi promise that she will not tell anyone else about their plan.
Later, Sharon goes to meet Swayam at his house. Swayam open the door and is surprised to see her. He asks her if she has finally fallen in love with him. Sharon nods! I have a feeling this is another one of Sharon's daydreams about Swayam! The upcoming episode seems like a firecracker. Wonder how SwaRon's love story will move forward.
The D3 team wonder what the result for NDC will be. They spend time in the cafeteria. Rey and Sharon join the team after a while. Neha tells Simmi about Aashi liking Swayam. Sharon overhears her and wonders why Aashi still likes Swayam. Sharon seemed so jealous! It was hilarious. Taani calls Swayam and asks him to get the team to her office. The team rushes to meet with Taani. Taani informs them that their team did not qualify for the NDC finals. The team is shocked to find out the results. Swayam blames himself for their defeat. Taani watches in shock as Swayam takes the blame for the defeat. She tells the team that Swayam's fall was not the reason why the St Louis team was disqualified. She vows to find out the reason why the team was disqualified.
Swayam meets with the VP and tells him that he is the cause of the St Louis team not making it to the NDC finals. He tells the VP that he should not have participated in the NDC semis with his injury. He apologizes for letting the VP down and takes full responsibility for their loss. Just then the rest of the team walk in. Sharon tells the VP not to listen to Swayam as he is not responsible for their loss. Rey joins in and tells the VP that the team as a whole probably did not perform at the level of the other participants. The VP is impressed with the team spirit and congratulates the team for standing together. He also tells Swayam that his act was one of bravery rather than foolishness. He commends Swayam for working hard despite his injury.
Nilesh wonders if the judge from the Dance Camp is responsible for their defeat. He apologizes to the team for messing with the judge in the first place. He considers himself as the reason why St Louis is no longer in the running. The rest of the team members make him understand that it is not his fault. The VP tells all of them to learn from this experience and grow. He tells them that he is very impressed with the team spirit but is unhappy as they will no longer be a part of NDC.
Taani goes to meet the organizers of NDC. The organizer tells her that he is meeting her because she came with Mr. Shikhawat's reference. He wonders what he can do to help her. Taani asks him why the St Louis team was disqualifies from NDC. Will Taani be able to find out the reason why St Louis is out of NDC? Who is responsible for this - Swayam or Nilesh? I have a feeling that Mr. Shikhawat has something to do with this. We'll have to wait and watch...

Jolly overhears their conversation and expresses his displeasure. Ira runs after Jolly and pleads with him to help her out. She makes him understand that Iris is very important for RC and RC is very important to her. Jolly finally agrees. After Ira leaves, Jolly vows to makes Iris a Shoney company and remove RC from the picture. Ouch! RC was right in not trusting Jolly. Wonder what Ira's reaction will be when she finds out what her little bro is plotting behind her back.
Suvreen is busy researching Madhura Naik while Alisha talks on her phone. Alisha watches as Suvreen is busy with her work and laughs at her. She tells Suvreen that Madhura is a big fan of her mother, Mrs. Dewan. So her mother naturally has all the scoop on her. Suvreen gets irritated when Alisha tells her that her mother is sending her some tips on Madhura but smiles and thanks Alisha for her contribution.

Right before she leaves work Suvreen transfers money to her parents.
Suvreen is very happy when she leaves work. She got her first salary, transfered money to her parents and got the upper hand when Alisha tried to mess with her. When Suvreen gets to her apartment, she realizes that she doesn't have the keys. Samar aka Maddy sees her standing outside and asks her to stay at his place until Sony comes. Suvreen tells him that she'll wait for Sony but he throws his keys at her and leaves. Suvreen reluctantly goes into Maddy's apartment and looks around the place. She admires his work. After a while, her phone rings and it is Yuvraj. He tells her that he is standing outside her apartment and wants to set things right with her. Suvreen is surprised and doesn't know what to do. She thinks that Yuvraj will get upset if she comes out of Maddy's apartment. What will Suvreen do now?
When the doctor tells the D3 gang that only one person can see Swayam, Rey asks Sharon to go. Sharon goes in and watches on as Swayam rests. When Swayam sees her, he tries to move but he puts pressure on his shoulder. Sharon tries to pacify him. He asks her why she came. She tells him that she wanted to see how he was doing. Swayam asks her to leave and send Rey in instead. Sharon asks him why he's acting differently with her. Swayam finally tells her how he feels. He tells her that is tired of being toyed with constantly. He does not want to be switched on and off based on her moods. He also tells her that he doesn't trust himself when he is around her. Sharon is shocked at Swayam's response and leaves the room.
Meanwhile, Taani argues with Rey. She asks him why she sent Sharon in to see Swayam. Rey lies and tells her that Sharon wanted to talk to Swayam about a secret event. Taani gets even more upset when she hears about the so called secret event. She starts grilling Rey about the specifics of the secret event, when Sharon comes by and tells them that Swayam wants to talk to Rey. Rey is happy to leave and rushes to see Swayam. When he enters the room, he sees Swayam resting. Swayam finally opens his eyes and is happy to see Rey. Rey apologizes to Swayam for making him dance. Swayam tells him that he didn't do anything wrong. After all the seriousness, ReYam share a good laugh. Finally Rey asks Swayam why he let Sharon out. Swayam tells him that he doesn't want to make any more mistakes with Sharon. What does that mean? Does that mean Swayam doesn't want to be in a relationship with Sharon anymore? Does that mean he wants Sharon to move forward? I wonder what's next for SwaRon.
Taani questions Sharon about the secret event. When Sharon is confused by her questions, Taani figures out that there is no such event. Rey just made that story up so that he could send Sharon in to see Swayam first. Taani realizes that Rey understands everyone's problems. She wonders why he wasn't able to understand her. Oh Taani! Rey understands you the best. He knows what's good for you. No wonder he is doing all of this. I can't wait till when Taani finds out the truth and truly appreciates Rey. I can only imagine how much more Taani will love Rey for doing what he did.
Sharon thinks about what Swayam said to her. She wonders what made him act the way he did. She gets really angry and decides to do some yoga to calm herself. She imagines Swayam as the yoga instructor. Over the course of her meditation she realizes all the grief that she caused Swayam with her constant mood swings. She also realizes that she is in love with Swayam. She decides that moving forward she will do all she can to please him. Taani and Swayam finally make their way home. There Mr. Shikhawat wonders why they are so late. When he sees them, he asks them about the event. Taani tells him that the St. Louis Dance Team were awesome. She tells him that they performed very well especially Swayam. However, she mistakenly tells him about Swayam's accident. Mr. Shikhawat berates Swayam for being so weak and wrecking the team's performance with his fall. He tells Taani not to be surprised if the team doesn't make it to the finals because of Swayam's fall.
Will Mr. Shikhawat's prediction come true? Will Swayam's fall cost the St. Louis Dance Team their place in the final? Let's wait and watch...
The team is nervous about Swayam's injury but Rey manages to motivate the team. The D3 team make their way to the stage for their performance. Swayam is nervous about performing. Sharon notices his nervousness and assures him that he will do well. Finally, the team performs. They rock the stage and set it on fire. Swayam manages to perform through the entire routine. At the end, Swayam falls down and yells out in pain. Taani runs up and calls for the medics. She hopes that he hasn't suffered a ligament tear. The entire team is worried about Swayam's health. Rey, Taani and Sharon blame themselves for putting Swayam in this position.
Finally the doctor comes out. He assures the team that Swayam is okay and will be back to normal soon. He tells them that Swayam's hasn't suffered any serious injury. Everyone is overjoyed to hear that Swayam will be all right. They ask the doctor if they can see him. He tells them that only one person can visit the patient as per the competition rules. Just when Taani goes, Rey stops her and asks Sharon to go instead. Sharon awkwardly agrees and goes in to see Swayam. Taani gets upset with Rey and the both of them have an argument while the D3 watches on.
Sharon is happy to see Swayam. On the other hand, Swayam asks her why she came. She tells him that she wanted to see him. He thinks back to the last time they were together alone and gets upset. He tells Sharon that she shouldn't have come. He asks her to leave and tell Rey to come in. Sharon gets hurt. Why does Swayam want to talk to Rey? Did Swayam's injury jeopardize St. Louis' chance to make it to the finals of NDC? We'll have to wait till next week to find out...
Check out this behind-the-scenes video on the NDC Semis...
The D3 gang get ready to perform at the Semis. They rehearse while Swayam watches them and practices on his own. Rey asks him to conserve his energy for the final stage performance. Finally it is time for the team to make their way to the competition venue. The team is nervous because of Swayam's injury. Taani makes sure the registration process is smooth. While the team waits their turn one of the other teams tries to pick a fight with them. They pass comments about the St. Louis team. Just when the boys start loosing their cool, Rey steps in and asks everyone to relax and focus on their performance. Finally the team is registered and ushered into their green room.
The organizers place speakers in the green room. The D3 gang listen to the music of their opponents performance. They get nervous when they hear the music. They wonder how the others teams are performing. Sharon wonders how Swayam is doing and goes to the boys area to check up on him. The boys get upset seeing her there. Rey assures her that Swayam will be all right. Meanwhile Taani makes sure that the girls get ready on time. The boys ask Swayam if he will be able to perform when they see him struggling to put on his shirt. Rey assured them that everything will be okay. Swayam goes to meet Taani. She encourages him and assures him that Krishnaji will make sure that Swayam does his best. Will Swayam be able to perform?
When the D3 team share their doubts about Swayam's participation, Sharon asks the team to have some confidence in Swayam. She makes the team realize that Swayam is an excellent dancer. She assures the team that no matter how painful the injury, Swayam will not let the team down during the NDC semis. Rey joins in and tells the team about Swayam's rehearsals. He assures the team that Swayam will watch videos of the rehearsals and practice the routine. The team goes along with Sharon and Rey and start to believe in Swayam's ability.
Meanwhile, a physiotherapist takes a look at Swayam's injury. During the treatment session, Sharon comes to Swayam's place with her family physiotherapist. She barges into Swayam's room and tells her therapist to take over. Taani tries to stop her which results in Taani and Sharon fighting over who will care for Swayam's injury. Mr. Shikhawat comes in to check on the commotion and makes a remark about Swayam's lack of strength. Swayam gets upset and asks everyone to leave him alone. Sharon, Taani, the therapists and Mr. Shikhawat all leave. Taani asks the therapists to leave since Swayam will not continue his treatment.
Mr. Shikhawat once again comments on Swayam's weakness. Taani tries to correct him but he doesn't change his attitude. That's when Sharon takes over. She tells Mr. Shikhawat to stop making an opinion about Swayam's injury without understanding the gravity of the situation. She gives him a mini lecture about how he should be concerned about his son's health rather than making him feel useless because he is injured. When Mr. Shikhawat retorts back, Sharon finally has the last word and leaves. Mr. Shikhawat makes a comment about Sharon's attitude and Taani informs him that Sharon is the college diva. He wonders what the college diva is doing with Swayam.
The next morning, Taani has a meeting with the VP. The VP questions her about why she didn't inform him about Swayam's injury. Taani tells the VP that even though Swayam is injured he will perform at the Semis. She convinces the VP that Swayam will give his best and is saving all of his energy for the stage performance. Will Swayam make it to the stage performance? Let's wait and watch...
Swayam walks out of the cafeteria when the gang start arguing among themselves. Meanwhile, Sharon comes to college and daydreams about Swayam proposing. When she snaps back to reality, she sees Swayam walking towards her. She makes her way towards him and waits for him to comment on her choice of dress. Swayam notices her dress and thinks back to what happened between them the last time he saw her in the dress. He asks why she is so late. Sharon tells him that she just got delayed.
