Anjali's talk has softened Raja's anger, and he comforts her the only way he knows how - with a song! We can see the old flames being rekindled in "Ishq Chupta Nahin."

As the song winds down we see Anjali pulling into the driveway of the house. She notices that Aditya's car is also there, and she immediately looks worried. She tiptoes inside and hears the sound of laughter. As she makes her way into the living room, she sees Aditya is there, and he has two guests. He welcomes her warmly, and asks where she has been. He had tried to call her cell so she could pick him up at the airport, but she had turned it off. He cuts off her reply and asks her for the first time ever, how she's been. Anjali looks pleasantly surprised, and doesn't know what to say.
Aditya
continues on his new polite streak and offers to introduce her to the people
that have been sitting across from them. The man is named Dil Arora, and he
greets Anjali with the weirdest first impression I've ever seen. He blows smoke
at her and in a loud, boisterous tone re-introduces himself and laughs loudly at
his own odd joke. He informs Anjali that he will not call her by her name.
Instead, he decides she will be known as ... (ahem) "Babs Yahooooo." I wish I
was making that up. He laughs again at his brilliant wit, and Aditya giggles
too. In case we missed it, Aditya tells Anjali that Dil is a "funny guy, what a
joker."
Well
that's half of our problem. We move on to the fetching young lass that is seated
upon Dil's lap. Pallavi doesn't like being called by her full name, and corrects
Aditya. She prefers to go by Pallu, since it's less serious and boring. Dil
calls her a naughty girl and swats her backside while she giggles.
We pan back over to Anjali, who looks like she just watched lobsters juggling water balloons. There are a few more silly comments passed back and forth, not amounting to much other than revealing Dil is one of the top 1000 wealthiest Indians in Forbes magazine.
They
have some more awkward moments with Dil and Pallu making a few off-color
comments, and teasing Anjali for being shy. Aditya tells her that she shouldn't
take what they are saying seriously, since they're famous jokers. Dil settles
down a little and brings up some business talk with Aditya. As they do so,
Anjali notices that Pallu seems to be studying her. She gives Anjali long,
lingering looks up and down, as if surveying the competition. After a few more
awkward moments, Pallu gets up and dances over to the couch where the others are
sitting, and tells them that she's going to freshen up. She takes Anjali's hand
and asks her to show her where the bathroom is. The men make some very tired
"women in the bathroom" jokes, after which this very awkward scene comes to a
blissful end.
We
cut over to Anjali as she arrives at the kids' day care center. We then see the
rooftop balcony of Raja's hotel suite, and his phone starts to ring. When he
answers it, Anjali can't speak. After a couple of hellos, Raja assumes that it's
her calling, and asks her what happened. Anjali tells him about Aditya coming
home early, and asks what they should do now. Raja tells her that she should
just ditch everything and come to him. She asks him if he's crazy, and tells him
that he needs to think before he says things like that. Raja replies that he's
thought it over, and is sure that this is the best way to go. She explains that
she's at the nursery and can't come over now. She says that she'll take the kids
home first, then think of an excuse to get out of the house.
As she's telling him that she'll be there later, Aditya walks up behind her. He smiles and greets her warmly, then asks her who she was telling she'd meet later on. Uh oh.
