( Manu, today you have to take Manisha to her house for the ceremony. Jaideep and his wife will also accompany you. Today her family will welcome their daughter and son-in-law, they will have a big lunch for you and you both will get lots of gifts. Whatever Manisha's family give you, you will have to accept that with respect okay, and don't say no to anything. Talk and behave nicely with your in-laws. If I get any complaint against you, then you will see my worst side. I know you go to that good-for-nothing gym, that too behind my back, I will ban all that. Am I clear.)

Himanshu : Ji dadi. Par thane kiya bero gym go. (Yes grandma. But how do you know about gym)

Jad tu tabar thka ronto ho ni, toh teri maa koni samajhti hi par mane bero pad janto ho ki tane k chahiye h. Toh mere hu hoshiyari toh tu naa hi kare kar. (Child, my hair are not white from the sun, but due to my age. I know you very well. When you were a little child, your mother would not understand why you cried, but I always knew what you wanted. So you don't act smart with me okay)

Himanshu : Accha dadi. Thari saari baat manuga aur bathe aacho vyavhar karuga bas. Par bhai bhi javega, toh pher office. (Okay grandma. I will obey you and behave nicely with my in-laws. But if brother also go with me then office?)

Gayatri : Ek din ki koina. Sahiba sambhal legi. theek h. (Nothing will happen in one day. Sahiba will take care of it. Okay)

Himanshu : Theek h dadi. (Okay grandma.)

Gayatri : Manisha beta, jaa tu jage taiyar hoja. Har khub saro sono pehan le. Loga n bero toh pade kingi bahu h. Jaa beta. (Manisha child, you go and get ready. And wear a lot of gold. People should know that you are our DIL. Go child)

Manisha : Dadi, itna heavy kapda... (Grandma, these clothes are so heavy...)

Gayatri : Ha beta ab nayi dulhan n toh pehnana padega. Tane koi dikkat h k. (Yes child, you are a new bride, so you have to wear such clothes. Is there some problem.)

Manisha : Ji dadi, wo mane simple kapda hi aacha lage. Har jyada gehna bhi koni suhave. (Yes Grandma, Actually I prefer simple clothes. I also don't prefer heavy jewellery.)

Gayatri : Chal iyaa kara pher, aaj toh pehan le. Pher wapis aake badal liye, thik h. Ghre simple kapda pehan liya kar par jad koi bahar go aave, nayi dulhan hu milan ne, toh tane pher taiyar hono pad si. Ab tu mhari bahu h, toh thodo uss hisab hu dekhno pad si. Baki beta tu khud samajhdar hai. Abb mhari ijaat tere hath hi h. (Okay, Do one thing, wear it for today only. You wear simple clothes at home but when someone visits to meet the new bride, then you have to get ready. Now you are our DIL, so we have to behave accordingly. Rest, you are already wise. Now our honor is in your hands.)

Manisha : Theek h dadi, m dhyan rakhugi. (Okay Grandma, I will keep this in mind.)

(Now go and get ready, I will send the clothes for you. Sunaina DIL, bring the lehenga (heavy Indian round skirt) which we have purchased from Jaipur, for Manisha)
