TUESDAY UPDATE ON JHANSI KI RANI
Scene begins with the common people gathered outside the palace . One of then remarks 'what a beautiful palki the king has sent for his bride.' ANother one says- "why not- after all she is going to change the future of Jhansi".
In Manu's rooms- Moropant is pacing restlessly since the pandit has not arrived from Bithur. Manu comes in full bridal finery escorted by her friends. She goes up to her father and asks how she looks. Moropant replies "like an apsara" He asks why she chose to wear her mother's sari instead of the one Mharaj gave her or the one presented by the Peshwa. She replies thst it has her mother's memories and hence is more Valuable.
They all go outside where the decorated palki is waiting for them. Moropant asks Tantya Tope to escort the bridal party whilst he waits there for the pundit to arrive. Tantya counters by saying that it will not look nice since he is the bride's father.
Vahini Jr is seeing all this and smiling sweetly says that she will wait there and when the priest arrives, she will direct him to the temple.
The king (Gosh.... he has changed his outfit again and looking so hansome, so regal....) is heading towards the Ganesh temple on an elephant.
As Manu's palki is about to be lifted, Fraser and another British officer remark that they should look out for Samar SIngh since he is likely to make an apearance. When the other officer asks how? Fraser replies that "these indians give a lot of importance to relations and will not hesitate to put their lives at risk to fulfil their obligations." As if on cue, Samar singh appears there. He says " My sister's doli is about to depart, how can this brother stay away ?" Tantya Tope ,Samar singh lift the doli and head towards the venue passing right under Fraser's nose.
Meanwhile the substitue pandit reaches the palace and asks a watchman where is moropant tambey ? The Watch man exchanges looks with Vahini Jr and leads the pundit to a secluded place. He offers the pundit something to drink. The pundit , on drinking it , colapses and dashes against a wall. Blood is pouring from his head. (Most probably ) . The watchman drags the body inside and changes into the pundit's clothes. He then appears in front of the Vahini who asks him to " change the destiny of Jhansi- Stop this marraige".
GR, mounted on an elephant is inching his way towards the Ganesh Temple. People are shouting slogans and GR is throwing handfuls of coins at them.
Manu 's doli arrives there. As Manu gets out she sees Samar Singh and is greatful that he could come. Samar Singh keeps his hand on her head and blesses her 'sadaa suhaagan raho' manu folds her hands. Frases spies this from a distance and tries to come closer, but he moving crowds block his way and Samar Singh escapes unnoticed.
Manu and the bridal Party arrive at the mandap. Prachi is stunned by the sheer size of it and remarks that the hall is big enough for all them to get married there. all laugh. Just then shouts of 'Maharaj ki Jai' is heard. Indu escorts Manu inside.
Te king is welcomed at the doorstep by Indu who does his aarti and puts tiklak. Prachi also wants to do the same but connot reach his forehead. GR smilingly kneeels down so that Prachi can put tilak on him.
GR is seated in the mandap and the mantras begin. Aasihree enqires whether everything is proceeding according to schedule. Moropant assures her. MEanwhile the girls inside are waiting for the priest to begin the Gauri Puja.
Moropant is tensed. Just then the fake pundit arrives is taken inside. BUt he odesn't even know the Gayatri mantra properlyand everyone looks at him queerly.
