The second promo announced that Niveditā Mājhī Tāī will air Monday to Friday at 9 pm, starting January 15.
Asim is excited to receive a toy gun from Yashodhan, and then an enormous teddy bear. Nivedita looks happy. Yashodhan tells Asim that now only the teddy bear will be Asim's best friend. Asim says that his best friend is his Tāī. A married woman of the family (Asmita Ajgaonkar) looks displeased by Asim's remark. Yashodhan reminds Asim that Nivedita is marrying Yashodhan. Asim, unwrapping another gift, asks, so what? Yashodhan and Nivedita look at each other with worry, and Yashodhan says that Nivedita will become his wife. Asim asks again, so what? Yashodhan looks annoyed and Nivedita blinks at Yashodhan to signal that she'll take over. Nivedita tells Asim that after marriage she'll go to live at Yashodhan's house. Asim immediately throws the teddy bear at Yashodhan and tells him, take your toys; I don't want them. Asim pleads with Tāī not to leave him; no one else here loves him. The woman looks troubled and puts down something. Nivedita promises Asim that she'll never separate from him; she'll only go taking him with her. Asim smiles as Nivedita cups his cheek. The woman leaves. Yashodhan puts his hand on Nivedita's shoulder as she hugs Asim. Asim and Nivedita are smiling, but Yashodhan looks serious. Asim points the gun at Yashodhan - "Hands up!" telling Yashodhan that Nivedita is his wife later and Asim's Tāī first. Yashodhan nods in agreement and smiles, and soon grabs the gun and points it at Asim, both laughing. Nivedita joins their laughter.
Asmita Ajgaonkar and Ashok Phal Dessai played mother and son on Mehandī Hai Racanevālī in 2021, and she still looks too young to play the parents-of-adults generation. Three months ago, the actress announced her 46th birthday on her Instagram page, so I should be more accepting. However, it seems unlikely that her character is Nivedita's or Yashodhan's mother here. She could be Asim's stepmother and a young Kākū of Nivedita, as the age difference between Nivedita and Asim suggests that they're cousins and not full siblings. It's less likely that Asim feels unloved by his own mother, who is Nivedita's stepmother.
