Episode 3 (Untold Secrets)
The episode starts at Brar Mansion, Dining hall
All were shocked and transfixed to their position after hearing Akaal’s announcement. Sahiba and Angad shared shocked expressions at each other recalling their conversation on the same topic during their nuptial night. Veer furiously gets up and confronts Akaal asking, “What Daarji you have already planned my marriage without even consenting me?” Jaspal berates him saying, “Veer!! Is this how you talk to your Daarji?” Veer continues dismayingly, “But here the topic is about my marriage so isn’t it me who holds the maximum rights to take the decisions?” Akaal silences him by calling out his name “Veer!!” and continues, “I agree the topic is about your marriage and you have all the rights to decide the things in your life but remember that I and Jabyot are your grandparents. We would never decide or do anything that will ruin your life. Don’t forget, Sahiba was also our choice for Angad and look at them today, don’t you see how happy they are together?” Angad approves it saying, “I agree with Daarji, Veer. I have full confidence in Daarji and Bebe’s decisions and I’m sure they wouldn’t go wrong. If they have chosen Keerat for you then it should be for a good reason. And what is wrong with Keerat?” Veer, “Angad paaji, I have just met her once!! I hardly know anything about her!! And here Daarji and Bebe have already made plans to get me hitched with her. Why?” Daarji questions, “Do you have anyone else in your life Veer? If yes then we are ready to send our proposal to that girl instead of Keerat.” Veer upsettingly, “There’s no one else in my life Daarji!! But what is the hurry for my marriage. Angad paaji just got married and isn’t there Garry too so why don’t you get him hitched before me?” Jasleen interrupts, “Don’t bring Garry into this. He is busy making his career in UK and wants to get married only after that while it’s not the same with you. You are the most celebrated Rockstar of Punjab. I accept you will get any girl of your choice but since you do not have any girl in your life what is wrong in going forward with Mummyji and Papaji’s choice?” Gurleen affirms saying, “Yes Veer puttar. Daarji and Bebe have never taken any wrong decisions regarding anyone’s life. Keerat is a nice girl, we all like her and most importantly she is Sahiba’s sister. I’m sure she will make her special place in all our hearts like Sahiba did.” Sahiba’s face brightened in contentment. Prince jokes in saying, “Gurleen maami, Veer paaji doesn’t want to marry Keerat di because he’s scared of her.” Everyone chuckles while Veer hits on Prince’s head saying, “Oye chup kar!!”. Akaal continues, “Gurleen, Jaspal are you both alright with going forward with this proposal?” Jaspal, “Of course Papaji, Veer has been always rejecting every girl’s proposal we bought for him, now that you have taken the initiative of Veer’s marriage, we are absolutely alright with whatever you decide.” Veer gave them a discouraged expression. Akaal turns towards Veer and tells him, “Did you hear your family’s decision, Veer? Everyone agrees that Keerat would surely make an ideal life-partner for you, so what is the harm in taking this proposal forward? If you think you don’t know enough about her then just like Angad-Sahiba, we can arrange meetings for you both to get to know each other more.” Veer was completely mad with all the proceedings and walks away without uttering a word more. Angad tells Akaal, “Don’t worry Daarji, I will talk to him.” Akaal nods.
Scene shifts to Monga House
Keerat was standing gape-mouthed after hearing what Ajit just said and exclaims, “What???” It’s hardly been a few days after Sahiba’s di marriage and you have already fixed my marriage. Have you got so fed up with me?” Sukhi, “Keerat, relax!! First of all listen to what your Mummyji and Papaji want to say!!” Keerat composes a bit. Ajit continues, “Keerat we have not fixed your marriage yet and it’s not like we are tired of you. You are our little princess, how can we think of sending you away so soon? It’s just that when Akaal Saheb and Jabyot ji themselves came to us asking for your hand, we felt that it was a prospective good relationship for you.” Keerat, “Then what about my dreams and career goals, Papaji? You both have always supported Seerat di’s decision to not get married until she establishes her career; won’t you do the same for me?” Santhosh, “Keerat when did we say that we will not support your dreams and career? Akaal Saheb and Jabyot ji have promised that they will let you pursue your dreams and goals even after you get married?” Keerat, “But what is the hurry to get me married when Seerat di is still unmarried?” Sukhi interrupts, “Keerat every girl’s parents are always anxious to find the right partner and in-laws for their daughter. Ajit and Santhosh are also in the same situation. When they got Brars proposal for you, they only thought about your happiness and well-being after marriage nothing else and it’s not like you don’t want to get married ever. Isn’t your marriage bound to happen some day or the other? So what’s wrong if it happens now?” Keerat was still not satisfied, she informs her family that she needs some lone time and rushes to her room. After getting inside, she shuts the door. Ajit and Santhosh concernedly knock at her door. Santhosh tries to persuade her saying, “Keerat, why have you shut the door? Look we know you don’t want to get married soon but good proposals don’t come always, puttar. The Brars are a good family; they will surely support your dreams and goals and Veer is a well-settled guy who earns well. You will be always happy there.” Inside Keerat muttered under her breath, “Does that mean I have to marry that egoistic shithead?” Outside Santhosh asks, “Did you say something Keerat?” Keerat shouts, “Mummyji, Papaji yaar!! Both of you leave me alone for some time.” Sukhi comes there and tells them to let Keerat alone for some time. Ajit and Santhosh agree and leave. Inside Keerat sits angrily on her bed.
Scene shifts to Brar Mansion
Angad comes to Veer’s room and sees him carelessly strumming his guitar on his bed. He goes and sits beside Veer. The latter ignores him. So, Angad teases him asking, “So my little brother is already preparing a love song?” Veer angrily keeps his guitar away and asks him, “Why have you come here paaji?” Angad, “To discuss about your marriage.” Veer irritatedly gets up from the bed saying, “I don’t want to talk anything about it.” Angad comes and stands next to him, keeps his hand on his shoulder and says, “Look Veer, I know it’s difficult to take a decision on getting married to a stranger but just look at me. I and Sahiba, hardly knew each other before our marriage but today just a few days after our marriage, she has become the world to me and all this happened thanks to Daarji and Bebe. You too have to do the same thing Veer, just trust completely on Daarji and Bebe’s choice. I’m sure that their choice, Keerat, would surely become your perfect life-partner.” Veer looked away without getting moved by Angad’s words. Angad continues, “Okay I understand that you are reluctant to marry Keerat because you want to know more about her. Soooooo, I have brought something for you.” Angad takes out a piece of paper from his pocket and places it on Veer’s hand. Veer looks at the piece of paper and sees Keerat’s phone number written on it. Angad catches Veer’s shoulder a second time and tells him, “All I want to say to my little brother is that don’t underestimate Daarji and Bebe’s decisions, they love us so much that they can never go wrong in taking our lives’ decisions. Just give a chance to their decision.” With that being said, Angad affectionately hugs Veer, turns around and leaves. After Angad is out of the vicinity, Veer takes out his phone and dials Keerat’s number, “I need to talk to Miss. Pehalwan.”

On the other side, Veer was astounded with her question and tells her, “Miss. Pehalwan, this is me, Veer Singh Brar.” Keerat shockingly gets up asking, “YOU??? What kind of perverted guy you are? I just spoke a word or two with you and you sent your marriage proposal for me. If you were in front of me right now, then I would have punched your face so hard such that you wouldn’t recognize yourself while looking at the mirror.” Veer tries to pacify her saying, “Miss. Pehalwan, the marriage proposal was a shocker even for me. Even, I never knew that Daarji and Bebe had such an idea in their mind.” Keerat, “Chal jhoote!! Don’t try to fool me. I have seen a lot of jerks like you and know very well how to deal with such creeps.” Veer getting irritated, “If you already know how to deal with men like me then can we meet?” Keerat, “Meet? Why do you want to meet me?” Veer, “I will tell you when we meet.” Keerat although hesitant at first eventually agrees, “Fine, where do you want to meet?” Veer, “I will send you the location and time. Just be there.” Keerat accepts and hangs up. Veer gets thinking, “There’s no way out now, I will have to reveal everything to Miss. Pehalwan.”
An hour later
Keerat comes to a public park and looks around for Veer. She wonders, “That egoistic shithead asked me to come here, now where is he?” As she was still searching for Veer, a masked hooded man comes there, catches her hand and drags her along with him. Keerat tries to resist but he drags her with all his force. Finally, he reaches a secluded place and leaves her hand but as he turns around to say something, the latter lands a sharp punch on his left cheek. The man falls down. Keerat shouts at him, “How dare you touch me? I’m Keerat Kaur Monga!! If anyone dares to play crooked with me then he will have all his bones broken.” The man gets up keeping his hand on the cheek where he was punched, removes his mask and hood to reveal himself. Keerat was shocked to see Veer standing in front of her. She exclaims, “You? Why were you trying to kidnap me? ” Veer, “Oh hello, Miss. Pehalwan, I wasn’t trying to kidnap you!! It’s just that, I did not want to draw anyone’s attention so I brought you here.” Keerat, “Huh?” Veer explains, “Look, Miss. Pehalwan, I’m a reputed rockstar…” As he goes on Keerat starts showing faces of his speech, Veer unknowingly continues, “…so wherever I go there will be people around me asking for selfies, autographs and what not, hence, I did not want to entice anyone by my presence …” He turns around to see Keerat making faces. He glowers at her saying, “Listen Miss Pehalwan, whether you like it or not, the fact is that I’m a rockstar so wherever I go people will get attracted towards me like a swarm of bees to a beehive.” Keerat mumbles, “This egoistic shithead knows nothing than to boast about himself the entire time saying “I am a rockstar…I am a rockstar” rockstar my foot!!” Veer asks her, “Are you saying something?” Keerat fed up with his vainglorious speeches, asks him, “Now why have you called me here? To brag about yourself being a “ROCKSTAR”?” Veer stares angrily at her. Keerat continues, “Listen no matter how great rockstar you are, I, Keerat Kaur Monga have no interest in you!!” Veer, “So do you think I’m dying to marry you?” Keerat, “Then why did you send your proposal for me?” Veer, “Excuse-me, Miss. Pehalwan, as I already said it wasn’t me but rather it was Daarji and Bebe who sent you the proposal. Unfortunately, they couldn’t see how haughty, ill-tempered and irritable you are!!” Keerat offended with his remarks, “If you have so much of problem with me then why don’t you just say a NO to your Daarji and Bebe?” Veer disappointedly, “I can’t” Keerat, “Why?” Veer, “Because if I reject you today then tomorrow they will bring some other girl’s proposal for me and I don’t want to get married no matter whosoever it is!!”

Sahiba was ironing Angad’s clothes while constantly reflecting on Akaal and Jabyot’s announcement in the morning.

Now tell me what is bothering you.”
