Force of attraction 8 June 2024: Mandira tells Padma that she will destroy Shakti’s life before she can even get an admission for medicine.
Shakti comes back home and sees the groom’s family there. The groom asks who is she? Manorama says she is our niece, her parents died so I raised her. She wanted to become a doctor and we did everything to make her a doctor, we don’t want her to feel that we don’t believe in her dreams.
Shakti thinks she must have hurt Dr. Shiv. The groom stares at Shakti and thinks to make her part of his dream. Manorama takes Shakti from there. She brings her to the kitchen and says you should have been careful when you came in the house all drenched. Shakti apologizes to her. Manorama asks her to refreshments ready and make Rimjhim take the tray to them. She
goes from there. Shakti starts cooking and says Shiv is always smiling so what happened to him today? I argued with him before, I shouted at him but he never reacted so don’t know what happened with him today. I am sorry for hurting him. She is cooking and the groom keeps staring at her. Shakti is cooking and says I should be happy today but why do I keep thinking about Shiv? She is about to burn her hand but Rimjhim comes there and stops her. Shakti says sorry I was not thinking.
Rimjhim says I don’t like this guy, she asks Shakti to tell the guy that he should say no the marriage, I can’t say no as Manorama threatened to drink poison if I say no. Shakti says I can’t ask him for that. Rimjhim says you have to convince him to say no.. I helped you in securing admission so you have to help me. Shakti says fine, I will try. Rimjhim thanks her and goes from there.
Shiv is working out in anger. Dadi comes there and asks why are you punishing yourself? Nandu told me everything and you did the right thing. You made someone’s dream come true and that’s a super-power you have. You are that girl’s super hero now. Shiv hugs her and cries.. He says I brought tears to her smiling face. I should have congratulated her but I pushed her away, I hurt her. Dadi says sometimes our past keeps following us. Shiv says lets talk about the present only. Shiv says Shakti was locked in the store room and I didn’t even ask her how that happened.. I hurt her more. Dadi says then what should you do? Shiv says I should apologize to her. He thanks her and leaves. Dadi sees Gayatri standing outside the room and asks her to leave as she can take care of Shiv. Gayatri leaves. Dadi asks Nandu to tell her about Shakti Sharma. He tells her everything.
Rimjhim brings juice for the groom and mistakenly drops at him. She apologizes and takes him to the washroom. She hints at Shakti to talk to him.
Scene 2Shiv calls the hospital and asks the recepionist to give him Shakti’s number, she says the admin office is closed today so we will give it tomorrow only. He says okay and ends the call. Ragunath comes there and slaps Shiv hard. He is shocked. Ragunath shouts how dare you Shiv. All family members come there. Mandira comes there and smirks. She thinks Shiv should be punished for going against me.
The groom asks Shakti to help him in washing the hands. She goes with him and says I need to talk to you. Rimjhim is not ready for the marriage but she can’t say no so can you say no for this marriage? He holds her hands and says what about your status? Manorama comes there and sees them holding hands. She asks the groom Ranjan what is he doing here? he says I came to wash hands, he leaves Shakti’s hand. He goes from there. Manorama scolds Shakti for being near the groom.
Ragunath shouts at Shiv and asks how dare you go against Mandira in the hospital in front of everyone? who do you think you are? he is about to slap him but Gayatri runs and stands in front of Shiv. She asks Ragunath to stop. He pushes Gayatri away and she falls down. Mandira smirks. Shiv looks on. Ragunath shouts that everything is happening because of her. Mandira got insulted because of her, Shiv is in this condition because of her. He is about hit Gayatri but Shiv stands in front of her and says enough. He says its not Gayatri’s fault for what happened in the hospital, you can talk to me. Ragunath slaps Shiv again and says I will put you in place. Shiv tries to keep himself calm. Ragunath says this house and family is running because of Mandira only, how dare you insult her when you know she is your elder? who are you? you are just a burden on this family. We have protected our honor and power because of Mandira only, how dare you insult her? do you want me to remind you about your past, your weaknesses and your mistakes? He is about to hit him again but Shiv stops him and says I would let you hit and curse me if I was wrong but you are wrong in this case. I am requesting you to not shout or hit me as that would be wrong which I can’t allow. All look on.
Ragunath is about to slap Shiv but he stops him and says if I was wrong then I would have let you curse and beat me as much as you want but I am not wrong, you are wrong in this case so I am requesting you to not raise your voice or hand on me as I will be taking the side of wrong then. Ragunath says how dare you go against me.. I won’t spare you. Keertan tries to stop him but Mandira stops him. Mandira acts sad and says I was insulted but Shiv has more power so its okay. Ragunath says no.. I won’t spare him. Mandira asks him to calm down and says Shiv did a mistake.. how can I stop him. I feel helpless.
Gayatri rushes to Dadi and pleads with her to save Shiv.
Ragunath tells Shiv that you think you have more power than Mandira? He takes a vase and is about
to hit Shiv but Dadi comes there and holds his hand back. She takes the vase from him and says how dare you raise hand on my Shiv? don’t you know about his condition? Ragunath says but.. Dadi says don’t you dare cross a line with your mother, if your son is respecting you then I better expect the same from you. She asks the family why didn’t anyone stop him? Mandira says Ragunath got angry about the scholarship thing. Padma couldn’t see my insult and told Ragunath everything. Shiv is like my son so I felt bad when he went against me but I didn’t comeplain to anyone. She asks Ragunath to calm down and go to his room. He starts leaviing, Mandira feels his ears and says that girl is very smart, she must have fooled Shiv to sign the form. Shiv says I was not a fool but a smart person to select her. That girl is the most deserving candidate and I am sure she is going to be a very good doctor one day. Ragunath shouts that he is still running his mouth, I won’t spare him. He is about to hit him but Shiv says stop there, you can shout all you want but the truth is that nobody is more deserving than Shakti for that scholarship.
Shakti is feeling restless and says what if Shiv is not well? I should have controlled myself, it wasn’t a big moment for him. She recalls him promising to fulfill her dreams and says it felt like it was a big moment for him too. I have to rectify this. She thinks to call Shiv.
Manorama asks the groom’s family if they agree with the proposal for Rimjhim? They discuss and tells Manorama that they want to take a day to come back with a decision. They all leave.
Ragunath asks Shiv to shut up. Shiv says I am saying the right thing which is that Shakti was the most deserving candidate. You, Chacha and Mandira are not doctors but I am so I know who deserved it more. Ragunath says you think you are the best doctor out there? Shiv says yes, you can search on internet and my name would come on top as the best neurosurgeon.
Shiv tells Mandira that Nidhi didn’t deserve that spot, her marks were not good and she is minister’s daughter so she doesn’t need a scholarship. He tells Ragunath that Shakti topped her exams. Mandira says but Shakti was late and doctors need to be punctual. Shiv says if the doctor is not skillful then punctuality wouldn’t make any difference, the doctor needs knowledge first. You ignored Shakti’s qualities because of her one mistake and I ignored her one mistake because of many qualities. He tells Ragunath that people keep having faiths in doctors because of people like Shakti, she can change the world and bring more respect to our profession. I know I can be stupid but the real stupidity would be denying Shakti.
Shakti calls the hospital and asks the receptionist if she can get Shiv’s number? The receptionist says very strange, Dr. Shiv just called before you and wanted your number. Shakti asks if he was angry? she says he never gets angry. Shakti says then why me? she asks for his number. The receptionist says since he was asking for your number so I will give his number to you. Shakti starts writing the number down but the groom comes there and scares her.
She drops the phone. He says I am sorry, I couldn’t say no directly to Manorama but I will ask my mother to call her tomorrow and say no. Shakti tries to leave but he holds her hand and asks if she has any boyfriend? Shakti is uncomfortable. Manorama comes there and calls Shakti so he leaves her hand.
Mandira’s husband tells Ragunath that Shiv is insulting Mandira because of some random girl. Mandira has done so much for this house, Shiv and the hospital.. he should be thankful to Mandira but he is insulting her. Mandira asks him to calm down. She tells Shiv that I know Nidhi was not deserving of the scholarship but sometimes we have to do things for hospital business. Ragunath says you don’t need to provide justification as you can never be wrong. He apologizes to her on Shiv’s behalf and folds his hand. Mandira says please don’t do that. Ragunath says Shiv can’t even handle himself so he wouldn’t no anything about business. Shiv shouts no.. running a hospital is not about business, we don’t think about profits but how we can save as many lives as we can.
Manorama asks Shakti what she wants to do? you remember what happened before also. These groom families keep looking around for better deals and you are a better deal. I saw that guy holding your hand and I don’t doubt you at all. I know you love Rimjhim a lot and I understand you better than your mother would. Shakti smiles. Manorama says we have done a lot for you so you have to do this for me. You have to get Rimjhim married.
Ragunath shouts at Shiv that he is being boostful, what does he think that he has higher position than Mandira in the trust? Shiv says exactly, I have that. I have a better position than not only Mandira but everyone else. I am the main member of the trust. All are surprised to see him taking a stand.
