Lies of the heart 23 April 2020:Tauji tells urmi that the problem is with her. Urmi says that she doesnt think its wrong, and that if she doesnt take care of her family, who will. Tauji asks her to continue then, with the insults, and reminds her about the importance of her in the house, and that if she considers it true, then samrat wont even think twice about insulting her. Tauji says that one who cant respect herself, shouldnt expect it from others, and should think that insult is in her destiny, as her philosophy claims that she should keep doing, whether anyone likes it or not.
Tauji asks how would anyone care for her, when she doesnt care for herself. He leaves, while urmi is thinking still. He asks her to think deep about how she can make them care for her, and how would they realise her importance. Saying so, he leaves, while urmi is tensed.
Shashi tells aditi not to be involved in work, as she is the daughter of this house, and should just relax, and let urmi do all the work along with kanchan. tauji calls up urmi, who’s working frantically in the kitchen.
She picks it up, and tauji just places the call, so that urmi can hear what shashi is advising aditi about not helping urmi at all. she asks aditi to give an excuse that she has a headache while she has a sprain in the waist. tauji asks what would samrat think if he finds out about this. shashi says that she doesnt have any guts and wont say anything to samrat. aditi tries to protest, but shashi shuts her down.
shashi, in order to win favour from trauji, says that she would get work done by urmi, or else she would be living free here. Urmi is distraught and apalled to hear this, as tears stream down her cheeks.
In her room, urmi remembers the insults given by samrat and shashi, and tauji’s advise about it. tauji comes in asking that she is still here. He comments on having a strong heart, that she heard everything and still is standing here, and asks if her self respect isnt affected at all, or if there isnt any. He says that he thought that she would be gone by now. urmi surprisingly asks how can she go to her house, as that wont be right, and what would samrat do, and how would he entertain the guests.
tauji says that he would say that there’s no wife, but a servant who has gone to work in the other house. urmi is hurt by this. tauji says that to treat anything the medicine given is bitter, but that doesnt mean that the doctor is enemy to the patient. He says that to accomplish the mission, he would have to do things, that arent right to her heart and conscience, but they are actually right, as desperate times need desperate measures. he asks her to movce ahead not to compromise but to maintain the identity of her self respecxt.
urmi understands and wipes off her tears, and asks that she would need his blessings to take such a big step. she bends to touch his feet, and he blesses her. He leaves wishing her the best of luck.

Finding them all working, shashi comes in after having practised, and says that she has a terrible sprain. aditi finds it frustrating while she tries to get her way out of the immense work. Meanwhile, shashi pretends about having a terrible backache, and laments as to how the feast shall be prepared, as had she been okay she would have done everything. She tells that its their good luck that urmi is here to take care of everything. Urmi eyes tauji and goes ahead, when he gives her the signal. urmi says that she has to go to her house, as gaurav is getting remarried and she needs some shopping finalisations to be done. Shashi asks what about the work here. urmi is tensed.
Shashi asks how can she go, when there’s so much work here. Shashi asks who would take care here, for the humungous task here, as the respect is at stake. In horror, shashi forgets about her sprain, and kanchan instantly points it out to her. Shashi covers it up somehow, while kanchgan says that she is very happy that she is fine now. Shashi asks urmi who would take care of it now, as important guests are coming. urmi says that she would come soon, and they can manage till then. kanchan gives her consent to go.
shashi angers up, but kanchan traps her into thinking that she makes food best, and hence she should prepare the entire feast. urmi and tauji smirk at shashi’s helpless condition. shashi still says that she is in terrible pain. But kanchan tells her that she can do things that dont need her to stand, like cutting vegetables. kanchan and aditi are discussing with her, when they find urmi coming down, dressed and with a purse. shashi is shocked and asks where is she going, when there’s so much work in the house.
Urmi says that the work would be done here without her being there, as she isnt that important, as she has been told so many times. She says that therefore, her going there is very essential. shashi is shocked to hear this. Shashi wonders how to stop her, and then plays the shaurya card, and asks if she wont take him too. urmi is tensed what to asnwer now. urmi says that shaurya is sleeping, and wont wake up for a long time, and as it is, they have told that her house is very small, but his house is very big, and hence there shouldnt be a problem for him to be playing here.
Shashi is speechless and wonders what to say now. tauji signals urmi to be quiet and leave. kanchan agrees while shashi is tensed. Tauji smiles at this and is super happy. After she is gone, shashi laments at the situation she is in, as aditi says that she shouldnt have been after urmi in the first place as it totally backfired, as samrat wanted everything perfect and that if anything goes wrong, its completely shashi’s responsibility.
tauji from the balcony thinks that when she returns now, urmi would come back with a piece of her self respect.
