Shiv innocently says that he’s planning his honeymoon with her and therefore doesnt want to ccompromise on his nect holidays. shiv asks them also to come along to jaitsar so that they can spend some time also with anandi that they are missing out now. Alok refuses and says that they would love to but they have to finish up their work and handle business too. shiv leaves for breakfast when ira says that they understand this too that they being newly wed would want their own privacy and personal space and they wouldnt wnat to intrude into that.
