Anika got ready for the competition high pony tail, a loose flannel shirt with jeans and flat slippers she was ready to go with all her willpower but was a bit nervous as her shivaay would not be around.

Going downstairs rikara, shanky and trio chefs join her.

While moving downstairs chef vikas was instructing her to be calm and composed and chef ranveer and chef Sanjeev were continuously memorising her how to identify the masale.

Anika smiled and thought " how lucky we are shivaay to have them ".

Meanwhile,
Shivaay was getting ready and ruvya were trying to stop him but shivaay being shivaay her did not give a damn to them.

Shivaay - Rudy I really need to go. Anika will easily get nervous but will not show.

Bhavya - but Bhaiya u need to rest.

Rudra - yes Bhaiya doctor said u are very weak to travel.

Shivaay stand up and said - Bhavya and Rudra listen to me I know u guys are worried about me but try to understand anika needs me if she is my strength I am her strength when are like two bodies and one soul. Please take me to her I promise I will not stress up myself and in fact I will use wheel chair. But please take me to her.

Ruvya looked at reach other.

In hotel

No instructions were given as of now so all 20 contestants move towards their respective counters.

Anika stands in front of her counter looking at the ingredients. She closed her eyes and gave a silent prayer to god to help her not only as a wife but also as a citizen of India. She looked towards her family and smiled.

Anika thought " u can do this anika u need to do this for your shivaay , for your country u are representing on this platform and just keep one thing in mind Hindustani dil se khana banate hai aur dher sara pyaar mila te hai....  Humare desi khane ki baat hi nirali hai "

She smiled in her thoughts only.

Meanwhile,
A dark place a man was chained up to a chair. When another man enters and said "why did u do this. U know na we invest around 60% shares in your company then why the hell u harmed him. Do u know that this could risk his life. "

In hotel
One of the management member proceed to the stage and start speaking

" so good morning ladies and gentlemen. U 20 contestants are in quarters which is a huge thing and from u 20, only 10 will be our semi finalist. Their is a slight change our one of the contestant Mr. Shivaay Singh oberoi will not be performing due to some medical emergency but his alternative, his wife will be performing. "

Anika smiled while he continues

"I let u know the rules my dear contestants. U need to make  national dishes of your respective countries and u will be given 2 hours time to showcase the different types of dishes and different types of taste from various parts of the world. But for that u need ingredients so I am giving you 15 mins run to the mini grocery store and take all your necessary ingredients and your time starts now. "

He completes abruptly while contestants run the the mini store in the hotel and took all the necessary ingredients.

Anika already maked up her mind that she she will be making a proper Indian thali and under Indian thali being a Punjabi kudi she decided to make Punjabi with various dishes that contains various and khidkitodh taste. She took all the necessary items and get back to her counter.

And with that almost every member gets back and soon the cooking competition gets started.

After an hour or so anika was doing great until she forgets to turn off the panner she was cooking it's being 15 minutes until she notice it. She got panicked as she needs to cut vegetables again and fry them it will take a bit long but then all of the sudden she looked towards the stairs and saw her shivaay on wheel chair and ruvya behind them.

Family looked at the direction she was looking at and got worried as they expect shivaay to rest.

Om - why did Rudy bring him here.

Gauri(smiled) - Bade Bhaiya is here to support his support system.

Shivaay looked at anika and through his eyes and smile he assured her that everything is going on fine.

She smiled looking at him and again started doing her work.

After an hour the quarters round was about to over and now anika was plating the dishes.

And finally Punjabi thali was ready.

All the contestants were asked to outside and the results will be declared after an hour.

All moved outside and anika finally meet shivaay and started scolding him.

Anika (in anger)  - why did u came here u know na u need rest if u don't rest then how will u perform the next round.

Shivaay - oh so madam is sure that u will qualify.

Anika ( in confidence)  - yes I will.
And yes don't change the topic u go to the room and rest omru rivya take him to the room Mr. Akdu singh oberoi.

Shivaay raised his both hands as he can't argue with his jhansi ki rani.

All moved to the rooms and decided to meet after an hour. When Shakti stopped anika and asked her to come with him.

Both Shakti and anika went to oberoi farmhouse.

Anika after reaching the farmhouse - Papa why are we here u know na results will be out anytime.

Shakti asked to wait and see.

They both moved towards the basement and saw tej their.

Anika - bade papa you here?  Is that culprit was found.

Tej - yes beta look their.

Anika looked at man on chair and her eyes were on fire as her blood boiled looking at him he was none other than that host.

Anika - u, u did this why. U know because of your deed shivaay could die and why hell u are so jealous of him because he changes the the years old trend of beef cooking. U know what our culture means a lot to us ,we are proud Indians. And yes he has nothing to do with that trophy or the cash prize he is here to make India  proud and to accomplish his dreams but people like u will not understand u just need those money u might think that this competition is  money making but for few it's a huge platform to perform.

Tej - u know what oberoi invest more than half of the shares in your competition we could easily arrest u but my boy don't want his fame to come in between his dreams anyway anika why not u decide his punishment.

Anika - bade papa I think we should just forgive him.

Tej - what.

Shakti - but beta he did so wrong with our shivaay.

Anika- I know bade papa but even god gives us second chance then why not us.
(to host)  and yes mister if this happens again then u will see another side of me.
Come on bade papa u meet with shivaay and results will be anytime soon. Let's go.
