Nandini:chalo give mama a hug....

She said while she felt his gaze on her... abaan and abhay pounched on her. .. after that the whole malhotra family wished abaan and abhay...and met manik....but cabir stayed back... as he was still angry on him...

She said a little loudly... while everyone stayed silent... coz they know how she handled both of them that to alone... while manik didn't liked her tone talking to their kids....
