The morning of the roka ceremony was filled with the aroma of delicious South Indian delicacies prepared by Archana, Vandana, and the cooks. As everyone savored the homemade dosa, idli, sambhar, and vada, Varsha opted for fruits and vegetable juice, mindful of her appearance for the evening ceremony.

Anant, noticing Varsha's choice, inquired why she didn't indulge in the South Indian breakfast. Varsha's cheeks flushed as she revealed her intention to avoid bloating, wanting to look her best for him. Her candid confession caught Anant off guard, but he reassured her with a tender compliment, affirming, " Vaaruu! You look beautiful all the time!" Varsha blinked in surprise at the new nickname Anant bestowed upon her, feeling a flutter in her heart.
