Scene 1:
INT. SHAH HOUSE – DAY
Anupama returns home, exhausted. Vanraj notices her state and asks about her day. Leela sits beside him, listening intently.
Anupama: (Sighs) Today was a long day.
Vanraj: Did the kids give you a hard time again?
Leela: (Scoffs) Kids? She’s a teacher, Vanraj, not a babysitter.
Anupama hesitates, then reveals, “Actually, Leena Madam fired me.”
Vanraj and Leela: (In unison) What?!
Leela: Fired? But why?
Anupama: She said they wanted someone with more experience.
Vanraj: (Smirks) See, Anupama? I told you this wouldn’t work. You can’t just jump into a new profession without proper qualifications.
Anupama: (Hurt) I was trying, Vanraj.
Leela: (Ignoring Anupama) This is not good at all. Kinjal’s wedding is approaching, and now this financial burden…
Scene 2:
INT. ANUPAMA’S ROOM – NIGHT
Anupama sits on the bed, lost in thought. Samar enters, holding a book.
Samar: Mom, what are you doing?
Anupama: Just thinking.
Samar: About the job? Don’t worry, you’ll find something better.
Anupama: I hope so. But what about your education, Samar? I don’t want you to neglect it because of me.
Samar: Relax, Mom. I’ll manage. We’ll manage. You just need a fresh start. Did you think about that dance class idea again?
Anupama’s eyes light up. “The dance academy! I completely forgot!”
Scene 3:
INT. SHAH HOUSE – DAY
Anupama announces her plan to open a dance academy. Vanraj scoffs, and Leela expresses skepticism, but Samar and Toshu show strong support.
Anupama: I know it’s a risk, but I’m passionate about dance. I can teach others and earn a living too.
Leela: But who will come to your academy? You’re not a professional dancer.
Toshu: Mom can do anything she sets her mind to. We can help spread the word.
Anupama: Thank you, Toshu.
Vanraj: This is all a waste of time. You’ll just fail again.
Anupama: (Determined) We’ll see about that, Vanraj. This time, I’m doing it for myself.
Scene 4:
INT. ANUPAMA’S DANCE ACADEMY – WEEKS LATER
A small, rented space has been transformed into a vibrant dance studio. Anupama leads a group of women in a lively dance session. They laugh and encourage each other.
Leela: (Enters, surprised) I came to see this disaster for myself, but this… this is good!
Anupama: (Smiles) Thank you, Leela. It’s been a lot of hard work, but it’s worth it.
Scene 5:
INT. SHAH HOUSE – EVENING
Vanraj watches Anupama on TV. A news report highlights her dance academy and its positive impact on women in the community. A flicker of respect shows in his eyes.
Samar: (Nudges Vanraj) See, Dad? Mom’s doing great!
Vanraj: (Grunts) Whatever. Just don’t expect me to join your dance classes.
Samar: (Laughs) Never thought I’d see the day!
