Everyone was stunned with what they heard.

Yuvaan : "__" (cough**"cough)

Ayush : "__" (nobody can beat father)

Ankur : "__" ( thank god!!! My wife are not here)

Reeta : "__" ( I should have stayed back in the room)

Yuvaan was stunned after hearing this even if he was used to this kind of replies form his father .

He knew what was going to come next, so he said with a straight face and a sharp voice, "It wasn’t me. A wild cat crossed my path."

He then continued, "And I don’t have such weird habbits. I am perfect in everything I do." As if he was not affected by his father's bold words.
