In a new promo of Aata, Niharika welcomes Lavanya with a warm hug. When Sudheer jokes and asks Niharika if she has taken adapaduchu katnam (sister-in-law’s dowry) from Lavanya, he is told that he will be sent to jail. When he said that Lavanya did not know Telugu well, he was told that she could also curse in the language. For the unversed, the actor is from Dehradun and started working in Telugu films in 2012.

Sudheer then puts Niharika and Lavanya in touch with Varun to find out which call he will choose. He interrupts his sister’s call, but answers his wife’s call after one ring. When Niharika scolded him for not answering her call, he said, “I was cheating on (his son).” Vayuv diapers.” When Sudhir noticed that he was quick to answer his wife’s call, Varun said, “You are not married and you don’t have children yet, so you don’t know the problems.” Rambha and Anil Ravipudi were also guests in the episode.
