Mausiji, Biji, Surili, Mukundi and other residents of Lapataganj visit a fair. They try their luck at some fun games and so on. Everyone wins some attractive goodies.

The luckiest of all is Indumati as she bagged prizes in almost all the fun games and to everyone’s surprise, she gets to take home a giant elephant as the bumper prize on the last day of the fair.

The entire cast and crew was excited to shoot with the animal. It took almost five days to complete the scenes and in the end, the cast felt like the elephant was actually a part of the team. Everyone offered the friendly elephant fruits and named him Bumper.

Sucheta Khanna aka Indumati said “Bumper and I will be seen together in this upcoming special episode. It was great fun shooting with the animal around, though initially I got really nervous. But it turned out to be very friendly.”
