She wants 4 holidays in a month, instead of the regulation 2, and when Shruti objects Lakshmi wants her to check with Arya. Shruti sends the maid away and Arya says she didn't hire her as she was good looking. To prove his point Arya steps out on the street and sees all the maids in Gurgaon are butt ugly as pretty ones don't get hired by the wives. Dr Basu's maid quits as his mother objects to her using the living room bathroom instead of the one on the roof. While going she retorts that she has a farmland and NEGRA and DBT benefits.
