Apollena 7th December 2024 Written Episode, Written Update on Worldofentertainment.in
The episode begins with the Principal refusing to admit Apollena, stating that enrolling a girl in a boys’ college goes against the rules. He asks her to leave, and she walks out of his office. As she descends the stairs, she notices the topper’s list and quickly rushes back to the Principal’s office. She points out that while the list showcases top performers, none of them have topped the UP state board—whereas she has. The Principal examines her marks sheet. Excited, she calls Girdhar to inform him that the Principal has agreed, and she vows to top her 12th-grade exams as well. Girdhar, feeling emotional, warns her about the mischievous boys in the college. She confidently assures him that she can handle them just as well as he handles Dadi and Maa.
As Apollena enters the classroom, the boys mock and laugh at her. Standing at the doorway, she listens as Lecturer Batuk Nath asks a student about electromagnetic rays. The student jokingly replies that he doesn’t know because he hasn’t kissed anyone. Annoyed, the lecturer scolds the class for wasting time and then turns to his son, Sanjay Singh, for an answer. Sanjay hesitates and admits he doesn’t know. Another student, Mohit, mocks him, pointing out that even the lecturer’s own son lacks knowledge. Frustrated, Batuk Nath expresses his disappointment that no one knows who discovered electromagnetic radiation. Apollena speaks up, answering, “Michael Faraday.” The lecturer asks her to enter and repeat her answer. She confidently says, “Michael Faraday.” However, Batuk Nath insists she must call him “Guru Ji” instead of “Sir.” She agrees.
Curious about her presence, he checks her file and realizes she has been admitted because her school’s science department has shut down. He sarcastically questions whether girls should be learning science and asks if she is Girdhar Shukla’s daughter. She nods. He recalls that she was once called “Appu” but notices her name now reads “Apollena.” She explains that her father named her after Apollo 11, the spacecraft that landed on the Moon. Laughing, he jokingly suggests calling her “Rocket.” She confidently replies, “Rocket Girl,” stating her ambition to become India’s first astronaut. He challenges her, asking who Kalpana Chawla was then. Apollena clarifies that Kalpana Chawla had acquired American citizenship before her space journey. With no choice but to allow her in, he grudgingly tells her to take a seat. She sits next to Sanjay, who curiously watches her. Batuk Nath then declares, “Knowledge is the door to heaven, but a woman opens the door to hell.”
Meanwhile, Girdhar visits a sweet shop to buy sweets. Laali, a neighbor, notices and teasingly asks if his daughter’s marriage has been arranged. Girdhar laughs and reveals that Apollena has been admitted to Batuk Nath’s college. He confidently claims she will be the topper. After he leaves, Laali spits out the laddoo, feeling bitter.
Back home, Girdhar offers laddoos to Madhu, who senses he has good news to share. Before he can speak, Amma arrives, furious that Apollena has been admitted to a boys’ school. She scolds Girdhar for making such a decision and warns him about the behavior of boys. Girdhar insists he is not at ease either. Amma then turns to Madhu, questioning how she could allow this to happen.
At college, Mohit and his friends continue teasing Apollena. When she warns them to stay away, Mohit mockingly steps closer and asks, “Or what?” Just then, Sanjay intervenes, urging them to leave her alone as they have a kite-flying competition at Azaad Maidan against KV Intercollege. The boys prepare for the contest. One of them suggests taking Apollena along, but Mohit refuses, saying she would make them lose.
As the competition begins, Apollena observes from the sidelines. Mohit’s brother arrives with a sacred taweez (amulet), claiming it will ensure their victory. Mohit worries that Sanjay might disapprove. Meanwhile, Sanjay notices their opponents’ kite soaring while theirs struggles. Mohit places his faith in the taweez, but Apollena steps in and challenges them, saying the issue lies in their intelligence, not the wind.
Sanjay asks why she is there. She responds that she came on her own and offers to help for the sake of their class’s pride. She explains that kites, airplanes, and rockets all function based on four aerodynamic principles: thrust, lift, drag, and gravity. She recalls Pallavi’s teachings and suggests removing the taweez, as real flight depends on science, not superstitions.
Sanjay questions Mohit about the taweez. Mohit insists it’s a blessing from a baba (spiritual figure). Apollena firmly argues that kites fly because of scientific principles, not magic. Sanjay, convinced, orders Mohit to remove the taweez. As soon as he does, their kite soars high, securing their victory. Overjoyed, Sanjay calls out to Apollena, first addressing her as “Oh girl” and “Madam,” before finally calling her “Rocket Girl.” She pauses upon hearing the name. He thanks her and gives her a thumbs-up. She smiles and walks away.
