* The awkward meeting between Srikant and Suchi at a seaside hotel where both have been lying about their reasons for being there - Suchi because she is meeting with a friend who harbours some romantic feelings for her and Srikant because he traced Suchi's whereabouts illegally and followed her there. But the best is Srikant and JK's pathetic attempts to pretend to Suchi that they didn't expect to run into her there.

!! Series (Prime Video's ''Series/TheFamilyMan'')
'''Warning: spoilers are unmarked.
!!! Season 1
* Srikant driving his children to school in a rattly old car which even his children are embarrassed of:
** When a motorcyclist grazes past their car and damages the side view mirror, Srikant begins to say "Maderch*d" (the Hindi word for "Motherf-") but stops as soon as he remembers that his children are in the car. His children were hoping he would say the word and are disappointed.
** After the motorcyclist hurls abuse at Srikant, Srikant's son has had enough. He tells Srikant that he knows the word that Srikant was going to use and promptly yells out "Makhanchor" - a totally innocuous word (literally "butter-stealer").
** After he drops his children off in front of their school the car sputters painfully before it starts again - to his children's excruciating embarrassment.
* JK's attempts to flirt with Zoya. Srikant is disgusted.
* When JK reveals that the heartrending story that Srikant told Moosa about not being able to be with his dying mother was made-up. Even better, according to JK, Srikant often uses this story when trying to gain the trust of suspects.
* Srikant persuades a woman on a scooter to give him a ride to chase down a suspect. His story? The man is running away with his "mangal sutra" (the Hindu equivalent of a wedding ring). The woman is outraged on Srikant's behalf and obliges by giving him a ride.

!!! Season 2
* Doubles as a BrickJoke (building on Srikant's trick of making up stories on the spot to gain people's trust): Seeing Milind struggle with SurvivorsGuilt, Srikant tells him a story about a situation where Srikant's inaction resulted in a colleague's death and resulted in Srikant blaming himself for a long time until he realised one day that this is the nature of the job. The anecdote obviously helps Milind. Afterwards, JK laughs and tells Srikant that the story was great and he hasn't lost his touch at making up stories. Srikant stares at JK, clearly offended - this is one story that he hadn't made up.
* The scene where Suchi and Srikant attend marriage counselling. The marriage counsellor's advice is in the form of inspirational quotes that (Srikant suspects) were searched up on Google. Srikant retaliates by responding with dialogues from Hindi films which he liberally strews with expletives.
* Also doubles as a HeartWarming scene, but the meeting between Srikant and JK at the hospital when JK is recovering from his injuries:
--> '''JK''': I honestly thought I was gone this time. I swear.
--> '''Srikant''': The next time you go on a raid without my authorisation, motherf***, I will shoot you myself.
--> '''JK''': Don't cry, asshole. ''[Srikant sniffles and looks away]'' I am alive. ''[Srikant continues to sniffle]''
--> '''JK''': ''[Imitating Creator/RajeshKhanna]'' Pushpa, I hate tears. ''[Srikant laughs in spite of himself]''
