In another part of the house, Abhi is being questioned by his mother, who is very upset, because she has found that her son for whom she devoted her whole life, has fallen for the charms of a girl, whom he knew only for a few days. Vibha is kept out of the discussion, and Minoo Tai decides that Naina is not a fit person to be a member of her household. She is angry with her sister for not correcting her son. The matter ends there as far as she is concerned, as she has already found a respectable Marathi girl to be her worthy daughter in law, to tie the knot with her son.
We are shown Akruti going to the Maternity clinic, for a check up,all anxious and worried, and she gets a call from her mother, whom she bluffs saying that she is with a client and her mother says that her office is closed and Naina is at home but she is told that the meeting was important. Just then the doctor says loudly calling for the next patient. Shyamal hears the conversation, as Akruti has not closed the mouth piece, and when her mother asks who the patient is, she covers her mouth piece and says, she will tell her when she comes home. The doctor prescribes her some medicines, and tells her that the reports will be sent to her house, but she tells her that she will come to pick them up.
Abhi is escorted by his Aunt Vibha to the ground floor, where there is a general assembly of the Patwardan house, with Abhi as the main guest, and with the agenda of getting a plan ready to coax the mother of Abhi, to accept Naina. Rohini volunteers, to the consternation of her husband, and she leaves them to go up to convince Abhi;s mother. Every one among the viewers have known her capacity to convince She pretends to be a dutiful person, and builds up her argument, tells her that her son gave an expensive diamond ring to Naina, with the ultimate aim to disqualify her arch enemy, Naina. She thinks she has succeeded, after a long and winding monologue of accusations and insinuations. Minoo Tai has some advice for her too after listening patiently.. She starts first by complimenting her for telling everything she had known, and says, she is relieved to hear her point of view. As Rohini is elated, there comes a pin prick in her balloon. Her aunt tells her, "If you were half as good as you were in convincing me, with your mother, Vibha, you would have been a very happy person. Instead of pressing your electric bell to get her to do your work, you should have done her the favor of doing her jobs," She adds, that her mother in law has kept her on her head. Rohini rushes down, to turn the tables against Minoo Tai, and tells them she has not changed her mind.
Vibha proposes a new plan, and they huddle around listening to her, and the audience is kept out of the discussion, as the sound is off, and only gesticulations are allowed to be seen. But the conclusion is loud and clear, all agree that the idea is good. What it is, is a matter for another day. When Abhi wants to speak to Naina, the self important guy, notices his fiancee is missing. So too is Daksh. He goes to find out where they could be.
In the garden outside, Naina is unburdening her heart to Daksh and tells him, how unfit she is to be a wife as she does not know any traditions or customs. She says, wearing a traditional garb, does not make one traditional. She tells him, that she has always done what she thought was right, irrespective of what others thought, and that is coming in her way. Then she asks, "Who will marry me ?" - Daksh takes a long time, and then he tells her, "I will. Will you marry me? I will not ask you of your past. Have you ever found out what my mother thinks?" She is so surprised, that she just stares at him. Abhi just then enters the scene, and wants to know what the two of them are talking about. He has already taken himself to me the master of the house, and is very self confident and talks above her head. She brings him down to earth, and asks, "What rubbish are you talking?" He tells her that he was just joking. Daksh is silently but reluctantly listening to his cousin's egoistic banter. Anyone, with a modicum of intelligence would gauge the two men, and find Daksh the better. Wonder what Naina would conclude.
Abhi asks in passing if she has already told her mother, and she thinks of the day, when her step mother Anjali, told her that she was not her birth mother. She tells Abhi that she has not told her mother. Then Abhi as usual, self ingratiates himself, trying to show his better side, while making a fool of himself to the viewer of the show. He wants to take his 'bride to be' home to his mother, and asks for one more day. He tells her that he can impress her mother, but if his mother can not change her mind, he seems to say, the second choice for Naina, is his cousin Daksh, and she could marry him. Would that, Naina measured his self importance and his inflated ego. She should choose Daksh who is quietly taking her side, in every difficult situation.
At home a courier comes with reports for Akruti, and she too enters the house, when Shyamal tells Vibha to sign for the envelope, as her hands are occupied. Akruti is stunned.
