Santosh prevents Sooraj from drowning. The Rathi family returns to Pushkar. Santosh accuses Sooraj of becoming a slave to his wife. She tells him to move out of the house with Sandhya. Bhabasa opposes her. He argues with Santosh for forgiving Sooraj when he lied for the sake of his family members, but punishing him because he lied for Sandhya. He fights for a husband's right to fulfill a wife's dream, and criticises her for not accepting Sandhya as a part of the family.
