In her room, Gangaa is also thinking about what she said before Sagar. Janvi comes there. Are you studying or thinking about someone? Gangaa says you have no other work. You always want to know what others are doing or thinking. It isn’t your mistake though! You don’t have any other work. You should do something better for your future. Janvi taunts her. I will celebrate V-Day with Sagar tonight. You can enjoy with your books. You have nothing else to do! Gangaa says such topics might be special to you. You might need excuse to have your lover close to you. I don’t think so. For me, every day is special. How will those, who give importance to just one day, understand love. Those who love someone for real are never alone. Wish you could understand it. If your love is with you, then why are you wasting your time here with me? Janvi looks angrily at her. Gangaa advises Janvi. Life is beautiful! You get to live it once. Instead of interfering in other people’s lives, think about your own life for once. It will do you good. She goes from there. Janvi is irked by her arrogance and pride. I will break it! Gangaa always walks with her head held high. She won’t be able to hide her face behind anything after tonight’s party!
Janvi is busy doing the decorations with Maharaj ji. Gangaa gives Amma ji milk. Janvi thinks to seek her help in this special party. She asks Gangaa to help her and Maharaj ji! Amma ji mutters how these rituals from foreign land are happening in our house now! Madhvi asks Janvi to check on the food. See if it is being made rightly. Amma ji and Madhvi ask Gangaa to help Janvi. The guests will come soon. Gangaa sits down to help Maharaj ji. Janvi smiles. Poor Gangaa! She doesn’t know that she will lose her everything in the party for which she is working!
The neighbour ladies gossip with Amma ji about people who even elope from their houses for love. Prabha taunts Amma ji by saying that there are two young girls in this house and a boy. You must be careful. Gangaa retorts that she knows how to
take care of herself. Don’t worry about me. Prabha taunts her for her behaviour. You roam around so weirdly. Amma ji tells Prabha not to worry about Gangaa. She has been raised by me. she knows the difference between right and wrong. I myself will not spare her if she looks at any guy even by mistake. Prabha continues saying, we often don’t know about all what happens in front of our eyes. Yash looks at Janvi from top to toe. He keeps his hand on her shoulder and she pushes it away. You could call out for me? He says sorry Sister-in-law, but you look fabulous! What were you listening to? She says I was listening to your mother’s convo. I cannot wait to see everyone’s reaction after playing that video. Amma ji shut your mother’s mouth for now. It will be fun when everyone will point their fingers at Gangaa!
Janvi suggests playing a game first in which the guys’ eyes will be blindfolded. They have to find their partner that ways. Pulkit is the first one. He guesses Supriya’s hands right. Everyone claps for them, including Gangaa. It is Ratan’s turn now. He guesses wrongly. It is Sagar’s turn next. Prabha asks for water. Gangaa goes to bring it. Sagar touches everyone’s hands one by one. Janvi holds out her hands for him but right then, Gangaa extends her hand to give water to Prabha. Sagar holds her hand by mistake. Everyone is taken aback. Sagar removes the blindfold and is surprised to see Gangaa. Sagar and Gangaa look at each other. Prabha whispers in Janvi’s ears. I thought he will hold your hand. See what happened! Janvi scolds Gangaa. Who asked you to come in between? Can you not see that we are playing? Gangaa quietly turns to go when Sagar holds her hand yet again. He reprimands Janvi for talking rudely to Gangaa. She is my Childhood friend. You think you know me well enough. You must also know then how much Gangaa means to me! She knows me better than I know myself. She has been with me at every low and high of life. I might not be alive today if it was not for her! Madhvi steps in between. She diverts everyone to other games.
All the couples are dancing to romantic numbers. Gangaa imagines dancing with Sagar. Amma ji shakes her out of her reverie. Gangaa thinks why does she dream of things that can never come true? Amma ji asks her to set her bed. I want to sleep! This drama will continue. Is this a thing to watch? Janvi stops her. Amma ji replies that she sleeps early and wakes up early too. Janvi requests her to stay back for the last round of the party. Amma ji gives in. Janvi thinks Gangaa should get ready for a blast now. I will tarnish your image in such a way that you won’t be able to imagine! She signals to Yash.
Yash plays the video in which everyone has recorded their bytes on love. Light is switched on again. Janvi goes to Yash. Where is Gangaa’s video? He asks her to wait for a while. My plan is awesome. Don’t worry. Now the big blast will happen. He sends the video to everyone present in the party on their mobile phones. Amma ji wonders why everyone’s phone is ringing all of a sudden. They all check their phones. The expressions change on everyone’s faces. Janvi asks Yash what this is? Yash says this is the masterstroke. Everyone looks at Gangaa. Amma ji asks them the same.
Gangaa checks the video on Sagar’s phone. She is seen sitting on a sofa while a Man removes his shirt. The man walks towards her. She drops the phone stunned.
Amma ji also checks the video. Pulkit refuses to believe it. Who did this? Gangaa looks at Sagar. Every person in the party is looking at Gangaa. Gangaa notices everyone staring at her. She explains to them that she did not do anything. I don’t know who this person is. Trust me. Amma ji sits down shattered. Gangaa says I have been brought up by you. I cannot go wrong. Amma ji asks her if this is how she pays her back? She pushes Gangaa away. Don’t touch me! She requests Pulkit and Supriya to speak up. You know me. I didn’t do anything. Madhvi is also broken. You should have at least thought of your Sir! Sagar is all quiet as well. Gangaa asks him to speak up. Gangaa can never be wrong. He is still quiet. Gangaa looks at him in disbelief. She steps back in shock. You also don’t believe me? Janvi smiles. Gangaa says there is nothing left for me now when you only turned your face away. Janvi tells Yash he did a great job. You are intelligent. Yash says if I push the send button, then the entire town will know of Gangaa. He does so. Janvi compliments him.
People in Banaras checks the video.
Prabha walks up to Gangaa. She pulls her hand to make her turn towards her. Are you happy now? You have stained our name. You were found on the road. Niru brought you from there. You deserve to stay there only! I wonder since when this has been going on and with how many men! She looks at Sagar. Prabha asks her to look at her. You used to speak so highly of self-respect. What happened to you now? Your name is Gangaa and you do such things! She turns to Amma ji. I told you this girl will bring shame to our house. You didn’t listen to me! Gangaa used to roam around town so openly. This was bound to happen. You were taking her side a while ago. You said you will not spare Gangaa if she goes wrong. You have been shamed because of her today! She asks Gangaa to say something. Is this what your mother and Bappa taught you? Gangaa tells her to stop. Don’t say anything against my parents. I did not have my mother by my side for years, but my Bappa took care of me very nicely. I am his pride. I can never do something which will make him look down. Prabha claps for her. you are still acting to be so good. Gangaa declines doing anything like that. I don’t know from where these photos came from. I don’t know that place or the guy in the video! I did not do anything. Someone has certainly! Amma ji slaps her. Shameless girl! if it was any other girl in your place, then she would have killed herself by now. You are still arguing with us! Yash asks Janvi if she is enjoying the drama? Amma ji requests the guests to leave. Pulkit tries to say something, but Amma ji does not let her. She also quietens Prabha. People remark that Gangaa has hurt Amma ji badly. The guests leave and so does Prabha and her family.
Amma ji asks Gangaa if she does know that guy? Don’t you know who that was happening with? Should we refuse to believe what we saw it with our own eyes? She is also in tears. Sagar stands there silently. Amma ji leaves for her room and so does Sagar. Everyone leaves one by one. Gangaa continues to cry alone. She looks at her hands.
Janvi meets Yash. This was not in our plan. Yash says but it added spice to our plan. I thought Gangaa and Pulkit’s video might not do justice to our plan. I used my brain then. I had Gangaa and Pulkit’s photo. I browsed online and found a new video. I replaced the girl’s face with Gangaa. A new video was made. This will create the kind of drama we want! You must have understood now how smart I am. I can jump in Ganga river for my beloved Sister-in-law. This is nothing. Gangaa will not stay in the house now. No one will let a characterless girl stay in this house anymore! A girl’s respect is like a mirror. If it breaks once, then it can never be repaired. I did half of the job. You can do the rest. Sagar was stunned after seeing the video. He didn’t doubt even for a second. She says good job. She gives him money. You deserve a big amount for such a task! He agrees. Janvi thinks to use this time to her favour. I should do something right now so that this family throws Gangaa out of the house right away.
Gangaa recalls the party scene and how Sagar stood silently. You did not say anything. Just like others, your face also had question marks. Amma ji comes there. Why are you sitting here now? Amma ji picks up her slipper. She asks Gangaa to hit her with this. People are anyways going to do this only after knowing about the video. Gangaa stops her from doing so. Trust me. I did not do anything. Why are you punishing yourself? Amma ji says how will I face people? What will I say to others? You did bring doom to the house! This is what I feared. Gangaa says I did not do anything. The world, society can think anything. I don’t care. I know I did not do anything wrong. Gangaa was and is pure as Ganga river. Amma ji replies we saw it with our own eyes. Your arrogance has brought your doom! You might not care, but I do! I will have to answer people. Our respect is gone. You are still the same! Gangaa says this is my confidence, my self-respect. Any lie, be it big enough, cannot snatch my self-respect away from me.
Gangaa tells Amma ji to hear her heart. I will also listen to my heart though. My heart says that I should fight till I am sure I am right. I should fight for myself and against the society even if I have to do it alone, even if anyone else refuses to stand by me. I should continue fighting for my self-respect and I will fight! Amma ji is all the more tensed. She might not care, but I know the world more than you. A storm will come after this incident.
Madhvi comes to Janvi’s room, but she is not there. Where would she have gone to at this hour? Janvi is entering back inside when Madhvi notices her. Janvi stops in her tracks. Madhvi asks her about her whereabouts? Janvi lies that she went outside for fresh air. I was feeling suffocated inside. Madhvi wants to ask her something. Hope you will not lie? I know you love, Sagar but you are also insecure regarding Gangaa. I know you dislike her and want to keep her away from you and Sagar. I am asking you directly. Are you involved in what happened today? Answer truthfully. Janvi acts hurt. How can you event think like that about me? It is true I love Sagar. It is also right that I don’t like it when Gangaa comes in between us, but I cannot fall so low. I know how important character and respect are to a girl! She thinks of Yash’s words and repeats them before Madhvi. Madhvi thinks if the MMS was true then. Is Gangaa actually doing something like that? She heads to her room. Janvi heaves a sigh of relief. Thankfully, I remembered Yash’s dialogues or I would have been caught today!
Sagar thinks of the MMS and of Gangaa’s words. He notices an axe kept nearby a piece of log. He is angry / hurt as Prabha’s words echo in his head. He cuts the log using the axe. Janvi asks him if he has gone mad? He goes to another corner. Janvi thinks Sagar is hurting himself for that illiterate Gangaa. This is no time to fight. I will have to act sympathetic with him. She stands next to him. I understand the shock you and all the family members have just received. Think about Gangaa once. She is young. What if she is a widow, she has needs. It isn’t wrong if she finds someone. It is wrong that the video came out in the open. Gangaa should have been careful before getting physical with someone. She should have checked if someone is looking or recording it. He is about to slap her and shouts at Janvi to stop. He stops his hand mid-air. Janvi is shocked to see him thus. You will hurt me? You will raise a hand at me because of that Gangaa? She did not think of you or your family before doing something like that! Your family is being insulted because of her yet you will hit me? Why are you angry? What wrong did I say? Gangaa is young and beautiful. She has no rights to live her life her way? It is ok if she wants to sleep with someone? He angrily tells her it is enough! He leaves from there. Janvi is angry. Sagar was about to hit me because of Gangaa? His pain is deep. If Sagar is behaving like this, then what about the other family members?
