Anupama meets the college principal to discuss the canteen order. The principal asks if she has any references, biodata, or certificates. Anupama presents her tiffin and says, “This is my biodata.” She encourages him to taste the food. He tries it and comments that it tastes good, just like homemade food. Anupama confirms that it is homemade and offers him some sweets.
After tasting them, he agrees they are good. She assures him that she will maintain the same quality and mentions there will be no compromises.The principal shares that his wife used to watch a superstar chef and questions why she returned from America. Anupama explains there were personal issues. He then asks why he should give her the contract.
Anupama responds that students may initially crave outside food, but eventually, they prefer homemade meals. She mentions that she read about giving first chances and asks him to give her that opportunity. Meanwhile, some senior boys spot Sagar’s auto and plan to confront him, but Anuj is driving instead. Anupama asks the principal to think it over and let her know.
He tells her to take her tiffin, and she mentions her niece Meenu will pick it up since ladies don’t leave their tiffins. Curious, he asks who Meenu is, and Anupama explains she is a bright student. She also tells him they handle party orders. The principal asks if she can manage both the canteen and party orders, and Anupama happily confirms she can. He then gives her that first chance.
Pakhi asks Meenu if she has ruined her plan. Kinjal calls Pakhi for her wallet, but Pakhi refuses to get out of the car and tells Meenu to take it to Kinjal instead. Initially hesitant, Meenu eventually goes to Kinjal, who expresses that they are wiser than Pakhi. Anupama exits the college and realizes Anuj is missing from the auto, prompting her to search for him.
Pakhi calls Kinjal, suggesting they come over, but Kinjal insists they are in a long queue. Anuj returns to the auto, explaining he had gone to buy water. He recalls breaking the senior boys’ hockey sticks and returning them. Anupama feels reassured as long as Anuj is with her, and she shares that she got the canteen order.
They get into the auto, and Anupama imagines Anuj in his old avatar, dancing with her to a romantic song. When Anuj brakes suddenly, Anupama snaps out of her daydream. He checks if she is okay, explaining a biker came in front of them. She assures him she is fine. Anuj expresses gratitude to God for seeing Aadhya, prompting him to want to visit the temple.
Meanwhile, Kinjal and Meenu arrive at Asha Bhavan. Meenu apologizes to Sagar for the troubles he faced because of her, but he insists it wasn’t her fault and wipes her tears. He then remembers his truth about the auto uniform and asks her not to come there again, as he cannot bear to see her in pain. She expresses her feelings as well, but he becomes angry and tells her to stay away. Meenu leaves in tears.
Bala Kaka questions why Sagar made her cry, and Sagar explains it’s for her own good, urging Bala to be quiet. He feels bad for hurting Meenu and for being harsh with her. Anuj and Anupama arrive at the temple. Anupama prays to Kanha ji for blessings, expressing gratitude for their happiness and the contract. Anuj shares that he feels Aadhya will be found, thanking Anupama for reigniting their hope.
