Aditya says, “I remember Anirudh’s words.” He laughs. Jhanak replies, “Please, I don’t want to talk about it.” He responds, “Fine, I have to go. I have work. I spoke to the producer, and he said he will do the right thing. Don’t worry, you will qualify; it’s my promise.” He leaves.
Lalon says, “If you are Lal, then I’m Lalon. I’m a decorator, I have a team of 25 people, I have my own business; I’m not your servant. I will answer if you ask with love.” Shubh asks, “Shall we not ask you?” Choton says, “Hear him once.” Anirudh asks, “What happened exactly?” Lalon tells them everything.
Shubh asks, “Which temple did you go to?” Lalon replies, “Taaraknath temple.” Dadi says, “It’s very far. Appu, did you go by walk?” Appu nods. Lalon continues, “There was a lot of crowd. We didn’t tell her; I asked her to go back, but she didn’t listen; she caused a scene.” Bipasha adds, “Yes, it’s her habit.” Lal says, “You should have left her at home.” Lalon replies, “You have ego in you. Tell me, she is your sister, your family. How is she my responsibility?”
Shaina, Muskaan, and others ask Jhanak, “Why did you come?” They all taunt her. Jhanak says, “It doesn’t matter if I come here.” Shaina comments, “Jhanak is insulted.” They leave. A man says, “You are called there. Come with me.” Jhanak worries. Lalon explains, “It was a yatra; no one saw her in the crowd. I worked here, I saw her and identified her. Think what would have happened. Did you think it was a marriage baraat? It was a yatra. If any devotee wants to pray to Bhole Baba, then how can I refuse her? There is a way to talk. Look at Choton and Anirudh; you should thank me.”
Appu says, “I have walked a lot. My legs got tired. It started raining, and I fainted. Then Lalon came like a hero. He took me on his shoulder and took me to the temple. He took care of me and made me eat good food. We did the puja, and he got me home. You should say thanks to him; don’t scold him.”
Aditya asks Michael, “Did the producer say anything about Jhanak?” Michael replies, “They don’t want to apologize to Jhanak.” Ruchita welcomes everyone to the quarter-finals.
She says, “Aditya will judge the quarter-finals today.” Anjana thanks Lalon. Shubh says, “He should have called us; he would have our number.” Anirudh agrees, “Yes, you should have called. We were stressed.” Lalon says, “My phone got damaged; it was raining. I had no contact. I’m not irresponsible; there were many girls in the temple; they took care of Appu.” Appu adds, “It’s good you didn’t call. Ani would have come and picked me up. I prayed to get married; find a nice groom for me.”
Ruchita calls Pratiksha for the performance. Pratiksha dances to “Nadiya Paar.” Rudra messages Jhanak. Appu says, “Lalon said my wish will be fulfilled.” Lalon says, “My work is done; I will go now.” Shubh says, “Stop! We have filed a missing complaint for Appu; the police can put you in jail.” Lalon replies, “I was born on the roads and raised in the locality. Jail is like this palace for me; don’t threaten me. You can do what you want; I’m not scared of anyone.” Anirudh looks on.
Appu explains, “I was with him all night.” Tanuja asks, “You were at the temple, Appu?” Appu replies, “Yes, there were many people. Karishma and Prachi have become my friends. Why, don’t you trust me? I went to pray at the temple; I fell asleep on Lalon’s shoulder, and then we had tasty breakfast.” Lalon says, “I have to go to work.” Choton thanks Lalon, saying, “You did a big favor on me.”
A staff member stops Jhanak and says, “You aren’t allowed to go inside; sit there.” Jhanak responds, “Guru ji called me.” He scolds her. Appu and Lalon talk. Bipasha says, “Enough, Appu, go in and take a bath.” Anjana and Bablu thank Lalon. Bablu offers him money for taxi fare. Lalon says, “No, I’m poor, but I have a big heart. I have money, so I’m spending it.
She was hungry, so I fed her. If you want to return anything, feed me someday; that’s all.” Anirudh says, “Thank you so much. You can come here anytime you want.” Appu says, “Please come; I will miss you; otherwise, I will cry.” Lalon agrees, saying, “Fine, I will come.” Everyone looks on. Anjana takes Appu away. Jhanak thinks, “What to do now?” She cries and thinks, “Where will I go now? I have no friends. Will I become a maid? No, I can’t become a burden on Guru ji.”
Ruchita calls the funky boys for the dance. Shaina comments, “Jhanak is sitting alone outside.” Brij adds, “Yes, she can’t dance from now.” Aditya and Rudra look for Jhanak. Rudra leaves. Ruchita calls for a break. Rudra sees Jhanak. Aditya also leaves. Rudra asks, “Are you running away? Where are you going? Answer me.” Jhanak replies, “Forgive me.” Rudra scolds her and tells her to come with him.
