A man stops Rudra. Rudra says he is the main producer of the show. The man argues, saying they only asked Jhanak to make a small apology, so what’s the problem? Jhanak and Rudra confront Brij, while Michael watches. The man insists that Jhanak won’t be allowed to leave until she apologizes on national television. Meanwhile, Anjana worries that if Bablu loses his job, she will have to depend on the family, but Meenu has a job and doesn’t need help.
Choton agrees, questioning if Meenu would even respect him. Dadu and Dadi remind Choton of his childhood friendship with Meenu. Choton, feeling frustrated, tells them they don’t need him anymore. Rudra reassures Jhanak, telling her not to be scared and to come with him. Just then, Aditya arrives. Brij smirks, thinking about how he has prepared a future of unemployment for Rudra, ensuring he won’t get any work. Aditya asks what’s going on.
Michael explains that the producers demanded an apology from Jhanak, and since he has already signed the contract, there’s nothing he can do. Aditya leaves. A couple dances to Teri Baaton Mein… Brij taunts Rudra, saying that this is what real talent looks like and advising him to accept his mistake or risk his career.Dadi complains that Choton doesn’t listen to her. Choton argues that she chose Anjana for him.
Dadi, frustrated, says they won’t discuss his marriage anymore. Choton responds that he just wants her happiness and will follow whatever she decides, but he also wants her blessings. He leaves. Anjana insists that they shouldn’t waste any more time. Dadu advises her to pay attention to how Choton spoke because he might change his words later. Dadi, however, is firm, saying that he has made his decision, so they should move on.
Appu excitedly says that after Choton’s marriage, they should get her married too. Anjana asks who she would marry. Appu teases Dadu, saying she thought he loved her. Everyone laughs. But then Appu reveals that she likes someone else—her “chocolate boy,” Lalon. The family is shocked, and Anjana scolds her. Appu runs away crying.
Back at the show, the producer warns Jhanak one last time to apologize. Jhanak refuses, insisting she did nothing wrong and that she was the one wronged. The man demands that she read a pre-written apology letter on stage. Jhanak, feeling cornered, starts crying. She reluctantly walks toward the stage. Rudra tries to stop her, but Brij smugly declares that she is going to apologize. Rudra protests, urging Jhanak to listen to him.
On stage, Jhanak greets everyone and begins to apologize. Rudra is devastated, knowing it’s not her fault. Jhanak reads from the letter, which falsely claims she used her influence to gain a place in the show. She knows that if she exposes the truth, Rudra will suffer the consequences. She silently apologizes to him in her heart and continues reading.
The producer smirks and orders her to stop talking. But Jhanak, gathering her courage, declares that the letter is a lie. She insists she has no greed or ambition to perform and that she has decided to leave the show on her own. The producers celebrate her departure, while Rudra is in shock. Brij, satisfied, thinks, Good riddance, Jhanak. Jhanak, in tears, exits the stage while Rudra watches helplessly.
