Guruma is upset and looks guilty . Anupama pleads all must get a chance to speak before they arrive at any conclusion . All agree with Anu .
Anuj is unable to deny Anupama and only for her sake he allows Makti Devi one chance . He asks her to share her “majboori” that forced her to abandon her new born at the orphanage . Baa bad mouths Guruma . Babuji stops her .
Guruma with joined hands guiltily states there was no majboori, there was only ego, dreams, stubbornness, to make it big in life , ambition , madness. Vanraj urges her to speak the entire thing .
Malti debi narrates her entire life story .
How she was born in small poor family , she was affected by gender discrimination, tradition, married off at tender age , how she was stifled in her boring married life . She had the talent but she was never given any chances . When she got pregnant she had to give up one big chance . After she gave birth to her son she got another huge chance at foreign location, she chose her career rather than her motherhood . She left him at Mumbai orphanage and flew off to US .
Anuj apologises for the gender discrimination and oppression she suffered , He shares how he encouraged n supported Anu. Every woman had the right to follow her dreams, and for every dream one had to make certain sacrifices and pay the price , and that applied to anybody who was ambitious . But this did not mean they had to abandon their kids ? He gives example of Rani Laxmi bai who battled with her child tied to her back , while MD only had to go onstage ! Yet she abandoned her child and made Anuj suffer the sacrifices and live at Orphanage . Anuj shares the pain of loneliness and his endless wait, yearning for his parents. She never returned to check on her child even once , Even Maaya returned to her child the moment she was in a stage to take care of her child . This way all working women would abandon their children ! There were innumerable women in all fields of life who work n also take care of family n kids. It is tough but all do it , but Guruma never tried to do it !

CA comes n hugs her papa , they share a loving bond . She tells him it was OK to cry , she supports her papa, she shares how she used to be angry with her Maaya maa ,
