1) Nikumb threatens to quit his column at the newspaper if the picture showing him and Yamini at the engagement gets published and the editor gives in to his demand after protesting a bit...the leverage being that Nikumb's column is super hit and he can't afford to lose that.
2) Nikumb's theater group had been trying to reach him all day about an emergency but he'd been busy with this picture crisis...finally him and Yamini rush back only to find out that their leading actor has landed up in jail so now they have no one to play Dushyant.
3) Everyone is upset for a bit...Yamini tries to cheer up Nikumb and ultimately hits upon the idea that Nikumb should play Dushyant in the play as no one knows the whole play better than him...she rallies the whole group including Azam to support her in convincing Nikumb but Nikumb gets very upset and vehemently refuses to act in the play.
4) Azam reveals to Yamini the reason why Nikumb won't act in the play is because his own father always discouraged him when he wanted to act and told him that he's no actor and shouted at him if he ever showed up around the stage or theater...this left a lasting impact on Nikumb's psyche.
5) Yamini decides to talk to Nikumb about this and help him overcome this wound of his past...that is where the epi ends.
Precap shows Raghu childishly pulling down Nikumb's portion of the poster of the play which has him featured as Dushyant and Raghu shouts that the play will be named only Shakuntala, no Dushyant in the title😆
