EDITED VERSION
Garv enters the court and announces that he will be fighting the case for Mahi Kapoor. He says that he wants to figure out the reason for this divorce. He says that Kkusum used to meet Abhay outside of the Kapoor house but now she is living in the same house…. He calls in his first witness, Mahi. Mahi says that the ongoing tension between her and her husband is because of Kkusum as Abhay wants to give her place to kkusum. Garv calls kali to the witness box… Kali says that she never saw her parents fighting until kkusum showed up… Garv says that you are only blaming kksum and not your own dad… Kali says that her dad's mistake is that he is leaving her mom for kkusum. Next, Garv calls Abhay to the witness box… He asks the reason for leaving mahi… he asks if it is because of kkusum. Abhay says that it is because Mahi always doubted their relationship and they fought everyday… He says that Mahi went to the extent of killing Kkusum. Garv asks him if he doubts Mahi's character and Abhay says no. Garv then calls Kkusum…. He asks her if Abhay was leaving Mahi cause of her and what is your relation with him….. Kkusum says that he knows what it is but Garv says that even though he knows, the court would want to hear it too… Kkusum does not say anything… Garv says that he got the answer and that she can go…. Garv says that Abhay is leaving Mahi because he loves Kkusum… so Mahi is not at fault. Judge announces that the court is adjourned for the day. Outside the court house, Mahi thanks Garv… She says that she knew Garv would handle the case well. Garv sees Abhay and Kkusum outside… Abhay says that it is not right that he took Mahi's side… Garv says that even though he is a professional lawyer, he always fights for truth. Abhay says that he doesn't know the truth and what Mahi actually did. Garv says that kkusum came between Abhay and Mahi and that's the only reason he is divorcing Mahi. Abhay asks Garv not to say anything to Kkusum as she is his life and identity. Garv says that Mahi was with him for 20 years and he is leaving her for someone like Kkusum. Abhay catches Garv's collar… Mahi shouts Abhay! Kkusum takes Abhay with her.
At Kapoor house, Abhay and Kkusum come in… Mahi tells everybody that today Abhay brought the truth in front of everybody…. They should wish him, distribute sweets, and celebrate diwali today. Mahi says that Abhay can't see how much it hurts her that he brought kkusum to their house. Abhay says that it doesn't make any difference now and why is she crying… he says that Mahi is the only reason for the "badnami" they have to face today… mahi says that she was not the one who took him to court… she even tore the papers… He was the one who wanted a divorce. Kapil says that they can solve the matter at home instead of going to the court. Mahi says that there is no use in explaining to him… She says that I am bad but do they know how bad Kkusum is? Mahi says that kkusum will not rest until this family is destroyed… Mahi asks Abhay to just kill her once and then he can stay with kkusum all his life. Mahi leaves crying.
Abhay and kkusum are talking…. Abhay asks kkusum to not get tensed as she knows how mahi talks. Kkusum says that she doesn't want to trouble the family. She says that she wants the family's happiness and that she doesn't want mahi to be unhappy. Abhay asks her to not bother about Mahi. Kkusum says that Mahi was right and she, herself, has become selfish… Kkusum touches Abhay… Just then, Mahi calls out for Abhay. Mahi tells Abhay that Kali left a letter and went somewhere… The letter said that she was leaving the house till kkusum is there… Abhay blames Mahi for doing all this. Mahi says that he doesn't understand what she and Kali are going through and if something happens to kali she will not spare him. Kkusum asks Mahi not to worry…. Mahi says that everything happened cause of her and she shouldn't say anything… Abhay shouts at Mahi…
Arundati comes to Kkusum… Kkusum says that just because she didn't say anything about the 75 lakhs, Abhay is blaming kali for everything. Aru says that she was sorry that everything happened because of her… she says she will tell everybody about it but Kkusum stops her from doing so. Kkusum says that she'll handle it… Kkusum leaves the house. Abhay asks kkusum where she is going… kkusum says that she has to go… abhay says that what kali did is not her mistake… Kkusum says that Kali is going away from Abhay because of her. She says that Kali did not take the money, she took it. She says they should think twice before they do anything. Abhay says that he has taken a decision and he is going to go with her. All the family members are present there. Kkusum asks Abhay if loving Kali meant more to him or hating mahi…. Kkusum says that she has to leave… Abhay looks at her sadly… They show flashback scenes… the sindoor scene, anniversary party, dancing with Mahi….
Mahi is standing upstairs and watching everything. She calls Kali and tells her that she did whatever Kali asked her to do and now kkusum is out of the house. She asks her to not come back for a few days and have fun… she hangs up. Mahi smiles wickedly and says "goodbye, Kkusum deshmukh, goodbye".
