Vikram says that he's breaking off the engagement
-Patil House-
Neetu apologizes to Vikram for saying all that, but Vikram doesn't listen. Neetu pleads to Mrs. K and talks about being ladki-wale and that they've already started preparing for the wedding
Neetu falls at Mrs. K's feet and begs her not to decline. Vikram asks her to get up and Neetu stars to give him a sob story about girls with broken rishtas. Vikram says that on her assistance, he is ready to give Sanju another chance.
Vikram says that he has some conditions for Sanju to follow: 1) Sanju will keep coming to their house daily. 2) Sanju will call Mrs. K 'Maa' instead of 'saasu-maa'. 3) Sanju stops going to Morning News and quits writing her column. 4) Sanju will never question any of his (Vikram's) decisions. 5) Sanju has to break all relations with Sid.
Vikram says that if Sanju accepts, then he won't break the engagement. He asks Sanju to adapt just like Rachna did. Neetu and Kaku accept all the conditions from Sanju's side, but Vikram says that he wants Sanju to answer.
Sanju thinks for a while, but eventually says yes. Vikram is happy, and leaves with Vivek and Mrs. K.
Chandu and Prakash blast Neetu for speaking to Sanju like that on the phone. Neetu replies that she wouldn't have said anything if she knew Vikram was on the other line, and that she cares about her daughter. Prakash explains again that this is also about Sanju. Neetu retorts that Sanju has no boundaries, and that she can't trust Sanju after seeing her with Sid at Rekha's wedding.
Neetu keeps taunting Sanju for having no shame and not caring about what society thinks. Sanju runs out of the room crying and Prakash shouts at Neetu about crossing all lines today.
-Sanju's room-
Sanju is sitting on the floor, thinking about all of Vikram's conditions. Aai tells her to stand up, and tells her that she (Sanju) isn't happy with the rishta, and it is apparent. Aai asks her again if she wants to get married, and gives her till the next day to decide. The mama's come there and tell her that nothing means more than her happiness.
Neetu is listening to this and thinks that she will make sure that Sanju is married, and to Vikram only.

Prakash then warns Neetu that he won't hear anything against Pushpa (Aai) or Sanju, and if Sanju isn't happy, then they will break the alliance. Rachna from the door says that she won't find anyone like Vivek, and is she doesn't get married to Vivek, she won't marry anyone.

-Next Morning – Sanju Room-
Sanji is getting ready and thinks that Vikram definitely not her manzil. She thinks that her family will understand her decision, but Vikram will never understand her. She thinks about Rachna and thinks that since Vivek and Rachna love each other, they'll get married anyway. She now she (Sanju) will do what she should have done initially.
Neetu comes to Sanju and apologizes, and tries to justify her actions. Neetu tells Sanju to only listen to her heart (While Kaku watches happily from the door).

Everyone is waiting for Sanju to announce her decision. Sanju comes and says that she's thought a lot, and made her decision. She says that she's ready for marriage. Chandu asks how she slept, and Sanju says that she was up all night thinking. Prakash asks Sanju if she's sure about this, and Sanju says she is, and no one will be bothered by this issue anymore. She will marry Vikram and this is her decision alone.
Aai says that everything she said at night was a warning, and Sanju says that she's thought a lot and made her decision. Aai says that she doesn't want to see any unhappiness on her (Sanju's) face anymore, nor in her voice or actions, or she will kick Sanju out. Sanju says that her burden will be off her (Aai's) shoulders soon.
Kaku tells the girls to get ready, and Rachna happily agrees

He says that he has to return some stuff, and asks her to come to the same place (where they used to meet I guess), right now.
Sanju asks Rachna if everything is okay and she tells Sanju to go ahead to the Kulkarni's, she will come soon. Sanju asks what's wrong and Rachna snaps back that she has some important stuff to do in college, which is why she's going. Sanju is surprised that Rachna lied to her.
