"Anuj...." Vanraj began with pain in the eyes. "You know how much my children mean to me. The pain of a father...who can understand it better than me?
...I can't stand seeing your suffering anymore....but since I have 3 and you have none..."
Pakhi, Toshu and Samar perks up.
"I should have asked you this before, children - "
"No, no, we are ready" all three adults pretending to be children said in unison.

Pakhi immediately speaks up. "Buddy, ever since I met you, I always used to think you were so cool"

Anuj's expression doesn't change.
Toshu's speaking difficulty seemed to have disappeared. "I've always thought my mom made the best choice by marrying you"
(Flashback to Toshu calling Anupama characterless in association with Anuj)
"What if I don't get a penthouse, I'd love Kapadia house."
Samar, however has tears in his eyes. "Anuj, you saved my life once"
Anuj turns his attention completely to him.
"Now that Choti has left, you feel dead inside, I can feel it. Please let me repay you by giving me the opportunity to bring you back to life...least I can do..."
Anuj looks away, back to Vanraj. He starts shaking his head. "No, no, no...this is not what I want...no, no. What I want is...". He composes himself and looks straight at Vanraj. "....you...."
