Jyoti and Kabir sit together and Kabir notices Jyoti looking sad. He starts talking about pakphere rasam. He reminds her that they have their honeymoon coming up and soon they will have 3 kids. Jyoti becomes upset, remembering what happened before. Kabir tries cheering her up and Jyoti asks why Asha has not had kids yet since she's been married for some time now. Kabir breaks it to her that Asha is Sumer's 3rd marriage. The servant then calls them downstairs to talk to RP.
Chachi is trying to convince RP to do something about Jyoti when they reach. RP tells Kabir that madamji is expecting him in Delhi soon. Kabir brings up the pakphere rasam, but Jyoti tells him that duty always comes first so he should go to Delhi. Chachi offers to go to Jyoti's house along with her. Jyoti goes to the kitchen, where Bhavri is tying up Asha's wounds. Jyoti asks Asha if so much blood can be spilled with the breaking of one glass. Asha explains that she was talking to Sumer while picking up the glass. Kabir enters. Jyoti tells Asha that today she will cook all the food, and everyone will sit together and eat. Bhavri explains that women and men eat separately. Jyoti tells them that today they shall eat together and Kabir tells Asha to send their food to their room.
Upstairs, Jyoti asks Kabir why he said that. He explains that women and men have always been eating separately in their house. He tells how things used to be different when his mother was alive. He reminds her that if she ever feels uncomfortable, they can leave and live elsewhere. Jyoti tells him that you can never run away from your family and she will work hard to bring change. Meanwhile Rashmi goes around town looking for a job as a maid. No one is willing to hire her, as she is obviously pregnant now.
The men are seated for dinner and Kabir thinks that what Jyoti is trying to achieve is going to be difficult. In the kitchen, Jyoti hands plates to Asha and Bhavri and tells them to place them on the table. Chachi intervenes and tells Jyoti that she cannot change the traditions and customs of this family. She says that women have been eating in the kitchen, and that will continue. Jyoti agrees with her and then says that she'll go get Chachi's plate from the table since she will have to eat in the kitchen too then. Chachi asks Jyoti if she thinks their husbands would even want to eat with their wives. Jyoti assures her that they would and they all advance to the dining table. The men are shocked seeing the women and Chachi explains what Jyoti has decided. When Asha goes to sit by Sumer, he gets up. End.
