At the breakfast-table, everyone is praising Sarika's home remedies for their ailments. (Shikha of course gets annoyed!). Komal and Rakesh drop in for a visit. Jai is talking to Ghutan in the phone, trying to figure out a way of letting Sarika attend college. Jai wants it to be with the knowledge and consent of the whole family. But then Komal enters happily and says she is going to Delhi with Rakesh. She is excited because when they are in a different city, she has the freedom to be out till late in the night and wear jeans (poor girl!). She tells Jai that going out for a few days is a good way to get a break from the restrictions of home.
Meanwhile Rakesh is also telling the elders of the house this very thing. Santosh is very displeased. She scolds Komal for breaking her sasural's maryada behind their back. She compares Komal with Sarika, pointing out how Sarika meekly accepted her decision to not allow her to continue her studies. This, of course, upsets Komal's mood and she gets annoyed with Sarika.
Shikha fans Komal's annoyance by telling her that these days, everyone in the house is compared to Sarika, and "usne toh Masa par jaadu kar diya hai." Komal says she won't come home again for a long time. While leaving, she answers Sarika curtly. Shikha is happy that at least one person is on her side now.
Santosh calls a panditji home to check the kundalis of Jai and Sarika. He tells them that there is some tension in their relationship. Sarika tries to deny it, but Santosh gets worried.
Jai tells his father that just as he and his mother are right in what they are doing, he, as a husband, is also convinced that what he is doing is right. Since the rules of their house forbid Sarika to study, he has taken a decision-- to leave the house.
