Today the episode lasted one hour. Santosh sees Naveen with Sarika and is aghast. Komal asks her what is the matter, but she tells her it's nothing. Later in her room, she tells herself that her eyes say one thing and her heart wants to believe otherwise. Sarika comes with her explanation; but Santosh refuses to listen. Sarika is very dejected. She tells herself that she must get that attendance register at any cost. She asks Taruna to get it for her as she herself has to attend the community's Independence Day celebrations. Taruna tells Jay. He assures her he will get the register for his Sarika.
The celebrations start with Gopal Poddar welcoming all and calling his brother Ghanshyam to speak about Independence. Ghanshyam gives a long speech about how independence means honouring one's traditions and sticking to the strictly defined roles of men and women. He ridicules the idea of women going out of the house for work (all this is obviously aimed at Sarika).
Jay tells Ghutan to stay inside the makeup room and cover for him while he goes to Sarika's college. He meets Taruna at the entrance. To avoid being asked for his I-card, he slips into a peon's uniform again. Taruna shows him Prof Tripathi's room, but it is locked. He manages to sneak into the staff room and get the keys; but just as he manages to find the right key and open the cabin, the prof catches him red-handed. They get into a scuffle. Jay manages to escape, but minus the register. He rushes back just in time to meet his brothers backstage.
The programme starts with another family's bahu giving a good dance performance. Then the Poddars go on stage. Jay plays a trader who asks all the Poddar bahus what independence means to them. They all say different things. But when it is Sarika's turn, she remains silent. Everyone is puzzled and embarrassed but Jay quickly moves on to Santosh. She says that freedom to her means staying within roles and restrictions (!) . Now everyone moves off the stage, but Sarika remains standing. She gives an emotional speech about how freedom means being able to embrace your dreams; about how age-old traditions should change with time and how a woman should not have to give agni-pariksha to prove herself.
At the end, the audience claps heartily for Sarika. Only three people are frozen--Shikha, Ghanshyam, and Santosh.
