In the canteen, some students snigger that the canteen contractor has pataoed the PMT topper and their romance is in full bloom. Sarika holds Jai's hand and tells them that he is her husband. This silences them.
Shikha calls her friends home for a kitty party. In the middle of it, Dadi and Santosh enter and are aghast. Santosh blasts Shikha for daring to do this in the house. Shikha answers back saying she is being given stepmotherly treatment because she is not her "sagi bahu" unlike the favoured Sarika.
Santosh is so shaken after the incident tht she asks Dadi to take back all responsibilities from her, as she is incapable of performing them now. But Dadi tells her not lose heart. She says Shikha must be punished now by depriving her of something.
Garima is scolding Amu so fiercely that the child is upset. Sarika intervenes. Garima lashes out saying people in the house can only see her scolding Amu, not noticing what else is wrong. This leaves Sarika worried. She calls Jai to come home immediately.
Naveen is shifting his room in the hostel under Tripathi's supervision. Sarika's photo falls out, along with pics of other girls which his mother had sent for his rishta. Tripathi sees Sarika's pic and taunts Naveen that this is the reason why they are glued to each other in class. Naveen is shocked. He remembers how someone rang up his family and told them that Sarika is having an affair with a hooligan and they are planning to run away. Now he understands it was Jai.
He goes to the canteen. Jai thanks him for giving sound advice on the problem of Sarika's practicals and hugs him, but Naveen confronts him with the fact that he sabotaged the rishta between him and Sarika. He asks, if Sarika was having an affair with a hooligan, how come she married Jai?
(Note: This may seem like a blooper--if Naveen was supposed to marry Sarika, how come he didn't recognise her when they met in class? But he says that he remembered who Sarika was only after seeing the photo. I guess it's possible for him not to have placed her if her surname had changed and he had been assuming that she would have run off with some hooligan by now.)
