Inder Gujral goes to Mehta House
Pooja is moving in her house at night. She sees everyone sleeping but somehow she doesn't get sleep. She keeps on thinking about what had happened with her and her parents at Ronit's place. Ronit comes to her mind often and she wonders why does she think about her much. Just then, the telephone rings and guess kaun phone karta hai? Nope. It's not Ronit. It's his mom, Maya Gujral. She starts with Pooja again and asks about the whereabouts of Ronit. Maya then proceeds with her usual stuff about chotey aur middle class log and all that. Pooja is annoyed and asks her not to call back again. Maya is frustrated and angry. Frustrated, since she thinks Pooja is very strong and she is not able to do much and angry because Ronit does not listen to her anymore. Inder Gujral comes in and tells Maya that he spent all his life running after work and money and never realised that how Reema and Ronit were growing up. He was feeling bad about it and thinks that he will now stay closer to them and would care about their wishes as well. He asks Maya about going to Mehta house - Maya refuses. It seemed Inder was willing to go.
Annie keeps on thinking what makes Pooja tick. She wonders what she will do next to make sure Ronit forgets Pooja. Just then, Kushan arrives and tells her that all his moves are falling in place and soon he will be able to do what he wants. He tells Annie that Mandy is in love with him and can do anything for him now. Annie is surprised and does not believe that she can do anything. Kushan offers to prove and calls up Mandy on a speaker phone. He acts as if he is not well and keeps on coughing. Mandy picks up the phone and is worried about Kushan and tells him that she will come and see him. Kushan tells her that he doesn't mind but Pooja might - Mandy says she will come anyways. Annie is listening to this and is convinced.
Ronit is not really happy about his parent's behaviour. 24 hours have passed and Ronit's parents have not gone to Mehta House. Ronit tells his parents that he wants to leave his house. Maya tells him not to take such a step but Ronit is admanant. Inder Gujral, sensing the situation tells Ronit that he is willing to go and ask for forgiveness from Rasikbhai and Pooja. Ronit is ecstatic. He is very happy that his dad has understood his feelings and is willing to do anything for his happiness. Inder Gujral goes to Rasikbhai's house. Rasikbhai welcomes him while he asks for water. Rasikbhai tells Poornima to get tea for him and asks Inder if he would like to have something with tea. He says 'Maafi' - if they can give it. He continues and says that he is ashamed about what Maya said to them and she did not understand their feelings. He is here to say sorry for that.
Akash has come to Ronit's house and Ronit is happy and tells him that his dad has gone to Pooja's house. Akash asks for a treat and Ronit agrees. Inder Gujral comes in. Ronit goes and meets him and asks him what happened. Inder Gujral describes what happened and the scenes are shown to us then. After he says sorry, he goes on to tell in a sarcastic way how zameen par rengney waaley kidey bhi bhaari pad jaatey hai and no one can underestimate them. He offers Rs. 50 lac as a scholarship to Pooja to persue her dreams. He tells her that with that money she can go the best film making school in Hollywood. Everyone at Mehta house is shocked. Then, Pooja says that she would like to go to Hollywood, but with her money and refuses to accept it. Even, Rasikbhai is not willing to accept such a huge amount. Ronit realises what his dad has done. He tried to show them the power of money. Ronit is very disappointed and makes it clear to his parents. Then comes the climax - Ronit says that he wants to leave his house. Apna ghar, apney parents aur paisey - sab kuch chodna chahta hai woh. His parents are shocked.
What next? Will Ronit leave his house? If he does, where would he go - Akash ke ghar par? What would Pooja do? And Akash? What about his promise to Ronit? Will he still try and convince Pooja? What about Mandy? Will Kushan be able to do as he has thought about? Dirty tricks, undying love and bond of friendship - all these in the coming episodes. Keep watching and writing.
P.S. I thank you all for your wishes. I hope the pain in my hand vanishes soon and I be able to write regularly. Till then, keep coming in. :)

Friends, this one's gonna be brief for reasons you guys know now. First, make sure you watch this episode if you like happy endings. This one ends with what most of us have been waiting for.
It starts with Ronit leaving his house inspite of Maya Gujral trying to stop him - telling him that he will realise after he has no money. Ronit's answer was a clincher - he says one can stay without money, but how does one stay without breathing. And Pooja uski saansey hai. Good one. He leaves with Akash from there.
Kushan tells Mandy that she has to learn to live away from Pooja's shadow. She has to learn to take her own decisions. And Pooja will realise the importance of her only when she is away from her. Jahaan Pooji Paaji, wahaan nahi Mandy Paaji - says Kushan.
At the college, Pooja is not attentive in the class. Miss Resham notes this and tells her that she better be at the end of the year to score good marks. She tells Pooja that Ronit is leaving the college and hence Vishal will be her partner. Pooja is shocked to learn about Ronit and wonder whether it might be because of her. She calls at Ronit's place where Rosy informs her that Ronit has left his house. Pooja is almost in tears. She meets Akash where Akash tells her which he might be wanting to tell her for a long time. Well, it was about Ronit. He tells Pooja that Ronit loves her very much and he has left his house for the same reason. Infact, he was leaving the college only because she cannot see his face anymore. At the same time, Ronit is at Akash's place and conversation between Akash's mom and Ronit are shown. One frame about Ronit and Akash's mom and the other of Pooja and Akash. Good ones. Akash succeeds in explaining Pooja about Ronit and she realises that she was being too harsh. Ronit hugs Akash's mom and tells her that why is she not his mother. The best compliment a mother can ever get. Akash comes to his house. He moves a bit and Ronit sees Pooja. Wow! Pooja has gone to Akash's place to meet Ronit. The background score starts and Ronit and Pooja are left alone. Great shots. Seemed they will run and hug each other any moment. But well, that didn't happen as yet and the episode ends with Pooja just moving towards Ronit a bit.
Happy ending. Hope this goes on as we have thought about. Ronit-Pooja understand each other and love each other. Akash realises that Reema loves him and acknowledges that. Well, someone has rightly said - Do not marry the person whom you love, but marry with someone who loves you. What say? Your views please.
