Mukul is helpless to save Gayatri from depression. Meanwhile, Rahul gets angry when his mother pressurizes him for marriage. Mukul requests Rahul’s mother not to force Rahul. While trying to reach out to Gayatri, Mukul once again faces homophobic treatment. When he becomes able to visit her home, it is too late.
