Surekha, observing the play, becomes increasingly uncomfortable with Savi’s portrayal of their family story. Reeva, playing Surekha’s character, vehemently refuses to let Shiva go with Savi, citing concerns about depriving him of a proper upbringing in a small village. Savi argues that she can provide the best education as a mother and promises Shiva the love of both his parents and grandparents.
Intrigued, Isha questions Shantanu about how Savi knew such intimate details about her life. Shantanu reveals that Savi wanted to pay tribute to Isha, but the extent of the play surprises him. As the play unfolds, memories resurface for Ishan and Isha, recalling similar moments from their own childhood.
The next sequence unfolds with Savi trying to put Shiva to sleep, sharing a jungle story with a hidden secret. Kaaki, portrayed by Reeva, enters, criticizing working women and informing Savi of a call from her mother. The devastating news of her brother’s accident reaches Savi, and her parents are in need of support.
Savi decides to move to her parents’ house to care for them, leading to a confrontation with Kaaki, who opposes taking Shiva away. Savi insists that Shiva needs his family’s support and promises love from both parents and grandparents.
Surekha, realizing the uncanny resemblance of the play to her life, decides to intervene. Yashwant urges her to avoid creating a scene. Backstage, Savi pleads with Surekha to let Ishan go with her, triggering Ishan’s recollection of childhood incidents. The tension escalates as Surekha determines to halt Savi’s portrayal of their family’s private struggles.
