Kavya pleads that the load was too great for her to carry. To which, Vanraj remarks that was the penance she should have borne. Samar asks Vanraj if he has accepted Kavya’s child. Leela answers a no without hesitation. He reasons that they should either have been informed then or not said anything now. Dimpy gets a chance to taunt Leela. She asks Leela to look at her granddaughter and daughter-in-law having an affair outside of marriage. Leela orders Dimpy to be silent.
Kavya admits her mistake and Leela calls it a sin. She orders Kavya to leave, but Anupama defends her. She points out that Kavya is still the bahu of the house and cannot be thrown out like this. When Leela insists, Anupama questions why her son’s mistake could be forgiven but not Kavya’s. She tells Leela that her son’s crime is no less than Kavya’s and yet he was not asked to leave the house. Anupama asks the family not to blame Kavya and accept the baby. She says that if anything happens to the baby, then they can’t forgive themselves ever. The Shah family is left speechless by Anupama’s stirring question.
