Naina and Rudhra both go to Bundela's house. Jaichand Bundela (JB) was happy to see his daughter return. He hugged her and thanked Rudhra for finding her. When he carefully looked at his daughter he found vermilion on her forehead and a nuptial necklace in her neck. He was shocked.

JB: Naina! What is all this? What is that vermilion and the magalsutra doing on your forehead and neck?

Naina: It's enhancing my beauty as a wife.

JB: Wife? Whose wife?

Naina: Daddy, I love him and I married him. Meet my husband Rudhra Yadav.

JB: Rudhra? You? Naina, stop joking.

Naina: No dad, I am telling the truth. I am now Naina Rudhra Yadav.

JB: Rudhra you traitor. You cheated my daughter into marrying you. But I don't agree to this marriage!

Naina: Be careful dad before you speak ill about my husband. You don't have a choice dad. I knew you wouldn't agree for the marriage, hence I ran away from everything. I stayed alone all these days. When he finally found me, I threatened him to kill myself if he didn't agree to marry me. I married him finally.

JB: You threatened him. Do you realise he is just my servant. You've known him only from 6 months.

Naina: I've come here on his insistence just to take your blessing. He was the one who was concerned about you and told me that you've been searching for me like mad. Looks like you don't want to give us your blessing as well. I am leaving in that case.

JB: What? No! You can't leave me. I am your dad. Are you going to leave me for his few days love?

Naina: Dad, he is my husband! Just get that into your mind. I can even leave my life for him.

JB: Naina! Don't go please. I don't have anyone besides you. I accept your marriage and accept him as well. Please. I can fall in his feet as well to make you stay.

Rudhra: Sir, why would you fall onto my foot? We came here for your blessing. Naina, don't be so adamant. Come on!

Naina agrees and they stay back with JB. However, JB had a plan to pull out and throw the thorn named Rudhra off his daughter's life.

Akhilesh: Congratulations JB on your daughter's wedding

JB: Why are you sprinkling salt on my wound Akhilesh? If we hadn't broken our friendship, we would have been in-laws of each other's kids.

Akhilesh: I still hope to be. It's just that it needs your approval though.

JB: Is it possible?

Akhilesh: Nothing is impossible. Guess what! Your son in law is my daughter in law's brother. How if we make them rivals? Let them fight and destroy each other and after that we shall get Sidharth and Naina married.

JB: Great Idea! I will pull Rudhra in my political party. Once they are finished. Will collate and form our government and rule this state.

Akhilesh: There you are speaking. Deal!!

JB: Deal! Cheers!!

Akhilesh: Shehnaaz beta, our Chartered accountant isn't well and has been admitted into hospital. Next week the auditors are going to come. We need to cross check our accounts to avoid any discrepancy. You worked as an analyst right? So I can only trust you for this work.

Shehnaaz thinks:
Oh so this is the how you plan to keep me away from Sidharth for entire week? Very well, anyhow I needed to look at the cash flows and accounts for clues.

Shehnaaz: Sure Babuji! I will get it done.

Akhilesh: God bless you my child!

Akhilesh smirks as he goes home.
