Scene: Ashu's home, Same Night.

As the sun sets and the final evening of Mandeep's visit arrives, preparations for the sponsored date are in full swing. Ashu finds himself both excited and nervous, his mind occupied with thoughts of the dress he'll be wearing and the evening that lies ahead.

Amidst the anticipation, Raj's expression turns serious as he contemplates the situation. He's been having a blast with his prank, but the reality of the date dawns on him—a date with his best male friend, dressed as a girl. He realizes he might not be able to continue with his ruse.

Raj: (to himself) How can I possibly go through with this? Dating my best friend as a girl?

As the evening unfolds, Raj's internal struggle intensifies. He watches as Ashu gets ready, looking beautiful and yet completely out of place in the dress.

Ashu: (nervously) Raj, what's wrong? You seem... distant.

Raj: (hesitating) Ashu, there's something I need to tell you.

Ashu: (concerned) What is it?

Raj: (taking a deep breath) This whole boyfriend prank... I can't continue with it. I can't date my best friend dressed as a girl.

Ashu's eyes widen in understanding, a mixture of relief and amusement washing over him.

Ashu: (grinning) You mean you're calling it off?

Raj: (nodding) Yeah. I've realized it's just not something I can do.

Ashu: (teasing) I must admit, I'm relieved. I can't imagine you trying to be my boyfriend.

Raj chuckles, grateful for Ashu's understanding.

Raj: (grinning) Thanks for being cool about it, Ashu.

Ashu: (smirking) Just promise me no more ridiculous pranks in the future.

As the night progresses, Raj's decision brings asense of relief to both him and Ashu. The sponsored date takes place asplanned, but this time, Raj joins as himself—an understanding and supportivefriend who's shared in Ashu's journey.
