A day before Roohi's Performance, At Akshara's Udaipur Residence:

After Akshara's meeting with the lawyers, the lawyer's words came back to haunt her. She didn't quite like what she heard. She wanted to challenge for the sole custody of Abhir but that doesn't seem very achieveable now. The discussion had her seething in anger for days but she calmed down. She knew she had to. She needed to calm down and think hard if she ever wanted to dream about having Abhir with her. The words of the advocates were messing with her mind.

"Dekhiye ma'am! Aap hi ke baaton ko main repeat karoon, Aapne har woh loop hole, jiski wajah se saalon pehle aapko custody deny ki gayi thi, aap band kar chuki hai. Na aap pe criminal charges hai, na aapke uper jo restraining orders issue hue the, woh renew hue, na aap financially unstable hai aur uper se you are married and can offer the child, love from both the parents. But 8 saal bahut lamba waqt hota hai. Ab woh bacha nahi raha. He is a teenager aur ab bahut sari aur factors bhi consider ki jayengi"

"Aap khud confident nahi lag rahi hai is cheez ko lekar ki aapka bacha wahan khush nahi hai. Uski khushi sirf aap ho aur woh judge ke saamne yeh baat kabul karega. Aap ki toh baat bhi nahi hoti. Aise mein toh sirf ek hi rasta bachta hai hamare paas. Humein phir us bache ki behaviour ko objectionable sabit karna padega, yeh dikhane keliye ki uski parwarish sahi se nahi hui, us ghar ka mahaul kharab hai aur bacha waha safe feel nahi karta hai. Humein yahan tak sabit karna hoga ki bache ki survival keliye, better future keliye, use ek better environment aur better parenting ki saqt zarurat hai. Use maa baap donon ki zarurat hai. You can promise a better future"

"Court ko lagna chahiye ki bache ko waha khatra hai ya uski mental health aur growth keliye woh mahaul theek nahi hain aur use displace karne ka option consideration mein lein. Agar nahi karpaye toh court aapki appeal ko seriously consider nahi karega. Kyunki teenagers ko especially, displace karne ki paksh mein court aksar nahi hota. Court manti hai ki teenagers ke already bahut issues hote hai, woh itni sudden change accept nahi kar payenge."

"Bottom line is unless and until something goes drastically wrong with him, the court will stick to it's earlier judgement. Judge bhi court ki purani judgement ko uphold ki favour mein hota hain aksar. Nobody likes to be proven wrong Mrs.Sharma. The odds are against you but kuch bhi impossible nahi hain"

"Aap kafi saalon se humse judi hai, aapke contracts sab humari hi Mumbai ki team handle karte hai. Jab aapne kaha ki aapne apna lawyer banne ka sapna beech mein chod diya because you lost your child's custody, humari team ne aapko approach kiya. But you never gave them the details. Aapne humesha yehi poocha ki aapko custody milne pe koyi problem toh nahi hogi given your status and reputation. Humein aapki credentials mein koi kami nazar nahi aayi. Lekin court mein ladayi do parties ke beech hoti hai. Comparision hota hai aur kyunki aap custody keliye file kar rahi hai, humein yeh prove karna padega ki opposition se aap behtar kaise hai. It's high time you trust us with the information. We promise confidentiality but we need all the details of your ex husband and child"

"Abhimanyu Birla!! Woh aapke ex husband hain?"

"Aapko hum pe trust karke batadena chahiye tha ki aapki ladayi Dr.Abhimanyu Birla se hai. Mumbai ki team ab tak unpe research kar chuki hoti. Phir woh itne jhoote ummeed nahi dete aapko, jhoote sapne nahi dikhate. But I am from Udaipur. Main bina research ke dawa karsakti hoon ki yeh bahut mushkil hoga. I don't want to disappoint you but it will be an uphill battle. Baki details dekh ke hi kuch kaha ja sakta hai. Can we have all the details? Please kuch mat chupayiye aap. It's a request."

"Lawyers se cheezein chupana bahut bura decision tha aapka. Aise history ke saath aap sole custody file karna chahti hai? Hum jaante hai ki aap bahut badi celebrity hai Mrs.Sharma but yeh nahi bhool sakte ki woh ek bahut reputed Heart Surgeon hain. Dekha jaye toh court shayad unki profession ko zyada noble manega. Unko ek irresponsible parent prove karna bahut mushkil hoga, unka good will bhi bahut zyada hain Udaipur mein. Unke favour mein kitne VIP witnesses ake khade hojayenge, you have no idea."
