Nandini stops to look at some stars on display in a storefront, and turns just as Manik spots her through the crowd. world goes silent as the two stare at each other… until Nandini breaks the moment by greeting.

Manik tries to find his way out of the crowd, but when he looks over at Nandini, she’s gone. The background song (“Without Words”) echoes his sentiments as he asks, “She went without a word? She just  greets  and leaves?”

He returns to the agency, feeling dissatisfied. When he encounterspresident of A.N.JELL with Mukti, he asks to see Nande, who is supposedly out with Abhi.

He’s not actually with Abhi, however, as the latter runs into Nandini in the street and the two stop to chat. Nandini hears that her brother is currently making an appearance in Dubai , and asks if it would be possible to meet him before she leaves. She’s headed to Africa to join a nun acquaintance in charity work. It turns out she’s leaving on the day of Nande’s first concert.

Tentatively, Abhi asks if she’s going to leave without seeing the others. Nandini answers that she’s always watching them from afar, and has been keeping up with all their news. Abhi asks if something happened between her and Manik, because Manik never asks about her, nor does he talk to Nande.

Other side-

Prompted by Manik’s questioning, president of A.N.JELL wonders where Nande is; he was supposed to have returned from an event with Manik. Nervously, Mukti calls Abhi to tip him off, and warns that president of A.N.JELL can’t find out that Abhi sent him to Dubai without his knowledge.

A colleague mentions seeing Nande in Dubai, so president of A.N.JELL looks at Mukti suspiciously. They’re not doing stuff behind his back, are they? He wants to see Nande in 30 minutes.

In a panic, Abhi wonders how to handle this, then looks to Nandini with pleading eyes. In a familiar gesture, he gets on his knees to beg her (as he did in part 1) to become Nande for one last time. Just for a short while, to prove to president of A.N.JELL that he’s still in Mumbai.

Nandini vehemently says no — she’ll be discovered right away. In desperation, Abhi reveals the reason he needed to send Nande to Dubai in the first place. He’s about to become a father, and Nande is helping him save up extra cash by doing side gigs in order to prepare the baby’s essentials. The mother… is Mukti ! Things happened on the trip to Goa , and now she’s pregnant…

HAHAHA. Nandini is no match for such a pathetic story, so she reluctantly agrees.

.
.

Still mulling over their encounter in the street, Manik tries to understand why Nandini disappeared:

Manik: “She may have not seen me. No, she greets , so there’s no way she didn’t see me. She saw me and just ignored me. Pig-Rabbit, why on earth did you do that?”

This segues into another fantasy sequence. In the first scenario, Nandini is dressed in her habit and decides to become a nun. So did she disappear because she has decided to take her vows? But no, she definitely gave that up, and it’s not a path someone could return to easily.

Then, did she decide to become a pharmacist’s wife? No, he recalls that Areaman is still in the army and was going to seek her out after he had been discharged.

Then did she decided to join the fan ranks instead, content to be a spectator cheering him on and writing him fan letters? But no, he mutters, “If she’s a fan, she should have at least come to me to ask for my autograph. Is she no longer a fan at all? Have I been dumped entirely?”
