On Ismi's friend, Jesna's mehndi , Ismi says that she can't go due to a headache. They later learn that Jesna eloped with an unknown guy. When they come back, Sulu suspects that Ismi has an affair with Vivek, when she sees the name "Customer care" and "Vicks" on her phone. The next day, on Vivek's birthday, Kareem and Sulu go to Balu's house. In absence of Vivek both the couples have a fight which they half resolve and come to good terms with each other. In between all this Vivek sends 3 of his friends to Balu's place saying they eloped together. Kareem recognises one of the girls as Jesna but Balu sends them back. Kareem and Balu also drink. Vivek comes home and clears things with Sulu saying that he and Ismi studied together in Kerala and that they are best friends. Then,a drunk Kareem misbehaves with Balu and creates a mess at the house. Afterwards, Sulu and Kareem goes back to their house. When they return, they see Vivek and Ismi talking to each other. They call Balu. Then Vivek clears everything: the friends were planning to celebrate Vivek's birthday, Vivek and Ismi are just friends, Jesna eloped with Vivek and that Ismi is actually in love with Omar, a Saudi-African boy. Vivek says that Omar was the "Customer call" on Ismi's phone. Hearing this Sulu faints.

During Ismi's marriage, Sulu is sitting a little far to show her disapproval. Balu and Lakshmi walk up to her and Balu says that she doesn't have to fall in this trap of what people think because we all will die one day, that we should live our lives and move on. After the marrige function, Balu and Lakshmi goes back to their house where Balu cuts of the calling bell wire and goes happily to Lakshmi.
