After the party, the friends bought drinks from closed shops and drank in the open. Both of them wished they had each other's life. After getting up from sleep, both of them found that their soul had interchanged. The friends were surprised to find themselves in that situation. While both of them tried to be loyal, they found it difficult to live in each other's life. In the meantime, Raj (in Jeet's body) visited Chandannagar, his home town to meet his parents, which he left years ago to make a career in singing. Even Jeet (in Raj's body) came to visit his house to see his child. Inka came to stay with Raj (actually Jeet's soul) after she had a fight with her parents. The friends tried to manage each other's work. While Raj gave an interesting solution of using terracotta in bathroom instead of gold plates to the Indonesian clients. Jeet, on the other hand introduced Inka as a lead singer in their band, whose performance was well appreciated. The two friends decided to get back to each other's life; they repeated the same acts they did on the day they interchanged and were successful in getting back their souls in their own body.
