Then the pair approach Dibakar and tell him that Shuvo is in love with Maria and that he proposed to her. They assume that this would enrage him, but the result is negative as Dibakar accepts the proposal heartily. However, Maria was already engaged to Rohit by her father sometime in the past. After some days Shuvo saves Maria from some goons and after doing so advises her not to play with people's feelings in future. Maria finds herself falling in love with Shuvo and informs Shuvo's father, Dibakar Burman.
