Their affair leads to them being blackmailed by Tony, a criminal who ultimately reveals himself as Richa's accomplice.

When he learns Richa and Tony are con artists, he tracks them down, leading to a confrontation where both Richa and Tony are killed in a gunfight. Vishal retrieves his stolen money from the hotel safe and returns to his family. Nikki's surgery is successful, and Vishal reconciles with his wife, Anjali, promising a fresh start.
