His life takes a turn when he meets Richa Malhotra (posing as Roma Kapoor), a woman in a similar unhappy marriage. Their affair leads to them being blackmailed by Tony, a criminal who ultimately reveals himself as Richa's accomplice.

Vishal's attempts to pay off Tony drain his savings, including money meant for Nikki's surgery. 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.
