Neeraj then observes that she might still have feelings for her ex, yet reassures her that he will shower her with love. Sanjay steps in, insisting that Neeraj is the right match for Charu and that she won't find a better partner. Highlighting his agreement with Sajjan as critical to their family's stability, Sanjay urges Charu to consider the family's needs. Charu and Kajal are left speechless.
