While Arvind was leaving, the phone rang. Arvind saw Rupesh's call and received it.

Rupesh: How is Arjun?

Arvind: Arjun is fine. Once he gets well, I will drop him to your place.

Ghuman comes near Arvind.

Arvind saw Ghuman with the makeover that Maya made for her.

Arvind: You look like a witch. Wash your face and come.

Rupesh: Arvind, what are you talking about? My face is always clean. I have my bath regularly.

Arvind puts down the phone.

Ghuman went inside the washroom and looked at her face in the mirror. She screams.

Maya went to Arjun's room.

Maya: Good morning. How are you feeling?

Arjun: I'm feeling better. I am going home now. We will meet later.

Arjun goes to his place. Rupesh welcomed Arjun with open arms.

Rupesh: It seems their family is crazy. Thank God your marriage with Zoya didn't take place.

Zoya does all household chores and lies down. She gets a panic attack as again she recollects Arvind torturing her. She went out and saw the skeleton's pic and sweated profusely.

Zoya went to Aditya's room and said, "If you don't mind, can I sleep in your room? I will sleep down and won't bother you.

Aditya: As said earlier, I don't believe that you are afraid, but I don't have any problem if you sleep on the floor.

Zoya starts shivering with cold, lying on the floor. Aditya puts the blanket on Zoya's body and drinks a glass of wine in the living room. Suddenly, Zoya sees some villagers dancing with masks on their faces. As Zoya had been drugged heavily by Arvind, she gets palpitations and comes to the living room.

While Aditya enjoyed the dance of the neighborhood, he saw Zoya and asked, "For what did you come here?"

Zoya: I am getting afraid to be alone.

Aditya: Maya, getting afraid! Unbelievable!

Zoya: I am not Maya. I'm Zoya.

She sees Aditya dancing and recollects the incident when Arvind whipped her using his whip hand. Zoya screams. A neighbor named Rajveer came to Aditya and said, "I think she has gone mad."

Aditya: No, she is fine. She tends to drink.

Rajveer: Then she must be demon-possessed. Take her to the tantrik.

Aditya: Yes, that should be fine.

Aditya and Rajveer took her to the tantrik. The song plays.

O bhut raajaa hua re hua jaldise aaja

Hua re hua o bhut raajaa hua re hua jaldise aaja

O bhut raajaa hua re hua

O bhut raajaa hua re hua

O bhut raajaa hua re hua

Hua hua hua hua

Hua hua hua hua

Are koi bataae ke samaje mai na

Aayeke haye kya hai ye paheli

Are koi bataae ke samaje mai na

Aaye ke haye kya hai ye paheli

Fus ghayi muskil mai fus ghayi muskil mai

Bhoto ki mahefil mai mai ek ladki akeli

Aley aley aley aley

Are koi bataae ke samaje mai na

Aaye ke haye kya hai ye paheli

Fus ghayi muskil mai

Bhoto ki mahefil mai mai ek ladki akeli

The poojari ladies surround Zoya, thinking a soul has entered her body. Zoya feels uncomfortable but is unable to express it. They hypnotize her. Zoya dances. Aditya dances. Zoya escapes and pushes all men and women. However, they surround her.

Gar se mai nikali raste me bhatki

Aasamaa se giri khazur me ataki

Gar se mai nikali raste me bhatki

Aasamaa se giri khazur me ataki

Achchhaa khajur khaaegi

Tu khajur nahi meri maar khaaegi haiya

Aley aley aley aley

Yah sach hai jhuth nahi mai koi bhut nahi

Mai to hun naar naveli

Aare phas gai mushkil me bhuto ki mahafil me

Mai ek ladaki akeli

Koi bataae samajh me na aae ke haye

Ki kyaa hai paheli

Phas gai mushkil me bhuto ki mahafil me

Mai ek ladaki akeli

The men hold her hands, but Zoya escapes from them by wrapping them and dancing far. Aditya dances with Zoya and others. The men place skeletons and snakes; Zoya falls, seeing the snake, but she gets up and dances. She tries to convince Aditya and others that she is not a ghost.

Laato kaa bhut hai baato se nahi maanegaa haiya

Lagateho mujhako tum bhut saare

Lagateho mujhako tum bhut saare

Yam devataa ke ho dut saare

Yam devataa ke ho dut saare

Kyaa boli

Aley aley aley aley

Din me hi raat hui anahoni baat hui

Honi ye kyaa khel kheli

Phas gai mushkil me

Phas gai mushkil me bhuto ki mahafil me

Mai ek ladaki akeli

Aley aley aley aley

Koi bataae samajh me na aae ke haye

Ki kyaa hai paheli

Phas gai mushkil me bhuto ki mahafil me

Mai ek ladaki akeli

Zoya continues to convince everyone that she is a lady who has left her relatives and has come here. She isn't a ghost. She says that she is all alone and no one is there to cook for her so she can eat after bathing.

O bhut raajaa hua re hua jaldise aaja hua re hua

O bhut raajaa hua re hua jaldise aaja

Hua re hua hua

Baabaa mujhe maaf karo meraa insaaf karo

Baabaa mujhe maaf karo meraa insaaf karo

Jo bolo maanati hun sabako pahachaanati hun

Kismat mujhe maar gai tuimhi pai mai haar gai

Ham haa haa

Nikal gayaa bhut raajaa are choop

Ab band karo ye baind baajaa

Are band karo ye baind baajaa

Are band karo ye baind baajaa

Are choop.

Everyone tries to capture her, but Zoya puts them aside with her naagin dance. Aditya holds her so that she doesn't escape. They bring her near the pooja offerings. Zoya runs, but she gets surrounded. She surrenders and ties her hands. Aditya comes forward and untied her hands. Aditya takes her home.

Next Day

Zoya searched for Aditya in his room the next day but saw the stink. Zoya decides to clean his house. While sweeping the floor, she coughs. Suddenly, Zoya saw the kerosene bottle and the whiskey bottle. She took them and threw the whiskey outside the window. She then replaces it with kerosene.

Aditya comes home and unknowingly opens the bottle with kerosene. While he drinks, he gets a strange taste. Zoya comes there.

Aditya: Where are my drinks?

Zoya: I got a bad smell. So I threw it.

Aditya: My drinks give you a bad smell, right? Where did you throw it?

Zoya: I threw it in the gutter.

Aditya: What is there in this bottle, Maya?

Zoya: Kerosene.

Aditya gets miffed.

Zoya: Sorry, if I had known you would get so angry, I wouldn't have done that.

Aditya: Get out.

Zoya: If you want, you can scold or even beat me, but don't tell me to go.

Zoya then serves food to Aditya.

Aditya: From where did you get the food?

Zoya: I prepared it in my hands. How is the food?

Aditya: It's nice, but before you do something, please ask me.

Zoya: Okay.

Aditya ate the food and enjoyed it. He said, "Wow, I never had this kind of food anytime."

Arvind and Maya went to a banker to withdraw money.

The banker said, "Zoya, you are looking different."

Maya: Of course.

The banker said, "Sir, even you are looking different."

Maya: Well, it is a change of climate.

Arvind: Yes, she's right.

The banker said, "Please sign the withdrawal form."

Maya signs them.

Arvind took the bunch of notes and tossed them. Maya caught them.

Arvind and Maya reached home.

Maya counts the notes.

Arvind: Give the money to Ghuman. She will keep it in the safe.

Ghuman: Yes, Arvind is right. The world is evil. The thieves keep roaming.

Maya: I am seeing that.

While Maya flicks her notes, Ghuman tries to snatch them from Maya. She said, "Give it to me. I will keep it in the cupboard.

Maya: Even I can keep it in the cupboard. Where is the key?

Ghiman: It is with Arvind.

Arvind: What nonsense. I gave you the keys. It's with you.

Maya: Oh my God, I've got itching in my hands. If you don't give me the keys, my hands can punch you.

Arvind: Ghuman, give her the keys.

Ghuman: If we give her the keys, you know the consequences.

Maya: Have you considered the consequences of not giving the keys?

Arvind: We must give the keys. After all, what is kept in those keys?

Ghuman: Everything is there.

Arvind: Then give it off.

He gave the keys to Maya.

Ramu comes in.

Maya: Take the keys and money and put it in the safe.

Ramu does the needful.

Arvind and Ghuman are shocked. They went inside the room.

Ghuman: We need to do something. If we don't take immediate action, we will die alive.

Arvind: If you keep talking. I can't think properly. Yes, I have an idea. Why not conduct a picnic for the children, where we will drug them with food?

Ghuman: That's a beautiful idea. You are a genius.

Arvind: Shut up.

Maya overhears their conversation.

She says to herself, "So that's your plan? I will see that your plan backfires."

Maya mixes bhang in Arvind and Ghuman's food.

Arvind and Ghuman eat that food unknowingly and get intoxicated.

The song plays.

huhuhuhuhuhu...

Socha tha kya, kya ho gaya

Dhundho mujhe main kahi

Kho gaya

Main bhi kahi, kho gayi

Chhutti ho gayi

Chhutti ho gayi

Arvind and Ghuman go under the table. Pramad dances. Maya slaps him. Arvind, Ghuman, and Pramad dance near the river. Ramu smiles. Maya smirks.

Arvind, Ghuman, and Pramad still dance in an inebriated state while Maya has her ice cream.

Arvind goes to Maya in an intoxicated state. Maya pushed him and made him run. Arvind tries to sit on the chair, but Maya pulls the chair, ensuring he falls.

Daalo main chala

Ho gadbad ho gayi

Arererere mujhko sambhalo main chala

Maya gives them cold water, and all three pour water on each other's heads.

Arvind hugs the tree. Later on, Ghuman, Pramad, and Arvind go around the tree. Maya makes them dance and dances with them. Arvind plays guitar, while Pramad plays drums. Maya and Ghuman dance.

Arvind, Ghuman, and Pramad go where there are eggs. Maya takes their money and leaves.

The next day, Arjun talks over the phone

Maya: I love you, Arjun, and want to marry you.

Arjun: I understand. I love you without limit, but my dad disagrees.

Maya: Then why don't we elope?

She cries.

Arjun: Elopement is not a solution. Please stop crying. I will again talk to my dad. If he agrees, exemplary, or we will elope.

Maya: Can we meet?

Arjun: Fine, we will meet.

Arjun and Maya disconnected the call.

Rupesh overhears the telephone conversation.

Rupesh: To whom are you talking about elopement?

Arjun: With Maya.

Rupesh: You are my only son, and I want you to be happy. But I never knew that you love Maya so profoundly. If you wish, I will get you married to Maya.

Arjun: Really? You are the best!

Rupesh: I will call Maya.

While he dials Maya's number, the phone turns out dead.

Rupesh: What's happened to the phone?

Arjun: You know there is always a connectivity problem.

Rupesh: Then how did you talk?

Arjun: I was rehearsing. Since you said yes, please don't refuse.

Arjun gets into the car to reach Maya.
