BD comes home from office and finds Bobby dancing to bollywood numbers, decked in gold jewelry. Initially he too joins her, but then asks her as to where she got all these ornaments as they don't own them. He and Papaji warns her not to wear such expensive jewelry all the time as it might attract unwanted attention of miscreants and might get robbed. Just then, a robber barges in and demands the jewelry. Bobby gives away the jewelry without much regret to save her husband's life. When the robber's gone, she finally reveals the ornaments being fake - she had bought them from a nearby shop at cheap rates for Diwali, since BD cannot afford to buy her real ones due to his meager income.

An amused BD tells Shivay about women's general love for gold ornaments. Shivay tells him that people by nature, are attracted to the rich and affluent and are never satisfied with day to day's simplicity, to the extent that they even got their gods and goddesses decked up in gold. Bobby rushes in with a request to get her a new pair of gold bangles this Diwali. Initially BD brushes it off citing his inability, but later ponders over it.

Later in the day Bobby's sister Baby comes to meet them, decked up in gold ornaments. Govardhan follows her and claims the jewelry to be of pure gold. Bobby immediately recognizes the jewelry to be fake ones, the same which were taken away by the robber. Govardhan receives a good verbal lashing from his wife on learning the truth. He gifts the fake bangles to Bobby and she accepts them, lamenting that she had to sell all her jewelry to arrange money to buy the house but now her husband can't afford to get her real gold bangles. BD feels bad on hearing this. Bobby taunts him to learn something from Khanna Sahab' who keeps his wife decked in gold all the time. BD expresses his inability to get her ornaments due to his meager income.

Later that night, BD gets a nightmare of Khanna Sahab' gifting gold bangles to his wife. He freaks out and promises himself to get Bobby a pair of gold bangles before Khanna Sahab' manages to actually gift her. At office, even the accountant advises him to gift his wife ornaments before she starts ignoring him. On his way back home, BD goes to a local jewelry shop and gets a pair of gold bangles for Bobby for Rs.90000. He pays Rs.10000 in cash and promises to pay Rs.200 daily installment. The owner JamunaDas appoints his assistant Gopi to keep an eye on him and collect the installments daily.

When BD gifts the bangles to Bobby, she raises a hue and cry and accuses him of adopting dishonest means to fulfill her demands. BD feels bad and swears on her head that the bangles have been purchased by honest means, from the money he received from a long due insurance policy. Later Bobby invites the entire neighborhood and Baby to her house to see her new bangles. Everyone gushes over it and Baby showers BD with flowers when he returns home to celebrate the occasion.

An overjoyed BD updates Shivay about the day's incidents, telling Him how easy it is to win a woman's heart -just gift her a few gold ornaments and she will tag you as the super duper man' of her life in an instant. Shivay reminds him of the price he'll have to pay for earning this title; he'll have to pay his daily installments of Rs.200 to JamunaDas. BD brushes it off since it's a small sum and hardly matters, as per him.

Next day, BD dutifully pays his first installment. Next morning, Bobby demands money from him for the household expenses and takes away whatever money BD had with him. This makes him miss his next installment for that day and he had to escape facing JamunaDas. For the next 10days, the same thing repeats and now BD has to find newer means of escaping JamunaDas everyday. Finally after 10 days, JamunaDas decides to look into the matter himself and goes to BD's house to meet him. BD freaks out on seeing JamunaDas and in an attempt to save himself, wrapped Bobby's saree around himself and posed as BD's wife. He manages to send JamunaDas away without arousing his suspicion but as luck would have it, JamunaDas bumped into Bobby in the neighborhood. When Bobby introduced herself as BD's wife, he narrates the incidents inside the house to her and together they decide to face BD. BD lied to Bobby that he posed as Bobby to escape JamunaDas who considers him affluent enough to be a lucrative customer. Bobby accepts his explanations and chases JamunaDas away.

A worried BD sees Shivay dressed as his worst fear ie JamunaDas. BD tells Him that he feels like confessing the entire mess he had created over the bangles to Bobby but is afraid to break her heart and expectations. Later in the day, Baby comes to meet Bobby and places an order for similar bangles from the same jewelers for herself and pays Rs.90000 in cash. When BD comes to know of it, he gets happy that finally he'll be able to face JamunaDas ; once he gets a new order, he'll pressurize him less for the installments. BD goes to JamunaDas with the money to place a new order, JamunaDas accepts the 90000 bucks as payment for Bobby's bangles and returns the Rs.16200 BD has paid till date to him, saying he has stopping giving loans. BD is shocked.
