Malharrao announces a grand celebration to welcome Khanderao.
Dhanaji and Gunoji are thinking about how and why Malharrao did not mention about the plan to them, does he suspect them. Dwarkabai comes there and asks what is worrying them, did they want Khanderao dead. They deny. Dwarkabai says that their sole aim is to keep Khanderao's future in darkness.
Khanderao comes back to his room and is fixing his Mridangam when Ahilya comes there. Ahilya asks why is he upset. He gives roundabout answer and Ahilya says if he's still upset about Malharrao.
Malharrao gives the responsibilities of celebration to everyone and sits with Gautama. They talk about how happy they are as Khanderao is back.
Khanderao tells Ahilya she will never understand his perspective, only Malharrao's opinion matters to her. She reminds him of their childhood talk. But he refuses to look beyond his prejudices about Malharrao. His bitterness is deep-rooted.
Gautama believes Ahilya will be able to make things better between them.
