Ishaan makes an announcement to the pupils. Nishikanth approaches him and signs to check the time. Ishaan tells pupils that it is already late and he just wanted to wish them well with their examinations. After he finishes his announcement, Nishi reminds him that it is now 11 a.m. and everyone is waiting for him at the board meeting. Ishaan runs to the boardroom and apologises to Yashwant for being late. Yashwant insults him, saying he has a lot of duties and is recently married. Board members believe they understand Ishaan’s plight because they are also married.
Yashwant asks board members if they are aware of today’s meeting agenda. Sharmaji, a board member, claims that an anonymous letter was posted in their campus magazine and that they would have been humiliated if it had been published elsewhere. Nishi reads the letter, which states that Bhosale Institute’s few deserving students receive scholarships each year to meet their basic needs, but this year the college’s funds are being misused, with institute director Ishaan’s wife Savi receiving a scholarship despite living in a lavish house and leading a lavish lifestyle.
Yaswant is enraged and claims that the allegation against them is false. Ishaan thinks Savi is a deserving student who earned a scholarship through her hard work. Yashwant asks Sharmaji what he wants to say. Sharmaji claims that because this letter was published in their campus magazine, they should refer to the rule book once. Yashwant urges Ishaan to read the rules aloud. Ishaan says that if a student becomes financially independent or marries, his or her scholarship will be cancelled.
Yashwant recalls planning with Nishi to terminate Savi’s scholarship. Sharmaji warns that if they do not obey the guidelines, they will no longer receive education board grants. According to Yashwant, the rules prevent them from revoking a meritorious candidate’s scholarship. Ishaan believes it’s a serious matter, and they must follow the regulations.
Savi takes note of Harini’s medical expenditures and believes she needs to repay around 6 lakhs to Ishaan; it’s a good thing she has a scholarship or she would have been in more financial trouble. Ishaan informs board members that they will abolish the rules themselves because they cannot revoke a deserving candidate’s scholarship simply because she is married.
Yashwant states that in order to amend any rules, they must hold a general body meeting, which cannot take place this semester. Another board member, Srikanth, believes Ishaan can cover Savi’s tuition and possibly establish a scholarship in her name. Ishaan says it’s a significant matter that they’ll handle carefully because a hardworking student’s scholarship is in danger.
Nishi advises us not to dramatise this situation. Yashwant advises Ishaan to make a well-thought-out decision because he is both Savi’s husband and a member of the board of directors, and making the wrong option will have a negative impact on the college. Srikanth says Ishaan must make a decision today.
Ishaan returns home, finds Savi’s calculations, and inquires about them. Savi says she is calculating the expenses and the money he owes him, and that it is a good thing she won a scholarship because otherwise she would have put more financial pressure on him; she will repay his loan soon and does not want to be a burden on him or his family.
Ishaan says he wants to tell her the news before she hears it from someone else. He explains the scholarship rules and announces that the college board has cancelled her scholarship and will cancel all of her privileges. Savi is astonished to hear this and wonders how the board can cancel her scholarship and why he allowed it.
Ishaan claims he did his utmost to explain to the board, but they did not listen. Savi says she worked hard to earn this scholarship. Ishaan claims that, whether she believes it or not, her financial situation has altered since marrying him. Savi claims that if the scholarship is cancelled, all of her goals would be dashed; she hoped to repay his money by finishing her education with his scholarship and finding work; he can’t just cancel it. Ishaan claims he informed her that it was the board’s decision, not his. Savi leaves her house to interrogate the board members.
Yashwant gives Surekha sweets and informs her that he has removed Savi’s scholarship. Surekha is pleased to hear that. Yashwant says Ishaan has gone to tell Savi about the news, and Savi will be shocked, among other things. Surekha feels this was the best method to teach her a lesson; she’ll see what Savi does next. Savi walks on the road, attempting to board a car. Ishaan interrupts her and asks if she will tell the board of directors that she is not married to him and how she will prove it.
Savi claims she committed to staying at his place to help him as he helped Harini, and that once Harini recovers, she will leave; he should have notified Yashwant and not cancelled her scholarship. Ishaan stands stunned. Savi insists that she will recover her scholarship at any cost.
