Anupama signs divorce papers and asks Vanraj to sign them. He signs them hesitantly. Counsellor says they have 6 months to think and hopes they change their decision. Anu thinks she will not change her decision and its better if Vanraj also doesn’t change his decision. She greets counsellor and walks out of office, then says thank you to Vanraj and tries to leave. He stops her and says last year his friend got a divorce and he was telling that he was feeling weird, he told its not a big deal, but today he realized it a very big deal; thinking and telling about separating is fine, but when the find out that their decades old relationship will end with just a signature, hands won’t raise at all; now signatures are done and when relationship is ending, he wants to say sorry for giving her pain from connecting with Kavya to trying to prove her mentally unstable; he asks if she will forgive him. She asks him to give her mukti/salvation and think she forgave him.
He says Bapuji was right that he won’t he happy in life by hurting her heart; until she was with him, he had everything, a happy family, name, job, peace, etc., and once she is out of his life, everything left him; when she used to pray for him, he used to grow; when she used to apply kajal on his sole, he used to smile; when she used to cook.. She says she was there since the beginning, but he was not present and was with Kavya even while being with her and when he is with Kavya, he shouldn’t talk about being with her as those finished; if he said sorry to her so that she doesn’t curse him, he shouldn’t worry as she prays god that he and Kavya be happy forever; she had love for him earlier and then anger. He says and now… She says now nothing; life doesn’t give a second chance, but they got one; he should live for Kavya and she will for liv for herself, he shouldn’t lose this chance.
She smiles at him and walks away. Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koi Shikwa to Nahi…song plays in the background. He sits at a bench and reminisces her helping him in every chores and showering her love for him, but he ignoring her repeatedly. Anu reminisces their happier moments, then his rude behavior, his betrayal, etc. They both look at divorce notice and shed tears. She thinks everything will be fine. He thinks when will everything be fine, if it will or not.

She happily hugs him and says they will marry and live happily after that. He says for that she has to take divorce first. She says she is trying. He says it looks like she is more worried about his divorce and why should he bear the trauma alone. She asks if he feeling bad taking divorce from Anu, what is he trying to say. He says he is just tired. She asks him to calm down and says let us celebrate with champagne.
