Meanwhile Tulsi questions the groom about his demand why he refuses to marry without dowry. The groom says he himself is against dowry but since his parents are demanding it he considers it a ritual and claims it happens in every marriage.
Aarti’s father says he has done everything he could but if they still want dowry he is ready to give it. Tulsi stops him and firmly declares that he will not give dowry because he is giving them his daughter what more do they want? Tulsi blasts the groom’s parents saying they didn’t come to get their son married they came to sell him. She refuses to let them hide behind rituals because no such ritual exists.
Tulsi looks at Aarti and asks why she is crying over people who are blackmailing her parents at the wedding mandap? She reminds Aarti that God always does what’s right and she is lucky she came to know their real face before the wedding. For these people money is more important than their daughter-in-law.
The groom accuses Tulsi of turning Aarti against him. Tulsi replies that she is not just supporting Aarti but every girl and no woman should feel small or helpless. She reminds everyone that Aarti is talented she is a company shareholder and she can build a great future without such people.
The groom shouts but Tulsi warns him to lower his voice and be thankful she hasn’t called the police otherwise he and his entire family would be in jail. Tulsi asks Aarti to break this alliance. With teary eyes Aarti wipes her tears removes her engagement ring hands it back to the groom and tells him to sell it if he needs money so badly. She ends the marriage.
