Soon, Sid leaves town and Akash departs for Sydney. On the flight, he runs into Shalini, a one-time acquaintance from college who agrees to show him around Syndey while there. Meanwhile, Sameer waits for Pooja to dump her much-disciplined boyfriend, and eventually asks her out. Sid has lesser luck - Tara walks in on him telling his mother about his feelings, and doesn't wish to talk with him for believing a relationship between them is possible. In Sydney, Akash is having a change of heart by falling in love (for the first time ever) with Shalini. Shalini, however, is engaged and returns to India to marry her fiance Rohit. Akash is heartbroken and is asked to return home by his father. Encouraged by those around him and Shalini's uncle Mahesh, he goes to talk to Shalini on the eve of her wedding and proposes to her. Shalini is conflicted by loyalty to Rohit's parents, who raised her after her parents' death, but they ask her to listen to her heart and marry Akash instead.
