She goes to Jwalaprasad for help and finds his wife at home, who gives her money, but on a condition. Manju should accept unmarried Lata's illicit child as her own and should never disclose the truth to anyone. Helpless, Manju agrees.

Rajesh saves them, but Lata dies of an injury when she tries to stop Rajesh. Shocked, Mrs. Jwalaprasad regains her voice and tells all about her atrocities on Manju, to everyone. Rajesh and Manju are united again.
