behavior he has seen. Scared, Meenal seeks help from Director (Reema Lagoo) of a school for intellectually disabled kids. Rana and Meenal convince Durga Mavshi that the school is the best option for Nandu and he will be able to show improvements with support from the school. It takes Nandu a while to settle in his new environment but he is able to make friends and learn new skills. During a talent show, Nandu performs a song on stage. He notices Meenal in the audience but gets spooked when Meenal has to leave in the middle of his performance. Nandu runs away from the school. On hearing this news, Durva Mavshi goes into shock and passes away soon after. Police find Nandu near a brothel and bring him back to the Chawl. Nandu is unable to perform last rites for his mother as he does not understand that she is dead. He runs to the only other person he finds comfortable - Meenal. Meenal is shocked to hear about Durva Mavshi's death, but Rajan doesn't want to see Nandu in his house and he kicks Nandu out. Rajan's lack of empathy saddens Meenal even further. Understanding his mistake, Rajan follows Nandu to the Chawl, to find him curled up in bed, helpless, crying his eyes out. In the aftermath, Rajan and Meenal adopt Nandu. Nandu, with support from the school, becomes an internationally renowned artist.
