Kartik sees Ranvir’s phone and thinks Aradhana can use Sirat’s audio recording against him. He drops water on the phone and the phone gets switched off.
Aradhana starts questioning Kartik. She asks how Kartik knows Sirat and Ranvir. Kartik says he knows Sirat through his son, as he misunderstood that Sirat is his mother. Kartik says his wife looks the same as Sirat, so they had misunderstood. Aradhana asks Kartik if he fell in love with Sirat as her face looks like his wife’s. Kartik says no. He says Sirat is just a friend.

Kartik says Sirat did not poison Ranvir, He says that Ranvir died by lead poisoning and it’s not Sirat, it can be someone else too, maybe for Ranvir’s family.
