Gulaal also finds out that Kesar had planned the reunion. Her friends also tell Gulaal that he probably agreed to break the deeyarvatu because of his love for her. Gulaal’s friends want her to see reason and accept Kesar as her husband. Caught in an emotional turmoil, Gulaal begins to doubt Kesar and will confront him regarding his motives which will leave him hurt and angry with her. A StarPlus.in source informs, “Kesar is being very good to Gulaal and keeping her happy, so after her talk with her friends, she begins to wonder if he has an ulterior motive. She gets fed up of his goody-good behaviour and will accuse him of trying to woo her by being nice. She will claim he pretended to break the deeyarvatu, so that she would not be angry with him anymore. Kesar will be shocked and retort that he only wants her happiness and nothing in return. Meanwhile, Raman is in deep financial debt, so he plans to siphon money from Talli’s dowry. Talli, on the other hand, is pretending to be happy to get engaged to Kunal, who is in love with her.”

While Gulaal was happy in her world, the pointers from her friends bewildered her. She is perplexed and misunderstanding Kesar. Why can’t she believe that Kesar simply wants her happiness? Gulaal aka Mansi Parekh expresses her state of mind and says, “No, I can’t just accept that. I still have my doubts regarding his motives. I keep going back and wondering why is Kesar doing so much for me? I can see the effort he is putting into doing things for me. Why is he going out of his way for my happiness? I am not comfortable with his behaviour, which is making me doubt him. After the tough phase, now that we decided to be friends till the deeyarvatu ends, I feel he is trying to woo me as my guard is down. Perhaps he thinks, by the time the deeyarvatu ends, I would ask him to remain as my husband, due to his good behaviour. Maybe, he is planning that I will want to stay with him. I can’t trust him and I am confused, as I don’t think anyone would go to such lengths for a friend. My friends feel I am lucky to have Kesar in my life, who thinks about my happiness and does so much for me. They feel he loves me. I know he cares for me and I care for him too but not in a romantic way.”

An agitated Kesar aka Neil Bhatt says, “I am very hurt by her accusation but this is not the first time that Gulaal has accused me of having ulterior motives. I thought, now that things are settled between us, as we have made a truce, she would be happy but that’s not the case. I was surprised to hear her accuse me. I feel she is neither moving on in life nor letting me move on. I feel her back and forth attitude is messing up my mind. I feel whatever I do for her is never enough. Perhaps, she feels I don’t respect women as I went to a boarding school which isn’t true as I respect all women and especially her. I am disgusted that she would even think of me like that- her own Kesar!! I couldn’t control myself and shouted at her when she accused me.”

If he only wants to see her happy, what about his love for her? “Well, my love for Gulaal will never go away. But for now, I have just put my feeling for her aside. Don’t we do things for our friends? I am being her friend right now- Nothing more. I want her to stay happy as I want to erase all grief I gave her intentionally and unintentionally. My goal in life in these three months is to keep Gulaal happy. And even after the deeyarvatu ends, I will ensure and do everything in my capacity to see to her happiness,” he vows. Will Gulaal realise Kesar’s love for her? Will the feud between them end or will this accusation pull them further apart?
