Several people hear the shouting, including Tara and Jagmo. Mansi comes back out to the lounge looking miserable. She tells Tara that she wants to leave. He says that they will as soon as they get to the bottom of this. OHA comes out and begins talking condescendingly towards them. She notes that Mansi is all dressed up, and accuses Tara of bringing her here to tempt the "prince of the castle" away. She calls Tara a pimp and demands that they leave at once. Tara says he will not go until he has met with Jagmo. OHA tells him that Jagmo is lunching with the English, and asks if Tara will go in and wag his tail like a dog at them. Tara comes back with a good burn:

"Let Jagmohan come. I'll tell him, those dogs he has tied outside... He should tie this English bitch along with them."

OHA is outraged at this. She calls out for the guards to put them out of the house. At this point Jagmo and Deep come out of the lunch to see what all the shouting is about. Before Tara can explain, OHA steps in and tells Jagmo that Tara has called her a bitch. Jagmo is confused. He asks why Tara has come by unannounced and is insulting his family. Tara basically tells him that he was just calling it like he saw it. Jagmo tries to settle the situation. He asks Tara to go home now to calm down. They will meet tomorrow at Jagmo's office and talk things out then.

Tara is offended that Jagmo wouldn't even offer them a glass of water or a comfortable seat after all they have been through. He accepted them into his house as important guests. He remarks about how different things seem now, since they had previously said that artists were a form of God. As he is saying this, we see Manav pull up in his car and head into the house. Deep offers his unsolicited opinion. He explains that they call anyone in a band an artist, and that artists will do anything for money. Tara listens to all this with an amazed look on his face. He agrees - he would like some compensation. Jagmo asks him how much money he wants. Tara moves in close to Jagmo, then slaps him in the face.

Everyone jumps up and grabs Tara to hold him back. Manav comes into the room at this point and expresses his concern about what he has seen. He demands that Tara leave at once. Mansi comes over to him and asks if he would beat her father. Manav tells her that he did not show respect to Jagmo. Mansi asks if Jagmo has honor, and Tara does not. She tells them they are all alike, just rich statues. Manav tells her if she wants to leave, she can. He cannot allow anyone to insult his family. She tells him that she understands. She yanks off the necklace he gave to her, causing the stones to fly all over the place. She then takes Tara's arm and they both walk out.

They walk the streets for a while wondering what to do now. Mansi sees some open stadium seats and suggests they go sit down to think things through. As they are resting, they see a large group of dancers practicing in front of a large stage. A very animated man in a red coat is up on stage singing a funky remixed version of Tara's song, "Dil Ye Bechain." Tara looks very confused about this while we watch them rehearse.
