I do 4 May 2022: while all lie dead in the mansion, tanveer sets it afire. Meanwhile, Dilshad finds an inspector who dishevelled tells her story to him. But he gets a call from his senior, and he refuses to help her citing that he has to go somewhere where a huge fire has broken in a house, and everyone inside is burnt, and gives the address of the house. As dilshad knows that its their house thats being talked about, she is shocked and distraught, as she stands with the two kids, while the police storms off in the jeep. She breaks down into crying, screaming incoherently, while clutching them tightly.
After 20 years, in the state of Punjab, Dilshad is shown to be dealing with Lakha singh, a vegetable vendor. When dilshad warns him about someone, he seems very scared. dilshad asks him to hurry up, as sanam has already reached the Dhaba, and wants them seperately. He also comments on how sanam is so particular about cleanliness and hygiene. dilshad says that she got it in heritance, as she goes into memories of asad always being picky about hygiene. Dilshad laments that 20 years without them, have been like ages, and has raised Nazma and his daughter, and never realised that she became a Grandmother and didnt even realise it, and that she remembers them too much with each passing second, and Sanam is just like him.

Sanam is revelaed to be a lookalike of Zoya, breaking into poetry, just like her mother:Sanam da dhaba jaise hain five star….Tera Pyar Pyar, Hukka Baar……In her overenthusiasm for poetry, she burns the food, like zoya, her mother but then salvages it too like Asad. the servant comes in saying that one of the customers isnt paying, but gorging on food. She herself is scared, and asks him to get the customer, fighting in the name of opening another chain of restaurants, Dilshad’s treatement, and haya’s operation.
the servant goes in asking for monay. The customer tries to threaten her, but she reprimands and insults him completely, and goes on a rant as to how he would have to pay, but doesnt allow him to speak. She leeps saying that she isnt scared of anyone, while he tries to speak something. Finally he tells her that her kitchen is on fire. she desperately tries to douse it and finally manages to, with the help of servants. He also gets to Sanam’s hands, that got burnt. After the dressing,t they resume work. While zoya continues with her opinion of falling in love after marriage, the servant taunts her, that it wont happen, and that love can happen any minute, without even the heart knowing about it. Zoya asks him to stop talking filmy.
Zoya says that they are traditional people, and girls from such families dont talk like that, and if dilshad has chosen someone for her, then he would be the right choice. She gets Dilshad’s call, saying that haya has gone to serve the kids, then who would deliver the food. Zoya gets tensed. she begins to prepaere food for packaging, w2hile still on phone with dilshad. Zoya says that chinese is in fashion, and she learnt it too, and starts talking about learning mexican food too.
