Lies of the heart 28 August 2020: Karan is practising his poetic, romantic lines, when his mother comes in concerned about diya. She asks him to go and meet once, but he isnt interested. She says that if he has decided then he should have the guts to stand by it, and that he should either return the ring, or else she shall go and do so.
He callously says that she is more concerned for them, rather than her son’s acting career. karan asks his mother to return their engagement ring, while taking off his own too, pointing that the one they gave was solid gold, and hence she should get it back. His mother is ashamed of his son’s callousness and indifference. he asks her not to waste his time, and let him learn the script and get lost. His mother notices the news on the channel, where karan too learns about the reporters take on it.

They are surprised. urmi says that they have already had a chat and they are beyond any consideration. karan says that their talking might change them. urmi says that the news has spread and hence its not nice for diya to step outside. karam says that they have together decided that they shall try and make her family understand, as she cant stay here forevere.
damini understands, and says that diya is her family’s responsibility, and not theirs, and commends karan for his efforts and encourages them. shaurya and urmi ask diya if she wants to go. diya complies. karan and damini smirk happily. Urmi asks shaurya too to go with them. urmi asks her to try once more, but if they dont comply, she should return back without anmy hesitation, extending full support.
