However, Shefali adds that the music industry will not help him at all. Just then Paarth notices Akshara, who was there to get the car keys for her ice cream date with Abhimanyu. He asks her to support him and tell others about music. He goes on to say that he is ready to work as a music therapist with Akshara at the charitable hospital. This makes Shefali furious who argues that a qualified doctor like him must not do all this. Akshara explains to Shefali that if Paarth wants to make his passion his profession then there is nothing wrong with it.

He tells them they are all adults and should talk like one. He then leaves from there.
Akshara follows him and tells him that Paarth needed their support. Abhimanyu gets angry and asks her why did she have to share her opinion with them when they are not concerned about her. Akshara tells him that Paarth was very emotional and asked her to talk about music and music therapy. Abhimanyu gets upset with her.
