Meanwhile, Rajesh is caught by the police and is unable to see Neha's performance. During the holidays, he returns home and is pleasantly surprised to find that Neha has also re-located there. Later on, Neha's car breaks down and Rajesh offers her a lift, but soon his car also breaks down in the middle of a forest. It begins to rain, so they find shelter in an old house where they are attacked by goons. Rajesh overcomes the goons and Neha details the events to the police, but the police arrest Raju instead. He is later released after one of the goons confesses. Neha starts a plan and sends Rajesh a love letter asking him to accompany her to an isolated shack. She locks him in the shack, which almost kills him. After this incident, Neha accepts his friendship and confides to him that she can never sing again as her vocal cords have been damaged beyond repair. Rajesh accepts the challenge and sets about to resurrect Neha's voice and her career, not knowing that both of them are targets of Hari, who has planned a bad ending for Neha and anyone who supports her.
