Recap:

Kartik was happy seeing the smile on her face, her happiness is all that mattered to him. He was confident that she would not only win this fashion show but her company too.

While Mugdha and the team were working hard on the project, Rohit's father was a cunning man, he was not happy knowing that Mugdha was not only getting financial aid but also about the resources support from the orphanage. He knew he couldn't approach Mugdha directly so decided to call up Mr Lahiri to influence him...


He called up Mr Lahiri to inform him how Mugdha was taking support from some orphanage and how this would show would be a disaster. Needless to mention that these girls from the orphanage are not trained professionals and, how this show going to be a big failure. He further emphasised that Mr Lahiri was kind-hearted he allowed Mugdha to even participate in this show but was this opportunity worth it. He was about to add more when Mr Lahiri interrupted and said, I appreciate you giving me a call to update me. However, Mugdha taking support from some orphanage doesn't bother me because I have complete confidence in her, and I am very well aware of her leadership skills. To emphasise his point, he said Mughda is one of the talented, hardworking professionals he knows and was confident that his fashion show would be a success.

Before disconnecting the call, Mr Lahiri said, " Let the competition decide who is best".Rohit's father was very disappointed with Mr Lahiri's confidence in Mughda. He thought I need to take a different approach to stop Mugdha from participating in this event. So the next call he made was to the orphanage owner Ms Pooja and offered them a huge donation with a condition, that she should stop the girls from supporting Mugdha for the fashion show. It didn't take much time for Pooja to figure out that he was Rohit's dad and his objective to support the orphanage.

Pooja smiled and said, "We are thankful that you thought to contribute to the orphanage, but you know we don't accept any donations from people like you. We know very well what you and your son did to Mugdha. She is like a daughter to me, and let me tell you the girls are very interested in supporting her. So we'll meet you at the fashion show. We are confident she'll not even win the fashion show but would get back her company as well. And yes, your calling up to withdraw our support indicates how desperate you are for this win.

Rohit's father said, Madam, you think your untrained, unskilled girls can compete with our trained and skilled professionals. You are living in a fool's paradise. You have absolutely no idea of our competency. I was trying to save Mugdha from embarrassment, but guess what it would be fun to watch all this. And let me add here that Mugdha in crutches can manage to get some sympathy, but she is not going to win the fashion show.

He was disappointed by both the calls did nor, Mr Lahiri nor the orphanage owner was ready to support him. He was deeply engrossed in his thoughts when Rohit came to talk to him. He asked why he seemed so stressed, he told him about both the conversations. Now listening to that Rohit got tensed, but his father said, Rohit, you don't worry, so what if these two idiots refused I'll not allow this girl to win again. I'll not let her win this competition, even if I have to hurt her again.

Rohit starred at his father and asked, "Again, what do you mean by it, Dad? Were you involved in the accident that happened with Mugdha?

He looked and Rohit and said, "Son, you think it was a mere accident. It was all my planning behind it. You wanted to marry that middle-class girl who was far below our standard. You are my only son I couldn't sit back and watch you destroy your life with that girl. I tried explaining to you many times, but seeing your reluctance I had to take a different approach. How could I have accepted that girl as my daughter- in law. I had to go through a lot to plan this accident so meticulously, Anyways see how good this turned out. You were able to see, that you didn't deserve this girl, look how she wants to snatch everything from you, which is rightfully yours.

 Rohit was listening to his father very carefully unfortunately he was happy that his dad saved him from marrying Mugdha. He hugged his father and said, "Thank you, Dad, You are the best. I was such a fool to be in love with Mugdha. She thinks this company has achieved success due to her, it's all my efforts dad. I can't believe she is ready to fight with me to get back the company.


 But Dad, what if someone comes to know you were behind the accident. He replied, "Don't worry son it's all taken care of.No one knows our secret.

They thought they were alone in the room, but there was one more person in the room who had heard their conversation.

Finally, the D day had arrived for the fashion show. The stage was all set for the competition. Rohit along with his father, staff, the models had reached the venue. Rohit seemed pretty confident about winning the show. He met Mr Lahiri and told him how he was ready to win the show. While Rohit was discussing with Mr Lahiri, Mugdha entered along with Kartik, Rakesh, Pooja and the girls. She was still using crutches, but there was confidence on her face today. Mr Lahiri was happy to see Mugdha, but he was confused as he couldn't see any models with Mugdha. He said, Mugdha, I am happy, to see you and your team here, but I am confused as I don't see any models in your team.

Mugdha smiled and replied, Mr Lahiri, Don't worry, you'll not be disappointed with our show. Based on the theme shared by you, we have identified the models accordingly. He was happy with the answer and said, Great, let the show begin. Rohit was listening to the conversation and even before Mr Lahiri could say something he interrupted and said," Mr Lahiri, if you don't mind, can we begin the fashion show our team is ready, just waiting for your approval to begin the show.

Mr Lahri smiled and said, "I like your confidence young man. Sure, if you are ready, you can go ahead. I Hope, Mugdha is fine with it. Mugdha smiled and said, Sure, Mr Lahiri, he can start the show. All the best Rohit. Rohit looked at Mugdha and said, Same to you Ms Mugdha. You know you'll need it more since I am going to win this show. Kartik was furious listening to this, he was about to reply to Rohit, but Mugdha held his wrist and even though Mugdha didn't say anything but Kartik understood.

The show started. Rohit's team had done a fabulous job of putting the great show together. The dresses designed were fabulous and the models did a great ramp walk. Mr Lahiri along with some other judges was quite impressed with the show. Rohit and his father were proud of the show put up by the team and were confident that they are going to win the show.

Mugdha, Kartik, Rakesh and the team were watching the show put by Rohit's team, Yes they did amazing work. Kartik knew very well what thoughts were going in Mugdha's mind, he said, 'Hey, You know you are best. Right. Let's put our best show and let them also know!!

And now it was Mugdha's team to begin the show.

As soon as the show started, the audience, along with the judges and Mr Lahiri was shocked to see the models on the ramp. They were not the regular models that usually participate in the show, instead, they were the normal girls who carried themselves with so much confidence that everyone was shocked. Mr Lahiri couldn't believe they were the same girls who were part of Mugdha's team. The dresses worn by them were so different and unique in their way. The work done by them had justified the theme. Mr Lahiri had given a difficult theme to Mugdha but never thought the concept could have been presented in such a beautiful manner. The kind of creativity that she had represented had confirmed why Mugdha was best.

Mugdha had done an incredible job, the whole concept created was unique, yet appealing to the audience. Mr Lahiri was impressed by the work, but there was a small problem. Though Mr Lahiri was impressed with the work, however, the remaining judges were not quite impressed with the work. The models didn't impress them and they were furious as to how she can use normal regular girls for this kind of fashion show. They were so engrossed in looking at models, that they ignored the beautiful dresses worn by them.


Mugdha got tensed seeing the facial expressions of the judges, though Mr Lahri seemed happy the remaining judges didn't seem happy with the show. Finally, the show ended. Now everyone was waiting for the result. The girls were excited since they got an opportunity not only to help to design the clothes but some of them did a ramp show too. Mugdha had shown a lot of confidence in them and the girls too did their best. But seeing the judges expression, they got tensed. What if, because of them, Mugdha lost the fashion show.

Mr Lahiri reached the stage and said, "Rohit and Mugdha what a wonderful fashion show you both have put together. I must say I am impressed by the efforts. I know everyone is waiting for the result, but you need to allow us some time before we share the results.

So please stay put, in another half an hour we would be sharing the Result. I request the judges to please accompany me to the meeting room to decide the Result.

Rohit was shocked to hear the same, since he was confident that they would be announced as a winner, on the other hand, Mugdha, Kartik and the team were relaxed that at least the game was still On.

It was more than an hour Mr Lahiri and the judges went to the meeting room to decide on the result, while both the parties were waiting for the result Mr Lahiri and the judges finally came out of the meeting room.

Mr Lahiri went up on the stage and said, It was a difficult decision for us to take as both the parties were equally good but a winner can be only one. So the winner of this contest is .....
