Meanwhile, Aakash becomes a psychiatrist with Reena in the same hospital. Five years later, Megha is admitted to the psychiatric ward of the same hospital in a very disturbed condition. She is unable to recall anything except her last day with Akash, when both had planned to marry each other. Watch how Akash comes to terms with his lost love and promises to do his best to unravel the mystery that is Megha and her equally mysterious disappearance and her sudden re-appearance in his life. Megha is married to Chandranath Diwan (Irrfan Khan), a very rich drug addict. Megha claims she gets threatening calls and that somebody is trying to kill her.
