With this moral boost, Aditya Nagarkar and Anjali decide to tie a knot. This brings an end to the love triangle.
During the same time, Meghana receives a transfer to Pune which she accepts. Nana and Maai support this transfer because they feel having been the youngest, they haven't really understood the work that goes in managing a house and they should try living on their own. This upsets Vijaya. Also with a newly established supermarket business, Archana and Vijaya both become too busy to manage the home. Maai also cannot help because of her growing arthritis problems. Everyone notices that Vijaya is upset with Meghana, but can't do anything about it and another transfer back to Mumbai, brings Meghana home and makes Vijaya realize her folly.
