Six months later, at a railway station, Roshni saves a businessman named Prakash Roy (Mammootty), who is attempting suicide by jumping in front of a train. When she realizes the man is under the influence of alcohol, she leaves him at the train station.
Later, his butler, Raymond, contacts Roshni after reviewing CCTV footage of the incident. When Roshni visits Prakash, she mistakenly assumes he is a womanizer. She walks off in anger that she helped an underserving man but didn't realise that she had taken his wallet accidentally.
Prakash calls Roshni to retrieve his wallet and suggests they meet at the cemetery. When they meet, she returns the wallet, but Roshni is reluctant to form a friendship with him. Prakash tries relentlessly after that to befriend her and wins her over with sheer perseverance.
