Imlie urges Agastya to let her go, but he insists she answer a crucial question – whether she loves him. She remains silent, tears welling up. Agastya repeats the question, and Imlie, recalling Vishwa’s caution, decides to respond negatively. She characterizes Agastya as a self-obsessed walnut shell, labeling him rude and arrogant. Agastya, undeterred, persists in questioning her love for him. Despite Imlie’s firm denial, he presses further. Imlie stands by her response and walks away.
Back at home, Imlie hears Shivani’s excitement about her impending wedding and Avinash. Shivani shares her criteria for selecting Avinash, emphasizing compatibility. Imlie, in contrast, reveals that Agastya has never taken her on a date. Vishwa warns Imlie about not meddling in Shivani’s life and discreetly places a spy device on her finger to monitor her conversations.
