She hides her own identity in the new environment and tries settling into a new life without any burdens and sorrows. During this period, there comes a new problem which she had never imaged about.

Valli is upset that she is married to someone she does not know. After that, it is revealed that Vicky is a rich family guy who has the temperament to bet on money and do whatever it takes to win, and thus forcibly tied Thaali around Valli's neck in order to win the bet with Indrasena.

Everyone there, including Nandan, tells Valli about the idea of removing the thaali that was tied against her will and remarrying.
