Varun says it will give him more days.
Nahar says he won't stop taking the medicine.
Varun is happy.


Brajesh is with Veer in the office.
A lawyer comes in and tells Brajesh that Nahar asked him to come so he can write out his will. Brajesh and Veer are shocked.

She tells him that Nahar is getting well; the Shwarmi medicine is working on him.
Varun is not happy, he says it may seem that way but the germs will soon overpower him.
He asks if she is still giving Nahar the medication.
Saloni says from now on he will only take the medicine from the Shwarmi.


Varun goes back to Urvashi and they start to think of ways to fix the problem.


Saloni goes back to the temple and sees the female guru, she informs her that her husband is now recovering.
Guru says she is not surprised because she knows the powers the Shwarmi possesses.
Saloni thanks her and she walks away.
One devotee tells Saloni that tomorrow is a special day; the Shwarmi will bless the people with Holy water.
