The King keeps avoiding his exercises and this troubles Milli because she is determined to cure him so she turns to Vikram for help. He gives Milli the same answer that the Queen gave her, "If she cannot handle the job, she may leave." Milli gets furious and accuses the Royal Family to be stubborn, rigid and self-centered. Vikram reconsiders but the King refuses. Just when Milli is deciding to leave, she learns the reason for the King's unwillingness to be cured from the Royal Servant Ram Sevak: ten years ago, Ambar, the family's eldest son, died in a car crash.

Milli gets kidnapped, and when Vikram saves her, she kisses him in her drunken state, though regrets it the next morning. The two start falling for each other. Milli confesses her love for him but Vikram refuses to acknowledge it, saying that they come from two different stocks. He is also engaged to a lady of his status Kiara (Aditi Rao Hydari). Divya runs away to try out for auditions in Jaipur. Milli informs the Queen that she knew about Divya's plans. The Queen becomes furious and Milli is ordered to leave. Divya returns and tells Nirmala that she came back because of Milli. The King surprises Nirmala by standing up, and admits that he saw Divya run away. He tells her that this is what Milli has been trying to teach them; to love life as it is. Milli however is heartbroken due to Vikram's refusal. Vikram breaks off his engagement with Kiara and confesses his love for Milli and the royal couple gives him their blessings, telling him to go find her in Delhi.
