The episode begins with Sayli making the bed when Sachin enters with a box of expensive-looking dates. He joyfully explains they are a gift from his friend who works as a taxi driver in Dubai. He jokes that his friend is a hard worker, unlike Roshni’s uncle, “Habiba Chicha,” who he claims returns from Dubai empty-handed, only swearing on goats. This conversation is overheard by Roshni, who looks visibly worried from behind a latticed door.
The mention of the uncle triggers Sayli’s memory. She tells Sachin she needs to tell him something important. Sachin, in his typical fashion, jumps to a wild conclusion, asking if Roshni’s uncle is in jail grinding wheat with her father. Sayli dismisses this and reveals that while on her way to Tejas’s showroom, she saw a man who looked exactly like Roshni’s uncle. She even followed him for a bit before he disappeared. She also mentions that when she questioned Roshni about it, Roshni’s face turned pale with fear.
Sachin is now suspicious. He points out the inconsistencies in Roshni’s stories—how can her uncle be in a Dubai jail but still manage to send money? He calls it a “jail or an ATM.” He becomes convinced that the man Sayli saw was indeed the real uncle and that Roshni is hiding something. Overhearing their entire conversation, Roshni panics, realizing her secret is in jeopardy. Sachin decides they need to find solid proof before confronting anyone.
The next morning, the family is gathered in the living room. Roshni enters while on a video call with a man she calls “Chacha ji.” The man, Sultan, is dressed in a gaudy yellow suit with heavy gold chains, standing in front of an obvious green-screen background of Dubai skyscrapers. He overacts his part, using phrases like “Wallah Habibi” and promising that Roshni’s father will be released from jail within a month. He also announces that he is sending 5 lakh rupees for Tejas’s new showroom. The family is overjoyed, but Sachin and Sayli exchange suspicious glances, noting that the whole setup looks fake.
In a twist, it’s revealed that Sultan is a hired actor. Roshni and her friend Shikha confront him for going off-script and adding the promises of money and her father’s release, which has now complicated their elaborate lie. Sultan defends himself, calling it his artistic touch to make the performance more believable.
Later, while driving his taxi, Sachin witnesses a local goon, Chitte, harassing a man named Dilip and his family for money. Sachin intervenes, slaps Chitte, and warns him to stay away, establishing his “local hero” persona.
Back in the kitchen, Sayli is now convinced that the video call was real and she must have been mistaken. However, Sachin, ever the street-smart observer, points out that the background was clearly fake, a product of “vigyan” (technology/green screen). He is now more certain than ever that Roshni is orchestrating a deception and that her real uncle is in Mumbai. The episode ends with Sachin determined to uncover the truth.
