Ragging Turns Awkward for Arman and Abhira
Abhira and Arman walk into what turns out to be a ragging session organized by the seniors. A girl dares Arman to propose to any girl there.

Love and Jealousy Spark Among Friends
Later, Alia and Lavanya gossip about the undeniable chemistry between Abhira and Arman. Abhira explains that Arman only proposed because the seniors forced him, but Lavanya teases her for blushing.
