After spending ten long years in prison, Tulsi returns to Shantiniketan, only to find it changed irreparably. Her family appears splintered, and her very presence is met with cold distance; she goes unrecognized. While Tulsi grapples with this reality, Arundhati, now a different person, embraces her departure with heartfelt sorrow. Meanwhile, Nandini’s decision to stand by her family shows her resilience, even as the divides deepen.
