Oshin has a plan to propose to Tara, but just as he's about to do so, Tara reveals that her long-distance boyfriend, Ankush, is coming to live in the same town.

Catanation

Luck doesn't seem to be on Oshin's side, as Ankush arrives from Rishikesh for his preparations. To make matters even more complicated, Ankush's father happens to be best friends with Aayush's father, who used to be Oshin's roommate. This connection leads to Ankush moving in with Oshin and Aayush.

Electrophilic Substitution

Oshin becomes friends with Ankush and goes with him on his dates with Tara. With Aayush's assistance, Oshin records something Ankush says, which implies that Ankush is only interested in Tara's appearance and wants a physical relationship, with no long-term plans. Oshin then plays this recording for Tara to hear.

Ionic Bond

After Ankush leaves Tara's life, a special bond begins to form between Oshin and Tara. Tara starts developing feelings for Oshin, but she needs some time to make a decision. She wants to be certain if her attraction is just a passing feeling or if it's true love.
