After experiencing 16 rejections in one-sided love, Harsh meets Jhanvi, who has similarly turned down around 200 suitors from her teenage years to her current age of 26. During their first meeting, Harsh struggles to introduce himself and encourages Jhanvi to share her interests. Jhanvi expresses her love for traveling and wildlife, particularly snakes, while reflecting on the compromises she has made in her life. Harsh reveals that he also enjoys pets and traveling but often feels lonely during his trips. He expresses hope that if they were to be together, they could share their passions and build a life aligned with their interests. Jhanvi is skeptical yet intrigued by Harsh's proposal, noting that she may have found the partner she has been looking for in this arranged marriage. Harsh then shares about his four role models: his supportive parents, his charismatic uncle and aunt, a couple engaged in a mutual business, and his mentor who has transformed his career. Jhanvi finds his perspective inspiring and hopes that Harsh will agree to build a future together. Harsh internally expresses a desire for that same future.
