She remembers the bald child in the hospital and gets heartbroken. She raises her morale and tells Jeevika that it would be better to shave off her entire hair than watch it falling daily. The moment she loses all her hair to the blade of the hair dresser, Maanvi wants to see herself in the mirror. Jeevika tries to dissuade her but Maanvi is adamant.
