Nevertheless she continues to talk to him and wish him on his birthday, and Rajiv is taken aback by the fact that it was Payal and not Alisha who bothered to wish him first of all, as Alisha is busy with her modelling shoot. At his birthday party, Mambo and Rajiv come to blows because of Payal, and Alisha slowly starts disliking Payal. The final straw is when Alisha sees Rajiv and Payal talking, and she comes to know that both of them were together before she entered the college, and she confronts Payal and behaves rudely with her, and accuses her of stealing her boyfriend. Mambo tried to defend Payal, and Alisha puts him off, which infuriates him, and Rajiv and Mambo get into a fist fight. At Alisha's flat, Rajiv is unable to think of anything else but how Payal loved him and he let her go, and how after their break up too, she still cared for him, and the recent fight. But when Alisha hugs Rajiv,he imagines Alisha to be Payal, and accidentally says 'I love you, Payal,'
At the last day of the college party, Rajiv apologizes to Mambo with a thought that mambo was planning to propose to Payal, but then realizes his mistake as payal still loves him. Rajiv takes the mike, and publicly apologizes to Payal, and tells her he loves her a lot, even though she might not believe him. Payal is still angry with him and tells him that despite doing a drama in front of everyone and proclaiming his love for her is not going to make her relent. Rajiv stands still in front of her and gazes pleadingly into her eyes, and Payal is convinced that Rajiv does love her. The movie ends with a happy Rajiv and Payal, and Alisha coming over to wish Rajiv all the best for his life.
