Tara’s parents started the topic of settling down in marriage after bagging the job.

Tara was in dilemma, wondering whether to continue the relationship with Arun or not. She gave much importance to social status and did not want to belittle her image in the eyes of people.

She took a hard decision to part ways with Arun. Gradually she minimized her interactions with Arun.

She married Jayant, both did their training together.
