But, in the meanwhile Gaurav arrives and tells her mother about the scholarship he got from California University for higher studies and research work. Manju is reluctant in sending her son abroad.
In the next scene, Manju’s friend ‘Deepa’ is seen convincing her to let Gaurav go abroad but the emotional mother says that after a span of time moral values change.
She further said that she too was offered scholarship by the University for Higher Studies when Gaurav was only a year old, which she refused for the sake of her child.
