She stands up to Bhagwan's brutality at home. After the scuffle, Shravan was jailed. But after release he started pursuing Sunaina and she reciprocates his advances. The one day Sunaina informs Shravan that Bhagwan is getting her engaged to some random guy and that he needs to do something if he wants to be with her.Meanwhile Shravan was hoping to compete in the regional boxing tournament, but finds his name missing from the list of boxers selected. The admin guy tells him that Bhagwan has stopped his selection. Shravan meets Bhagwan, but Bhagwan asks Shravan to drink his urine as a precondition to allow him to box. In retaliation, Shravan attacks the groom's car when he comes to see Sunaina. Bhagwan again gets Shravan arrested.
