On the other hand Mihir meets Mr. Vibhutinarain Chaturvedi, a brilliant scholar and an expert on Indian scriptures. For him, Maya and Kabir are classic examples of immorality and the things that are wrong in this world. The two guiders happen to encounter each other at dinner and the battle lines are drawn. One thing leads to another and Vibhuti agrees to teach the Bhagvad Geeta to Maya, with conditions applied. Slowly through an exploration of Bhagvad Geeta, both Vibhuti and Maya start understanding each other better but become slaves of their surroundings. On the other hand, at Maya’s absence, Kabir is able to realize the depth of his love for Maya, where the entry of Nutan Pujari complicates things.

The storyline was simple that stressed on different perceptions of people with dissimilar mindsets on the same topics. The actors were immensely appreciated by the crowd that enjoyed the play to the core.
