Wanting to get rich for Zoya, Arjun steps up from playing small-time card games to becoming a bookie and strikes gold.
After impressing Zoya with his wealth, he calls his father for lunch in his new house. His father, a simple man who has lived an honest life, is happy to see Arjun's success but skeptical of his business methods. He tells Zoya that Arjun was a habitual and a smooth liar. When Zoya questions Arjun, he is offended and blames his father's failure in life for his resentment toward him.

Rolling in money and enjoying a fast life with Zoya, everything is interrupted when the South African Police takes notice. Now an ACP with the CBI, Shekhar is summoned for assisting the investigation and contacts Zoya to help trap Arjun.
