(The contest entails him picking up his wife on his shoulders and running a race). Meanwhile, Sandhya and Prem reach the court to file divorce. The court decides that the two must spend 6 months with each other and try to work it out. Both decide to live together just as a formality but ice breaks between the two, as they both start understanding each other.

The d-day arrives and much to the surprise of the society members, Prem and Sandhya join the co-participants. Surprisingly, Prem shoulders the weight of his wife and surges past all other contestants who fall like nine pins.
