Ignoring all the reproaches and words of caution, they have been living together for quite some time. Rupsa is making a documentary on the public perception of same-sex relationships in India. For that reason she has to meet a lot of people - some supportive of the issue, some dismissive, and others apprehensive of it. Meanwhile, Ranja's mother comes to stay with them.
