Varun gets irked by the same answer….and when varun asked swara to come for a cricket match…she replied the same…which frustrates him…and in frustration …he banged the car lid..which was kept open for cleaning…and due to the force….the car lid falls off the grip and its hits Sanskar’s hand…which was inside it……seeing the blood from Sanskar hand …swara gets..annoyed…and she accused varun for all the mis happenings…. And the way she took care of Sanskar …..built up jealous in saranya……. ..
