Unable to acquaint himself with her, he stumbles across her again in Silchar and follows her. Despite her constant refusal, Amar strives to win her over and travels to Ladakh after her. Several failed attempts later, he returns to Delhi, only to get embroiled in a dangerous terrorist plot involving the woman he has been chasing for so long.
