She warns Lakshmi not to lower herself as she did in court. Lakshmi asks if they have no other work and is reminded of court orders, with Neelam insisting Malishka is the lady of the house.
Lakshmi defends herself, saying she’s here because of the court, not to disrupt their lives.

Rishi wants to talk to Lakshmi privately.
