Devar, sensing the growing closeness between Bhabi and Smoll, began to feel a pang of jealousy. He had always trusted Bhabi, but now he couldn't shake off the feeling that she was drifting away from him. He tried to talk to Bhabi about it, but she reassured him that her love for him had not changed.
In the end, Rukmini and Akshay decided to prioritize their family and their relationships. They chose to acknowledge their feelings, but not to act upon them.
