The Doctor tries to force himself upon Sharada and when she resists, he boasts that Sita was in love with him and was about to divorce Rajesh, before she died. Rajesh sees and hears all of this and bashes the doctor up. In revenge, the Doctor gets a story published in newspapers which say Sita was having an affair with the Doctor before she died.
