Tuesday Update On Lies Of The Heart Episode 451 - 453

For Diya’s sake, Shaurya curtly apologises and then asks if they can go now. Karan asks him to do it diligently, and apologise with his hands on both his ears. Shaurya says that they don't have much time.
Karan asks him to get going then, as when Diya asked him to do so in office, he immediately complied. Shaurya says that it was his fault that day. Karan says that he is wrong today too, and hence should get to apologising if he wants him to go to the court for Diya’s case. Shaurya asks him not to be childish, as Diya and his mother have reached the court, and they need to hurry, as they can talk about this stuff later too. Karan is adamant, that he should get to doing what he wants, or else he wont land in court today, and with the same attitude that he threw him out of the house the other day. Shaurya is forced to do Karan's bidding in order for him to testify. He catches both his ears, and apologises, fighting back his rage, while Karan enjoys it every second. He says that the tables have turned, as yesterday he insulted him and today he is apologising. Shaurya asks him to come along. Karan says that he doesn't feel like it and that he wants to go on the right path now. Shaurya tells him that only 15 minutes are left, and asks him to hurry up. But Karan continues his banter saying that he can't hurt Diya's anymore, as she would build up unnecessary expectations from him. Shaurya says that he isn't asking him to get Diya as his fiancee, but just say the truth in the court. Karan intentionally doesn't comply. Shaurya says that he did what he asked him to do and drags Karan, but he asks him to stop for a minute, and then adds that he will go, but has a condition. Shaurya asks what. He smiles evilly.

In the court, Urmi and Diya arrive in the court with Anirudh, who tells them that Ashwini has asked them to meet here only. Anirudh says that he would just go and check. Diya and Urmi wait. Just then, some people recognise Diya as the reporter who got raped, and comment snidely how beautiful she still looks after the incident. One of the lawyers comes and hollers at the men who were leering and making snide comments. The men apologise to him and Diya and they leave hastily. He approaches them and apologises to Diya and Urmi. She thanks him, and then he asks if she is Diya. Diya complies, and he says that he too has a daughter of her age, and he badly understands her pain, as still men think about women as a commodity. Urmi says that they still have to fight the system. He says that he has studied the case, and hopes and prays that they get justice soon. He blesses her and leaves. Diya comments what a good natured man he is. Urmi complies. Just then, a lawyer comes there and introduces herself as Ashwini Karmarkar and approaches Diya asking if she is the rape victim. She nervously complies. Diya asks if they can talk. She rudely responds that they can only talk inside and it isn't needed to chat right now, as it's getting late for the court. Diya is tensed and worried. Urmi is boggled. They enter inside.

Inside the court, Diya is worried that Karan and Shaurya haven't reached. Urmi and Anirudh assure her that they will come. The judge arrives. All are nervous. He identifies the public prosecutor and the defense lawyer, addressing Diya with the imaginary name of Roshni. Urmi and Diya are shocked to see that it's the same person who they met earlier outside the court. Mr. Nigam smiles evilly. Ashwini begins, and starts to present the case, wherein the victim filed the complaint and then the goons were nabbed. She asks the judge the permission to get Diya in the witness box, so that she can present her case first hand. Diya is tensed, and Urmi and Anirudh support her and she stands. She takes the swear and oath. She then says that she is Diya and not the other fake name, because of some incident that happened to her, where she wasn't at fault. The judge asks if she is sure as it's for her benefit. Diya says that changing the name will not be in her benefit, but justice will, and that she is ashamed as she didn't do anything wrong, and hence she has nothing to hide, and infact the rapists should be ashamed after what they did. The whole court are impress with her strongwill and starts clapping for her. The judge asks them to stop, and asks Diya to think again. Diya is strict, saying that this decision will embolden those girls who fight back and try to forget this tragic incident that's a nightmare, for the sake of the society and that she wants to be a role example for such girls. The judge commends her emotions and says that she will be addressed as Diya hereforth. He asks Ashwini to proceed. She starts interrogation with Diya, and asks her to recount it all.

Diya narrates everything. She is asked if she tried to prevent herself, and that means she can identify them. Diya agrees and says that she can easily identify them, as they also had sketches done. She points out to the rapists. The defense lawyer says that he objects as there’s unsubstantiated accusations against his client. Ashwini asks him to let the victim present her statement. The judge asks him to speak when he presents his side. The judge sustains the objections. Ashwini then calls the rapists in the witness box. They comply, as per the judge’s demand. She asks Diya to clearly identify them, and Diya complies and agrees vehemently. The defense lawyer gets up again, saying that they can assume she has been raped, and asks how to prove that they are the rapists, and with what evidence. Ashwini says that the medical reports were conducted 8 days later, which proved the rape, but doesn't confirm the identity of the rapists. The defense lawyer points out again that there’s no solid evidence that they are the rapists, instead of one of them. He asks if they have any. Urmi is shocked at his callousness and hypocrisy. He says that there’s no evidence and that his client has been unnecessarily tortured mentally and physically. He asks the judge not to waste time of the court, and let them be aquitted. Ashwini says that she has an evidence, in the form of an eyewitness, which is Diya’s fiancee, Karan, and asks the permission to present him in the witness box. They are tensed. Urmi and Anirudh wonders where Karan and Shaurya are, as if they don't reach on time, there would be huge trouble. Ashwini asks where Karan is, and Urmi assures that he would be here in sometime. Urmi eyes Diya helplessly. All are tensed while Diya’s worried.

When Karan doesn't come, all get tensed. The defense lawyer says that there’s no solid evidence and it's just a wastage of court’s room. Urmi vehemently says that he will just come. The judge asks her to speak through her counsel. Mrs. Karmakar pleads for somemore time, while the defense lawyer doesn't let her plead. The defense lawyer insists that due to lack of evidence, the judge should reject the case, and aquit his clients. Diya and Urmi watch helplessly. Diya too pleads that Karan might come anytime. The defense lawyer asks how can a fiancee be late to the girl’s court hearing, and he would have been here if he had to. The judge is about to give his verdict, when Urmi asks the counsel to demand for somemore time. Ashwini then asks the court, to study the case more thoroughly, for some more time. The judge allows, overruling the defense’s onjections. He then insists that due to the lack of any solid evidence, incriminating his clients, they should be given bail. The judge agrees, while Diya and Urmi helplessly, point out that these ghastly criminals can't be left loose, so that they can molest other innocent women. Ashwini doesn't make much of an effort. The judge gives them bail, while the rapists are amused. Diya is distraught.

The judge gives the date for the second hearing and then adjourns the court. After all leave, the defense lawyer comes to Diya tauntingly, and says that they shouldn't have gotten bail, but that is how the judiciary works. He furthermore points out the weak lawyer that she has got, who is satisfied with her goverment job and salary. He says that if they had worked a little, then the nations wouldn't have been in tatters. He leaves. Urmi comes and confronts the lawyer. Urmi asks the prosecutor how could she have let them get bail, and not say anything. She asks how would she have avoided. Urmi points out her incompetence, and says that she didn't make any effort, and that if this happens, they would lose the case, even before it starts. The lawyer keeps pointing out that she did what she could. Anirudh says that Urmi is right, and had she not pointed out to demand for more time, they would have lost the case, on the defense lawyer’s persistence. The lawyer says that's not her problem, as her evidence didn't turn up, and they are pointing accusing fingers at her. Urmi says that there might have been some problem, and that she should have fought for it, but she gave up comepletely. The lawyer points that they rarely have a 20% chance, as is it, to win. Diya asks if she doesn't have any conviction, then how do they put their faith in her to win. She says that she doesn't have any other option, and asks her to suck it up, or else do whatever she wants to. She callously says that she got thousands of cases given by the government to handle and that she can't put in more effort than this. She leaves. Diya is appalled, as she wipes her tears. She comes down the witness box, keeping a brave face, and then Urmi comes to her support and says that the condition she is in, a woman has been fighting and losing for centuries like this, but she won't let history repeat, but they would create history by winning this case, and bringing her justice, hugging her, while both are in tears. Anirudh is emotional too.

Obliviously to all this, Shaurya arrives hurriedly in his car, with Karan casually and carelessly lagging behind. He nudges Karan to hurry along. He is surprised to find Diya, his mother and grandfather Anirudh out of the courtroom. He asks what about the hearing. Urmi says that it's over. Karan is amused. Urmi asks what took them so long, and tells them what happened due to their delay. Shaurya is appalled. Anirudh asks how could Shaurya be so irresponsible. He is about to speak, when Karan says that Shaurya’s car broke down. Urmi asks why couldn't they take an auto. Shaurya stands quiet, while Karan keeps giving excuses. Shaurya goes aside in anger. Karan assures Diya that next time he would handle everything in court. Diya stands tensed. Urmi comes to Shaurya and asks if he actually got late, or there’s something else. While Karan tries to appease Diya, at a distance, Shaurya narrates everything to his mother. Urmi is disgusted to hear how heartless Karen can be, and says that she knows what to do with Karan. Shaurya says that to get Karan to agree, he would have to comply. They are tensed.

At AWAZ’s Office, as Shaurya walks in, Chiku comes to him and asks how was the first hearing. Shaurya says that it went terribly. He then asks Chiku to get one of the reporters to schedule an interview. Chiku asks who do they have to interview, and is shocked when she hears that it's Karan. Shaurya says that they have to build his image as an actor. Chiku is boggled and keeps asking questions as to why. Shaurya gets angry, while asking Chiku to just get it done but he could not tell his nephew that he is forced to do Karan's bidding in order for him to testify. Chiku is boggled and asks why should they do this for him. He clarifies that they are doing this for Diya, and then talks about the condition, that Karan will give his witness, only if they make his image as an actor. Chiku says that this is blackmailing, but Shaurya says that they have no other option. Chiku is tensed.
At Gaurav’s residence, while all sit, Nupur gets a customer’s call, and then excuses herself to take the calls. Once aside, she hollers why is he calling. He talks about a hefty clientele, paying her thrice the money, which would be good for her, and she has to come at eight. Nupur thinks that the money could come in handy for the next few months, and tries to find a way to sneak out for sometime in the night. Just then, the doorbell rings and Chiku comes in. He says that he got free early. Asha is happy. He says that he has got movie tickets for everyone and while Nupur is busy with her phone, Gaurav is tensed why Nupur, as she is socially weird. But Chiku says that it's good, since this will be a good outing for her. Asha tells this to Nupur happily, who thinks that this will be the perfect escape plan. Asha asks what's she thinking. Nupur starts faking a stomach ache, and Asha tags along, saying that she too will not go. Chiku tried to convince them that the movie tickets will go waste, and Nupur insists that they should all go. They comply. Nupur is happy that now she can get her business done.

At Urmi’s residence, it is revealed that after Ishaan's death, Urmi studied law as Shaurya asks his mother that she has read law, and Urmi responds affirmative. He asks his mother why doesn't she fight Diya’s case. They are all surprised, while Urmi is set to thinking. She asks how can this be. He says that he has a degree too. Anirudh too vehemently likes the idea, and says that she can fight wonderfully, as she has done law, after Ishaan went, and gone through his entrie library. Sandhya too supports. Urmi says that she just passed the exam, and never practised. Damini comments on the pathetic condition of Diya, that she feels sympathy, that a totally inexperienced lawyer will fight for her justice. Anirudh asks her to stop if she can't encourage her. Diya too agreed that no-one can be better than her. Urmi is hesitant, while the others have full confidence and trust in her. Anirudh asks her to have faith in herself and her efficiency. Seeing that her family encourages her to take over Diya's case, Urmi points out that the victim can't hire a lawyer by the rules. Shaurya says that there definitely must be a way out and asks her to search for it. Anirudh asks her to file an affidavit through her NGO, as trying won't hurt, and it would be good if they accept. Diya says that she too wants this, as Urmi would leave no stone unturned to get her justice. Urmi is determined as her whole family encourages her to take over Diya's case and says that if possible, she would get her justice, as she knows when she gets justice, that would embolden many other girls, to get justice. All are happy for her and Diya. Urmi is set to thinking. Damini glares tensedly. Shaurya says that they are with her, and if no-one else, she would get Diya justice while Urmi look determined and tensed too.

At Gaurav’s residence, Chiku comes from the intervals having found the movie boring, and then rings the doorbell, but Nupur doesn't open the door. He disconnects his call, and then wonders why is no-one opening the door. He uses his key to get inside, and then searches around for her, but doesn't find her. He wonders where she went, as she wasn't well. Suddenly, the car horn alarms him, as he goes to the window, to find Nupur returning in a car with an elderly man. Chiku finds that she is taking money from the customer, who flirts out with her, demanding a kiss. She continues in her professional manner, while Chiku is disgusted wondering what's she doing, and who is she with. He wonders what's going on. As she enters dancing, she is shocked to find Chiku, and asks why is he home so early, as he was at the movies. He says that he found it boring, hence came, and then asks her why was she out, as she was sick. She says that she went to the doctor, alone, and then hastily says that the condition worsened and she went out to take medicines, and before he can ask anything furhter, she hastily retreats to her room. He wonders why is she lying, and is determined to find out.
The next morning, Asha excitedly serves everyone breakfast, while Chiku joins them still boggled and tensed of Nupur’s behaviour last night, and how she lied on top of that. He indirectly tries to engage in Nupur in his conversation, asking that he must have tried Mumbai’s delicacies. His mother Asha falls prey, and then he immediately asks when did she find out so much about Mumbai, if she is new to Mumbai. Nupur is embarassed, and wonders what to do. She makes an excuse, of coming to Mumbai in her childhood. Gaurav too vehemently sides with Nupur, to save face. Chiku gets angry and hastily walks off.

At Urmi’s residence, Shaurya is tensed, while Diya wonders what will happen today and who will fight. He says that he doesn't know, as the court hasn't indicated, whether they approve of his mother or not. Urmi says that it would be a big deal, if they allow her. Anirudh is tensed too. Damini asks them not to be childish. Urmi is hesitant and doubtful if she will get the permit and license to practise, as she has had no experience at all, in practising law. Damini asks if they actually think that she will get the permit to fight Diya’s case, as the government can't change laws in a snap, nor would they give Diya a mind blowing lawyer for her case. Anirudh says that he is tensed, that they get a worse lawyer. Damini says that if so happen, then Diya and her case, both are a total gone case, as after all the trouble, even if she has to win the case, she won't. She adds that after so many years, if she takes to practise, she wouldn't get the permit so easily. Shaurya who believe that his mother can make a difference in Diya's case says that nothing like this will happen, and assures his mother to come along, as he is sure that she will get the requisite affidavit approval, to fight Diya’s case. Urmi is tensed. Anirudh is also hopeful. He leaves along with Diya, Urmi and Shaurya.

At the Court room, the defense lawyer taunts Diya for the absence of a lawyer. Urmi storms in wearing the black coat, saying that she will fight. He says that government orders will be required for that. She shows him the requisite papers and then gives it to the steno. He taunts Urmi yet again, saying that he didn't know she was capable of making such huge changes in the government and says that he salutes women empowerment. He says that he will enjoy. She then asks him to be happy. He continues to teases her on her naivety. She then through an anecdotic example, points out as to how overconfidence can kill a person. He smirks and they both take their seats. Karan turns around, and then Shaurya if the media want called. Shaurya tells him that in rare cases, the media doesn't come in. The judge arrives and Karan is disappointed. the steno serves him Urmi’s affidavit, and then the judge asks the prosecutor to continue. Urmi thanks the judge, and then points out about the eyewitness, and the evidence that they were talking about in the previous hearing, Diya’s fiancee, who couldn't come that day due to some issues. The judge asks him to take his stand in the witness box. He complies, and swears on the Gita to speak the truth. Urmi asks him if he was there with Diya that night, and if he entered into a scuffle that night with them, and if he would be able to recognise the culprits. Karan vehemently complies, and then says that it's these three people only. The criminals pretend to be all sweet and innocent, saying that they have never met this man ever before.

Diya, Urmi and Karan point out that they are lying. Karan asks him not to pretend, as it was them only. The defense lawyer asks for permission to interrogate Karan. Urmi complies. The lawyer asks Karan that they were engaged, and asks why did they wander around in the streets that late in the night. Karan is stumped. Urmi points out that this is irrelevant, as they live in a free country, where a girl can roam with a guy at any time in the night, as that doesn't give right to rapists to take advantage of the girl. The lawyer says that there’s no permit for accusing innocent people either. The judge asks him to get to the point. He says that it was severely stormy that night, and then asks Karan his age, and his proficiency of eyesight. Urmi again pints out that this question is irrelevant, as it bears no connection to the case. The lawyer claims that there’s a connection, as the day this incident happened, the street lights were all fused, and then asks how did he recognise these people. Karan says that there was enough light. The defense lawyer is unconvinced. Urmi says that there was good visibility, and Karan and Diya both remember the faces nicely. The defense lawyer says that they are just concocting a fake story to implicate their client. She says that these were the criminals. He says that this isn't possible. She asks why. The lawyer says that these accused weren't there in Mumbai on that fateful night as they had gone to Shirdi, on the third of july, and presents bus tickets to Shirdi, for the second of july. Urmi says that it's possible, that they went and then returned before fifth of july too. The lawyer says that he knew she would question about this, and hence give the lodge bills for their stay there. Urmi says that such documents can be found anywhere, and didn't expect him to be this naive to present them as solid evidence in the court. He asks if this is childish, then how can it be proven that they were in Mumbai on fifth of July. She says with confidence that she was waiting for this very question. He is boggled.

Urmi presents them the mobile phone bills’, which shows the details of the sim and its location and says that these clearly prove that they weren't in Shirdi but in Mumbai, that fateful night of the fifth of july. The steno gives the papers to the judge to verify. The lawyer commends her thorough work, and her brilliant lawyer skills, but for her information, he gives in another piece of information. The lawyer states that before the fifth of july, the three mobile phones were stolen. Urmi is boggled, but says that this is a very weird co-incidence, that all the 3 phones were stolen. The rapist lawyer says that their stuff was stoen, when they were boarding the bus. She casually asks the lawyer to let the accused talk. He complies. She turns to the accused, and asks about that incident, and that they must have gotten an FIR. They deny. She says that they took the lodge bills, but forget to file an FIR for the stolen stuff when it was all they had. The main culprit says that they were tired of Mumbai, and then pretends a sob story, that they tried to start afresh in Shirdi. She asks if they find this story believable.

The lawyer stands up and says that out of thousands of cases, only some of them get reported or see the court doors. He says that if they even agree that his clients were in Mumbai, how will she prove that they entered into a scuffle with Karan that night. She asks the judge for another hearing to prove that they were the rapists. The judge complies with another date, and adjourns the case. The defense lawyer is tensed. Urmi turns to Diya hopefully. Anirudh and Shaurya approve of Urmi’s brilliant lawyer skills. Urmi caresses Diya’s face.
