Pooja gets angry and gets into a fight with them. The next day, she and her friends see a gang of men harassing girls at a park. During a school trip, Yardley approaches Pooja and reveals his crush on her. She settles on Yardley, a popular boy in her school. Because of her advice, Pooja decides that she must find someone to love herself. During one of their meetings, she tells Pooja that she can either choose to marry a man she loves or learn to love a stranger that she is forced to marry through arranged marriage. Pooja recounts her childhood memories of being a tomboy, riding a motorbike, and of her friendship with Rachel Aunty who makes and sells wine as her job. Pooja also has two friends: Neetu, a flirt, and Donna, a foodie. Her mother, a college lecturer by profession, is a sweet and down-to-earth woman who loves cooking and appreciating her own culinary skills. Her father is a doctor by profession and enjoys recording and listening to his own renditions of songs. She introduces the audience to her parents. The story resumes in 1999 where the baby girl, Pooja Mathew, is now a seventeen year old tomboy in grade 12. Mathew glares at the stranger and praises God once again.

As the stranger says this, a nurse comes out of the delivery room carrying the baby, apologizing that she made a mistake, and confirming that the baby is actually a girl. A stranger comments that Mathew was lucky the baby was not a girl, as he would have had to worry about her all his life. He learns that his wife has delivered a baby boy and thanks God for the good news.

Mathew Devasya anxiously paces the hall outside of a delivery room.
