Naina and Rudra sit down to eat dinner together in his office. They make small talk about the designs and the upcoming fashion show. Naina tries to keep the conversation professional, but she can't help feeling a little awkward after overhearing Rudra's conversation with Shanaya earlier. As they eat, Rudra asks Naina about her interests and hobbies outside of work. Naina opens up to him, and they start to bond over their shared love of design and creativity.
As the night wears on, Rudra starts to open up to Naina about his own struggles and stresses. He confides in her about the pressure to succeed in the competitive fashion industry, and the weight of his family's expectations. Naina listens attentively, offering words of encouragement and support.
"This fashion show is extremely important for me and I can do anything to make it a success," Rudra says to Naina.
For a moment, Rudra's mask slips, and Naina sees a glimmer of vulnerability behind his usual confident exterior.
