That night both of them try on the ring & next day they finds out that they have switched bodies i.e. Janaki became Alvy with Janaki's mind and Alvy became Janaki with Alvy's mind. Janaki's friends try to find a cure for this but everything turns out to be medical. Alvy and vikki enjoys their day & Janaki & her friends enjoys their day when both of them comes face to face. The next day Janaki's mother & grandmother arrive at her home to see her & they bring Alvy to impersonate as Janaki. Gradually they fall in love with each other.

They reveal that they got a ring as a gift. Janaki(in Alvy's body) show the picture of the ring. The historian reveals that the ring swaps the bodies and they have to change within 15 days i.e. they have to change today before the sunset or they will be like this forever. Both of them finds the rind but before putting it on Janaki (in Alvy's body) gets kidnapped by some Hindi speaking guys. Alvy (in Janaki's body) comes to beat them up but the bad guys overpowers her. Vikki pickpockets the ring from the leader and gives it to both of them.
