She realises that he suffered the damage in the accident that killed his parents and that she was responsible for. At the concert, Nisha tries her best to convince Aalap to not play the instrument. A desperate Nisha recruits Sargam's father to stop Aalap. Aalap overhears Nisha confessing her role in the accident and Aalap's condition. Conflicted if he should play, Aalap talks to Sargam and decides to go onstage determined to fulfil his dead parents' wish, but bleeds out and dies. Later, Nisha and Sargam's father find Sargam dead as well.
