About Deepika and Shoaib's performance
The performance started with a doctor telling Dipika (Anuradha ) that pregnancy has complications. While Dipika tells Shoaib last time ki tarah is bar bhi toh...( just like last time..this time also). During the performance, they said that Ruhaan was born premature and was put on a ventilator.
