Maan’s mother and Pran have come to meet Maan. Maan requests Pran to bring Saeeda to her. He wants to see her just once. But, since she is a material witness, Pran does not want him to meet her. Maan eagerly wants to apologize to Saeeda for what he did. Pran is angry at him and says that it’s better for him to forget her.

The jeweller returns the medals to Mrs. Mehra as a gift.

Lata and Haresh get married in Lata’s house. Everyone has a gala time. But, Kabir crosses her house and notices the wedding celebration. I feel bad for him. He is a nice boy and I believe that he deserves to be happy.

Lata leaves with Haresh for Praha. Her family comes to bid her adieu. In the train, Lata and Haresh kiss each other for the first time. Haresh goes to sleep after a while, and Lata looks at the innocence that reflects on his face.

The series ends here. I really wish it didn’t. No doubt that Mira Nair never loses her sparkle in making any film. A Suitable Boy left me with mixed emotions. Someone finally found happiness, while someone is still searching for light. This series has become one of my favourite Indian series and I would recommend it to everyone.
