Ritesh Malhotra worries about Indu Raina’s condition and rushes to check on her. Indu is unconscious. Zoon, along with Principal Bhagat, arrives and gently helps Indu to her side. As Ritesh notices Indu’s half-removed disguise, he removes it completely and realizes she is Zoon’s mother. Memories of dancing with Indu and finding Zoon alone at the mall flood back. He confirms with Principal Bhagat that Indu is indeed Zoon’s mother. Ritesh initially thinks Indu has a drinking problem, judging her harshly, but reassures Zoon that her Moj will be fine. Zoon worries about being teased by her friends, but Ritesh promises her victory in the match.
Meanwhile, Rahul questions Ritesh’s plan to play the match for a young girl. Ritesh insists he does not need permission and explains his frustration with Indu, calling her irresponsible for leaving Zoon alone at the mall. He emphasizes that today is all about Zoon and asks Rahul to ensure Indu stays at home. A peon delivers the sports clothes to Ritesh, who quickly changes to prepare for the match.
At the school, Vivek checks on Zoon, realizing that Indu has been sent home. The teacher announces that Indu cannot play, and special player Ritesh Malhotra will replace her. Ritesh arrives in a sports tracksuit, earning smiles from Vivek and Zoon. Sunil’s father notices him, while Zoon wishes “All the best, Genie Ritesh!” The match begins, and Ritesh skillfully plays, leading Zoon’s team to victory.
Kadambari wonders why Ritesh shows concern for Zoon, questioning who the girl is. Zoon celebrates the win, and Ritesh takes selfies with the team members. A boy refuses to give Zoon the phone, but the teacher ensures he apologizes. Ritesh lifts Zoon in his arms, calling her the real rockstar, while Kadambari captures the moment in photos.
At home, Vivek’s mother notices a luxury car arriving and asks Rajendra whose it is. Rajendra explains that it belongs to Ritesh Malhotra, who had sent gifts earlier. Sunita speculates about a connection between Indu and Ritesh, hoping that one day Indu Raina will become Indu Ritesh Malhotra.
Back at school, Indu regains consciousness and learns from Rajendra that Zoon’s team won the match, thanks to Ritesh Malhotra’s participation. Sunita realizes that Ritesh played as Zoon’s father. Indu promises to explain everything to Zoon later.
At home, Ritesh lies on the sofa, reflecting on Zoon’s situation. He recalls his own childhood loss of his father and empathizes with Zoon’s longing for a paternal figure. Ritesh expresses his desire to comfort her and acknowledges that children always need a Papa, even as they grow up. Rahul reminds him that Zoon has her mother, but Ritesh clarifies that his concern is for the child’s emotional needs.
