Q1

Why did Kukoo and Nainaa decide to get a divorce?

Kukoo and Nainaa grew apart over five years of marriage in Toronto. Nainaa advanced in her corporate career and received an offer to become VP of HR in New York City, while Kukoo remained frustrated working as a bouncer. The spark faded as silences lengthened and resentments quietly accumulated, leading them to mutually decide on divorce during their wedding anniversary.

Foreshadowing: Earlier scenes show their growing emotional distance and Nainaa's career success creating tension.

Q2

Why did Bheem fake a heart attack?

Q3

Why does Geeta forgive Bheem after learning about the affair?

Despite the betrayal, Geeta attempts reconciliation partly to keep the family together during Ginny's wedding and partly due to her own emotional complexity.
