He fears that his family will not approve of Devayani and will refuse to fund his foreign studies if he makes known his intention to marry her.

Rakhal soon begins to find Devayani's sour and rejectionist attitude tiresome, and he returns to his drinking and gambling cronies.

Rakhal had inherited much wealth from his father, but he is a wastrel with a fondness for drink, cards and girls.

Her husband is briefly put in jail after a drunken brawl at a brothel, and it becomes known that his money is finished.

Unhappy with her marriage and her circumstances, Devayani runs away and becomes a devadasi, performing for a male clientele.

Devayani relocates and throws herself wholeheartedly into earning a living by singing and dancing for a male audience at a traditional-style kotha (with few, if any, instances of sex work).

Once, on the street, he sees a woman who looks like Devayani and calls out to her, but she turns away and quickly sits inside a nearby taxi with no sign of recognition and drives away.
