Anbarasan (Anbu) is a popular, social science teacher at a secondary school in Pondicherry.
Ulaganathan is embarrassed because his daughter married her cousin without his consent; he hopes Anbu will not do the same and makes him sign a document promising not to do so.
Every year, Ulaganthan is given the honour to raise the Indian flag on India's Independence Day.
When he tries to guide Ulaganathan into his house, the villagers pull on Williams, causing Ulaganthan to fall into some mud.
They all apologise and Ulaganthan welcomes them back into the village, promising to treat them with respect, and accepts Anbu's and Jessica's relationship.
