Having thought for a long while, he is ready with his plan. He calls Juliet and orders her to bring a mirror.

She is obviously surprised because she does not know what he is going to do with a mirror, however, she brings him a mirror.

He takes the mirror in his hand and says to her, "I don't think you ever look your face in the mirror."

"No, Sir, I look myself in the mirror every day," she gives a shy smile.

"You...I mean a woman like you..."

He deliberately leaves his sentence incomplete.

"Sir, I understand the term a woman like me. I know what you are thinking, but I see my face in the mirror. I look myself in the mirror every day to remind myself that my behaviour should never be as ugly as my face. I keep reminding myself," she says and walks out of the room.

For Dharamji it is the worst defeat. He is almost shattered and he does not know how to react or what to do. He feels as if Juliet has shattered the mirror and he is struggling to find himself in those broken pieces of the mirror.
