Quotes 

• Sunil Kohli : What are you thinking?

  Sonia Kohli : I'm wondering why so many people under this roof have stories about their pasts. Did they pen them by themselves? If not, why am I being punished like this?

  Sunil Kohli : It's done. I'm free now.

  Sonia Kohli : You're not free. You gave your name to Pinky and Chandni; you gave them honour. She helped you out. Now you want to disgrace her?

  Sunil Kohli : But I love you, Sonia!

  Sonia Kohli : So where will you take me? The police know you're alive. They'll snatch you away. I don't want to be widowed again!

  Sunil Kohli : I don't want to lose you either. But if you want me to remain here, you must stay as well.

• Inspector Singh : [pointing at Sonia]  This woman is Sunil's wife!

  Sonia Kohli : The police may be fooled, and the law may be fooled, but a wife can't be. My husband died five years ago. I am a widow.

  Sunil Kohli : Stop! You're not a widow, you're a wife, and I'm alive. I received the sentence, but you endured the punishment... Today, before everyone, I'll say that I am Sunil Kohli and you are my wife. I was innocent then and I'm innocent now. And if to save your wife is a crime, then they can hang me for it!
