– The “Cooking Challenge.” Each couple must make a traditional Undhiyu . Kavya burns the surti papdi . Rohan, who secretly loves cooking, gently guides her. For one minute, they forget the cameras. He tells her about his failed engagement. She tells him about her father who left when she was ten. “He chose his secretary over his family,” she says. “I choose my career over everything.” Rohan says, “What if you don’t have to choose?” A moment of silence.
