The episode, titled “The Lion’s Roar,” focuses on the physical and emotional showdown between Jatt’s sincerity and Aryan’s manipulation.
The Dangal (The Wrestling Match)
The episode begins with the second task of the challenge: a traditional wrestling match in the village square. Jatt enters the pit with his body smeared in the soil of his ancestors. Aryan, knowing he cannot win fairly, brings in a “body double”—a professional wrestler from the city—claiming the rules didn’t specify the groom had to fight personally, only that his “side” had to win. The village elders are outraged, but Jatt silences them, saying he will take on whoever Aryan puts in front of him.
Juliet’s Discovery
While the village is distracted by the match, Juliet sneaks into Aryan’s guest room at the Haveli. She finds his laptop unlocked and discovers a series of emails. The truth is shocking: Aryan isn’t here to save her father’s business; he is the secret investor who systematically leaked her father’s trade secrets to rivals to drive the company toward bankruptcy. His plan was to “save” the company through marriage, effectively taking control of the Khurana empire for pennies.
The Fight of Life
Back in the pit, the professional wrestler is brutalizing Jatt. However, Jatt remembers his grandfather’s advice: “A Jatt doesn’t fight with his muscles; he fights with the weight of his land.” In a sudden surge of strength, Jatt uses a classic lock-and-throw move, pinning the professional wrestler to the ground. The crowd erupts in cheers as Jatt stands victorious, his eyes fixed on a stunned Aryan.
The Public Exposure
Just as Aryan tries to claim the match was “unsanitary” and therefore invalid, Juliet marches into the center of the ring. She doesn’t scream; she simply turns the laptop screen toward her father and the village council. She reveals the documents proving Aryan’s fraud. Mr. Khurana is shattered, realizing he almost sold his daughter to the man who ruined him.
