Karan : to Mar jaaye, I don't care.

Preeta : (loudly) Karan, agar tum use nahi chode na, to Mai abhi isi wakt yeh ghar chod Kar chali jaaungi.

Karan was about to give him a punch but stop listening preeta's words. He immediately leave prithvi's collar, drop prithvi on floor and went towards preeta.
