In the end, it's revealed that Pranav has been tailing Jiya to get back Pranav's favourite car, a red modified Toyota Celica T200 Car. When Jiya takes the car, it meets with an accident, and she is saved by none other than Prince. Now, Pranav's car is with Prince. When a fight for the car occurs and Prince accidentally beats the car's rear fender with a crowbar, the car's inner body (inside car's paint layer) is painted with Illegal Gold, because the car actually belongs to Pranav's boss, a gold smuggler, and the vehicle is Pranav's boss' son's memory.
