One day he gets into a fight with a man who works for a criminal named Anthony and beats him up. Anthony warns him not to cross paths with him. One day while Rocky is with his girlfriend Neha, he sends Anthony's brother to the hospital. When Anthony finds out, he confronts Rocky and Neha and kills Neha and mocks Rocky. An angered Rocky loses control of himself, making his family turn him away. Anthony threatens Rocky's family to leave Mumbai. The family along with Rocky eventually moves to London. There he tries to forget his past life. His father lied to him that Anthony has been sentenced to death by the court. Three months later, Rocky's friend, Vikram Singh, visits to inform them of the progress of the criminal prosecution of Anthony. There Priya, a tour guide and Rocky's friend, is harassed by some people. When she shouted to Rocky for help, he unlike before, took a conservative path and walks away. Vikram tells Priya the truth about Rocky. The way he was living, why he's always quiet. Thereby Vikram tells him that Anthony has escaped the trial by killing both the eyewitnesses.
