Lakshmi also convinces Durgaprasad that 'she' is still waiting for 'her' husband. Jai, as Lakshmi, buys time by telling Durgaprasad that 'she' is married but 'her' husband has left 'her' and got converted into a Christian named Joseph. Meanwhile, Durgaprasad also falls for Lakshmi and goes to the extent of proposing to her. As if that is not enough, a struggler named Ratna (Ayesha Julka) tries to cozy up to Jai.
After he sees Lakshmi, Hari falls for her.
His landlord Hari (Paresh Rawal) is after him for his rent. Meanwhile, Jai has other problems in his own home. Jai learns that although Janki likes Lakshmi, who by now has earned the affectionate title of Chachi (a respected aunt), she still loathes Jai. Even Shiraz does not know that Lakshmi and Jai are the same person. Lakshmi introduces Shiraz to the Bhardwaj household as Pandit Shivraj Sharma, a mute Brahmin cook. Jai runs into his old friend Shiraz (Nassar), a Muslim restaurant chef who is now doing menial jobs as he lost his job trying to help Jai. Banwa has no other option but to let a male cook be appointed instead. Lakshmi also exposes the thefts committed by the maid in the Bhardwaj house. Later, Durgaprasad tells Lakshmi that he has changed his mind about the marriage on learning of Rohit's cowardice. One day, when Janki and Rohit get attacked by goons in the market, the doctor scampers. Meanwhile, Durgaprasad decides to get Janki remarried to Dr Rohit (Rajendranath Zutshi), her childhood friend. The reasons are various, such as Banwa's womanizing nature (which naturally views an old woman like Lakshmi with dislike) and his desire to siphon off Durgaprasad's money via friendly maids. Jai learns that Durgaprasad's secretary Banwarilal Pandit (Om Puri) is not exactly thrilled at Lakshmi's entry. Apart from Joseph, only Bharti (who sees through her father's disguise) knows the real identity of Lakshmi. Jai begins the job, but creates plausible stories so that his real work schedule does not clash with the job in Bhardwaj's home. Lakshmi gets the job and the respect of the Bhardwaj family. But Bharti has an accident, and Lakshmi acts promptly to give first aid. He goes to the interview, where he is generally viewed as the last pick. With the help of a drunkard makeup artist Joseph (Johnny Walker in his last and memorable role), Jai undergoes a complete transformation into Lakshmi Godbole, a dignified elderly Marathi woman. Impersonating a female, he introduces himself as 'Shrimati Lakshmi Godbole' and applies for the position. Jai sees this as an opportunity and calls Durgaprasad. Meanwhile, Durgaprasad puts ads in local newspapers for a nanny for Bharti. But when he sneaks into the Bhardwaj house to steal Bharti, he loses visitation rights. Jai is allowed to meet his beloved daughter Bharti (Baby Sana) once a week. Other differences crop up between the couple and Janki walks out. However, Janki buckles under the pressure of a middle-class life. The duo fell in love and married against the will of Durgaprasad. Jaiprakash, a Hindu Dusadh, is an assistant dance director in films. Janaki is the only daughter of Durgaprasad Bhardwaj (Amrish Puri), a staunch Hindu Brahmin businessman. Jai (Kamal Haasan) and Janki Paswan (Tabu) are fighting a divorce case.
