He manages to fool them by narrating the story of Kaveri, his lover who landed in a comatose state because of him (inspired by 50 First Dates).

Before leaving, his mother reveals that Vishwanath wished to marry Kaveri to Rishi and knowing that Vijay's presence is a possible threat to this decision and also to consolidate their friendship Amar uses the fight as an opportunity to banish Vijay.
