The episode begins with a sense of anticipation as the decorator informs Mallika that she has set the timer for thirty seconds. Handing her a small remote, the decorator explains its purpose: when activated, it will trigger a series of events that Mallika has meticulously planned. As she takes the remote, a determined look crosses her face; Mallika contemplates the gravity of the moment, thinking about how she will soon say goodbye to Mannat, the girl she views as a major obstacle to her happiness.
On the stage, Mannat is caught up in the joy of dancing, her spirit seemingly unbreakable despite the looming danger. However, her attention is diverted when she notices Aishwarya making her way to her room, a sight that raises her suspicions. Following closely behind Aishwarya is Gagan, who appears intent on keeping an eye on her. Mallika watches the scene unfold, her thoughts darkening as she believes that Mannat’s time is running out—she thinks to herself that Mannat will die in just a few minutes if her plan goes unchecked.
In her room, Aishwarya is busy packing money into a bag, her movements quick and purposeful. She sends a message to Ravinder, instructing him to bring the goons to the venue, a clear indication that something sinister is about to unfold. Gagan, still tailing Aishwarya, thinks that she is preparing to leave, deciding he will follow her once Mannat’s performance is over. Meanwhile, Mannat feels a sense of urgency; she knows she cannot follow Aishwarya directly. In a moment of desperation, she prays to God, hoping for some divine intervention to stop Aishwarya from carrying out her plans.
Anu, a friend of Mannat’s, encourages Mallika to join Mannat on stage for a dance, sensing that the atmosphere should be festive. Mallika, however, feigns disinterest, claiming that Mannat is about to perform her main dance move and that she will join in later. As the music swells, Vikrant, another character who has been watching from the sidelines, approaches Mannat. Mallika feels a pang of anxiety at this interaction, worried that Vikrant’s presence might disrupt her carefully laid plans.
As the performance continues, Vikrant suddenly notices a short circuit occurring near the stage. Realizing the imminent danger, he rushes towards Mannat, determined to save her from the potential disaster. In a shocking turn of events, the stage erupts into flames, sending shockwaves through the audience. Aishwarya, aware of the chaos, quickly hides the money she had been packing and rushes to assess the situation, her earlier intentions now overshadowed by the unfolding crisis.
Vikrant, in a heroic effort, manages to pull Mannat away from the flames, but in doing so, he sustains burns on his hands. As he carries her to safety, the crowd watches in horror, their shock palpable. Neetu, another character who has been observing the chaos, expresses her concern for Vikrant, noting the wounds on his hands. Despite her worry, Vikrant brushes off her concern, focused solely on ensuring Mannat is okay. He carries her away from the scene, ignoring the stunned onlookers.
Mannat, coming back to her senses, acknowledges Vikrant’s efforts, referring to him as “Babaji’s banda,” a term of endearment that signifies her gratitude. Even though she has fainted from the shock, she reassures him that she is alright, but Vikrant insists that if she were truly fine, he would not have been so frantic to save her. In a tender moment, they share a connection, and Mannat notices the mehandi on her hand, which bears the letter “V,” a symbol of Vikrant’s affection. She expresses concern that it is not a good omen, but Vikrant counters her worries, suggesting that the letter is a positive sign for him.
Meanwhile, Raveena approaches Mallika, visibly upset about her mehandi being ruined in the chaos. She declares it a bad omen, further intensifying the already charged atmosphere. Neetu, seizing the moment, reminds Mallika that she had warned her about inviting Mannat, suggesting that Mannat is a source of bad luck. Roni, another character, intervenes, defending Mannat and insisting that there are more pressing issues at hand, hinting that someone may have orchestrated the disaster intentionally. Gagan agrees with Roni, sensing the tension and the potential for deeper conspiracy.
Mallika, feigning fear and disappointment, creates a scene, lamenting how everything is going wrong with her wedding rituals. Aishwarya, feeling overwhelmed, announces that she needs to step outside for some fresh air, a move that pleases Gagan as he watches her discomfort with satisfaction.
Amidst the chaos, Mannat notices Vikrant’s injury and takes it upon herself to apply haldi to his wound, a gesture of care and concern. When Vikrant questions her about her tears, she struggles to articulate her feelings. Despite her best efforts to maintain composure, she admits that she cares for him, a moment that reveals the depth of her emotions. However, she quickly pushes him away, trying to mask her vulnerability. Vikrant, sensing that she is hiding her true feelings, resolves to confess his love to her once she fully accepts her own emotions.
As the episode draws to a close, Mannat’s anxiety heightens as she worries about Gagan catching up to Aishwarya, fearing the consequences of their actions. The tension in the air is thick, setting the stage for further developments in the intricate relationships among the characters.
