Malishka confronts Mamta, revealing a fierce determination to help her win Mukesh’s affection, asserting that their personal histories share a common thread. She boldly declares her intention to disrupt Bhavna and Mukesh’s relationship by any means necessary, earning Mamta’s deep gratitude. Malishka also shares her observations about Rishi’s seemingly annoyed but undeniably caring demeanor toward Lakshmi. This attentiveness enrages Malishka, who then storms off to confront Rishi directly.
Simultaneously, Aanchal confronts Mamta, accusing her of jealousy towards Bhavna. Mamta, however, mocks Aanchal and dismisses her, advising her to rest, which quickly escalates into a heated argument. Bhavna then arrives, and Mamta announces her imminent departure for her village, asking Bhavna not to misinterpret her intentions.
Elsewhere, Rishi confesses to Lakshmi his regret over leaving Neelam for her, expressing that he feels foolish for having turned against his own family. Meanwhile, Shalu discovers an upset Aanchal and attempts to console her, defending Lakshmi’s innocence and asserting Lakshmi’s genuine affection for Virender, whom she loved like a father. Aanchal, however, blames Lakshmi for Neelam’s troubles. In a shocking revelation, Shalu finally discloses that Malishka’s child is not Rishi’s, accusing Malishka of betraying him. This startling claim is overheard by Kiran, who becomes visibly worried.
Back with Rishi and Lakshmi, Rishi notices Lakshmi feeling cold and closes the window to shield her, clearly demonstrating his concern. Mukesh, while preparing a tiffin for Mamta’s departure, reflects on his happiness with Bhavna and the complex relationships within the Oberoi household. He shares his belief in fate and his longing for Neelam. Mamta then directly asks Mukesh if he still loves her, leaving him stunned.
The tension in the house continues as Aanchal angrily dismisses Shalu’s claims about Malishka and her child, while Shalu vehemently insists she is telling the truth. Kiran intervenes, defending Malishka and pointedly asking Shalu who was most affected by Rishi’s marriage to Lakshmi. The argument intensifies, with Shalu accusing Malishka of ruining Lakshmi’s life and Kiran threatening to silence her. The episode concludes with the household remaining tense, filled with unresolved secrets and escalating accusations.
