The episode opens with Sakhi enthusiastically presenting Jhanak with a saree in her favorite color, expressing her belief that it will look stunning on her. However, the moment is interrupted when Jhanak notices Nutan in tears. Concerned, Jhanak approaches Nutan and gently reminds her that they are participating in a film-themed wedding. Sakhi interjects, emphasizing that this day wouldn’t have come to pass if Aniruddh hadn’t abandoned Nutan on that fateful day. She urges Jhanak to recognize that this is a genuine wedding, not just a cinematic fantasy. Jhanak, feeling trapped in her circumstances, replies that she is going through with this out of helplessness, thus rendering it devoid of the essence of a true wedding.
Sakhi then encourages Jhanak to try to earn Rishi’s trust, suggesting that once Jhanak acknowledges the reality of their situation, she can begin to build a genuine connection with him. Nutan, still distressed, expresses her fears about living without Jhanak. In a soothing tone, Jhanak reassures Nutan, urging her to calm down and not to worry, insisting that nothing bad will happen to her. Bua, impatient with the ongoing emotional turmoil, instructs Jhanak’s friends to hurry up and prepare Jhanak for the ceremony.
As time passes, Nutan reminisces about her own wedding to Aniruddh in the picturesque setting of Srinagar. Just then, Jhanak enters the scene, followed closely by Rishi. The atmosphere shifts as they begin to perform the marriage rituals. Jhanak shares a warm smile with Rishi, who is suddenly reminded of Aditi’s words about how he might forget her once he falls in love with a village girl. In a significant moment, he applies vermilion to Jhanak’s forehead, symbolizing their union.
Later, the villagers offer Rishi advice, urging him to take good care of Jhanak. Nutan embraces Jhanak tightly, filled with emotion. Sakhi tries to comfort Nutan, assuring her that Rishi will ensure Jhanak’s happiness. However, Nutan’s worries resurface as she questions why they are going through with this wedding when Rishi is already engaged to someone else. She tearfully wonders if Rishi will genuinely accept Jhanak into his heart. Rishi, frustrated, tells Nutan to stop creating drama, pointing out that the villagers believe she sent Jhanak with him, implying that Nutan shares some responsibility for the situation. He expresses his frustration, claiming that their actions have ruined his life and declares that he can no longer remain there.
Bua interjects, stating that Jhanak will accompany Rishi. Rishi demands his bag and phone from Dhamu, seemingly eager to leave. Jhanak comforts Nutan, promising that she will miss her dearly. Nutan, still anxious, implores Rishi to look after Jhanak, noting that while Jhanak may be angry like him, she won’t voice her feelings. Ignoring her, Rishi insists on getting his belongings and departs with Jhanak in the car.
As they drive, Jhanak attempts to explain to Rishi that their wedding feels more like a movie plot than reality. Rishi, however, brushes her off, telling her to be quiet. She tries to lighten the mood by discussing a film she recently watched, but Rishi remains unresponsive, insisting he doesn’t feel like talking. He tells her to converse with the driver instead. Despite Jhanak’s protests that his bad mood doesn’t mean she has to be unhappy, she admits to feeling hungry. Rishi, irritated, instructs the driver to speed up but soon spots a roadside dhaba and orders the driver to stop.
Meanwhile, Ishani is anxiously waiting for Pihu outside a restaurant, sitting in a car. Jeet, with Pihu by his side, asks her what she would like to drink. Pihu declines, but Jeet insists on having her company. After some persuasion, she agrees. Jeet then mentions his plan to take her to his farmhouse after dinner and says he will discuss things with Pralay. Pihu, feeling emboldened by the moment, agrees to go along. She shares with Jeet how Ishani tried to prevent her from going out, but they continue to enjoy their time together, drinking and laughing. Pihu expresses her appreciation for Jeet, saying he is a genuinely good person, as he feeds her and encourages her to drink more.
Back at the car, the driver asks Ishani how long they are expected to wait. Ishani, determined, replies that she will remain there until Pihu comes out. Jeet continues to charm Pihu, telling her about a beautiful room in his farmhouse that overlooks a waterfall. Pihu, feeling drowsy from the drinks, suggests they should head home, but Jeet tells her that if she’s sleepy, she can just stay there. Pihu then requests him to call her father, but Jeet, intent on keeping her there, encourages her to drink even more.
Suddenly, Ishani spots Jeet with Pihu and instructs the driver to follow them. Jeet drives Pihu to his farmhouse, where he orders Ramesh to bring snacks and some special scotch. Pihu, still hesitant, insists that she should go home. Jeet, however, tries to convince her to stay, suggesting that she can sleep there if she’s tired. Pihu, feeling the effects of the alcohol, becomes increasingly disoriented and asks Jeet to call her father. Instead, Jeet continues to pressure her to drink more.
At the same time, Pralay arrives home and inquires about Ishani’s whereabouts. Raj didi informs him that she has no idea where Ishani is but mentions that Ishani had attempted to stop Pihu from going out with Jeet. She expresses her frustration, recounting how Ishani insulted her by claiming she hadn’t taught the children proper values. Pralay, concerned, decides he needs to speak with Ishani.
As the situation unfolds, Ishani confronts Jeet, demanding Pihu come home with her. Jeet, feeling threatened, warns Ishani that he can ruin her life, but she stands firm, unafraid of his threats. She challenges him, questioning how he can treat Pihu this way when she is the same age as his daughter. Jeet, unfazed, retorts that Ishani is powerless to stop him.
