In today’s episode, the tension escalates as Mamta and Bhavna engage in a manipulative conversation that sets the stage for conflict. Mamta, with a seemingly sweet demeanor, requests Bhavna to fetch her bag so she can take her medicines before leaving. Bhavna, ever the supportive friend, readily agrees. However, Mamta has ulterior motives; she slyly suggests that Mukesh has feelings for her, claiming that their past engagement means he harbors romantic feelings. With a cunning smile, she asserts that while she considers herself a friend, Mukesh’s feelings are inappropriate.
Mamta continues her deceitful act, telling Bhavna that she has scolded Mukesh for getting too close, implying that his anger towards her is the reason he might lie about his feelings. Bhavna, protective of Mukesh, defends him vehemently, insisting that he views her as nothing more than a friend and respects her deeply. Mamta, however, skillfully twists the narrative, questioning Bhavna’s perception and planting seeds of doubt about Mukesh’s loyalty. She suggests that Mukesh’s affection is not genuine and encourages Bhavna to call him over to discuss the matter further.
As the plot thickens, Mamta takes it upon herself to summon Mukesh, instructing him to come to her room. Bhavna, confused by Mamta’s actions, questions why she would say such things about Mukesh. Mamta feigns innocence, claiming she doesn’t want Mukesh to misunderstand the situation. When Mukesh arrives, he is met with Mamta’s sudden hostility. She demands to know why he is so concerned about her well-being, suggesting that he should focus on Bhavna, who is pregnant with his child. Mukesh, bewildered by Mamta’s abrupt change in tone, asks for clarification.
Mamta accuses Mukesh of harboring feelings for her, claiming that he once confessed his love, which she believes is inappropriate considering his relationship with Bhavna. This accusation leaves Mukesh stunned, and he tries to defend himself, but Mamta’s words have already begun to affect Bhavna, who starts to feel dizzy and overwhelmed. Sensing the tension, Mukesh tells Mamta to back off and takes Bhavna away, leaving Mamta with a smirk, satisfied with the chaos she has sown.
Meanwhile, in a parallel storyline, Lakshmi confronts Rishi about their fractured relationship. She expresses her desire to explain the truth to him but fears he won’t believe her and will dismiss her words as lies. Rishi interrupts her, insisting that she should apologize for her mistakes instead of lecturing him. Lakshmi, in pain, pleads with him to let go of her hand, revealing her hurt. Rishi, cold and unyielding, claims he is no longer affected by her pain and accuses her of being a criminal for her actions.
Lakshmi, feeling cornered, laments that she should return to the police station instead of trying to clarify her situation with him. She regrets not being able to explain herself and feels that she should change to match his new attitude. Rishi, still angry, calls her a culprit for accepting her crime, dismissing her claims that she had refused to commit it in court.
In another part of the house, Kiran speaks with Malishka about the threat posed by Shalu, who is attempting to tarnish Malishka’s reputation. Malishka, worried about Shalu’s challenge to expose their truth, reveals something shocking to Kiran: Lakshmi has escaped from jail and is currently in the Oberoi mansion, specifically in Rishi’s room. This revelation sends Kiran into a panic, leading her to suggest they should call the police to apprehend Lakshmi. Malishka, expressing her frustration, mentions that she informed Aanchal of Lakshmi’s presence, but Aanchal has taken no action.
As the tension mounts, Mukesh tries to reassure Bhavna of his feelings, insisting that he loves her deeply. However, Bhavna, still shaken by Mamta’s words, refuses to engage with him. Kiran, still focused on Lakshmi, expresses her concern that Shalu is unaware of the situation. Malishka, feeling the pressure, admits that she has invested years in the Oberoi family and cannot abandon her ties, even though she has no emotional attachment to her unborn child—she views it merely as a means to get closer to Rishi and solidify her place in the family.
As the episode unfolds, Shalu contemplates her next move to expose Kiran and Malishka while also seeking to help Lakshmi. She approaches Bhavna, who sympathizes with Lakshmi and offers her assistance, expressing a desire to repay Lakshmi for her kindness. Shalu is heartened by Bhavna’s support and feels encouraged to fight for Lakshmi’s innocence.
Meanwhile, Aanchal overhears their conversation and becomes intrigued by Shalu’s claims about Lakshmi. She realizes that there may be more to the story than she initially thought and is determined to uncover the truth behind Lakshmi’s confession.
In a separate confrontation, Mukesh confronts Mamta, furious about her manipulation of Bhavna’s feelings. Mamta, unfazed, maintains that she is merely pointing out the weaknesses in Mukesh and Bhavna’s relationship. She threatens to tell Bhavna lies about Mukesh if he doesn’t comply with her demands, leaving Mukesh feeling ashamed and frustrated.
Later, Aanchal meets with a detective named Neha, who owes her a favor. Aanchal confides in Neha about her suspicions regarding Neelam’s murder, believing it to be the work of a family member. She asks Neha to keep this investigation discreet and suggests that Neha disguise herself as a servant to gather information within the family. Aanchal is willing to do whatever it takes to find the truth and bring justice for Neelam.
The episode concludes with multiple storylines intertwining, each character facing their own dilemmas and conflicts. As the stakes rise, viewers are left eager to see how these developments will unfold and what consequences will arise from Mamta’s manipulations, Lakshmi’s predicament, and Aanchal’s quest for justice.
