In today’s engaging episode, the atmosphere is filled with anticipation as Abhira, along with her friends Aliya, Lavanya, Priyanshu, Riyan, and Arman, gather to enjoy the traditional pre-festival meal known as sargi. This meal is significant as it sets the tone for the fast that many will observe later in the day. As they indulge in the delicious food, Aliya’s attention is drawn to a bill displayed on Priyanshu’s phone. Curiosity piqued, she confronts him about it, but Priyanshu skillfully dodges her inquiries, leaving her suspicious and confused.
Amidst the chatter, Abhira expresses her confidence that Arman will uphold the tradition of fasting as he always does. She playfully insists that he should eat kheer, a sweet dish, instead. In a moment of vulnerability, Abhira reveals that she won’t be observing the fast this time, hoping to convince Arman to do the same. However, Arman, with a look of disbelief, refuses to accept her claim, convinced that she will ultimately keep the fast.
Excitement bubbles over as Aliya shares her thrilling news with Abhira and Lavanya: she believes that Priyanshu is about to propose to her. Her intuition stems from seeing him purchase a gold ring and a beautiful sari, which she interprets as clear signs of his intentions. Meanwhile, Riyan, feeling frustrated with his love life, declares that he is done waiting for romance to find him and decides to create a profile on a dating app. Abhira, however, dismisses the idea as foolish, arguing that true love cannot be found through such platforms. To her surprise, Arman comes to Riyan’s defense, suggesting that dating apps can indeed lead to meaningful connections.
Riyan then turns to Abhira, asking for her help in getting some food, but the conversation quickly shifts back to Abhira’s fasting intentions. Arman, still puzzled, questions whether Abhira is genuinely not fasting, mistakenly interpreting her decision as a rejection of their bond.
Later on, Aliya probes Priyanshu about his plans for after the fast. He casually mentions that he will break her fast and then head off for an important presentation. However, Aliya’s instincts kick in, and she begins to suspect that Priyanshu might be involved with another girl. In a bid to uncover the truth, she resolves to create an account on a dating app to keep tabs on him. Abhira tries to intervene, urging her not to use her phone for such things, but Aliya remains adamant.
In a bid to provoke jealousy in Abhira, Arman casually mentions that he has also created a dating app account and claims to have found several suitable matches. This revelation makes Abhira visibly restless, unsure of how to respond. In the midst of their playful banter, an accidental exchange of their phones occurs, further complicating the situation.
Meanwhile, Kaveri takes a moment to compliment her friends Vidya, Kajal, Tanya, and Manisha on their beautiful appearances. Sanjay praises Kajal, leading to a round of cheers from the group. Just then, Abhir interrupts, announcing that he has come to return Myra’s sports shoes. Tanya quickly suggests that Kiara take Abhir to Myra’s room, ensuring he doesn’t linger.
Back with Abhira and Arman, they both realize that their phones have been swapped. Riyan, eager to satisfy his curiosity, insists that Arman check Abhira’s phone, but Priyanshu interjects, claiming that it would be inappropriate. Arman finds himself torn, unsure whether to respect Abhira’s privacy or give in to temptation, while Abhira feels equally conflicted about the situation.
As tensions rise, Vidya points out that Tanya has forgotten to bring the vermillion needed for the puja, criticizing her for the oversight. Kajal quickly defends Tanya, arguing that everyone makes mistakes and that Tanya will learn from this experience. Vidya, however, is unyielding, asserting that the house does not belong to the Bansals, implying that Tanya will never be able to carry on the Poddar legacy. This comment strikes a nerve, and Kaveri urges Vidya to stop dredging up the past, but Vidya stands firm, insisting that her perspective is valid. The conversation leaves Kajal, Sanjay, Krish, and Tanya in a state of shock.
As the episode progresses, Abhira and Arman come to a mutual decision to return each other’s phones, hoping to resolve the confusion.
**Precap:** In a heated exchange, Abhira accuses Arman of invading her privacy by checking her phone and doubting her intentions like he has in the past. She asserts that nothing will ever change between them, emphasizing her resolve. While munching on an apple, she reiterates that she is not fasting, leaving Arman in stunned disbelief.
