The episode opens with chaos reigniting in the Deshmukh household. Sachin reveals that he was aware of Chandu’s questionable character, having heard about him from Sayali, but he never had the chance to take action. Roshni is furious, feeling humiliated that neither Sachin nor Sayali informed the rest of the family about him.
Tensions rise as Renuka publicly disrespects Sayali, casting doubt on whether there was an inappropriate relationship between Sayali and Chandu. She also accuses Sayali’s floral shop of being involved in illegal activities, further insulting Shobha in front of everyone, which leaves Shobha feeling faint. In a concerned effort, Sachin and Sayali escort Shobha back to her home.
Once there, Shobha advises Sayali to remain silent and not retaliate against Renuka. However, Sayali refuses to endure her mother-in-law’s disrespect any longer. Determined, she resolves to take action against Chandu, who has caused so much turmoil in their lives. Joohi is instructed to manage the shop the following day. Later that night, Sayali and Sachin return home, and Sachin expresses deep remorse for not recognizing Sayali’s distress, having been preoccupied with earning money for her mangalsutra. Though he insists she shouldn’t feel sorry for him, he feels ashamed of his previous negligence, vowing to seek vengeance against Chandu.
Suddenly, Sayali spots a stunning bag and asks Sachin about it. Upon opening it, she becomes overwhelmed with emotion, realizing just how hard Sachin worked for her sake. She praises him, recognizing him as a wonderful husband.
The next morning, Renuka strikes again, insulting Sayali as she prepares to open her shop. She orders Sayali to shut down the business, but this time, Sayali stands her ground, with Sachin backing her up. When Tejas suggests that they close the shop as well, Sachin reminds him of the difficult times he faced when he was unemployed.
In a surprising turn, Riya joins Sayali’s defense, stating that while there will always be deceitful men, living in fear is not the answer; it’s imperative to confront them instead. Sayali boldly challenges her mother-in-law, declaring her determination to run her business.
**Precap:** Sachin confronts the crooked Chandu, ready to take matters into his own hands, and Sayali is astonished to see him fulfill his promise.
