The episode begins with the host announcing the first group performance, followed by a special solo performance. After the group performance concludes, the host invites Priyanshi to the stage. Jhanak wishes her the best of luck, and Priyanshi assures her that she will never forget her support as she heads to perform. The audience applauds her dance, and the teacher informs Jhanak that the students must remain until the results are announced.
Meanwhile, Ketki is searching for Jhanak, asking Sejal if she has seen her. Sejal hasn’t, but Prachi mentions that Jhanak went to help Priyanshi get ready. Ketki expresses her disappointment to Mehek about Jhanak taking on that responsibility, while Mehek explains she was watering the plants on the terrace. Ketki stresses the importance of treating their guests well, noting that even though the young man is from a village, he lives in Delhi and shouldn’t see Priyanshi as just a village girl.
At the school, Jhanak reassures Priyanshi that the results will be announced soon. Priyanshi expresses doubt about qualifying for the inter-school competition, but Jhanak encourages her, insisting that she danced beautifully. Priyanshi, however, is concerned Ketki may be looking for her. Jhanak assures her that Vihaan will handle the situation.
Back at home, Ketki scolds Sejal for not completing her chores, suspecting she has been lazy. Sejal points out that Jhanak hasn’t been in the kitchen all morning. Prachi explains that Jhanak is busy helping Priyanshi learn proper etiquette for the guests. Ketki instructs Prachi to keep a close eye on Jhanak. Vihaan intervenes, stating that Jhanak performed all the rituals and questions Ketki’s continued anger towards her. As Ketki and Sejal head inside, Prachi confides in Vihaan that she is feeling overwhelmed. He reassures her that Jhanak and Priyanshi will return soon.
The host announces that Priyanshi has qualified for the inter-school competition, and she receives a trophy. The teacher introduces Priyanshi to the judge, who advises her to focus on her studies and career instead of marriage. The teacher echoes this sentiment, taking the judge away while Jhanak and Priyanshi leave the stage.
Pulkit’s family arrives at Ketki’s house, and Ketki introduces them. Pulkit’s mother inquires if Priyanshi is prepared, and Babuji asks whether she intends to live in the city with Pulkit after marriage. Susheela responds that Priyanshi will remain with them in the village and inquires if she knows how to manage household chores. Ketki assures them that she has taught Priyanshi well. Conversations about Priyanshi’s studies ensue, and Vihaan probes Pulkit about his job.
Prachi expresses her concerns to Mehek about the unfolding situation. Susheela asks Ketki to call for Priyanshi, prompting Ketki to ask Prachi to fetch her. As Prachi heads upstairs with Mehek, Sejal arrives, questioning Priyanshi’s whereabouts. Prachi believes Priyanshi is with Jhanak, but Sejal points out that Jhanak is also missing. Sejal declares her intent to expose Jhanak for going against Ketki’s wishes and leaves.
The priest reminds everyone that the auspicious time is running out. Susheela asks if Priyanshi is ready, and when Sejal reveals Priyanshi has gone to school with Jhanak, it creates tension. Mohan states that such things cannot happen in his household, while Vihaan confirms he is already aware of the situation. Prachi worries aloud to Mehek about being thrown out of the house and about Priyanshi’s safety.
Vihaan explains to Pulkit’s family about Priyanshi’s dance competition. Mohan asserts that the marriage cannot proceed under these circumstances. Praveen Kumar defends Jhanak, explaining she simply wanted to fulfill Priyanshi’s dreams. Ketki tells Vihaan that she will not tolerate Jhanak in her home. Pulkit praises both Priyanshi and Jhanak, expressing he wants to see Priyanshi before leaving.
Jhanak finally arrives with Priyanshi, apologizing to everyone and taking the blame for what happened. She proudly announces that Priyanshi has qualified for the inter-school competition. Pulkit expresses his admiration for Priyanshi, but Mohan insists they cannot delay the wedding any longer. Ketki thanks everyone for their support.
**Precap:** Jhanak questions Vihaan about whether he suspects her motives.
