In today’s episode, Gautam inquires with Parag about the plans to open the Mumbai showroom after the wedding. Anil nudges Prem to discuss the wedding details, but Prem brushes it off, claiming he’s running late. Parag mocks Prem’s urgency, suggesting he’s not the one to worry about financial losses. Prem retorts that he can read lips, raising Anil’s hopes that he will return soon.
As Prem navigates the house, he runs into Ansh, who is taken aback by Prem’s presence. Parag lightheartedly remarks that Prem doesn’t seem to be in a hurry anymore. Ansh then approaches Gautam and Parag to talk about his job application. He reassures Parag that he applied to the company before learning about Prem and insists on keeping his professional and personal lives distinct. Gautam praises Ansh’s talent, and Parag ultimately decides to hire him. Shortly after, Khyati and Prathana meet Ansh, with Khyati offering him tea or coffee. However, Baa expresses her disapproval of Parag hiring Ansh, insisting that she wants to avoid any further connections with Anupama’s family. Parag counters her objection, highlighting Ansh’s skills.
Meanwhile, Prem discovers that Baa has been feigning illness to prevent him from leaving the house. Confronting Baa, Parag argues that her actions are inappropriate. Baa reveals that she cannot bear to see Prem living with them. Upset by Vasundhara’s betrayal, Prem wrestles with his emotions, contemplating why everyone seems to toy with his feelings. He resolves to distance himself from Rahi after their marriage.
Later, Prem calls Rahi to inform her of his decision to separate after they tie the knot. Parag learns that Prem plans to gift Rahi a flat. When Rahi questions Prem about his abrupt change in attitude, he confides that Baa’s betrayal has hurt him deeply. Rahi attempts to help him see Baa’s perspective, asking why he harbors such resentment toward Parag. Prem reveals a painful truth: that Parag’s actions led to his mother’s suicide due to the depression stemming from their tumultuous relationship. He explains how he was too young to grasp the affair between Parag and Khyati while growing up, and that these experiences drove his mother to take her own life. Rahi is left reeling from his revelations. Determined not to live with the Kotharis, Prem urges Rahi to keep their future plans under wraps, envisioning a life apart after they marry.
At the Kothari household, Baa takes initiative to organize Prem’s room and plans to contact a decorator. Khyati insists that Baa should consult Rahi about her upcoming wedding wishes, but Baa dismisses that idea, believing Rahi wishes to be dependent on Prem after marrying him. Parag notes that Prem intends to keep his distance from Rahi, leading Baa to blame Anupama and Rahi for influencing his choice. Parag argues that it is Anupama and Rahi who wish to separate Prem from the family.
**Precap:** The Kotharis and the Shahs gather for a ritual, but Baa mentions that Rahi’s father is absent and Hasmuk will take his place. Anupama steps forward, offering to perform the ritual in Anuj’s stead.
