The episode begins with a drunken Yuvraj insisting to Padma that she must testify in court, claiming he has done nothing wrong and that Anjali’s accusations are baseless. Confused, Padma asks what she should say if the judge inquires about the circumstances of their marriage. Yuvraj dismissively states that their marriage was never real — everything was just an act. He even tells Anjali that the sindhur he applied to her forehead was merely a cheap color they purchased from a thieves market. Feeling overwhelmed, Yuvraj eventually drifts off to sleep.
Reflecting on the situation, Padma feels relieved that her marriage to Yuvraj didn’t materialize, freeing her from the burden of protecting him and his family.
Stepping out of the house, Padma hands a recording she made to Anjali. Anjali, surprised, tells Padma that she should leave. Padma kneels before Anjali, apologizing for her previous betrayal and admitting she was misled by lies. Anjali accepts her apology and tells her to go, which Padma agrees to do.
Meanwhile, the security guards on duty check on an unusual disturbance. Anjali confronts and retaliates against Chandraman’s security, taking control of the situation.
In the midst of all this, Kavya walks past Yuvraj’s open room door and enters, noting that Padma is nowhere to be found. She attempts to wake Yuvraj, but realizes he is heavily intoxicated. Calling for Padma, she is soon joined by her. Kavya questions Padma about her presence in Yuvraj’s room, but Padma claims she was using the bathroom. Kavya points out the room has an attached bathroom, to which Padma responds that she preferred the downstairs restroom since she had never used such a luxurious bathroom before. Kavya, suspicious, warns Padma not to pull any tricks. Padma makes a comment in response while Kavya leaves, instructing her to stay with Yuvraj.
Feeling conflicted, Padma stares at herself in the mirror and despises having to stay in that room with Yuvraj. In a moment of defiance, she wipes off the sindhur from her hairline.
Later, Aman approaches Anjali with a bouquet of roses, but she doesn’t accept it. He then offers her a bouquet of lotuses and still receives no acceptance. Finally, he presents her with a box of chocolates, but as Anjali is about to stumble, Aman catches her just in time.
The episode concludes with tension lingering in the air.
**Precap:** Anjali confronts Pavan, questioning where he acquired a substantial amount of money in connection with the police. Pavan reveals that Chandraman gave him the money to arrange Padma and Yuvraj’s marriage.
