The episode opens with Satish urging Sonali to accept Mukta and her children, warning that rejecting them would lead to societal disgrace. Sonali’s husband supports this notion, expressing his desire to avoid any drama in front of outsiders. Lakshmi counters, asserting that true drama would ensue if Mukta and her children were allowed in the house.
Lakshmi confronts Mukta, accusing her of shamelessly interfering in another woman’s marriage and showing up after her actions. Mukta begs Lakshmi to trust her, insisting she was unaware of Mohit’s marriage, but Lakshmi harshly dismisses her plea.
Deepali interjects, defending Mukta and her children by stating they genuinely did not know about Mohit’s situation. Lakshmi reacts dismissively, while Sonali’s husband chimes in, telling Lakshmi to stop and criticizing her for failing to keep Mohit happy. This leads to an argument, with Sonali’s husband telling Lakshmi to leave if she disapproves of their decision. Lakshmi refuses, reminding him that it was his family who chose her for Mohit.
Determined, Lakshmi asserts that she won’t allow anyone to take away her rights or her daughter’s. Satish reassures her, stating that no rights are being stolen and emphasizing that she will always be Mohit’s wife. He explains that rejecting Mukta and her children could lead to damaging gossip about their family. Sonali reluctantly agrees, acknowledging that while she does not want to accept Mukta, doing so is essential to maintain their family’s reputation. Lakshmi remains resentful, making another cutting remark.
Aditi approaches Tejaswini and Mukta, advising them not to take Lakshmi’s harsh words to heart. She kindly asks Teju for her name, to which Teju responds, introducing herself as Tejaswini. Aditi offers her comfort, but Lakshmi lashes out at Aditi, labeling her as foolish. Aditi cheerfully admits it, affirming that Mohit loves her just the way she is. She then welcomes Mukta and Tejaswini into the house, showing her acceptance.
Meanwhile, Neil visits Mohit’s house and discovers that his family has gone to Nagpur. He leaves his card with them, requesting to be updated if there are any developments regarding Mohit’s family.
Upon returning home, Neil informs his family that he missed the chance to meet Mohit’s family since they had already left. Leena reminds Neil to prepare for a meeting with a prospective bride. Neil pulls Leena aside, expressing his desire to cancel their plans for the day.
**Preview:** Neil confides in Nandini that he feels irritated just hearing the word “marriage.” Aman inquires whether Neil intends to accompany them to see the bride. Lakshmi warns Teju that if she wants to stay in the house, she will need to take over all household chores from this point on.
