The episode begins with Leena assuring her family that Neil will marry only the person she selects for him. She instructs Neil to distance himself from Mohit’s family and announces her intention to call the Chavan family to finalize the wedding date. Vinod questions Neil about his feelings regarding this decision. Leena interjects, asserting that there’s no need for Neil’s opinion since any decision she makes is in his best interest. Frustrated, Neil responds that voicing his thoughts is pointless if they are disregarded, and he leaves. Leena dismisses his reaction, claiming he has no objections.
The scene shifts to the Chavan family, who are performing a Pooja to honor Mohit’s memory. The Pandit calls for Mohit’s wife and children to come forward for participation.
Mukta steps up, but Lakshmi halts her, clarifying that the Pandit was referring to her, not Mukta. Lakshmi harshly reminds Mukta that neither society, the law, nor the household recognizes her marriage to Mohit. Mukta pleads with Lakshmi to allow her to join the Pooja, insisting that she is legitimately married to Mohit, with the sacred fire as a witness. Lakshmi scoffs at this, questioning Mukta’s audacity in thinking she would let the woman who disrupted her marriage participate in the ceremony.
Lakshmi warns the Chavan family that if Mukta is allowed to take part, she will claim the property inherited after Mohit’s death and return to her maternal home. Omi comments on Lakshmi’s reaction. Mukta reassures Lakshmi that she has no interest in Mohit’s property and begs to join the Pooja. Aditi also urges Lakshmi to reconsider, but Lakshmi stands firm. Teju supports Mukta and criticizes Lakshmi’s behavior, while Satish chastises Teju for interfering in elders’ matters. However, Teju refuses to be silent when her mother is insulted.
As Lakshmi and Aditi participate in the Pooja, Neil arrives at Chavan Niwas and mentions that he overheard someone objecting to Mukta’s participation in the ritual. Lakshmi admits to having an issue and makes a snide remark. Neil then informs the Chavan family of his wish to take Mukta and her children to perform the Pooja at a nearby temple. Though Satish disagrees, Omi permits the idea, allowing Neil to leave with Mukta and her children.
Episode ends.
