The episode begins with Shlok telling Apollena that Ira’s actions stem from her love for him; she truly cares for him. Apollena struggles to understand this, as her own focus lies solely on her dreams, leaving little room for Shlok in her heart. Just then, Sarswati arrives with news that Rastogi wants to arrange an engagement for Shlok, with marriage to follow after his divorce from Apollena. Shlok confidently declares he will get engaged to Ira the next day, which leaves Apollena heartbroken.
Meanwhile, Vedh anxiously awaits Rupa’s arrival. When she finally appears, he expresses his frustration, stating he wants a baby. Rupa reveals that she is pregnant, bringing joy to Vedh, who embraces her excitedly. He rushes off to share the good news with his family. However, Rupa secretly calls Sneha, asking her to lie to Vedh about her pregnancy.
Sneha warns Rupa that lying to her in-laws is a bad idea and could lead to dire consequences once the truth comes out. Their conversation is interrupted when Sarswati joins them, eager to celebrate Rupa’s news. Sarswati expresses her happiness and even tells Rupa that Mahadev will buy her whatever she desires. Vedh, in high spirits, shares his joy with Sarswati, who suggests organizing a small function to celebrate Rupa’s “pregnancy.” Later, she blesses Rupa with a gift, while Apollena offers her congratulations as well.
Ira and Rastogi arrive, and Ira whispers to Rupa, questioning what trickery she has employed to keep her truth hidden. Ira makes it clear she won’t expose Rupa unless their paths cross unfavorably, threatening to reveal her secret if Rupa obstructs her wedding plans. Ira then insists that Apollena gather the family for a photo and, in jest, asks Mahadev to invite Girdar to the engagement.
Mahadev comments on Shlok’s worth and expresses regret over not having Shlok as a son-in-law. The atmosphere shifts as Dadi causes a stir at home, upsurprisingly informing Girdar of Shlok’s engagement news. Girdar reacts positively, claiming it’s what he wanted, noting that Apollena will soon be divorced. Dadi scolds him, accusing him of being a poor father who revels in his daughter’s misfortune. Girdar dismisses her concerns, stating he wishes to show Mahadev he is actually pleased with this development, assuring that he will attend the engagement. He instructs Madhu to prepare for the occasion, even as she insists she needs to comfort her distressed daughter.
Later, Rupa questions Apollena if arranging the engagement doesn’t make her feel sad. Apollena denies any sorrow, suggesting that Shlok might be unhappy to marry Ira given how things transpired. She points out that Ira at least loves him, unlike herself, whom she describes as having a “stone heart.”
Vijay visits Rupa, and she introduces him as her brother. He questions her about her happiness in their current situation, but Rupa lies, assuring him everything is fine. Meanwhile, Sarswati attends a call from Sneha, overhearing her urge Rupa to come clean about her truth.
