The episode opens with a sense of urgency as Ketki picks up her phone and dials Payal’s number. Her voice is laced with concern as she informs Payal that Prarthna is present, urging her to handle the situation delicately. After conveying her message, Ketki quickly disconnects the call, leaving an air of tension hanging in the room.
Meanwhile, Rocky observes Payal, noticing her lost expression as she stares into the distance. Concerned, he approaches her and asks what is occupying her thoughts. In a moment of vulnerability, Payal reminds Rocky of a conversation they once had, where he told her she would never truly belong to him. Rocky, acknowledging his previous words, warns Payal to be prepared for the consequences of their past decisions.
Feeling the weight of the situation, Payal calls for Prarthna, who soon appears, her demeanor serious. Prarthna confronts Payal directly, questioning her about a possible pre-marital relationship and whether Raunak is aware of it. Under the pressure of Prarthna’s inquiry, Payal admits that she was indeed in a relationship with Rocky. However, she emphasizes that everyone has a past and insists that she is no different. She reveals the darker side of her relationship with Rocky, explaining how she ultimately realized he was not the right person for her because he had been physically abusive. With desperation in her eyes, Payal pleads with Prarthna not to disclose this information to Raunak, fearing that the revelation could jeopardize her impending marriage and future.
Prarthna, concerned for her friend, asks Payal to promise that she will always prioritize Raunak’s well-being and that of his family. Payal, touched by Prarthna’s sincerity, assures her that she will do just that, making a heartfelt promise.
In another part of the house, Bhavesh is seen anxiously pleading with Raunak, imploring him not to reveal anything about their past to Prarthna and her family. However, Raunak, resolute in his stance, refuses to heed Bhavesh’s request and walks away, leaving Bhavesh to stew in his anxiety.
Later, Payal and Prarthna return home, and Payal expresses her gratitude towards Prarthna for agreeing to keep her past a secret. She reassures Prarthna that she will continue to act as if nothing is amiss to avoid raising suspicion among others. With a sly smirk, Payal leaves the room, her mind clearly racing with ulterior motives.
Raunak then approaches Prarthna, his tone earnest as he urges her not to marry Bhavesh. He expresses his belief that Bhavesh is not the right man for her. However, Prarthna stands firm in her decision, asserting that she will only marry the man chosen by her family. Unbeknownst to them, Bhavesh overhears their conversation, his expression darkening as he processes their words. Just then, Seema enters the scene, taking Prarthna by the arm and leading her away, oblivious to the tension that has just unfolded.
As a ritual begins, the atmosphere is thick with anticipation. Raunak, Payal, Bhavesh, and Prarthna sit together, surrounded by family and friends. Suddenly, a lady Sadhu enters the gathering, her presence commanding immediate attention. She gazes intently at Prarthna and makes a bold prediction, declaring that her marriage to Bhavesh will not take place. The room falls silent, everyone stunned by her words. Turning her attention to Smita, she ominously states that Prarthna will become the daughter-in-law of their house, and nothing can alter this fate.
Smita, furious at the intrusion, demands that the priests remove the lady Sadhu from the premises. However, the priests stand firm, explaining that she is no ordinary woman; she possesses supernatural abilities to foresee the future. The lady Sadhu, before leaving, makes another cryptic comment about Smita, further fueling her anger.
After the commotion, the priest hands Sindoor to Smita, instructing her that it is meant for her future daughter-in-law. As Smita takes the Sindoor in her hand, a sudden gust of wind sweeps through the area, causing the powder to accidentally fall onto Prarthna’s hairline.
Bhavesh’s mother panics at the sight, calling it an inauspicious sign. The priest, though taken aback, suggests that it may be God’s will, which only adds to the tension. Smita, visibly upset by the events, comments bitterly on the situation before storming off.
Meanwhile, at home, Kishan discusses the earlier incident with Seema, expressing his firm belief that the lady Sadhu’s prediction will indeed come true. He shares that he felt a mystical power in her words, hinting at the significance of the prophecy.
Later, Bhavesh arrives at Prarthna’s house, carrying her bridal dress. His demeanor is nervous as he presents the dress, a symbol of the future he envisions with her.
Elsewhere, Mayank spots Raunak and remarks on the lady Sadhu’s apparent powers, suggesting that she was able to read the true feelings in Raunak’s heart. This observation leaves Raunak pondering the implications of the lady Sadhu’s predictions and what they might mean for his future and that of those around him.
As the episode draws to a close, the air is thick with uncertainty and anticipation, leaving viewers eager to see how the characters will navigate the tangled web of love, secrets, and destiny that lies ahead.
