The episode opens with Sayali, who has been tirelessly managing household chores for an extended period. Her dedication and hard work do not go unnoticed by Savitri, who observes that Sayali is often left to fend for herself, lacking any significant support from the other family members. Renuka, in particular, consistently pressures Sayali to handle the demands of the house alone, contributing to her feelings of isolation and exhaustion.
Savitri Devi, recognizing the unfair treatment, firmly advises Renuka to refrain from showing favoritism toward her other two daughters-in-law. She emphasizes the importance of equality within the household, urging Renuka to be more supportive of Sayali. As preparations for the upcoming birthday party commence, the atmosphere is filled with excitement, but Sayali remains in her ordinary attire, seemingly overlooked amidst the festivities.
When questioned about her choice of clothing, Sayali is reminded of the beautiful jewelry gifted to her by Savitri Devi. This mention of the jewelry catches the attention of Renuka and Tejas, who exchange worried glances. They become acutely aware of the potential consequences if Savitri were to discover the truth about the jewelry’s authenticity. The fear of being ousted from the household looms over them, intensifying their anxiety.
Meanwhile, Shakuntala arrives with a television she has brought from her own home, following Renuka’s request. The family is taken aback by this unexpected gift, which is presented as a gesture for Savitri Devi. However, both Shakuntala and Renuka are quick to conceal the fact that this television is not brand new. Tejas, curious about the purchase, inquires why they didn’t buy it from his own electronics shop. Once again, Renuka and Shakuntala concoct flimsy excuses to explain their choice of where to purchase the television, hoping to deflect any suspicion.
In the kitchen, Akash surprises everyone by preparing the birthday feast entirely on his own. His culinary skills impress Savitri Devi, who beams with pride at her grandson’s efforts. However, Renuka’s jealousy simmers beneath the surface as she watches her son receive praise from Savitri Devi. Meanwhile, Tejas grapples with his own confusion about what gift he should present to Savitri Devi, feeling the pressure to impress.
As the birthday celebration continues, Sayali follows Savitri’s request and dons the fake jewelry. When she appears, Savitri Devi is genuinely impressed by Sayali’s appearance, which boosts Sayali’s spirits momentarily. Shobha and Joohi arrive at the party, warmly welcomed by Savitri Devi, although Renuka’s displeasure at their presence is palpable.
Renuka takes the opportunity to insult Joohi, making derogatory remarks about the flirtatious nature of both sisters. Savitri Devi intervenes, reminding Renuka to temper her words and maintain decorum. In a lighter moment, Joohi and Akash engage in playful teasing, chasing each other around the room, which brings a smile to some faces but also draws the ire of Mamta. She observes their camaraderie with irritation but feels unable to voice her discontent.
As the festivities unfold, Mamta’s attention is drawn to Sayali’s counterfeit jewelry, leading her to mock Sayali’s financial situation. This taunt unsettles Renuka, who is already on edge due to the ongoing deception regarding the jewelry. Savitri Devi and Shobha both affirm that the jewelry is indeed real, further complicating the situation for Renuka and Tejas.
Sayali, however, grows increasingly anxious as her husband has not yet arrived and is not answering her calls. Joohi, noticing her sister’s distress, approaches Sayali to offer comfort and support, sensing something is amiss.
In the precap, the tension escalates as Sachin and Sayali devise a plan to uncover the truth behind the counterfeit jewelry. Sachin promises Sayali that he will go to any lengths necessary to dig deeper into the mystery, determined to protect his wife and restore her dignity.
