The episode begins with Vikrant and Mannat in a conversation about the upcoming wedding. Vikrant expresses his knowledge of what his future wife’s favorite food is, but he emphasizes that it is Mannat’s responsibility to finalize the menu for the event. He reminds her that this is her duty, and she must arrange everything accordingly. Mannat responds thoughtfully, mentioning that Mallika, the bride-to-be, prefers light food as she is health-conscious and focused on maintaining her diet. After discussing the menu, Vikrant tells her that she can come back to him once she has made her final decisions.
Mannat, feeling a sense of pressure, asks Vikrant to excuse her as she needs some time to prepare. Vikrant misinterprets her request, thinking that she is upset with him because she seems overwhelmed by the situation. He reflects on his feelings, realizing that he cannot continue this wedding charade without hurting both Mannat and Mallika. In a moment of vulnerability, he prays to God, asking for guidance and hoping for a way to unite him with Mannat.
As Vikrant gets lost in his thoughts, Mallika approaches him, urging him to confess his feelings. She insists that he needs to pour his heart out in a speech, which she believes is essential for the wedding. Vikrant questions the necessity of such a confession, expressing his desire not to break Mannat’s heart or see her sad. Mallika clarifies that her concern is not about Mannat’s feelings but rather about how Mannat will feel jealous when she sees Vikrant proposing to her. This revelation prompts Vikrant to assure Mallika that he will act as she wishes.
Mallika then insists that Vikrant practice his proposal speech in front of Mannat, suggesting that she will no longer be stubborn about her feelings. Vikrant thanks her for her support, and Mallika, feeling possessive, thinks to herself that Vikrant belongs to her and that no one can take him away from her. Just then, Mannat enters the scene, and Mallika quickly hugs Vikrant, whispering to him that Mannat has arrived. As Mannat prepares to leave, Vikrant stops her, inquiring about what she needs. She informs him that she has come to finalize the menu for the wedding.
Mallika chimes in, reminding Vikrant to propose to her romantically and give a heartfelt speech. Vikrant acknowledges that since Mallika is going to marry him, he will, of course, listen to her. He then asks Mannat to meet him at his office, but Mannat’s mind is elsewhere; she is determined to focus on exposing Aishwarya rather than getting caught up in wedding preparations.
Later, we see Neetu, Vikrant’s mother, secretly adding medication to Vikrant’s juice. She apologizes to him for her previous harshness and expresses her desire for him to forget his past until after his wedding with Mallika. Neetu has a plan to convince Roni to transfer all the property into Vikrant’s name following the wedding, which would alleviate her fears regarding Raveena and Aishwarya.
In a later scene, Mannat brings food to Vikrant, who playfully asks her to feed him, claiming he is too busy to eat on his own. Mannat is taken aback by his sudden change in attitude, but she complies with his request. As she feeds him, she accidentally causes him to hurt his cheek, prompting her to help him clean it. In a playful moment, Vikrant insists that she should eat as well and helps her clean her cheek. However, the mood shifts when Neetu enters the room and scolds Mannat for getting too close to her son. She demands that Mannat leave, and in a moment of defiance, Mannat deliberately pushes the juice away, apologizing to Neetu. She silently vows to protect Vikrant from anyone who might hurt him.
Vikrant, defending Mannat, stands up to his mother, expressing his support for her. This moment highlights his growing bond with Mannat, even amidst the family tensions. Later, Shalini, a supportive friend, meets Mannat and reassures her that she will always stand by her side. She encourages Mannat to be brave as she prepares to confront Aishwarya, reminding her that Aishwarya is afraid of the truth. Together, they resolve to expose Aishwarya’s secrets.
As the episode draws to a close, the tension builds around the impending confrontation with Aishwarya, setting the stage for further developments in the storyline.
