The episode begins with a vibrant scene as a young girl enters her lush garden, her face lighting up with joy as she tends to her beloved plants. She introduces herself with a warm smile, saying, “I am Katha Kumari Rathi.” Katha shares that she has lived with her uncle since childhood, creating a close-knit family bond with him and her aunt. As she moves from plant to plant, she affectionately names each one, expressing how they are like family to her. Her passion for botany shines through as she explains her studies and her ambition to help her uncle after completing her education.
As Katha admires a butterfly fluttering by, she suddenly hears her uncle playing an old, nostalgic song from the house. The music draws her in, and she joyfully dances with her uncle and aunt, celebrating the simple pleasures of life. In a flurry of activity, Katha rushes to fetch cow dung from the milkman, explaining to her uncle that it’s essential for delivering her plants. Her aunt teasingly scolds her, mentioning that her college friends have started calling her “Gobar Devi” because of her obsession with cow dung. Katha, not amused by the nickname, responds defiantly, stating that she has no intention of getting married, much to her uncle’s chagrin.
Transitioning to the college setting, a fellow student approaches Chef UV, inquiring about the connection between food and music. UV enthusiastically explains the relationship while preparing a dish, showcasing his culinary skills. Just then, Tammy bursts in with news that Katha, whom they refer to as Gobar Devi, is denying entry to the freshers’ party. Intrigued, UV expresses a desire to meet this enigmatic girl.
Meanwhile, Katha is busy giving her uncle strict dietary instructions, but he and her aunt playfully attempt to outsmart her, only to fail. Reminded by her aunt about the upcoming college event, Katha grabs a plant and leaves for college. Both her uncle and aunt express their pride in her determination and dedication.
On her way to college, Katha learns that the train she usually takes is delayed. Determined not to miss the event, she decides to take a bus instead. However, she faces challenges with the bus conductor and other passengers who insist she leave the plant behind. Undeterred, Katha climbs onto the rooftop of the bus, sharing her adventurous spirit with her friend. Her friend informs her that UV and his friends are upset about her decision regarding the freshers’ party, adding to Katha’s worries.
Upon reaching the college, Katha catches UV’s eye. He turns to his friends, suggesting they might have misjudged her. But as Katha walks past, UV is overwhelmed by the smell of cow dung, leading his friends to remind him why they call her Gobar Devi. The freshers’ party kicks off, but Katha’s speech fails to engage the audience, prompting UV to step in. He bursts onto the scene, singing and dancing, and in a moment of mischief, he pulls Katha into a dance, causing her to stumble and fall. Upset, Katha scolds UV for interrupting the event, while he and his friends look confused by her choice of words. Katha’s friends quickly whisk her away from the chaotic scene, but just then, a man arrives and forcibly takes UV away.
The scene shifts to the Jindal household, where preparations for a puja are underway. Pari, a family member, is busy vlogging and introducing her family members to the audience. Eshwar Chandra Jindal, the patriarch, inquires about UV’s whereabouts, expressing concern over the responsibilities he has entrusted to him. Just then, a worker brings UV home. UV immediately dismisses the importance of the puja, stating he didn’t bring the plant and that he doesn’t believe in it. Eshwar, visibly upset, scolds UV for his attitude, while Harshvardan also chimes in with criticism. Frustrated, UV insists he has work to do at his café and tries to leave. Eshwar warns the family that UV’s behavior is negatively influencing his siblings and expresses concern about how they will start the puja without the plant.
Meanwhile, Mohan arrives at Katha’s location and brings her to the Jindal house. In a twist of fate, Katha and UV bump into each other, leading to a comical mishap where cow dung spills on UV. The Jindal family, however, is delighted to see that Katha has brought the very plant they need for the puja. Mohan introduces Katha to Eshwar, who is impressed by her confidence and demeanor. Katha respectfully seeks Eshwar and Rukhmani’s blessings before placing the plant in the designated puja area. Eshwar, taken by Katha’s spirit, draws a comparison between her and UV, pondering whether this encounter is a divine sign for their potential union.
Precap
In a moment of frustration, Katha approaches Eshwar to complain about UV’s behavior. Meanwhile, UV, feeling challenged, vows to win Katha over with his charm only to break her heart later. Katha, venting her frustrations about UV, unexpectedly witnesses a compassionate gesture from him towards a patient in the hospital, stirring her emotions and leaving her conflicted about her feelings for him. The stage is set for a tumultuous relationship filled with love, misunderstandings, and personal growth.
