The episode opens with a tense atmosphere as Mallika informs Vikrant that Mannat is preparing to leave the gathering. She expresses her frustration, suggesting that Vikrant’s actions are intended to provoke jealousy in her. In response, Vikrant quickly intervenes, stopping Mannat from departing. He questions her about her responsibilities regarding the function they are hosting, demanding to know why she is trying to leave. Mannat explains that she needs to collect the centerpiece for the event, but Mallika interjects, insisting that Mannat should stay. She emphasizes the importance of the occasion in her life and reminds Mannat that she is her best friend, implying that Mannat’s absence would be a betrayal of their bond.
As the conversation unfolds, Mannat tries to maintain her composure, asserting that she has no ulterior motives for wanting to leave. She then asks Shalini to bring the Shagun thaali, a traditional ceremonial plate, but Mallika insists that Mannat should retrieve it herself. Meanwhile, Vikrant silently hopes that Mannat will use this opportunity to confess her feelings for him, sensing the emotional tension in the air.
During this time, Neetu, another family member, notices that the chunri—a ceremonial cloth—has been torn. Kiran comments that this could signify a bad omen, and Mallika pretends to be concerned, adding to the drama of the situation. Mannat, puzzled, questions Shalini about whether she checked the chunri before it was brought out. Shalini admits that she did not, prompting Mallika to insinuate that someone may have deliberately damaged it. This accusation leads Neetu to voice her complaints, suggesting that Mannat is responsible for the mishap.
Mannat vehemently denies any wrongdoing, but Neetu, filled with jealousy over her daughter-in-law, accuses Mannat of creating this bad omen intentionally. In a fit of anger, she demands that Mannat leave the house, claiming that she cannot allow her to remain under the same roof. Aishwarya, another character present, congratulates Mallika on her performance, indicating that they have succeeded in their manipulative game without needing to exert much effort.
Despite Neetu’s attempts to expel Mannat from the house, Mannat stands her ground, insisting that she has done nothing wrong and that she would never intentionally hurt Mallika. Gagan, another family member, supports Mannat, arguing that she is merely doing her job well and has no motive to act against the family. However, Neetu remains resolute, warning Mannat not to return to the house again. In a surprising turn, Vikrant intervenes, asserting that Mannat will stay and oversee the wedding arrangements. He firmly declares that this is his final decision, challenging Neetu’s authority in the matter.
Neetu, unwilling to back down, counters that this is also her final decision regarding Mannat’s presence in the house. In a heated exchange, Vikrant threatens to call off his engagement to Mallika, making it clear that he will not marry her if it means forcing Mannat out. He presses Neetu, asking if she truly wants him to marry Mallika, and reiterates that Mannat will remain to help with the wedding preparations. Mannat, caught in the middle of this family conflict, contemplates her own desires. Although she initially wanted to leave, she realizes she cannot do so until she exposes Aishwarya’s true intentions.
As the tension escalates, Neetu accuses Vikrant of being stubborn, while she remains determined to see his wedding to Mallika through. Aishwarya, sensing an opportunity, tells Vikrant that Mannat is simply jealous of her daughter, attempting to sow discord further. She claims that Vikrant made a mistake by allowing Mannat to stay, which only complicates matters.
Roni, another character, expresses his frustration with the ongoing drama, suggesting that he wants to halt the function altogether. He urges the guests to leave, emphasizing that the situation is becoming untenable. Roni implores Vikrant to reconsider his decisions, pointing out that they are hurting both Mannat and Mallika, as well as Vikrant himself. Amidst the chaos, Mallika, overwhelmed with emotion, begins to break things in a fit of anger. Vikrant confronts her, questioning why she is so upset and why she cried earlier. Mallika insists that her tears were meant to protect Vikrant, claiming that if she hadn’t reacted, Mannat would have grown suspicious of their plans.
Mallika expresses her concerns about Mannat’s intelligence, suggesting that she must devise a new strategy to keep their scheme under wraps. Later, Aishwarya reflects on her determination to prevent Mannat from succeeding in her efforts. She decides that Mannat must complete her tasks alone, reinforcing her intent to undermine Mannat at every turn.
Vikrant, feeling conflicted, confronts Mannat, suggesting that he understands her motivations. He implies that she cannot accept the idea of him belonging to someone else. Mannat, however, firmly asserts that she was wrong to think he would believe her and clarifies that she has no reason to act against him. Vikrant urges her to stop lying to herself, but Mannat stands her ground, stating clearly that she has no relationship with him.
As the episode concludes, the tension between the characters remains palpable, with unresolved feelings and hidden agendas simmering beneath the surface. Viewers are left anticipating the next developments in this intricate web of relationships and rivalries.
