The episode begins with Kavya showcasing the food that Mehek has prepared to Chandraman, making a few pointed comments about its quality. Kavya turns to Mehek, questioning whether it’s even edible, which prompts Mehek to defend her efforts, stating that she tried her best to cook. Kavya, however, is not satisfied and criticizes Mehek’s culinary skills, insisting that she needs to improve her cooking. Feeling insulted, Mehek confronts the Thakur family, asking them why they are treating her this way and reminding them that she is a daughter-in-law of the esteemed Rajput family. Kavya retorts that Mehek shouldn’t expect to be treated like royalty and orders her to go back to the kitchen and prepare the food properly.
Yuvraj joins in on the criticism, making a sarcastic remark about Mehek and telling her to focus on her chores, adding that she should first make a good cup of coffee. Frustrated, Mehek expresses that she has never been treated so poorly before and threatens to call her father to complain about the humiliation she is facing in the Thakur mansion. Chandraman also chimes in, making further comments at Mehek’s expense.
Meanwhile, Bhajan informs Raghav that he was unable to arrange bail for the Rajvanshi family. Raghav, visibly agitated, grabs Bhajan by the collar in anger but quickly releases him, contemplating that Anjali has entered his life like a jinx, bringing nothing but trouble.
In a moment of desperation, Mehek calls Raghav to share her grievances. She tells him that Yuvraj threw coffee in her face simply because she didn’t make it well, expressing her feelings of humiliation within the Thakur household. Raghav, however, harshly tells Mehek to be quiet and reminds her that as a daughter-in-law of the Thakur family, she needs to learn to compromise. He abruptly ends the call, leaving Mehek feeling even more isolated.
Back in the Thakur mansion, Yuvraj continues to belittle Mehek, instructing her to attend to her house chores. In a moment of realization, Mehek accuses Yuvraj and the rest of the family of being involved in Padma’s kidnapping and suggests they might also be behind Aman’s murder. Yuvraj, enraged, raises his hand to strike Mehek, but Rati intervenes, asserting that it is not appropriate for the Thakur family to mistreat her in such a manner. Rati warns Chandraman, Yuvraj, and Kavya that if they continue to treat Mehek poorly, she will file a domestic violence case against them, mentioning that she knows a very competent lawyer. When Chandraman inquires about this lawyer, Rati reveals that it is Anjali Awasti.
Meanwhile, Anjali is busy with her own plans. She glances at her watch and chastises Raghav for not accomplishing anything significant. She confidently declares that she will uncover the truth behind the kidnapping, starting with the Rajput family. Raghav, frustrated, shouts at Anjali, calling her “Bahu,” but Anjali retorts that she is no longer a daughter-in-law; she identifies solely as Advocate Anjali Awasti. Aarti enters the scene and questions Anjali about her identity as a mother. Anjali responds that she is indeed a mother, but one who has lost her daughter. She tells Aarti that only when she becomes a mother will she understand the pain of losing a child. Anjali also criticizes Aarti for siding with criminals and wanting to marry a man who is already married, leaving Aarti stunned.
Raghav, feeling the pressure, urges Abhay and Bhajan to take action, warning that if Anjali puts the Rajvanshi family on the stand during the next court hearing, it could lead to serious trouble. Bhajan, determined, vows to handle the situation and starts plotting to kill Anjali.
Later, Anjali returns home to find Ganesh making comments about her actions against Aarti’s in-laws, the Rajvanshi family. He expresses his disappointment that she has put them behind bars without considering Aarti’s feelings. Anjali asks Ganesh how he came to know this information, and Ved steps forward, admitting that he told Ganesh. Ved also accuses Anjali of sabotaging his wedding to Aarti at the temple. Aarti, feeling neglected, confronts Anjali, stating that she has never truly been a mother to her. In a bold move, Aarti challenges Anjali, declaring that she will rescue the Rajvanshi family and marry Ved, insisting that Anjali cannot stop her. Aarti emphasizes her status as an orphan and storms out, leaving Ved and Ganesh to ponder her words.
Ganesh then turns to Anjali, urging her to promise that she will be a mother to Aarti and not let her feel like an orphan. Anjali agrees, stating that she will fulfill her role as a mother but will also continue to serve as a lawyer and uphold her duties.
As Anjali leaves the Basti, a goon spots her and immediately contacts Bhajan, informing him of her whereabouts. Bhajan gives the order to eliminate Anjali, escalating the tension further.
**Precap:** In a surprising turn of events, Aarti invites Anjali to her wedding. Anjali agrees to attend but sets a condition: Ved must prove that his marriage to Kali never took place. Aarti accepts this challenge, determined to confront Anjali. Meanwhile, Raghav contemplates the importance of this marriage going ahead, setting the stage for further conflict.
