The episode begins with Raghav confronting Sadhika, urging her to speak to Anjali with the respect she deserves. He emphasizes that Anjali was never genuinely interested in the marriage, revealing that it was he who had to plead with her to agree to the union. Raghav insists that only after much persuasion did Anjali finally consent to the marriage. However, Vaibhav interjects, reminding Raghav that Anjali’s agreement was contingent upon a lucrative deal of ₹200 crores, not solely due to his pleas. Bhajan, overhearing the conversation, makes a comment about Anjali, but Raghav quickly comes to her defense, reiterating his support for her.
The tension escalates as the police bring in the shooter responsible for the attack on Anjali. In a dramatic turn of events, Anjali confronts the shooter, threatening him with a gun and demanding to know who hired him to kill her. The shooter feigns fear, claiming that Aarti was the one who orchestrated the hit. Anjali, unconvinced and enraged, physically confronts the shooter, accusing him of lying. Sadhika intervenes, stopping Anjali and criticizing her aggressive behavior. She then instructs Pankaj to arrest Aarti, further complicating the situation.
Stepping aside, Sadhika makes a call to Gini, revealing her cunning plan. She explains that she has replaced the original shooter and framed Aarti for the attack. Sadhika expresses her satisfaction with the chaos she has created, stating that this will ignite a fierce conflict between Anjali and Aarti.
Meanwhile, the Rajvanshi family visits Aarti, seeking answers about the previous night’s events. Aarti asks them why they have come, and Ved informs her that someone attempted to shoot Anjali. Uday and Pratap share their suspicions, suggesting that there is a conspiracy against Aarti. Confused, both Aarti and Ved press Uday for clarification. The two men explain that the shooter has been apprehended by the police and has implicated Aarti as the mastermind behind the attack.
Sonal, trying to verify the information, calls Anjali. Ved takes the phone and questions Anjali about the shooter’s claims. Anjali, however, remains silent, prompting Aarti to take the phone and demand the same answer. Anjali reluctantly reveals that the shooter mentioned her name, which sends Aarti into a spiral of doubt. Recalling Uday and Pratap’s earlier words, Aarti begins to believe their accusations against Anjali. She accuses Anjali of framing her in order to clear the path for her to marry Abhay, hurling insults before abruptly ending the call.
Determined to uncover the truth, Anjali turns her attention back to the shooter to record his statement. She quickly realizes that he is providing inconsistent answers, such as claiming he shot her at 7:30 PM when the incident actually occurred at 8:30 PM. In a show of authority, Anjali fires a bullet beside him, demanding that he confess the truth. Terrified, the shooter finally admits that he was sent by Rani Mojumdar, revealing the deeper conspiracy at play. Raghav, witnessing Anjali’s fierce determination and intelligence, praises her for her bravery and quick thinking.
Later, Raghav reaches out to Aarti to explain how Anjali managed to prove her innocence amidst the chaos. He reassures her that the entire situation was merely a plot to sow discord between mother and daughter. Curious, Aarti asks who was behind this scheme, and Raghav reveals that Gini is the mastermind orchestrating the events.
In a separate scene, Damodar scolds Yuvraj and Kavya for their failed attempt to kill Anjali, expressing his disappointment in their incompetence and the repercussions of their actions.
**Precap:** Gini tells Kavya and Yuvraj that they have another opportunity to eliminate Anjali, as her wedding day on January 12th approaches, presenting a new window for their plans. Meanwhile, Padma informs Anjali that Abhay is willing to provide ₹200 crores to save the basti, but in exchange, she must agree to marry him. Anjali reacts strongly to this ultimatum, her emotions clearly stirred by the proposition.
