The episode opens with a heated conversation between Sadhika and Aarti, where Sadhika passionately reminds Aarti that Anjali has never truly been there for her and has not played a significant role in raising her. Aarti, however, remains steadfast in her defense of Anjali, urging Sadhika to calm down. She explains that Anjali has rescued her life on multiple occasions and has consistently proven her love and loyalty to Aarti. Confused by Aarti’s unwavering support for Anjali, Sadhika presses her for clarification.
Aarti recounts a harrowing incident where Anjali was attacked by a group of goons. She describes how both she and Ved attempted to rescue Anjali from this dangerous situation. During the confrontation, one of the attackers aimed to stab Aarti, but Anjali bravely intervened, grabbing the knife with her bare hand to protect Aarti. This act of courage only strengthens Aarti’s belief in Anjali’s love and commitment.
Sadhika, while acknowledging Anjali’s bravery, sarcastically suggests that if Anjali is indeed so devoted, she should come to Aarti’s wedding and participate in the ceremonies. Aarti agrees, feeling hopeful about Anjali’s involvement. Sadhika insists that they should call Anjali to hear her intentions directly. Aarti readily agrees to make the call.
Meanwhile, Uday and Pratap are discussing their plans with Ved. They inform him that after the wedding between Ved and Aarti, they intend to leave for a pilgrimage, to which Ved responds affirmatively. Once their conversation concludes, Ved departs, leaving Uday and Pratap to ponder the upcoming events.
Sonal, curious about the discussion, approaches Uday and Pratap for details. Just then, Kali enters the scene, ominously stating that while Ved and Aarti’s wedding will indeed take place, only Ved will reach the mandap (wedding platform), and Aarti will end up as a lifeless body. Uday grimly adds that on the day of the wedding, there will be two dead bodies: one belonging to Anjali and the other to Aarti. After making their dark predictions, Uday and the others leave, leaving Kali to internally apologize to Aarti. She expresses her reluctance to follow through with these plans but admits that her love for Ved outweighs everything else.
Aarti, undeterred by the ominous warnings, picks up her phone and calls Anjali to invite her to the wedding. Sadhika encourages Aarti to put the call on speaker so everyone can hear. Abhay assists by putting the phone on speaker mode. The members of the Rajput family, including Raghav, Sadhika, Abhay, and Vaibhav, explain to Aarti that Anjali has always acted within legal boundaries and holds strong values. Unbeknownst to them, Anjali overhears their conversation from the other end of the line. They press Anjali to confirm whether she will attend the wedding, but she remains silent.
Aarti, sensing the tension, reassures Anjali that regardless of what the Rajput family believes, her marriage to Ved will take place. Finally, Anjali agrees to come to the wedding but states that she has a condition: Aarti and Ved must prove that Ved’s previous marriage to Kali never occurred. Aarti readily agrees to this stipulation, eager to have Anjali present. Anjali warns that if they fail to prove the non-existence of her marriage to Kali, she will intervene with a court order to stop the wedding, leaving Aarti with a sense of urgency. With that, Anjali ends the call.
Determined, Aarti turns to the Rajput family and vows to prove that Ved and Kali’s marriage was invalid, thus ensuring Anjali’s attendance at the wedding. Raghav, however, expresses skepticism, explaining that to prove Kali and Ved’s marriage is fake, they need Padma, who has been kidnapped. Aarti, fueled by her resolve, vows to find Padma at any cost.
Meanwhile, Anjali reflects on her phone conversation with Aarti. Gaurav approaches her, cautioning her against falling into a trap. He warns Anjali that there are those who wish to harm her, specifically naming Abhay, Raghav, Vaibhav, Sadhika, Chandraman, Yuvraj, Uday, Pratap, and ultimately pointing to Kali Rajvanshi as the mastermind behind the threats. Anjali, taken aback by Gaurav’s claims, demands to know who exactly wants to kill her. Gaurav insists that she is not the only target; Aarti is also in grave danger. Anjali, resolute, declares that she will do everything in her power to protect Aarti. Gaurav urges her to stay vigilant, and Anjali agrees, understanding the gravity of the situation.
The episode concludes with a sense of foreboding as Anjali prepares to confront the challenges ahead.
**Precap:** Anjali confides in Pankaj, revealing that she has informed Aarti that she will attend Ved and Aarti’s wedding only if they can prove that Ved and Kali’s marriage never took place. Anjali expresses her internal conflict, stating that her heart tells her to act in accordance with the law.
Meanwhile, Kali contacts Uday, inquiring if Hina Rajvanshi, Ved’s mother, can attend the wedding. Uday responds affirmatively, curious about Kali’s interest in Hina. Kali reminds Uday that the phone number used by Padma to contact Mehek belongs to Hina Rajvanshi, hinting at deeper connections and potential revelations to come.
