The episode opens with Aarti grappling with her feelings about wearing jewelry that was purchased with Ved’s money. Ved clarifies that the jewelry does not belong to him but is a gift from her mother. He addresses the situation regarding his relationship with Kali, asserting that she is not his lawful wife, a claim he believes can be substantiated in court. Ved expresses his deep affection for two individuals in his life: his mother and Aarti. He proposes that Aarti be allowed to attend the wedding procession of Mehek and Yuvraj, after which they can proceed with their own marriage, emphasizing that his union with Kali is invalid. Following this heartfelt moment, Ved proposes to Aarti once again, but she leaves, visibly upset and in tears.
Padma, witnessing Aarti’s distress, comforts Ved by interpreting her tears as a clear indication of her love for him. She reassures Ved that she will ensure Aarti attends the baarat and the wedding. In a gesture of support, Ved gives Padma a dress intended for Aarti, requesting that she wear it to the baarat, where Kali is expected to welcome her. Sonal observes this exchange, her mind racing with thoughts.
Sonal contacts Sadika to inform her that everything is unfolding according to their plan, hinting at a trap they have set for Aarti and Ved. She contemplates the possibility that even if Aarti manages to escape their scheme during the baarat, she will ultimately meet her fate on the day of the marriage, effectively closing the case surrounding their past.
Meanwhile, Yuvraj confides in his sister about the haunting memories of a crime from 21 years ago, which continues to affect him. He reveals that he intends to marry Mehek as a means to escape the repercussions of this case. His sister warns him to tread carefully, but Yuvraj reassures her that he has a plan in place. He explains that both Kali and Mehek play pivotal roles in their respective schemes, with Kali saving Ved and Mehek saving him. Yuvraj outlines the details of their plan, which involves Aarti being invited to the wedding, where Kali will orchestrate her demise. He views Mehek as a pawn in his game and acknowledges that Ved is similarly positioned in Kali’s strategy. His sister expresses concern about Mehek’s feelings for him, urging him not to betray her.
Sadika later updates Yuvraj on the smooth progress of their plan, reminding him that the next day marks his Haldi ceremony with Mehek. She assures him that if their trap succeeds, Aarti will withdraw her case and destroy the incriminating documents. Yuvraj agrees, and after the call, Sadika shares her excitement with Sonal about the dramatic events that are set to unfold, referring to it as a spectacle of “Pati, Patni Aur Woh,” which they hope will protect their families from legal troubles.
The following day, Yuvraj and his family arrive for the Haldi ritual, receiving a warm welcome from the Rajput family. Mehek makes a stunning entrance, and everyone admires her beauty, creating a joyful atmosphere. Kali arrives with Ved, asking to join in the festivities. Raghav invites her inside, and Yuvraj extends a warm welcome to them. Sadika notes that the dance would be incomplete without their presence, adding to the celebratory mood. Just then, Raghav’s brother announces the arrival of a special guest, prompting everyone to turn their attention to Aarti, who stands at the doorway. Kali instructs Ved to welcome Aarti, acknowledging the public knowledge of his affection for her. However, Mehek’s sister interrupts, insisting that they bring Aarti inside.
Kali takes this opportunity to taunt Aarti, questioning the whereabouts of the jewelry sent by the Rajput family, insinuating that she might have sold it for money. She expresses hope that Aarti might receive even greater wealth from the family. In response, Aarti retrieves the jewelry from her bag, placing the gold bangles on Kali’s wrist and returning the remaining ornaments, stating her unwillingness to keep what does not belong to her. She makes it clear that she has no interest in Kali’s husband. Kali retaliates by reiterating her stance, claiming that her gift to Aarti is her husband and implying that she is relinquishing her rights over him. She proposes a deal: if Aarti agrees to drop the case, the families will compensate her with the money she desires.
Raghav intervenes, emphasizing Aarti’s importance as his granddaughter and her willingness to fulfill Kali’s demands. Mehek steps in, urging everyone to cease the bickering and to focus on enjoying the Haldi celebration.
**Precap:** The scene shifts dramatically as Aarti is ambushed by goons, prompting a fierce confrontation. Both Aarti and Ved join forces to fight against their attackers, setting the stage for a tense and action-packed sequence.
