The episode begins with Sadhika inquiring about Sanya’s whereabouts as she prepares to leave. Sanya informs Sadhika that they need to perform the aarti for the groom, emphasizing the importance of the ritual. Sadhika, however, dismisses her concern, stating that she has already prepared the aarti thaal, implying that everything is under control. Curious about the situation, Sanya asks Sadhika whom she is referring to, prompting Bhajan to interject and invite Sanya to come and see for herself.
As the scene unfolds, Gini steps forward to perform the aarti for the groom, Abhay. Raghav, noticing the commotion, questions Gini about what is happening. Gini urges Raghav not to interrupt the sacred ritual, hinting that it is of great significance. Raghav, still puzzled, presses Gini for an explanation, but she assures him that she will clarify everything later. With that, she invites Abhay into the wedding venue, setting the stage for the upcoming ceremony.
Sanya stands in shock as she witnesses Gini performing the aarti for Abhay, her ex-husband. Sadhika seizes the moment to comment on the irony of the situation, pointing out that Abhay’s ex-wife, Gini, is giving him aarti just before he marries Gini’s sister, Anjali. The tension escalates when Aarti arrives, expressing her desire to participate in the aarti ritual as well, since Abhay is about to become her father. She steps forward to give aarti to Abhay, which prompts Ved to intervene. He chastises Aarti, declaring that she is insulting Abhay by doing so. Aarti retorts defiantly, questioning Ved’s authority in the matter. Ved then insists that Abhay should accompany him, to which Aarti provocatively asks if Ved is taking Abhay away to make him her father.
Sadhika, enjoying the unfolding drama, mocks Aarti and questions her decision to marry Ved, whom she accuses of being involved in a women trafficking ring. She also brings up Uday, Pratap, and Sonal in her accusations, further stirring the pot. Sadhika turns her attention to Anjali, questioning why she filed a case against Yuvraj but has never taken action against Ved, her own son-in-law. Just then, Anjali enters the scene, asserting that Ved will fully cooperate with any investigation, seeking to defend him. She turns to Ved for confirmation, and he agrees, albeit with a hint of reluctance.
As the drama unfolds, Anjali arrives at the wedding venue, where Gini makes a shocking announcement to the Rajput family: the wedding will not take place. Raghav, taken aback, demands to know the reason behind this sudden declaration. Gini explains that the house belongs to her, implying that she has the right to call off the wedding. Raghav dismisses her claim, revealing that he had mortgaged the house, which raises eyebrows among the guests. Anjali, curious about Raghav’s statement, presses him for details. Raghav reluctantly admits that he is bankrupt, which shocks everyone present. Gini, feeling justified, tells Raghav that he has wronged her in the past and now seeks to make amends.
In a surprising turn of events, Bhajan steps in and declares that the marriage will not happen, presenting Raghav with the mortgage papers as evidence. After reviewing the documents, Raghav turns to Mehek, expressing his dismay that Yuvraj has deceived him.
Mehek confronts Yuvraj, demanding to know what he has done. Yuvraj reveals that he mortgaged the house in Gini’s name, explaining that Gini bought the house and completed the registration in her name, making her the legal owner. Despite Gini and others insisting that the wedding will not proceed, Abhay stands firm, declaring that the marriage will happen regardless of the circumstances.
With determination, Abhay calls for the pandit to begin chanting the mantras for the wedding ceremony. He and Anjali take the phere, with Anjali lost in memories of Aman as they circle the sacred fire. As the ceremony progresses, Abhay prepares to perform the sindoor daan ritual, a crucial moment in the wedding. However, Padma suddenly notices Damodar pointing a gun at Anjali and shouts a warning to her. Reacting quickly, Anjali throws a plate at Damodar, causing him to drop the gun and creating chaos as she, Ved, and Abhay confront Damodar’s goons.
As the fight ensues, Ved urges Abhay and Anjali to perform the sindoor daan ritual again, sensing that the danger is not yet over. Just as Abhay is about to apply the sindoor to Anjali’s hairline, the lights in the venue unexpectedly go out, plunging the scene into darkness. In the confusion, a gunshot rings out, and Abhay is struck, leaving everyone in shock.
In the precap, Pankaj informs Aarti that only one bullet was fired from the gun and that Abhay was shot with that weapon. He reveals that the gun was found in Aarti’s hand, raising suspicions about her involvement.
Aarti, distressed, insists that she is being framed for the crime. Just then, Sadhika arrives, coming to Aarti’s defense and claiming that she has been set up by none other than Anjali, setting the stage for further conflict and revelations in the unfolding drama.
