The episode opens with a tense atmosphere as Chandraman makes a solemn promise to Anjali. He assures her that he will personally drop Mehek at her home, but only if Padma confirms that she has married Yuvraj. This condition hangs heavily in the air as Chandraman instructs Mehek to call Yuvraj, hoping to clarify the situation. However, when Mehek attempts to reach Padma, she finds that Padma is not answering her calls, adding to the growing uncertainty.
Meanwhile, Anjali is in a state of worry and reaches out to Kali, inquiring about Padma’s whereabouts. Kali, seemingly vague, mentions that Padma has gone somewhere unexpectedly, possibly to the grocery store. This information prompts Anjali to take matters into her own hands and she decides to search for Padma herself, leaving her current location in a hurry.
In a parallel scene, Chandraman gives Pankaj some crucial advice. He warns Pankaj to stay away from Anjali if he wants to safeguard his career, especially concerning the sensitive matter of Satya’s death. Chandraman reassures Pankaj that he will protect him if any accusations arise, but he emphasizes the importance of keeping distance from Anjali to avoid further complications.
Back at Anjali’s home, she discovers that Padma is missing. She notices that a dish is half cooked in the kitchen, leading her to believe that Padma would never abandon her cooking mid-way. Growing increasingly anxious, Anjali steps outside and questions Pradeep about Padma’s whereabouts. Pradeep, unsure, suggests that she should still be nearby. Anjali, however, insists that Padma would never leave her cooking unattended.
As she continues her search, Anjali spots Kali again and asks her directly about Padma. Kali, maintaining her air of mystery, claims she doesn’t know where Padma is. Just then, Santosh arrives and reveals that she saw Padma leaving the Basti with Kali. This revelation sends Anjali into a frenzy, and she demands the truth from Kali. Kali hesitates, questioning whether Anjali can handle the truth. Anjali, determined, presses for answers, and Kali reluctantly informs her that Raghav, Abhay, and Aarti had called Padma and taken her away. This shocking news propels Anjali to rush to Raghav’s house, desperate for answers.
Meanwhile, Sadhika is on the phone with Kali, checking if she followed through with her instructions to mislead Anjali. Kali confirms that she did, and Sadhika expresses her excitement, eagerly anticipating the confrontation between Anjali and Aarti.
In a dramatic twist, Padma regains consciousness in an abandoned factory, calling out for anyone nearby. To her horror, she finds herself surrounded by Yuvraj and members of the Rajyavanshi family, including Uday, Pratap, and Sonal. Yuvraj, seething with anger, takes a gun from Uday and confronts Padma, accusing her of wanting to ruin his marriage. He declares that after returning from abroad after 21 years, all he desires is peace, and he loves Mehek deeply, having married her. Yuvraj threatens Padma, stating that she will pay for her actions.
Just then, Yuvraj receives a call from Mehek. Sonal quickly covers Padma’s mouth to keep her silent. On the phone, Mehek asks Yuvraj where he is, and he responds that he is out shopping for a diamond ring for their first night together, making a light-hearted comment that brings a smile to Mehek’s face. She expresses her joy, recalling the early days of their romance, and asks Yuvraj to buy a home for them so they can start their life together. Yuvraj promises her that it will happen soon.
However, the mood shifts dramatically as Yuvraj instructs Uday to kill Padma and dispose of her body. He emphasizes that he must go buy the diamond ring and arrange for a Sherwani for the occasion. Sonal suggests that they can use the diamond ring Ved bought for Aarti, and Yuvraj agrees to this plan, preparing to leave. As he does, Padma warns Yuvraj that Anjali will ruin him, but he merely laughs off her concerns, confident that Anjali poses no threat to him.
Meanwhile, Raghav and Abhay prepare to leave when Anjali arrives at the Rajput house. Raghav calls for the family and asks Aarti to invite Anjali inside, referring to her as the daughter-in-law of the house. Nivedita tries to welcome Anjali, but she pulls away, demanding to know where Padma is. Anjali accuses Raghav, Padma, and Aarti of abducting her sister. Abhay and Raghav deny her accusations, insisting that Padma is not there and urging her to leave. The tension escalates as Abhay attempts to force Anjali out, but she grabs his collar, reminding him that her sister Gini was previously missing, and now Padma is too. She vows not to spare him, further escalating the confrontation. Aarti questions Anjali’s actions, adding to the chaotic scene.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger, leaving viewers eager for resolution.
**Precap:** In a shocking turn of events, Chandraman strikes a deal with Pankaj, instructing him to place Rs 20 lakhs in Anjali’s house. He reveals that the police will raid her home and find the money, framing her for kidnapping or attempting to harm Padma.
Pankaj, seemingly cornered, agrees to the plan. Later, Anjali receives a distressing phone call informing her that the police have raided her home and discovered the Rs 20 lakhs, accusing her of taking the money from Chandraman to carry out nefarious deeds against Padma. This sets the stage for a gripping confrontation and a battle for Anjali’s innocence.
