The episode begins with Padma, who is bustling about in the living room, asking a group of ladies if they have come to meet anyone in particular. The ladies, clearly excited, respond that they have come to see Anjali and that they have brought gifts for her in celebration of Akshay Tritiya, a significant occasion in their culture. Padma, with a warm smile, calls out to Anjali to let her know that her visitors have arrived.
As Anjali enters the room, she greets the ladies with a smile, her demeanor brightening as they present their gifts. The ladies unwrap a beautifully adorned cloth, revealing a stunning bridal dress and a mangalsutra. Anjali’s expression shifts from joy to shock as she stares at the gifts, her heart racing at the implications of such items.
Meanwhile, Pradeep and the people from the basti are gathered nearby, watching a religious ceremony unfold. Suddenly, they notice that the pandit is about to lose his balance on the stage. In a chaotic moment, the pandit accidentally sends the pooja thaal flying through the air, causing a flurry of activity. As the thaal crashes to the ground, some of its contents, including sindoor, scatter into the air.
The sindoor lands on Anjali’s hairline, and she is taken aback, feeling a wave of emotions wash over her. She turns to the ladies, demanding to know where the sindoor came from. Anjali’s frustration boils over as she lashes out at them, reminding them that she is a widow and that she honors her deceased husband by placing a garland around his photo every day.
Her voice rises as she accuses the ladies of trying to tarnish her image before the elections, vowing that she will not allow anyone to ruin her reputation and that she is determined to win the elections.
In the midst of this turmoil, Anjali receives a phone call from a mysterious lady on the other end. The woman inquires if Anjali has received the gifts, which only adds to Anjali’s confusion and anger. Demanding to know the identity of the caller and the reason behind the mangalsutra and bridal dress, Anjali’s temper flares.
In a fit of rage, she throws the gift plate into the air, and as the mangalsutra falls, it lands on her shoulder before dropping to the ground. Padma, noticing the fallen piece of jewelry, picks it up and remarks that it looks just like the one Anjali used to wear.
This comment triggers a flood of memories for Anjali, and she realizes the painful truth of her past, prompting her to leave the gathering abruptly.
Once inside her home, Anjali gazes at a photo of Aman, her late husband. Memories of him flood her mind, and she becomes emotional, reflecting on their life together. In a symbolic gesture, she pours water over herself, attempting to cleanse away the sindoor that now feels like a heavy burden on her heart.
As she processes her emotions, Anjali receives another call from the mysterious lady, who again urges her to accept the gift. Anjali, feeling a mix of anger and desperation, questions the woman’s identity and asks if she knows Ramesh Bhai Patel, expressing her frustration that he is not answering her calls.
She recalls how Ramesh had once been a good ally in her fight for justice. Before Anjali can get any answers, the mysterious lady abruptly ends the call, leaving Anjali in a state of confusion.
In a moment of solidarity, Padma approaches Anjali and hands her the mangalsutra, urging her to keep it safe. Anjali, still grappling with the weight of the situation, agrees to hold onto it. She then decides to call Pankaj, sharing her concerns about the mysterious woman from the USA who has been harassing her.
Anjali also informs him that Ramesh Bhai Patel has come to Delhi and is looking into Aman’s death, which raises alarm bells for Pankaj. He asks how she found out about Ramesh’s visit, and Anjali explains that she learned he had gone to Vidyut’s police station. Pankaj, sensing the urgency, announces that he will go to meet Vidyut to discuss the matter further.
As the episode draws to a close, the tension builds around Anjali’s situation, leaving viewers eager to see how she will navigate the challenges ahead.
In the precap, Gaurav calls Anjali with alarming news: Abhay is planning to apply sindoor in Gini’s hairline, and in exchange, Gini is set to sign over her property to him. Gaurav warns Anjali that this is a conspiracy and pleads with her to come and rescue Gini from this manipulation.
The scene shifts to Abhay, who is seen filling Gini’s hairline with sindoor, preparing her to sign the divorce papers. Just as Gini is about to finalize the deal, Anjali arrives at the Rajput mansion, determined to stop the ceremony and protect Gini from Abhay’s deceitful intentions. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, heightening the anticipation for the next installment.
