The episode opens with Raghav and Chandraman engaged in a tense discussion. Raghav, exuding confidence, inquires about the matter that Chandraman wishes to address. He reassures him that their victory in the ongoing conflict is all but guaranteed. However, Chandraman, while acknowledging Raghav’s capabilities, expresses his concerns regarding their formidable opponent: Anjali. He warns that she is not one to back down easily, especially given her fierce determination. Raghav counters this by reminding Chandraman that Anjali has now become the daughter-in-law of the Rajput family, a role that will compel her to go to great lengths for Mehek, whom she sees as her responsibility.
Meanwhile, Padma approaches Anjali, her expression filled with worry. She implores Anjali to reconsider her course of action, indicating that the stakes are high. Anjali, undeterred, urges Padma to view their situation as a war, with the entire Rajput family on one side and Anjali standing alone on the other. She passionately explains that she is trying to make Mehek understand the importance of fighting back and not surrendering without a struggle. Drawing a parallel to the epic Mahabharat, Anjali reminds Padma that even Yudhishthir, a figure of integrity, resorted to deception to secure victory in battle. She insists that if it means protecting Mehek, she too is willing to bend the truth.
Back in the office, Raghav confronts Chandraman about the implications of his threats. He points out that Chandraman is endangering his own daughter in his pursuit of winning the case against Anjali. Chandraman, however, clarifies that his threats are directed at Anjali, not Raghav. He reveals that Yuvraj plans to attend the Haldi ceremony with a few friends, and he expects Anjali to extend a formal invitation to them, metaphorically “with folded hands.” Raghav responds with caution, questioning why Yuvraj would want to provoke Anjali, whom he describes as a “sleeping lioness.” Chandraman recalls the incident when Anjali publicly confronted Yuvraj, exposing his criminal activities. He warns Raghav that Anjali needs to understand the consequences of her actions once the marriage to Yuvraj is finalized. Chandraman insists that Raghav should advise Anjali to invite Yuvraj and his friends into the Rajput mansion with the utmost respect.
As the tension escalates, Anjali shares her frustrations with Padma, expressing her belief that Yuvraj will seize any opportunity to humiliate her. She emphasizes her duty to save Mehek from a fate she deems unacceptable. Padma, caught between her loyalties, questions where Anjali’s own duties lie. Anjali counters by reminding Padma that while her obligations may be towards Yuvraj, she has already participated in the Gruh Pravesh ritual and spent time at the Thakur mansion. She firmly states that if Padma follows her instructions precisely, they can prevent Mehek from marrying Yuvraj. Padma, sensing the gravity of the situation, asks for some time to consider Anjali’s request.
In a moment of reluctant agreement, Raghav concedes to Chandraman’s demands, but not without a stern warning. He insists that Chandraman must prioritize Mehek’s happiness within his household. Raghav makes it clear that he has placed his own daughter at risk in this endeavor, and if she is unhappy, there will be severe repercussions. He reminds Chandraman of his identity as Raghav Singh Rajput before leaving the room, leaving Chandraman to contemplate the implications of the impending marriage.
Anjali, determined and resolute, turns to Padma, reminding her of their longstanding alliance. She questions whether Padma will abandon her now when she needs support the most. Padma, moved by Anjali’s plea, ultimately agrees to assist her. Anjali expresses her gratitude, knowing that she has secured an ally in this critical moment. As they prepare for the next steps, Sapna approaches Anjali, curious about her plans. Anjali reveals that she is gearing up for a strategic strike, mentioning that the Haldi ceremony for Yuvraj and Mehek is tomorrow. She believes that Yuvraj and his friends are underestimating her capabilities, unaware of the plans she has meticulously crafted.
The scene shifts to the Rajput family, who are immersed in the joyous celebration of Mehek’s Haldi ceremony. The atmosphere is vibrant, with the Rajput ladies dancing merrily to a festive tune, embodying the spirit of the occasion. Laughter and music fill the air, contrasting sharply with the underlying tension that Anjali is plotting to disrupt.
**Precap:** As the episode draws to a close, Anjali is seen dressing Padma in bridal attire, preparing to take her to the wedding venue of Yuvraj and Mehek. However, their plans are thwarted when Chandraman’s goons intercept Anjali, creating a cliffhanger that leaves viewers anxious about what will happen next.
