The episode opens with Raghav firmly stating to Gaurav that Aarti will never set foot in their house. He expresses his frustration by recounting how Aarti has boldly challenged him, declaring that she will ensure Anjali receives her rightful place in this household. Furthermore, Aarti has vowed to uncover the truth behind Aman’s murder. Gaurav, upon hearing this, responds with enthusiasm, clapping for Aarti’s courage and determination. Raghav, taken aback by Gaurav’s reaction, questions whether he is genuinely applauding Aarti’s bravery. Gaurav affirms that he is indeed recognizing Aarti’s valor and makes a comment about her commendable spirit.
In a moment of resolve, Gaurav decides to reach out to Aarti and speak with her directly. However, Raghav quickly objects to this idea, clearly disapproving of any communication with Aarti. Gaurav, undeterred, remarks on Raghav’s apparent lack of compassion, contrasting it with his own willingness to support Aarti. He then proceeds to call Aarti using Anjali’s phone number.
Meanwhile, Aarti notices Anjali’s phone ringing and answers it. When Padma, who is nearby, inquires about the caller, Aarti reveals that it is someone named Gaurav. Padma explains to Aarti that Gaurav is the only member of the Rajput family who has consistently supported Anjali, likening him to Prahlaad—a figure known for his steadfastness in the face of adversity. Encouraged by this, Aarti answers the call.
Gaurav, on the other end of the line, asks Aarti who is speaking. She introduces herself as the daughter of Anjali and Aman. Gaurav is taken aback and asks Aarti if she is truly alive. Aarti confirms her existence and expresses her awareness of Gaurav’s unwavering support for Anjali over the years. Gaurav acknowledges this and engages in conversation with Aarti, who then inquires why he has not tried to contact her all these years. Gaurav explains that they were led to believe Aarti had died. This prompts Aarti to ask him who provided this information. Gaurav reveals that it was a nurse at the hospital who told him. When Aarti presses for the nurse’s name, Gaurav admits he does not know it but can provide the name of the hospital.
As their conversation progresses, Gaurav expresses a desire to meet Aarti. However, Raghav intervenes, taking the phone from Gaurav. He coldly informs Aarti that neither she nor Anjali has any place in their home. Raghav further taunts Aarti, stating he eagerly awaits the day she brings Anjali to court, curious to see how Anjali would defend herself, ultimately asserting that Anjali is dead. Angered by Raghav’s comments, Aarti retorts and abruptly ends the call.
After hanging up, Aarti turns to Padma, asking if she knows the name of the nurse who informed the Rajput family of her supposed death. Padma reveals that the nurse’s name is Sunita Sharma. Grateful for the information, Aarti prepares to leave, but Padma warns her that Sunita will not divulge anything, as she does not recognize Aarti. Determined, Aarti declares that she will go to the hospital disguised as Anjali Awasti. She apologizes to Anjali for assuming her identity in order to uncover the truth and sets off.
Aarti arrives at the hospital, cleverly disguised as Anjali and seated in a wheelchair, with the assistance of Pradeep. When Sunita approaches, she recognizes Aarti immediately and is shocked to hear Anjali speaking. Aarti confronts Sunita, demanding to know why she lied to the Rajput family about her daughter’s death. Sunita hesitates, asking Aarti if she can handle the truth. Aarti confidently asserts that she can. Sunita then reveals that it was Aarti’s father, Ganesh, who instructed her to deceive the Rajput family. He feared that if they learned the truth, they might harm Aarti as well.

Meanwhile, Yuvraj observes the chaos from a distance, plotting his next move as he contemplates how to pit the Rajput family against Aarti, planning to strike when the moment is right.
