The episode opens with a tense atmosphere as Chandrabhan delivers a menacing warning to Editor Laal. He threatens Laal to keep Aarti away from the women trafficking case, implying dire consequences for both Aarti and Laal’s office if she becomes involved. After making his threat clear, he departs in his car, leaving Laal visibly shaken.
In a separate scene, Aarti confides in Anjali about the threats she has received from Chandrabhan. Determined to take action, she expresses her intent to expose him on social media once she obtains his photograph, vowing to end his nefarious activities. Meanwhile, Sapna, overhearing the conversation, is taken aback when Aarti reveals that the man threatening her is none other than Chandrabhan Thakur.
Concerned for her daughter’s safety, Sapna contacts Ganesh, urging him to arrange Aarti’s marriage as soon as possible and send her away to protect her from Chandrabhan. Aarti, puzzled by her mother’s sudden fear, questions why Sapna is so worried about Chandrabhan. In an emotional response, Sapna reveals her deep-seated fears, stemming from the loss of one daughter, and expresses her determination not to lose Aarti as well. She decides to arrange Aarti’s marriage into the Rajvanshi family, cursing those responsible for Anjali’s current condition. Ganesh agrees to her plan and leaves with Padma to start making the necessary arrangements.
Aarti, sensing the urgency and change in her mother’s demeanor, grows suspicious and begins to wonder if there is more to the story than what she knows. To uncover the truth, she seeks out Editor Laal to inquire about Chandrabhan. Laal explains that Chandrabhan was once a politician who fell from grace due to corruption, though the full details of his downfall remain murky. He advises Aarti to concentrate on the human trafficking investigation, suggesting that she travel to Uttar Pradesh where the case is currently active, believing this will significantly boost their television ratings.
Later, Aarti prepares to leave home under the pretense of taking her mother for a medical check-up. Subsequently, Ganesh, Sapna, and Aarti take Anjali to the hospital for her appointment. During this visit, a nurse mistakenly refers to Aarti as their granddaughter, prompting Ganesh to confirm this while mentioning that Aarti was believed to have been stillborn. This revelation shocks Aarti and raises numerous questions in her mind about her past.
As Anjali is called for her check-up, Aarti accompanies her into the doctor’s office. There, the nurse who had saved Aarti in her childhood recognizes her and asks if Aarti is still unaware of the truth about her origins. Ganesh intervenes, insisting that the nurse keep this information confidential, to which she reluctantly agrees.
Coincidentally, Raghav, Abhay, and Sarika arrive at the same hospital. Upon spotting Ganesh and Sapna, Raghav approaches them. When Ganesh inquires about their presence, Sarika explains that Raghav has come for a check-up due to chest pain. Abhay, seizing the opportunity, mocks Ganesh by suggesting that they cannot afford such a hospital, to which Ganesh responds with indignation. Despite the tension, Abhay continues to taunt him before walking away.
Amidst the unfolding drama, Ganesh silently prays that neither Abhay nor Raghav notices Aarti, hoping to shield her from any potential confrontation. Raghav, in a moment of reflection, tells Ganesh that Anjali seems to be living a lifeless existence, suggesting that her life lacks meaning.
In the precap, Ganesh shares a poignant moment with Savi, showing her a photo while mentioning that it is Aman’s barsi, or death anniversary. He inquires if she remembers anything about Aman. Just then, Aarti enters the room and questions the significance of the photo, setting the stage for further revelations and emotional turmoil.
