The episode opens with Anjali engaged in a heartfelt conversation with Mehek over the phone. Anjali expresses her unwavering commitment to Aarti’s happiness, stating that she is prepared to do anything to ensure it. Mehek, supportive and encouraging, reassures Anjali, emphasizing the importance of her intentions.
Suddenly, Pankaj calls Anjali, inquiring whether Gini has arrived at the court with Padma. Anjali responds negatively, expressing her concern that without Padma’s presence, they will not be able to prove their case. She reveals her willingness to forfeit the case if it means protecting Aarti’s interests, lamenting that Aarti harbors hatred towards her, a sentiment that deeply troubles Anjali. Pankaj comforts her, assuring her that Padma will indeed show up.
The scene shifts as Raghav takes the phone from Anjali, speaking to Pankaj. He warns Pankaj that if he hands over Damodar, he risks suspension and makes a disparaging remark about the situation. Pankaj, unperturbed, instructs Raghav to focus on his own case while he will manage Damodar’s situation.
Meanwhile, the Rajput family is busy preparing Aarti for her wedding, with Gaurav serenading her with a song. However, Sadhika watches from a distance, visibly upset by the unfolding events.
Raghav then confronts Anjali, asserting that she will be powerless to change the outcome and that Padma will never make it to the Mandap. He insists that Kali will be recognized as Ved’s lawful wife, ensuring that Aarti will never have a chance with him. Raghav taunts Anjali, claiming she will witness Aarti’s suffering without Ved. He also blames Anjali for Aman’s death, which prompts Anjali to retort that she too mourns Aman’s loss, not just him.
Pankaj calls Anjali again, seeking any updates. She informs him that there are none, and Pankaj urges her to take action as Damodar’s men are actively searching for him. He warns that if Damodar is caught, his life is in danger. Anjali agrees to help.
In a tense moment, Anjali contacts Gini, informing her that she only has five minutes before she cannot guarantee Damodar’s safety. Gini ominously replies that she will die by the end of the ordeal. Anjali, concerned, asks Gini where she is, to which Gini reveals she is right behind her.
Gini warns Anjali that five sharpshooters have surrounded the area and advises her against making any rash moves. She demands that Anjali abandon Damodar in exchange for Padma’s safety. Anjali, under pressure, calls Pankaj to relay Gini’s ultimatum. Pankaj reluctantly agrees to let Damodar go, stating he will still be at gunpoint. Gini instructs Anjali to remind Pankaj that both Padma and Anjali are also at risk. Pankaj tells Damodar he can leave, but Damodar threatens to kill him as he prepares to depart.
As the tension heightens, Padma approaches Anjali and embraces her. Meanwhile, Damodar escapes in a car, leaving the scene.
Gini confirms that Damodar is safe and orders the sharpshooters to commence firing. Anjali, realizing the imminent danger, grabs Padma and they flee, while Kali watches the chaos unfold.
Kali, feeling betrayed by Anjali for bringing Padma to court, vows to take revenge, believing Anjali is sabotaging her chances of winning the case.
Suddenly, goons attack Anjali and Padma. Anjali fights back fiercely, attempting to escape with Padma, but the goons manage to surround them. Despite the overwhelming odds, Anjali continues to battle them.
Raghav, witnessing the unfolding chaos, questions Anjali’s humanity, to which Anjali defiantly responds that she is ready to give him a chance to win. She declares that she would find happiness in losing if it means Aarti can finally have her love.
Sadhika, concerned, calls Raghav to ask what has transpired. He informs her that Padma has arrived, shocking Sadhika.
In a panic, Sadhika contacts Yuvraj to relay the news about Padma’s arrival. Yuvraj, equally astonished, decides that he must eliminate Padma once and for all to resolve the situation.
**Precap:** Sadhika asks Aarti if she plans to proceed with Abhay and Anjali’s wedding after her own. Aarti responds with a comment that leaves Sadhika pondering.
