In today’s episode, Rahi expresses her disbelief at Prathana’s commitment to protecting Gautam. Prem suggests that Prathana is simply afraid of Gautam, while Parag confesses that he is tolerating both Rahi and Anupama because of Prem’s influence.
Ansh encourages Prathana to stand up for herself. Gautam, feeling threatened, accuses Ansh of enticing Prathana, claiming that Ansh sent her to the room and followed her. Ansh responds, stating he was only there to retrieve some belongings. This leads to a heated confrontation, where Ansh is frustrated with Prathana for not asserting herself.
Baa criticizes the Shah family during this turmoil. Rahi urges Baa to empathize with Prathana, as she believes in Anupama’s intentions. However, Baa insists that Anupama is the reason they are facing ridicule from others.
Anupama argues that Prathana is under considerable pressure, but Parag is unconvinced. Prem declares that any consequences Prathana faces moving forward will be her own responsibility. He expresses regret for not having supported her sooner.
Baa offers an apology to Gautam, noting that no one dared to confront him until Anupama did. Gautam insists that Baa should not speak on Anupama’s behalf. Parag demands an apology from Anupama towards Gautam, but Anupama foresees that Parag will one day regret his lack of faith in her.
Faced with the ultimatum from Baa and Parag to apologize if she wants Rahi’s marriage to proceed, Anupama chooses to make amends for the sake of the wedding. Both Ansh and Anupama apologize to Gautam, leading Baa and Hasmukh to agree to continue with the wedding plans.
Emotional, Prathana reflects on her situation. Gautam reassures her that he views her as a saving grace for her family rather than an obligation. He asserts his determination to keep her close.
Separately, Meeta confronts Raja regarding his feelings for Ishani, warning him away from her in order to ensure a marriage to a well-off family. Ishani and Pakhi overhear this exchange, leaving Ishani elated.
Anupama advises Rahi to keep on schedule with the wedding rituals. In the backdrop of these events, Anupama dreams of a private birthday celebration with Anuj while the Shah family insists on celebrating her special day. Ultimately, Rahi expresses guilt over Anupama’s forced apology to Gautam, but Anupama counsels Rahi to handle Prathana’s situation with patience. She assures Rahi that Prathana will eventually take a stand. The episode concludes as Anupama emphasizes that Rahi should concentrate on her wedding.
