Raghav struggles with his mouth organ, thinking it’s broken, until Anupama gifts him a new one, explaining she originally bought it for herself but wants him to have it. Raghav, unused to receiving gifts, hesitates, but Anupama—an artist who values music—encourages him. They agree to exchange skills: he will teach her the mouth organ, and she will teach him dance. When Raghav plays for her, Anupama is reminded of Mahi. Noticing her stress, Raghav gently encourages her to relax, and she confesses her confusion over Mahi and Rahi, and her hurt from Vasundhara’s constant disapproval.
As society begins gossiping about Anupama and Raghav, speculating about a third marriage, Anupama chooses to ignore the noise and focus on learning the mouth organ. Rahi confronts Anupama, questioning her relationship with Raghav and casting doubts on her character. Anupama, hurt but composed, defends her friendship with Raghav as she once did with Yashdeep, refusing to bend under societal pressure.
Leela and Paritosh question what she would do if Raghav fell for her. Anupama firmly responds that if she ever finds anything inappropriate, she will end the friendship—but not because of baseless assumptions. She emphasizes that Raghav listens without judgment and brings her peace, unlike her own family. Rahi admits they’re not enemies but still doesn’t trust Raghav. Anupama asks her to trust her instead.
Elsewhere, Raja wants to record a video to impress Ishani, but Anil insists they consider others. Meanwhile, Rahi and Prem choose to celebrate with silence. Back home, Anupama attempts to play the mouth organ when she finds Prarthana crying. Concerned, she asks what’s wrong. Despite Leela’s insistence on sending Prarthana away, Anupama stands her ground, fearing that stubbornness could spark conflict between the Shahs and the Kotharis.
Precap: Gautam reveals that Prarthana walked away from their relationship because he expressed his desire to become a father. Anupama, refusing to believe his version of events, accuses him of lying and defends Prarthana, who stuns Gautam by expressing her wish to divorce him.
