In today’s episode, Vasundhara expresses her regret about marrying into the Shah family. Anupama advises her not to blame the relationship for the absence of the sacred mat and reassures her that she will do her best to find it. Gautam doubts Anupama’s chances, stating that while lost items can sometimes be found, stolen ones rarely are. Vasundhara distrusts everyone, particularly criticizes Jhanki for acting like a family member despite being staff. Jhanki defends herself, and Anupama insists that she and the other staff are considered family members.
Vasundhara demands that Gautam call the police, but Anupama cautions that involving the police will negatively impact both families. Vasundhara insists only the Shahs will be affected and also criticizes Rahi. Anupama boldly stands up for Rahi in response.
Anil unexpectedly reveals that he has the sacred mat, shocking Vasundhara. He apologizes to Anupama for not having informed her sooner. Vasundhara then asks Anupama to prepare for Rahi’s vidai (farewell ceremony). In a surprising gesture, Anupama apologizes to Jhanki on Vasundhara’s behalf, leaving Vasundhara taken aback.
Rahi expresses her concerns about adjusting to life with the Kotharis, and Anupama comforts her. Rahi remarks on how Anupama appears different, to which Anupama gently responds that Rahi is the one who has changed since getting married. Anupama hands Rahi the house key, assuring her of her lasting connection to her home. To symbolize her love, Anupama gifts Rahi a handkerchief for emergencies and some kajal.
Leela asks Anupama to get ready for Rahi’s farewell. Meanwhile, Vasundhara chastises Anil, and Ishani overhears their conversation, worrying Parag that she might tell Anupama. Vasundhara reassures him, stating that Ishani won’t divulge anything because she is selfish like Pakhi.
Ishani confides in Pakhi about what she heard from Vasundhara and Parag. Pakhi advises her to stay silent to maintain favor with the Kotharis. Although Ishani feels sympathy for Rahi, Pakhi believes Rahi is clever enough to navigate her new life.
As the farewell approaches, Ansh feels restless and is comforted by Prem. Rahi participates in a farewell ritual with Leela’s assistance. Prem requests Anupama to stay with Rahi until her vidai. Leela reminds Anupama about the preparations for Rahi’s farewell, but Prem hints that one important ritual remains.
In a surprising turn, Rahi and Prem celebrate Anupama’s birthday. The Kothari family is taken aback when they learn that Prem organized the celebration. Anupama joyfully participates in her birthday celebration, while Khyati remarks to Meeta that only children’s birthdays are typically celebrated in the Kothari household, asserting that everyone deserves a special day.
Prem decides to address Anupama as “Mother,” prompting Vasundhara to insist that Anupama proceed with the vidai ritual.
In the preview, Anupama receives a call from the central jail and meets Raghav, whose behavior leaves her shocked.
In summary, today’s episode weaves together themes of family dynamics, personal growth, and the significance of tradition. The interactions around Rahi’s vidai and Anupama’s birthday celebration highlight the evolving relationships and emotional undercurrents within the Kothari and Shah families.
