In today’s episode, Mahi questions Prem about whether he wants the onions sliced or chopped, but he brushes her off. Noticing Prem’s mood, Mahi asks him what’s bothering him, assuming it’s Rahi’s fault. Prem clarifies that his frustration stems from the Kotharis, not Rahi, whom he views as a problem solver. Curious about Rahi, Prem asks Jhanki for her whereabouts, learning that Rahi has gone to the temple. Jhanki then advises Mahi to focus on her own life, leaving Mahi taken aback.
Meanwhile, Khyati is anxious for Rahi to bring Prem back, urging her not to disclose their meeting to him. Shortly after, Prem arrives at the temple, where Khyati hides from his sight. He asks Rahi why she’s at the temple so early, and she replies it’s to pray for everyone’s well-being.
Back at home, Anil reassures Baa that he will speak to Prem and resolve the issues, but Baa doubts his ability. Meeta concurs, pointing out that even Baa hasn’t succeeded. Khyati interjects, expressing her faith that Rahi will be the one to win Prem back. Parag questions her certainty, warning that if Rahi tries to claim Prem for herself, it could lead to devastating consequences for both Anupama and Rahi.
Amidst this, Jhanki advises Anupama to take a break from Anu Ki Rasoi until after the wedding, but Anupama insists on continuing as it’s an essential part of their routine. Elsewhere, Vasundhara encourages Rahi to familiarize herself with their household and culture, asking Khyati to assist her.
Prem is shocked to learn that Baa has summoned Rahi. Anupama tries to calm him down, explaining that Baa only called Rahi for a private meeting. Angered, Prem decides to follow Rahi, while Anupama reassures him that it’s just Baa and Rahi. Khyati then shows Rahi to Prem’s room, asking for her input on the decor and urging her to persuade Prem to return.
Parag challenges Baa, questioning what will change by introducing Rahi to their home. Baa remains optimistic about the potential for change. In a surprising moment, Parag helps Rahi when she gets hiccups, indicating his support for her. Rahi later returns to Anupama and Prem, explaining that the Kotharis are skilled at fighting, and advises Prem to take charge of their business dealings. Dishearteningly, Prem states he plans to maintain distance after their marriage.
Anupama reminds Rahi to be considerate of Prem’s feelings alongside the Kotharis’. She encourages her to relish her first ritual. Anupama expresses concern about how Rahi and Prem’s initial custom will unfold, while Leela warns that they might appear unenthusiastic in front of the Kotharis, intensifying Anupama’s anxiety.
In a surprising development, Baa announces that the ritual will take place at the Kothari house, leaving the Shah family stunned.
In the precap, Baa insists that Hasmuk wash Prem’s feet, while Anupama resolves to take part in the ritual herself.
