In this episode, Prem is captivated by Rahi’s presence as they draw nearer. Suddenly, Rahi becomes anxious about getting ready. Prem reassures her to take it easy. Rahi feels elated when she finds out that Anupama has already prepared her sari and jewelry. Together, they decide to get ready.
Leela instructs Kinjal to get ready for Holi, while Anupama arrives home. Pari inquires about Anupama’s time in jail, and Leela quips that Pari should commit a crime to find out firsthand. Anupama downplays her experience, stating there was nothing remarkable about jail. Leela jokes that Anupama will now be serving meals to the criminals, to which Anupama replies that they will indeed be served on time.
Leela asks Anupama if Rahi and Prem are coming for Holika, to which Anupama says she invited them but hasn’t heard back from the Kotharis. Leela then checks if Anupama packed Rahi’s clothes, and Anupama insists she’s included outfits for Rahi’s everyday needs.
Rahi and Prem prepare themselves, and Rahi wishes to speak to Anupama, but Meeta interrupts. Rahi feels anxious about confronting the Kotharis. When they arrive, the Kotharis greet Rahi and Prem, but Vasundhara dismisses Rahi’s request to visit the Shah house. The guard hands Anil some letters, and Prem asks if there’s any for him or Rahi. Vasundhara contemplates destroying one of the letters and insists that Rahi conduct the veneration.
Rahi apologizes to Vasundhara for missing the previous day’s ritual, while Baa urges her to get ready for today’s ceremony.
Anupama runs into Hasmuk and feels startled. Hasmuk inquires why, and Anupama shares her encounter with Raghav, prompting Hasmuk to encourage her. Anupama admits that Raghav has made a significant impression on her, leading to further discussion between them.
The women question Rahi about her education, family, and background, noting that Vasundhara didn’t send them an invitation for the wedding. One lady comments on how Vasundhara boasted about Prem’s wedding. Prem defends Rahi’s honor, while Meeta and Khyati plan fun activities for Rahi.
Rahi is challenged to arrange plates without dropping them. Badshah and Rani engage in conversation, as the Shahs enjoy participating in Rahi’s ritual at the Kothari home. Anupama tells Ansh, Pari, and Ishani to end their video call, happy to see Rahi.
Anupama takes delight in Rahi’s ritual, which Rahi successfully completes. Vasundhara organizes the “Akebi Beki” ritual with Prem and Rahi, directing Prem to find the ring before Rahi. Prem opts to deliberately lose. The ritual unfolds, but Vasundhara catches on to Prem’s trickery, feeling offended.
With a lighthearted comment, Prem jokes about being henpecked. Anupama thinks that Prem’s constant praise of Rahi may aggravate Vasundhara even further.
Precap: The Shahs and Kotharis come together to celebrate Holi. Raghav yells that he’s not a murderer, leaving Anupama stunned.
