In today’s episode, the tension within the Shah household escalates as Hasmuk confronts Mahi about her actions. He accuses her of lying to Anupama and forcing her into a situation that has caused unnecessary strife. Hasmuk questions Mahi’s motives, expressing disbelief that Anupama would support her given the circumstances. He firmly tells Mahi that it is time for her to stop troubling Anupama, stating that since she chose to marry despite the ongoing family disputes, she should now be prepared to face the consequences on her own. Hasmuk insists that both Mahi and Aryan should return to the Kothari house, emphasizing the need for peace in their home.
Paritosh echoes Hasmuk’s sentiments, urging Mahi to leave so that the family can regain a sense of normalcy. Pakhi, Pari, and Ishani join in, encouraging Mahi to go back to the Kothari house. However, Mahi stands her ground, adamantly refusing to leave without Anupama. She articulates her feelings, stating that while Anupama constantly fights for everyone else, she struggles to take a stand for herself. Mahi declares her intention to remain at the Shah house, asserting her right to be there. Pakhi reminds Mahi of Kavya’s departure and how the family has raised her, implying that Mahi should be grateful. Paritosh interjects, pointing out that their home is not a refuge for someone who refuses to take responsibility for their choices. Mahi responds defiantly, insisting that even if the Shah family does not support her, Anupama must take a stand for her.
Meanwhile, Parag and Vasundhara discuss the fallout from Anupama’s attempts to mediate Prarthana and Gautam’s divorce, which ultimately did not succeed. Rahi passionately defends Anupama, recognizing her efforts to help others despite the challenges she faces. As the tension mounts, Anupama, accompanied by Mahi and Aryan, arrives at the Kothari household. The Kothari family is taken aback upon learning about Mahi and Aryan’s marriage, leading to a flurry of questions and accusations. Rahi questions Anupama’s involvement in the marriage, prompting Anupama to explain that Mahi had threatened her, which led to her compliance.
Back at the Shah house, Hasmuk and Leela express their concerns for Anupama’s well-being. Leela remarks on Anupama’s tendency to be manipulated by her children, fearing that the Kotharis may not believe her side of the story. Parag, adamant about his disapproval of Mahi and Aryan’s union, orders Aryan to go to his room. However, Aryan stands firm, refusing to leave Mahi’s side. Vasundhara presses Anupama for clarity on why she didn’t inform them about the marriage earlier, to which Anupama responds that Mahi had taken her phone, hindering her ability to communicate.
Vasundhara, frustrated, shifts the blame onto Anupama for the marriage, while Aryan insists on staying with Mahi, rejecting his mother’s attempts to separate them. Parag warns Aryan against emotional manipulation, but Khyati sides with Mahi and Aryan, expressing her support for their relationship.
At the Shah house, Pakhi expresses her worries about Ishani and her future, prompting Kinjal to advise her to stop pressuring Ishani into marrying Raja. Kinjal comforts Pakhi, voicing her concerns for both Ishani and Pari’s futures. Khyati declares her inability to live without Aryan, and Parag responds by telling her that if she wishes, she can leave with him.
Vasundhara continues to voice her apprehensions regarding Mahi’s background, questioning how Anupama expects the Kothari family to accept the marriage. Parag gives Aryan an ultimatum: he must either leave Mahi or accompany her, but Aryan resolutely refuses to abandon her. Khyati accuses Anupama of causing her to lose Aryan for the second time, heightening the tension in the room.
In a pivotal moment, Anupama intervenes, stopping Mahi and Aryan from leaving. She takes a stand for them, explaining the circumstances that led to Mahi marrying Aryan. Anupama urges the Kotharis to reconsider their position and suggests that they temporarily separate Aryan and Mahi until a more informed decision can be made. Aryan agrees to this arrangement, demonstrating his willingness to compromise for the sake of family harmony. Khyati appeals to Parag, asking him to accept Aryan and Mahi.
Later, Anupama informs the Shah family that Parag has tentatively accepted Aryan and Mahi’s alliance. However, the Shahs remain skeptical, fearing that the Kotharis might change their minds. Anupama reassures them, expressing her confidence that the Kothari family loves Aryan and will not retract their decision. Mahi, feeling remorseful, apologizes to Anupama for her past actions. Anupama warns her not to betray Aryan and to refrain from causing further trouble in Prem and Rahi’s married life.
**Precap:** Vasundhara expresses her concerns to Rahi, warning her to be cautious of Anupama’s influence, fearing it may have negative repercussions for their family. Meanwhile, Raghav grapples with his growing feelings for Anupama, which seem to transcend mere friendship. Vasundhara cautions Rahi, predicting that one day Raghav might attempt to take Anuj’s place in Anupama’s life, foreshadowing potential conflicts ahead.
