In today’s episode, Anupama finds herself missing Anuj deeply as she reminisces about their first Valentine’s Day together. She speaks from her heart, expressing her love for him and recalling how Anuj once promised to grow old with her. Conflicted, she wonders why he broke that promise and resolves to confront him the next time they meet. Filled with longing, Anupama acknowledges that Anuj is always with her in spirit, yet she still feels betrayed and yearns for his return.
Meanwhile, Rahi asks Prem why they are visiting their new flat. Prem explains that they need to become accustomed to the place before their wedding. Rahi reflects on Khyati’s request and inquires if Prem would stand by her even during disagreements in their future. Prem reassures Rahi of his unwavering support, even in the face of conflict. Just then, Anupama calls Rahi, prompting her to decide to return home.
Anupama prays for guidance, especially as the Kotharis are visiting for the first time since the alliance was announced. The Shah family eagerly prepares to welcome their guests. Hasmukh helps Leela dye her hair, while Pakhi questions Anupama about the arrangements. She expresses doubts about whether they can meet the Kotharis’ standards, suggesting there’s no point in hosting them if they can’t go all out. Anupama calmly responds that they’re not in competition with the Kotharis and will arrange things according to their means. On a parallel note, Leela’s neighbor expresses her support for Rahi’s marriage, mentioning that Vasundhara Kothari is a friend of hers.
Rahi and Prem are excited to see each other and discuss how their lives will change after their alliance. At the same time, Raja and Ishani are conversing, with Ishani visibly frustrated with Raja. Kinjal discovers that Pakhi is trying to push Ishani to get closer to Raja and confronts her about it. Pakhi insists she isn’t doing anything wrong, but Kinjal urges her to consider the consequences. Pakhi dismisses Kinjal’s concerns by telling her to focus on Pari’s weight issues instead and requests that she keep Anupama out of the loop, to which Kinjal argues that Anupama will likely find out anyway.
Parag asks Baa if his presence at lunch is necessary, and Baa insists it’s important to ensure Anupama can manage the catering. Later, the Shahs warmly welcome the Kotharis, and Anupama invites them to join in a prayer. As Prem searches for Rahi, Baa hands Anupama a list, prompting Prem to inquire about its contents. Anupama questions why he feels the need to know everything, while Pari encourages Prem to connect with Rahi. Rahi and Prem then spend some quality time together.
**Precap:** Rahi sends a message to Pari to deliver to Prem, but when Parag receives it, he becomes furious.
