In today’s episode, Anil encourages Parag, while Neeta urges Anil to emulate Parag instead of simply praising him. Anil responds by asking Neeta not to spoil the festival and tells her to be quiet. Neeta retorts that no one dares speak up in front of Moti Baa, who gives her a stern look. Meanwhile, Parag confidently flies his kite, joined by Anupama, who also participates in the fun. Rahi prompts Anupama to cut the tiger kite, and Anil advises Parag to maintain balance with his kite.
Prem reaches out to Rahi, inquiring about her whereabouts, and she informs him that they’re at Kothari mansion. Moti Baa instructs Khyati to hold the kite’s thread, commenting that a wife should know how to tease her husband. At that moment, Prem questions Anupama about whom she’s competing against, but Rahi admits they aren’t sure. The sight of the tiger kite stirs memories for Prem, leading Parag to express his longing for him. Moti Baa reassures everyone that Prem will return soon, although Parag believes he left without notice and won’t come back easily.
Anil continues to advise Parag on his kite-flying, and when Anupama inadvertently cuts Parag’s kite, she is stunned to realize what she has done. The crowd is shocked that it’s the first time anyone has defeated Parag’s kite. Anupama tries to explain that she was simply trying to entertain Rahi. In a twist, Parag asks Anil to reward Anupama, but refuses to eat her cooking. Gautam tells Anupama to leave, prompting Rahi to defend her and express her intolerance for Gautam’s rudeness. Anupama urges Rahi to back off, while Parag sides with Gautam.
In a tense exchange, Parag tries to give Anupama money, which she declines, insisting on respecting the food instead. She questions what wrong she committed, to which Parag claims she attempted to compete outside her league and disrespected Moti Baa. Anupama counters, stating that Parag’s true grievance is pride wounded by the kite’s defeat. Their argument escalates, with both challenging each other’s patience, and Anupama declaring that she no longer wishes to associate with the Kotharis.
As the drama unfolds, Prem returns home, and Mahi eagerly welcomes him. Paritosh speculates that the Kotharis may have been impressed by Anupama’s cooking and might have rewarded her. Anupama and Rahi come back to find the Shahs questioning what transpired.
Paritosh confronts Anupama about the altercation with the Kotharis, but she asks him to stop lecturing. Rahi supports Anupama, criticizing the Kotharis’ arrogance, while Paritosh suggests that the wealthy are often indifferent and need to be handled carefully. Ultimately, the Shahs place the blame on Anupama, concluding the episode.
**Precap:** Anupama and Rahi stand firm in refusing to work for Parag, and they are taken aback when Prem’s true identity is revealed.
