In today’s episode, the atmosphere is filled with nostalgia as Leela and Hasmukh come together to share their heartfelt love story. Hasmukh begins by recounting how his mother was never in favor of Leela becoming his daughter-in-law. Despite this opposition, Leela proudly asserts that she ultimately became his wife, a testament to their enduring bond. Hasmukh fondly recalls the playful yet fiery arguments between Leela and Moti Baa, often finding himself in the middle, trying to mediate peace between the two strong-willed women. To win Leela’s heart, Hasmukh would serenade her with songs, a charming gesture that never failed to make her smile.
As the Shah family gathers around, they encourage Hasmukh to sing one of those romantic songs. With a twinkle in his eye, Hasmukh obliges, and soon, the living room is filled with music and laughter as he and Leela dance together, surrounded by the joyous Shah family. Anupama, watching this beautiful moment unfold, quietly prays to God, asking for everlasting happiness for the Shahs, her heart swelling with love for the family she has come to cherish.
Meanwhile, Raghav approaches Anupama with a glass of water, sensing her emotional state. Anupama expresses her deep-rooted fear of losing the Shah family, emphasizing that, despite their frequent squabbles, they always come together in times of need. She passionately asserts that no one should have the power to take away their happiness. Raghav listens intently, reassuring her that their bond is strong and that they will face any challenges together.
In a parallel storyline, Aryan grapples with his inner demons, battling withdrawal symptoms as he succumbs to the temptation of drugs. He sits in solitude, contemplating whether to confess his struggles to Mahi, but the fear of judgment holds him back. Just then, Rahi calls out to him, and Aryan quickly concocts an excuse about suffering from food poisoning. Concerned for his well-being, Rahi and Prem decide to take him to the doctor, but Aryan is filled with dread at the thought of the doctor revealing the truth about his health.
As the episode progresses, a sudden twist occurs when Meeta meets with an accident, adding to the tension within the Kothari family. Vasundhara, still opposed to the upcoming wedding, voices her disapproval, creating friction among family members. However, Parag and Khyati remain resolute, continuing their preparations for the wedding. Meeta shares her excitement with Anil, mentioning that Khyati is eager to shine on her special day, but the underlying tension in the family is palpable.
Meanwhile, Rahi and Prem have their own worries about Aryan. When they consult the doctor, they receive the news that Aryan is indeed suffering from food poisoning. Aryan, relieved yet anxious, thanks the doctor for covering for him. However, the doctor takes this opportunity to advise Aryan to quit drugs, emphasizing the harmful effects on both his health and society. Aryan pleads with the doctor to keep his secret safe until he can find the strength to overcome his addiction.
At the Kothari house, tensions rise further as Anupama visits with Kinjal and Paritosh. Vasundhara immediately questions their presence, and Anupama stands firm, insisting that Vasundhara accept the money Kinjal took from their company. Vasundhara, with a mocking tone, taunts Anupama about the money, suggesting that it could be better spent on charitable causes or for Mahi’s marriage. Gautam, caught in the middle, decides to count the money, while Vasundhara insists he does so meticulously, adding to the mounting pressure.
Kinjal, feeling guilty for the troubles her actions have caused, expresses her regret for Anupama’s suffering. Later, a heated argument erupts between Vasundhara and Anupama. Anupama passionately defends Kinjal, stating that while she made a mistake, she is not a criminal. She highlights the fact that Kinjal and Raghav secured a lucrative three-year contract for Anu Ki Rasoi, showcasing their hard work and dedication. Vasundhara, however, accuses Anupama of siding with a thief and a criminal, but Anupama remains steadfast in her support for her family.
Meanwhile, Raghav finds himself lost in thought, reflecting on his feelings for Anupama. Confusion clouds his mind as he grapples with his emotions. Vasundhara, sensing his distraction, confronts Anupama, questioning whether she intends to spend time with Raghav during the wedding festivities. Anupama defends her friendship with Raghav, but Vasundhara criticizes her, warning that their relationship could lead to complications.
In a moment of clarity, Aryan decides that it’s time to quit drugs for good. Simultaneously, Raghav, still unsure about his feelings, resolves to have an honest conversation with Anupama. As fate would have it, Anupama unexpectedly bumps into Raghav. Their eyes meet, and an unspoken connection lingers in the air.
Vasundhara, ever the instigator, instructs Rahi to make Anupama understand the potential dangers of her friendship with Raghav, warning her that he might replace Anuj in her life. Prem, frustrated by Vasundhara’s negativity, urges her to stop, but she insists that her predictions will eventually come true. Rahi, protective of Anupama, asserts that Raghav cannot come close to her.
Anupama, sensing the tension, turns to Raghav and asks if he has something on his mind. However, Raghav, caught off guard, makes an excuse, leaving both of them with unresolved feelings.
As the episode concludes, the stage is set for further drama and revelations.
