In today’s episode, excitement fills the air as Prem shares the news of his diploma admission. Rahi beams with joy, thrilled at the prospect of attending college with him, and their families, including Anupama and the Shahs, share in their happiness. However, Baa is taken aback by the news. The mood shifts when Parag reveals that an attempted burglary occurred at their home. Leela chimes in, reiterating her warning about displaying their diamonds in the showcase. Parag mentions that there have been previous attempts by thieves that were thwarted, leading him to decide that they should stay elsewhere for safety. Baa refuses to go to the hotel, but Hasmuk insists that the Kotharis should remain for a while, suggesting it would offer both families some quality time together.
Hasmuk notices Anupama’s restlessness and asks her about it. She expresses her desire for the meeting with the Kotharis to end smoothly, hoping for no drama. He encourages her to calm her nerves. Meanwhile, Ishani and Raja enjoy each other’s company; Raja playfully asks for a kiss, but Ishani shyly declines. Their moment is interrupted when Pari spots them and confronts Ishani. Ishani tells Pari to keep her distance and avoid complicating matters, insisting that she is free to date anyone, unlike Pari, whom she calls a loser. Pari retorts that Ishani will regret her choices after facing betrayal. Meanwhile, Prem enjoys quality time with Rahi.
Anupama decides to prepare tea, enlisting the help of Anil, while Mahi joins in, insisting her feelings are valid despite Anupama’s reservations. Khyati also offers her assistance, and while discussing Rahi’s rapid maturation, Anupama contemplates her daughter’s future and wedding. Khyati reassures Anupama that she will build a strong bond with Rahi and expresses hope that Rahi’s connection with Prem will bring them closer together as well.
Parag expresses gratitude to Anupama for her support, acknowledging that it was Prem’s influence that led them to stay longer. Prem quips that Parag had no other choice. Rahi is taken aback by their banter, while Pari senses the rising tension and urges Rahi to ease the awkwardness between the families.
To lighten the mood, Rahi and Prem encourage both families to play cricket, but Parag declines to join in. Amidst this, Rahi and Prem attempt to get closer, but Anupama spots them and playfully reminds them to wait until marriage. Prem boldly asks Rahi for a kiss, causing both to feel awkward when Parag unexpectedly catches sight of them.
Khyati encourages Rahi to persuade Parag to participate in the game, but he continues to refuse. Prem becomes offended when Rahi’s efforts seem to irritate Parag. Ultimately, the Kotharis and Shahs join in a cricket match, but tensions rise when Khyati outs Rahi during play, leading to further strains. Meanwhile, Pakhi is shocked to discover that Meeta is on the verge of arranging a marriage for Raja.
**Precap:** Anupama is left stunned when she learns about the romantic feelings between Ishani and Raja, and Baa reacts with offense.
