In today’s emotionally charged episode, we find Raghav sitting quietly, his demeanor revealing a sense of inner turmoil. Anupama, sensing something is amiss, gently probes him, asking if he wishes to share what’s on his mind. Raghav, however, dismisses her concern, asserting that he has nothing to share and nothing weighing on his heart. Anupama, undeterred, expresses her suspicion that Raghav may want to discuss the Kotharis, a topic that seems to linger in the air between them. Raghav firmly insists that he does not wish to talk about the Kotharis and reassures Anupama of his trust in her. Anupama feels a wave of relief wash over her at Raghav’s words, grateful for the bond of trust they share.
Meanwhile, Mahi and Aryan are caught up in a dreamy conversation, envisioning their future wedding. Mahi expresses her desire to be a good wife, daughter-in-law, and a cherished daughter to Anupama. Their sweet moment is interrupted by Rahi, who reminds them to temper their excitement for a few days. She then instructs Aryan to select his clothes for the upcoming events, mentioning that Vasundhara is looking for him, which adds a layer of urgency to their preparations.
Anupama takes the initiative to ask Raghav to sit down with Kinjal to finalize the menu for their new contract, showcasing her leadership and organizational skills. Prem arrives and offers his apologies to Anupama on behalf of Vasundhara, who has recently caused her distress. Raghav’s expression changes when he learns about Vasundhara’s hurtful words, and Anupama quickly tells Prem not to apologize for Vasundhara’s behavior. Curious, Raghav asks Anupama what Vasundhara said, prompting Prem to apologize to Raghav for the actions of his family. Raghav is impressed by Prem’s sincerity and his promise to always stand by Raghav’s side, leading him to express that Prem is perfect for Rahi.
Prem offers to assist Anupama with the catering arrangements, but she politely declines, urging him to return home and manage things there. She then turns her attention back to Raghav, encouraging him to discuss and plan the best food options for the Kotharis’ celebration.
In the Kothari household, preparations for Aryan’s wedding are in full swing. Badshah and Raja share a light-hearted moment, teasing Aryan about the upcoming nuptials. However, the atmosphere shifts when Parag confronts Vasundhara about her unfounded accusations against Anupama. He tells her that her behavior is excessive and reminds her that Anupama is family. Vasundhara, acknowledging her lack of control over her anger, admits her mistakes. Parag reinforces the importance of maintaining a respectful relationship, especially since Prem has gone to apologize to Anupama. He warns Vasundhara that disparaging Anupama will only upset both Prem and Aryan.
As the conversation shifts, Vasundhara expresses regret about Rahi and Mahi not having a supportive family to celebrate with, revealing a moment of vulnerability amidst her frustrations. Meanwhile, Gautam questions the strength of Anupama and Raghav’s bond, prompting Parag to redirect Gautam’s focus back to his own relationship with Prarthana, emphasizing the need for self-reflection.
Rahi, feeling protective, decides to confront Raghav and implores him not to attend the wedding functions. This decision reflects her growing concern over Anupama’s well-being.
In a poignant moment, Anupama speaks to Anuj’s picture, vowing to enjoy the wedding festivities despite the challenges. Meanwhile, Rahi’s subconscious mind conjures a dream where she threatens Raghav to stay away from Anupama, but Raghav responds with unwavering commitment, stating that Anupama needs a partner and he will never abandon her. Rahi wakes up from the dream, more determined than ever to monitor Raghav’s actions to ensure he stays away from Anupama. Prem, noticing her distress, gently encourages her to get some rest.
As the preparations continue, Anupama assists Mahi in getting ready for the wedding, offering her wisdom and support. She advises Mahi to collaborate with Rahi to ensure everything goes smoothly for the Kotharis. Anupama expresses her happiness for Mahi’s upcoming marriage to Aryan, yet she feels a twinge of sadness that Kavya is unable to share in these precious moments. Mahi reassures Anupama, stating that with her by her side, she doesn’t need Kavya’s presence.
Ishani and Pari join in, urging Anupama to prepare for the upcoming function, adding to the excitement in the air. Meanwhile, Rahi playfully challenges Prem to display some romance in front of the family. Taking her challenge to heart, Prem decides to kiss Rahi in front of everyone, prompting her to confess her love in return, creating a light-hearted moment amidst the tension.
However, Khyati finds herself overwhelmed with emotion as she reflects on Aryan’s marriage, breaking down in tears. Rahi, noticing her distress, encourages Khyati to stop crying and help her get Aryan ready for the wedding, showcasing the bond of friendship and support among the women.
Later, the Kotharis warmly welcome the Shah family, and Rahi compliments Anupama on her beauty, while Prem echoes her sentiment, noting that both Anupama and Rahi are looking their best for the occasion.
**Precap:** In a dramatic turn, Anupama firmly tells Gautam to keep his distance from her children.
