In today’s episode, the atmosphere is vibrant and festive as Prem admires both Rahi and Anupama, complimenting their beauty. Anupama, in turn, praises the stunning decorations that adorn the venue, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Prem, feeling proud, attributes the success of the decorations to Rahi, who readily returns the compliment by crediting Prem for his efforts. Their playful banter quickly escalates into a light-hearted argument, showcasing their competitive spirits. Sensing the rising tension, Anupama decides to step in and check on the catering arrangements, urging Rahi and Prem to cease their bickering. Prem, ever the tease, playfully challenges Rahi about a previous bet, to which Rahi confidently asserts that Prem will ultimately lose.
Meanwhile, Meeta approaches Vasundhara with curiosity, questioning why she has summoned the ladies for the gathering. Vasundhara, with a hint of reluctance, explains that it was out of necessity rather than desire. Meeta expresses her concerns about whether Raghav will make an appearance at the function, to which Vasundhara ominously replies that Anupama’s presence will only bring shame upon them. As the ladies gather, they confront Anupama, making snide remarks about Rahi and Mahi being adopted. Anupama stands her ground, firmly asserting that Rahi and Mahi are her daughters and urging the women to focus on enjoying the food instead of spreading negativity.
In another corner of the event, Leela and Vasundhara engage in a heated argument over the merits of expensive versus cheap sarees. Their dispute draws the attention of Parag and Hasmuk, who intervene to diffuse the tension. Meanwhile, Gautam tries to make Prarthana feel uneasy, his intentions unclear. Just as he attempts to corner her, Ansh steps in, interrupting their conversation. Gautam, feeling threatened, accuses Ansh of having an affair with Prarthana, demanding that he keep his distance, claiming he intends to take Prarthana to London.
Elsewhere, Rahi is determined to keep an eye on both Raghav and Anupama, sensing the underlying tension. Raghav hesitates at the entrance of the Kothari mansion, visibly conflicted. Anupama notices his reluctance and asks him what is troubling him. Raghav reflects on the past, recalling the disrespect he faced from the Kotharis, which has left him apprehensive. Anupama encourages him to confront his fears, reminding him that he is not a criminal and deserves to stand tall.
As the function is set to commence, Vasundhara calls for everyone’s attention to begin the celebrations. Rahi eagerly awaits Anupama’s arrival, and when Anupama finally steps in with Raghav by her side, the ladies inquire about his presence. Anupama confidently reassures the guests, clarifying that Raghav is not a criminal, as Pankhuri is still alive.
Khyati and Anupama share a joyful moment as they witness Mahi and Rahi together, their bond evident. Anupama gently encourages Khyati to be forgiving if the girls happen to make any mistakes during the festivities. Khyati affectionately responds, declaring that Mahi and Rahi are like her own daughters. In a spirited moment, Mahi challenges Aryan to apply mehendi to her hands, igniting a playful competition between them. The atmosphere is filled with laughter as the Kotharis and the Shahs join in a celebratory dance.
As the mehendi function for Aryan and Mahi unfolds, Vasundhara’s watchful eyes catch Anupama engaging in conversation with Raghav. Meanwhile, Rahi and Prem successfully complete their challenge, adding to the light-hearted spirit of the occasion. The Shahs and the Kotharis continue to compete in various fun activities during the sangeet function, while Anupama silently wishes for everyone’s happiness, hoping the day will be a memorable one.
However, the mood shifts when Gautam reveals that Prarthana has sent him divorce papers, a revelation that sends shockwaves through the gathering. Vasundhara confronts Prarthana, her tone accusatory and filled with disdain. Anupama, sensing the escalating confrontation, steps in to mediate. Vasundhara blames Anupama for allegedly encouraging Prarthana to seek a divorce, but Anupama defends her actions, explaining that she supported Prarthana because the Kotharis had been dismissive of her feelings.
Parag then confronts Prarthana, seeking to understand her perspective. Prarthana, feeling unheard, explains that she has tried to communicate her desire to separate from Gautam, but her pleas have gone unacknowledged. With resolve, she reiterates her decision to pursue the divorce, determined to reclaim her independence.
As the episode moves toward its climax, the precap reveals a chilling turn of events. Anupama warns Gautam to stay away from her children, asserting her protective instincts. In a menacing response, Gautam ominously hints that a surprise awaits Anupama. The scene transitions to a shocking moment as Anupama discovers her kitchen engulfed in flames, leaving her in utter disbelief and despair as she breaks down, overwhelmed by the chaos surrounding her.
