Meanwhile, Prem, who has been observant of Mahi’s interactions, warns her about Aryan, sensing something amiss. However, Mahi misinterprets Prem’s concern as jealousy, believing that his feelings are driving her closer to Aryan. This internal conflict leaves Anupama puzzled, as she wonders about Mahi’s true intentions—she desires Prem yet is simultaneously forging a friendship with Aryan.
