He implores Khyati to trust him and support his decision, assuring her that he will do everything in his power to protect their business.

Pakhi then suggests that Ishani should use Anupama to her advantage and then discard her afterward. Hasmuk, overhearing this comment, reprimands Pakhi for her insensitivity. Pakhi brushes off Hasmuk’s scolding and tells Ishani to ignore him.
Later, Anupama and Rahi head out for some shopping, where fans excitedly approach Anupama to take pictures with her.
