Meanwhile, Gautam confronts a man about the truth of a significant secret. The man insists that the secret is substantial and demands money from Gautam. Gautam tells the man to return once he calls him, plotting revenge against Rahi for previously slapping him.
Rahi is delighted as she tries on her haldi outfit, which captures the attention of the Shah family. When asked about the outfit, she happily declares it beautiful. Pari, curious, inquires if Rahi likes the simple outfit that much. In another part of the house, Meeta has chosen a stunning haldi outfit for Rahi, and Khyati compliments it. Baa reveals that she had Meeta select the outfit. Parag jokingly complains that no one is considering him in the preparations. Tension rises when Baa asks if Prem is still upset, to which he states that since Baa owns the house, he has decided to live separately. He mentions that after the wedding, Rahi and he will move to Mumbai to finish their degrees, while Parag insists that Prem will not be returning home. Baa expresses concerns that Rahi won’t be able to devote herself to her career after marriage.
Anupama tries to have a conversation with the priest, believing everything is going smoothly, but accidentally bumps into a mysterious man, raising her curiosity about his identity. Back in the haldi preparations, Rahi refuses to wear the outfit sent by the Kotharis, insisting on wearing the dress designed by Pari instead.
Ishani encourages Raja to discuss their relationship with the Kotharis, which makes Pakhi happy.

During the ceremony, Baa scolds Rahi for not wearing the outfit chosen by the Kotharis, while Rahi defends her decision, stating that Pari designed her dress with love. Baa retorts that Meeta spent her time selecting the outfit, but Anupama intervenes, assuring everyone that Rahi will wear both dresses.
As the haldi ceremony gets underway, Rahi turns to Parag, asking him to bless her. She decides to address him as her father moving forward.
