In today’s episode, the warmth of the kitchen fills the air as Anupama diligently prepares ladoos for Mahi, her heart swelling with love and anticipation for the upcoming celebrations. As she rolls the sweet treats, her mind drifts to her family, and she pauses to ask Kinjal what’s been on her mind lately. Kinjal, sensing the weight of unspoken thoughts, takes a deep breath and shares her observations about the Shah family. She expresses concern that everyone, including herself, is so caught up in their own lives that they often overlook Anupama’s feelings of loneliness.
Kinjal points out that no one ever takes the time to ask Anupama about her likes or dislikes, emphasizing that a mother and housewife rarely has the opportunity to focus on her own needs. With a gentle yet serious tone, she reminds Anupama that once Mahi leaves for her new life, she will be left alone. Kinjal’s words resonate deeply with Anupama, who has always prioritized her family over her own desires. Kinjal then suggests that Anupama needs a friend, and she believes that Raghav could be the perfect companion for her. She reassures Anupama that she understands the bond they share and encourages her to embrace this friendship.
Anupama, touched by Kinjal’s concern and insight, expresses her gratitude for her daughter-in-law’s understanding. Kinjal urges Anupama to stop worrying about everyone else for a change and to focus on her own happiness and life. This heartfelt conversation serves as a pivotal moment for Anupama, planting the seeds of self-reflection and the possibility of new beginnings.
Just as Anupama begins to contemplate these thoughts, her phone rings. It’s Sushma, who sounds anxious and concerned. She shares that Prarthana has not been answering her calls, and Sushma suspects that Prarthana might be feeling pressured to back out of her decisions. Anupama’s maternal instincts kick in, and she decides to have a candid conversation with Sushma to understand the situation better. Meanwhile, Rahi is lost in her thoughts, contemplating the evolving relationship between Anupama and Raghav.
At the same time, Prem confronts Rahi, visibly frustrated with her tendency to exaggerate situations. He admits that he is tired of her stubborn behavior and decides to ignore her, choosing instead to focus on enjoying Aryan’s wedding preparations. Rahi feels a pang of regret for her actions and tries to console Prem, but he remains distant, leaving her feeling disheartened. Determined to mend their relationship, Rahi resolves to make things right between them.
Later, Anupama and Prarthana meet with Sushma to discuss the troubling circumstances surrounding Prarthana’s situation. Anupama gently asks Prarthana if she has reconsidered her decision, but Prarthana reveals that Vasundhara has advised her to remain quiet for a while. Anupama, sensing the weight of Vasundhara’s influence, asserts that Vasundhara will not support her in this matter. Prarthana then drops a bombshell: Gautam has burned the divorce papers and has decided never to grant her a divorce. The revelation sends shockwaves through the room, and Sushma quickly advises Prarthana to gather evidence against Gautam to fight for her rights in court.
As the day progresses, Aryan approaches Rahi and Prem, asking for their help in cleaning off the yellow color from his face and body after a fun-filled celebration. Rahi eagerly volunteers to do his makeup, hoping to lighten the mood. In a moment of vulnerability, Prarthana turns to Anupama and asks why life seems so unfair to her. Anupama, embodying her role as a mentor, encourages Prarthana to be proactive and collect evidence against Gautam, reinforcing the idea that she deserves to fight for her freedom.
As fate would have it, Gautam soon spots Anupama and Prarthana together, and he taunts them for their supposed plans for a divorce. Sensing an opportunity, Anupama discreetly signals Prarthana to record a video of Gautam’s words. With a clever ruse, Anupama tricks Gautam into revealing more than he intended, and Prarthana successfully captures the evidence they need. Anupama beams with pride, praising Prarthana for her quick thinking and bravery in the face of adversity.
Later, Gautam confronts Vasundhara, accusing Anupama of manipulating Prarthana into demanding a divorce. He claims that Anupama’s influence is driving Prarthana’s determination to separate from him. Meanwhile, Anupama shares her encounter with Gautam with Rahi and Prem, urging them to support Prarthana during this tumultuous time. Prem expresses his gratitude to Anupama for standing by Prarthana, acknowledging the strength of her character. Anupama advises them to remain discreet until Aryan’s wedding is over, emphasizing the importance of timing in their plans.
In a dramatic turn, Vasundhara blames Prarthana for misbehaving with Gautam, further complicating the situation. Gautam, in a fit of rage, threatens to commit suicide rather than grant Prarthana a divorce, intensifying the emotional turmoil. Vasundhara, in a moment of desperation, shifts the blame onto Anupama, accusing her of causing the chaos. Rahi and Prem, witnessing the unfolding drama, encourage Prarthana to stay focused on gathering evidence against Gautam, reminding her of the importance of her fight for independence.
Meanwhile, Ansh grows anxious about the events surrounding him, prompting Hasmuk to offer comfort and reassurance. The Kotharis begin planning Aryan and Mahi’s wedding with excitement, but their joy is short-lived when Aryan suddenly suffers from a stomachache, causing panic among the family members. In the midst of this chaos, Anupama and Mahi share a heartfelt moment, with Anupama blessing Mahi for her future, reinforcing the bond between them.
As the episode draws to a close, the stage is set for the upcoming wedding. In the precap, Aryan and Mahi’s wedding festivities begin, filled with excitement and anticipation. However, Aryan’s friends encourage him to take drugs to enhance his experience, but Aryan, firm in his resolve, refuses. Just as the tension escalates, Anupama catches Aryan in the act, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats, eager to see how this confrontation will unfold.
