In today’s episode, the scene opens with Prem approaching Rahi, asking her if she would like to accompany him to Anu Ki Rasoi. Rahi hesitates and makes an excuse, clearly torn about the invitation. Prem, sensing her reluctance, playfully insists that she can’t stay away from Anupama for long. Rahi, however, explains that she has plans to meet Kinjal and attend a baby shower, emphasizing her commitment to her friend. Prem, with a teasing smile, responds that one day, Rahi’s own baby shower will also take place, prompting Rahi to ponder the future. After a moment of contemplation, Rahi decides to get ready, her spirits lifting at the thought of the day ahead. Prem reminds her that today is a special day, and Rahi secretly wishes for Aryan to forgive Khyati, hinting at underlying tensions.
Meanwhile, Aryan enters the scene, asking Prem for his perfume and jacket. Prem and Rahi jokingly suggest that Aryan can share their wardrobe, which lightens the mood. Aryan puts on the jacket and looks handsome, prompting Rahi and Prem to shower him with compliments, boosting his confidence as he prepares for the day.
The narrative shifts to Anupama, who is discussing Raghav’s recent decision to withdraw the case against the Kotharis. She expresses her understanding that Raghav made a significant sacrifice, praising him for his courage and resilience. Anupama hopes that this marks the beginning of a fresh start for him. Just then, she is taken aback by Raghav’s new look, which symbolizes his transformation and readiness to embrace change.
In a parallel scene, Vasundhara speaks to Anil about Raghav’s decision, expressing her belief that he backed down because he felt he couldn’t compete with the Kotharis. Anil counters her assumption, explaining that Raghav’s withdrawal was influenced by Anupama and the Shah family. Vasundhara acknowledges that Raghav listens to Anupama, while Anil notes that Rahi is still unaware of the full truth surrounding the situation. Vasundhara, with a hint of caution, asserts that she knows how much to disclose to Rahi.
As the story unfolds, Raghav meets Anupama at the temple, where he asks her how he looks. Their conversation turns to the theme of moving forward in life, and Anupama praises Raghav for his progress. Raghav takes a moment to pray, expressing his gratitude to Anupama for all her support. Anupama, touched by his words, admits that she feels she hasn’t been able to repay him for his kindness. She reassures him that he will find a good job soon, encouraging him to stay hopeful.
Back at home, Prem and Aryan share a moment together. Prem encourages Aryan to confide in him about his feelings. Aryan, looking somewhat nervous, admits that he is in love. Prem is taken aback when Aryan reveals that his heart belongs to Mahi. He questions whether Mahi feels the same way, to which Aryan responds that she seems confused about her feelings. Prem advises Aryan to take his time and figure things out, warning him not to push Mahi into anything. Aryan mentions that Mahi often talks about Prem, which raises a flag for Prem, who decides to keep his past engagement with Mahi a secret.
Meanwhile, Rahi meets Kinjal and offers her encouragement to move on in life rather than getting lost in overthinking. Their conversation is a heartfelt exchange, showcasing their friendship and support for one another. As Anupama brings Raghav back to her house, they encounter judgmental glances from the society members. Anupama, undeterred, tells Raghav to walk with his head held high and to ignore the judgment of others. In a show of faith, she hires Raghav at Anu Ki Rasoi, giving him a chance to start anew.
In a surprising twist, Aryan unexpectedly proposes to Mahi, catching her off guard. Mahi, feeling the need to stay close to Prem, decides to accept his proposal and slips the ring onto her finger, much to Aryan’s delight. However, Mahi secretly vows to not spare Prem, hinting at her complex feelings. Aryan, curious about Mahi’s past, discovers that she and Prem were once on the verge of engagement. When he asks Mahi if she still has feelings for Prem, she firmly states that Prem is Rahi’s husband, and she cannot think of him in that way. Aryan, determined, insists that no one can stop their wedding, but Mahi expresses her concern that Rahi wouldn’t support them. Aryan reassures her, urging her not to worry.
Later, Rahi confides in Ansh about her feelings and decides to forgive Anupama for past grievances. In a moment of vulnerability, Rahi unexpectedly hugs Anupama, apologizing for her previous behavior and asking for forgiveness. Anupama, touched by this gesture, comforts her. However, Rahi is taken aback when she sees Raghav, leading to a flurry of questions. Anupama informs Rahi that she has hired Raghav, explaining how he got out of jail thanks to Anil’s bail. Rahi, overwhelmed, questions Anupama’s decision, expressing her anger and frustration. Despite Anupama’s attempts to help her understand, Rahi remains firm in her refusal to forgive Raghav, leaving Anupama emotionally distressed.
**Precap:** Tension mounts as the society members question the nature of Anupama and Raghav’s bond, casting doubt on their relationship. Meanwhile, at the baby shower, Kinjal faces accusations of stealing a necklace, and Anupama steps up to defend her, vowing to stand by Kinjal during this challenging moment.
