In today’s episode, Anupama encourages Paritosh to answer a phone call. Vasundhara speaks with Anupama and insists that a decision about Rahi’s wedding must be made quickly before tensions escalate. She urges Anupama to keep a watchful eye on the situation. Meanwhile, Mahi informs Anupama that Rahi has returned, and Rahi admits she spent the night with Prem, apologizing to Anupama for the circumstances. Anupama questions why Rahi can’t meet Prem somewhere more private, like a café or her home, to which Rahi insists she hasn’t crossed any boundaries. Paritosh and Pakhi anxiously wonder if the Kothari family will cancel the alliance.
Leela holds Rahi responsible for the situation, while Mahi asks how Rahi managed to get into the house given the strict security. Rahi explains that the guards know her, so she was able to enter without issue. Anupama warns that regardless of Rahi’s intentions, society will judge her harshly. Leela adds that people will speculate about Rahi’s family dynamics, blaming her mother for not controlling her. Angered, Anupama expresses her frustration towards Rahi, as Prem joins them to apologize for the situation. Anupama advises both Rahi and Prem to be cautious moving forward.
Elsewhere, Prem contemplates how Baa found out about Rahi’s overnight stay, and Radha tells him to relax. Prem confesses he’s unsure how to console Anupama, and Radha admits she’s at a loss too. Meanwhile, Paritosh and Ansh treat Prem gently, but he asks them to stop treating him like a Kothari. A mistake leads Radha to mistakenly call Prathana, which catches Parag’s attention as he learns about Prem’s treatment in Anupama’s house. This only serves to incense Parag further, thanks to Gautam’s commentary.
Back with Anupama, Leela, and Hasmuk, they discuss the possibility of an alliance between Rahi and Prem. However, Vasundhara challenges Anupama, asking why she has reversed her earlier stance. Leela insists they should move forward with the marriage to prevent any recurrence of last night’s events, but Parag argues that while Rahi might be willing, Prem isn’t ready for marriage and urges Anupama to retract her proposal.
As Rahi grows anxious about how the Kotharis will react, Ansh inquires about her restlessness. Rahi reassures him that she will take on the responsibility of bringing the families together. Parag presses Anupama for clarification on what occurred overnight that led to her change of heart. Before Anupama can respond, Prem interjects, declaring his unwavering support for Rahi and asking Baa to accept their proposal. Baa agrees but cautions that being a Kothari daughter-in-law comes with its challenges, to which Anupama responds that being a daughter-in-law isn’t easy, either.
Anupama urges the Kotharis to have empathy for Rahi. Khyati tells Anupama not to worry, promising they will treat Rahi like their own daughter. Anupama then proceeds to perform a ritual with Prem. However, Parag vehemently opposes the alliance, confronting Baa regarding her decision. Baa urges Parag to accept Rahi, while he criticizes her manners, to which Baa asserts she can manage Rahi just as she has with Khyati and Neeta.
**Precap:** Prem enjoys street food with the Shah family, but when Parag sees him cleaning plates, he confronts Anupama about it.
