In today’s episode, tensions rise as Mahi confronts Rahi, urging her to keep her distance from Prem. When Kinjal questions Mahi’s desire to marry Prem and her sense of self-respect, Mahi defends herself by pointing out Kinjal’s own choices regarding Paritosh. This prompts an outburst from both Paritosh and Kinjal against Mahi. Leela also criticizes Mahi, suggesting she’s losing her sanity, while Mahi blames Rahi for attracting Prem’s attention and insists on her intention to marry him. Anupama advises Mahi to manage her emotions.
Anupama turns to Rahi, inquiring whether she harbors feelings for Prem. Mahi reacts negatively, accusing Anupama of betraying her trust and neglecting her needs during her time of distress. In a moment of desperation, Mahi claims that Anupama could never replace her mother, despite having supported her in Rahi’s absence. Meanwhile, Prem, aiming to defuse the situation, apologizes and professes his love for Rahi, which Mahi contests by asserting that Prem still has feelings for her too. Rahi urges Anupama to make a decision, while Hasmuk senses that Anupama is always caught in dilemmas.
Anupama reflects on the chaos that has unfolded, realizing her oversight as a mother in recognizing the affections Mahi and Rahi hold for Prem. Prem encourages Rahi to stay calm, but Rahi struggles with the pressure, especially concerned about Mahi’s well-being.
As Mahi’s patience wears thin, Ansh and Pari attempt to soothe her, while Pakhi decides to intervene and speak with Mahi. Prem reassures Rahi, insisting that she shouldn’t feel guilty, but Rahi worries about Mahi potentially making reckless choices. Prem questions whether his happiness is irrelevant and resolves to adhere to Anupama’s decision, prompting Rahi to seek Anupama’s guidance.
Meanwhile, Pakhi suggests that Mahi use emotional appeal to sway Anupama, fueling Mahi’s determination to gain Anupama’s favor. Anupama, feeling overwhelmed with responsibility, confides in Anuj’s photo, longing for his support as she grapples with the best path for Mahi, Rahi, and Prem. Rahi pressures Anupama to advocate for Mahi’s happiness while Mahi believes she deserves her own joy too.
As Mahi boldly asks Prem to marry her, he is taken aback. Rahi reflects on her fate, drawing parallels to Anupama’s struggles, and decides to make a sacrifice for love. Mahi asserts her confidence that Anupama will ultimately side with her.
