The episode opens with Bhagyashree stepping out of her home, resplendent in the beautiful saree gifted to her by Rishabh. The fabric drapes elegantly around her, and she radiates a sense of grace and beauty that captures Rishabh’s attention. He compliments her, stating that the saree looks even more stunning on her than he had imagined. Bhagyashree, pleased by the compliment, suggests that they should make their way to the pooja ceremony, a significant event that holds great importance in their community.
As she picks up the pooja plate, an unexpected mishap occurs; the pleats of her saree come undone. Rishabh, ever the gentleman, steps forward to assist her, gently helping to fix the pleats. In a moment of curiosity, he inquires about the nirjal vrath she has undertaken, asking what wish she holds in her heart. Bhagyashree gives him a shy smile and replies that her wish is something she intends to share only with Devi Maa, the goddess they are honoring. Rishabh, filled with warmth and affection, expresses his hope that all her dreams come true as he adjusts her saree. Bhagyashree feels a rush of shyness at his words, her cheeks flushing slightly. He encourages her to complete the pooja so they can enjoy a meal together afterward, creating a sense of anticipation for the moments to come.
Just then, Karthik approaches them with a look of gratitude on his face. He thanks Bhagyashree for her persuasive efforts in convincing Sowmya to return home, acknowledging the impact of her support. Karthik also extends his thanks to both Rishabh and Bhagyashree for their assistance during a challenging time. He shares some positive news, mentioning that he has spoken with their lawyer and feels optimistic about winning the case against the Kapoor Company. As they converse, Rishabh learns more about the lawyer involved, showing interest in the legal proceedings.
Bhagyashree, always supportive, suggests that Karthik might find potential investors for his startup within their circle. After Karthik departs, she turns to Rishabh and informs him that she has obtained permission from Nysah Ma’am for him to join the company. However, Rishabh declines the offer, expressing his desire to focus on his acting career, revealing that he has already secured a role that he is excited about.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere shifts as Sowmya suddenly feels nauseous and rushes to the washroom. Padma, concerned, wonders what could be wrong with her, especially since she hadn’t even observed a fast. Bhagyashree then reveals the joyous news that Sowmya is pregnant, causing Padma and Vinay to light up with delight. The revelation adds a layer of happiness to the pooja, where several ladies compliment Bhagyashree on her radiant glow. Revati playfully teases her, suggesting that her beauty is a result of Rishabh’s thoughtful gift. In the midst of the celebrations, Bhagyashree silently prays for Rishabh’s happiness and for his father’s recovery, her heart filled with hope.
As the pooja progresses, Rishabh descends the stairs to greet a visitor, who turns out to be the victim he has been trying to assist. She reminds him of his promise to help her financially, and he offers to support her with her plastic surgery as well. Rishabh urges her to be honest about her situation, and the woman confesses that Nysah Ma’am had paid them off, revealing that Bhagyashree was completely unaware of the truth and had placed her trust in both the victim and Nysah. Rishabh, now concerned for Bhagyashree’s innocence, asks if she would be willing to testify in court. She agrees, but only if he helps with her surgery. Rishabh promises to support her and asks her to meet with his lawyer, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. He reflects on how Bhagyashree is innocent and was ensnared in Nysah’s deception, affirming his belief that his love for her is genuine and pure.
After the pooja, the women gather, eagerly awaiting the moment to break their fast. In the midst of the chatter, someone calls out to Bhagyashree, and as she walks, her anklet unexpectedly falls off. Rishabh quickly rushes to her side, picking it up and gently placing it back on her foot. In a moment filled with emotion, he tells her that he has things he wishes to share from the depths of his heart. However, Bhagyashree, feeling shy and aware of the onlookers, suggests that it’s not the right time. Rishabh, now free from his earlier misunderstandings, is determined to confess his feelings, but just then, a lively group of LGBTQ ladies arrives, teasing Bhagyashree about receiving the vrath ka phal (the fruit of the fast). In a playful twist, Rishabh reveals that he, too, has kept a fast, which prompts even more light-hearted teasing from the group. Eventually, they shoo Rishabh away, declaring it a ladies-only gathering, leaving him both amused and frustrated.
Meanwhile, Nysah makes her entrance into Bhagyashree’s society, her determination palpable as she seeks to find the woman for whom RK had bought a “low-class” saree. She steps into the Teej celebration, her mind racing with thoughts on how to locate her target. Bhagyashree greets Nysah warmly, introducing her to her family. When asked if she has kept a fast, Nysah nonchalantly replies that she hasn’t, claiming she is merely searching for a friend. Rishabh, cleverly hiding his face behind a piece of paper, tries to catch Bhagyashree’s attention, feeling an urgency to speak with her and not let the distractions of the gathering deter him.
After a brief conversation, Nysah departs and sits in her car, visibly irritated by the noise of the celebration. The watchman approaches her, informing her that she cannot park there, to which she responds by tossing money at him in annoyance. Meanwhile, Rishabh seizes the moment, covering Bhagyashree’s mouth playfully and whisking her away, determined to have their conversation.
In a tense moment, Nysah calls Amith, instructing him to send her a photo of the saree RK purchased, insisting that she must identify the woman he bought it for, setting the stage for potential conflict ahead.
**Precap:** In a shocking twist, Nysah reveals Rishabh’s true identity to Bhagyashree and her family, disclosing that he is her husband, RK, leaving everyone in disbelief.
