The episode opens with Bhagyashree questioning Rishabh about the reason he brought her to their room, expressing concern about what their mother and the other women might think of their situation. Rishabh, seemingly in discomfort, mentions that he is experiencing back pain. In response, Bhagyashree offers to apply balm to alleviate his pain. Rishabh, in a playful manner, reminds her that as her husband, she should take care of him. While Bhagyashree searches for the balm, it accidentally falls under the bed. As she bends down to retrieve it, she suddenly experiences a sharp ache in her own back. Rishabh, teasingly, questions whether she is imitating his earlier complaint. Bhagyashree insists that her pain is genuine and expresses her determination to apply balm to him instead. However, Rishabh refuses her offer and takes the initiative to apply the balm to her aching back. This moment fosters a sense of closeness between them, and Bhagyashree acknowledges that Rishabh has always been there to support her.
Meanwhile, another scene unfolds with Nysha, who is anxiously waiting for a photo of a saree from a designer. As the image begins to load on her phone, she realizes that her battery is almost dead. Frustrated by the situation, she throws her phone, feeling increasingly desperate to see the face of the woman in the photo. Back in the room, Rishabh embraces Bhagyashree from behind and expresses his desire to share something important with her. However, their moment is interrupted by the sound of Kaddu barking outside. Bhagyashree steps out to find Sonia accompanied by Kaddu. Rishabh joyfully greets the dog, prompting Bhagyashree to inquire how he knows Kaddu. Rishabh explains that he encountered Kaddu on a bridge during New Year’s, and Bhagyashree realizes that he was the one who rescued the dog. Sonia playfully suggests that they are a couple brought together by Kaddu before leaving. Later, Bhagyashree and Rishabh help Kaddu settle down for the night. During this quiet moment, Bhagyashree reflects on how fortunate they are to have Kaddu, especially in contrast to some husbands who mistreat their wives, like her boss’s husband. Rishabh responds thoughtfully, suggesting that perhaps that man has his own reasons for his behavior.
As the scene progresses, Rishabh urges Bhagyashree not to prevent him from expressing his feelings. He gently places her hand on his heart, asking if she can feel its rhythm. Just as the moment becomes intimate, Vinay’s angry voice interrupts them. Both Rishabh and Bhagyashree rush to see what is wrong. Vinay confronts Rishabh, making it clear that he does not consider him to be a father figure. Rishabh, confused, asks if he has done something to upset him.
A flashback reveals a significant encounter: Nysha meets with Bhagyashree’s parents and introduces herself as the wife of Bhagyashree’s so-called fake husband. She affectionately refers to Rishabh as “Jaan,” prompting Bhagyashree to question the familiarity. Nysha then drops a bombshell, revealing that Rishabh is her husband, not Bhagyashree’s, and that he is the heir to a prestigious business empire in India. She encourages Bhagyashree’s parents to confront Rishabh directly about this startling revelation. Vinay, taken aback, questions Rishabh about the implications of cheating Bhagyashree. In defense of Rishabh, Bhagyashree asserts that he is merely an actor working under her in the office, not an industrialist. This revelation causes Vinay to become increasingly agitated, and the family attempts to calm him down. Bhagyashree urges Nysha to leave without causing a scene, but Nysha retaliates by accusing her of hypocrisy—claiming to support women’s empowerment while being blinded by her affection for Nysha’s husband. Bhagyashree demands clarity from Rishabh, while Sowmya tries to intervene, stating that Rishabh cannot speak at that moment. However, the family insists that he should.
Nysha continues to provoke Bhagyashree, which angers Rishabh, who warns her to be quiet. Nysha challenges him to disclose his true identity, leading Bhagyashree to demand the same. In a moment of honesty, Rishabh reveals, “I am Rishabh Kapoor, son of Gautam Kapoor, and I was about to tell you the whole truth today.” Bhagyashree, initially thinking he is joking, soon realizes he is serious. When she asks if he is Nysha’s husband, he confirms her suspicion. This revelation leaves Bhagyashree feeling betrayed as she recalls their cherished moments together. Overwhelmed by the situation, she becomes dizzy, and her family rallies around her for support. Shreyas reminds everyone that he had warned them about Rishabh’s deceptive nature from the beginning. Vinay confronts Rishabh, demanding to know why he toyed with his daughter’s emotions. Nysha seizes the moment to unveil the truth, claiming that Rishabh’s intention was to take revenge on Bhagyashree and that their home now belongs to the RK Group. Rishabh pleads with the family, asking them to listen to his side of the story before making any final judgments.
In the precap, a time leap occurs, and Rishabh is shown making efforts to win back Bhagyashree’s love, setting the stage for the unfolding drama in their relationship.
