The episode opens with a servant entering a dimly lit room, where he switches on the lights. He questions Nysah about her decision to light candles despite the availability of electricity. Nysah, initially irritated by his inquiry, scolds him for questioning her choices. However, her attention is soon diverted when the doorbell rings. She quickly orders the servant to turn off the lights and answer the door.
As the door swings open, Rishabh steps inside, his brow furrowed in confusion as he surveys the darkened room. He asks Nysah why the room is so dim. Nysah, with a playful tone, responds by asking if he doesn’t like the ambiance she created. Rishabh, however, candidly expresses his preference for light over darkness. Seizing the moment, Nysah flirts with him, claiming that she enjoys his teasing and has fulfilled her role as a devoted wife, knowing he has come to express his gratitude.
But the mood shifts dramatically when Rishabh reveals the true purpose of his visit: he asks Nysah to sign the divorce papers. Anger flares within Nysah as she vehemently refuses, grabbing Rishabh by the collar and challenging him. She demands to know what Bhagyashree possesses that makes her worthy of Rishabh’s affection, questioning whether he has a disdain for strong women like herself. Rishabh counters her assertions, insisting that Bhagyashree is stronger than Nysah and warns her that if she does not sign the papers, he will take legal action against her. With that, he leaves, and in a fit of rage, Nysah burns the divorce papers, vowing to destroy Bhagyashree’s life in retaliation.
Meanwhile, Karthik arrives at a company with the intention of uncovering the identity of the person who provided him with financial assistance. A passerby informs him that the boss has just departed, prompting Karthik to jot down the car’s license plate number in hopes of tracking him down.
In another scene, Sonia and Nitya extend an invitation to Bhagyashree, but she declines, citing her work commitments. Nikhil offers to remain behind to keep her company, but she insists that he should go. Meanwhile, Sowmya advises Karthik against returning the investor’s money, but he remains resolute in his decision. Frustrated, Sowmya seeks Tanu’s assistance in helping Karthik understand how to treat a wife properly.
Later, Rishabh arrives at the same company and finds Bhagyashree still working late into the night. She explains that she is waiting for a call from Anji. Rishabh, concerned for her well-being, insists that he can handle the situation and that she doesn’t need to remain at the office. When Bhagyashree inquires about Rishabh taking the blame for a recent issue, he explains that he cannot bear to see her reputation tarnished. As their conversation unfolds, Bhagyashree notices that Rishabh is running a fever. Despite his protests, she insists on calling a doctor to care for him.
Meanwhile, Tanu offers Karthik advice on how to make Sowmya happy, even playfully suggesting that he should romance her. She encourages him to lift Sowmya in his arms, but Karthik cleverly escapes from the situation. Sowmya expresses her gratitude to Tanu, who then departs for a shopping trip.
Karthik’s investigation takes a surprising turn when he spots the same car that had previously aided him in his society. To his shock, he discovers that it belongs to the Kapoor family—specifically, Rishabh and Purab, who were the ones who financially supported him.
Back at the company, Bhagyashree is seen tending to Rishabh, placing a cool cloth on his forehead to alleviate his fever. As she cares for him, she becomes lost in memories of their past love, quietly admitting to herself that her feelings for him have not faded. In a tender moment, she softly confesses her love while Rishabh, in his sleep, instinctively holds her hand. Overwhelmed by emotion, she leans down and kisses his forehead. Just then, Nikhil enters the scene and witnesses this intimate moment. He confronts Bhagyashree, questioning whether this was the “important work” she had mentioned earlier. Bhagyashree, now defensive, warns him not to speak to her disrespectfully, explaining that Rishabh is ill and needs her care. When the doctor calls, Nikhil seizes her phone, but she firmly warns him not to overstep his boundaries.
**Precap:** In a tense confrontation, Nikhil questions Bhagyashree about her intentions, asking if she wishes to become the other woman in Rishabh’s life. In a moment of anger, she slaps him. Nikhil then confides in Vinay, revealing that Bhagyashree still harbors feelings for Rishabh. This shocking revelation causes Vinay to collapse, clutching his heart, leaving the family in a state of panic and concern.
