The episode begins with a vibrant scene at a celebration, where Rishi gazes at Lakshmi with admiration, complimenting her beauty. He expresses how captivated he is by her presence, making Lakshmi blush with delight. She graciously attributes her beauty to her sister, Shalu, who stands nearby. However, Shalu insists that Lakshmi’s beauty is innate and shines through in her personality. Rishi, feeling fortunate, declares that he is lucky to have Lakshmi in his life. Dadi, witnessing this sweet exchange, blesses the couple, adding warmth to the moment.
Amidst the festivities, Shalu encourages Lakshmi, confidently stating that she will win the upcoming competition. Yet, Lakshmi remains modest and brushes off the compliment, insisting that she doesn’t care about winning and decides to leave the gathering. This sudden departure leaves Shalu puzzled, while Malishka, lurking nearby, feels a surge of frustration at the sight of Rishi and Lakshmi’s connection. Unable to bear it any longer, she storms away from the party.
Rishi, sensing Lakshmi’s departure, quickly follows her, his heart full of affection. He stops her and expresses his love, prompting a smile from Lakshmi. She reciprocates his feelings, saying she feels lucky to have him as well. However, just as the moment seems perfect, Lakshmi suddenly apologizes, leaving Rishi confused and concerned. He watches her walk away, wondering what prompted her apology, and he begins searching for her.
Meanwhile, Ayush encounters Bhalla, who is busy organizing the party. Bhalla asks Ayush to arrange drinks, music, and food to ensure the celebration is lively and enjoyable for all guests.
In another corner of the venue, Shanaya approaches Malishka, curious about her abrupt exit from the party. Malishka confides in Shanaya, revealing her deep-seated jealousy over Rishi’s affection for Lakshmi. Shanaya, trying to console her friend, reminds Malishka that she successfully secured her own husband through unconventional means, suggesting that Malishka could do the same. However, Malishka’s worries surface as she points out that Lakshmi is Rishi’s legal wife and is pregnant with his child, complicating matters further. Shanaya’s expression shifts to one of concern as she realizes the intricacies of the situation, questioning Malishka on how she allowed this to happen. She strongly advises Malishka to find a way to eliminate Lakshmi and her baby from the equation.
At that moment, Kiran joins the conversation and suggests a more sinister approach—causing Lakshmi to have a miscarriage. Malishka, intrigued yet cautious, inquires how they could accomplish such a thing. Shanaya, with a sly smile, reveals that she has a plan involving a special powder that can induce a miscarriage, promising to arrange it discreetly.
Back at the party, Ayush hands Bhalla a glass of wine, and after taking a sip, Bhalla becomes noticeably intoxicated. He begins to admire Aanchal’s beauty from across the room, his drunken state amplifying his feelings. Rishi finally locates Lakshmi and asks her why she apologized earlier. Lakshmi opens up, explaining that she often feels like she brings him trouble, which weighs heavily on her conscience. Rishi reassures her that their bond is what truly matters and that he cherishes their togetherness. Just as Lakshmi is about to express something deeper, she hesitates, feeling uncertain, and ultimately decides to leave once more. Shalu, who has been observing them from a distance, reflects on the depth of Rishi’s love for Lakshmi, feeling a mix of admiration and concern.
Aanchal, noticing Bhalla’s drunken state, requests Ayush to keep an eye on him before she steps away. In his inebriated condition, Bhalla makes a clumsy attempt to ask Ayush for Aanchal’s number, claiming he can’t control his emotions. This unexpected request sparks an idea in Ayush’s mind.
Meanwhile, Kiran inquires about Shanaya’s plan, eager to understand the next steps. Shanaya reveals the details about the powder she has procured, explaining that it can easily be mixed into Lakshmi’s juice to achieve their malicious goal.
As the festivities continue, Lakshmi feels a sense of joy watching Rishi enjoying himself with Bhalla and the other guests. Rishi, catching sight of her radiant smile, approaches her and expresses that he can see the love she has for him in her eyes. Just as Lakshmi prepares to respond, Rano arrives, interrupting their moment. She inquires about their conversation, and they quickly cover up, claiming they were merely complimenting each other.
In a separate part of the venue, Balwinder, disguised as a joker, sneaks into the party. Bhalla, still inebriated, stops him and asks who he is. Balwinder, with a mischievous grin, replies that he is indeed a joker but secretly warns Bhalla that he is also the villain of the story, urging him not to reveal his true identity. Bhalla, in his drunken haze, nods in agreement, oblivious to Balwinder’s true intentions. As Balwinder scans the room, his eyes land on Lakshmi and Rishi, a sinister smile creeping onto his face.
The episode culminates with Shanaya handing Malishka the powder, explaining how to use it to ensure that Lakshmi’s juice will be tainted, setting the stage for impending chaos and conflict.
