The episode begins with Ayush confronting Anushka, stating that their relationship has never resembled that of a husband and wife. He reminds her that he made it clear before their marriage that he would never love her in that way because his heart belongs to Shalu. Ayush accuses Anushka of hiding the truth and betraying him while demanding that he fill her parting with sindoor. He emphasizes that his values dictate that once he loves someone, he can only fill her parting and not anyone else’s. Rishi interjects, affirming to Lakshmi that this is part of their family’s principles.
Rishi further insists to Ayush that he should only fill Shalu’s parting with sindoor, rejecting any claims otherwise. Neelam questions how this is feasible, prompting Rishi to plead with her to permit Ayush to fill Shalu’s parting, emphasizing that Ayush has waited patiently for this moment. Just then, Aanchal rushes down from upstairs, asking Neelam if everything is alright after hearing a gunshot. Meanwhile, the police inspector notices Neel’s distraction and swiftly retrieves the gun from him.
The police attempt to take Neel and Anushka away, while Anushka lashes out, cursing Shalu and declaring that she will never have Ayush’s love, which she has long desired. Lakshmi, standing firm, confronts Anushka, demanding to know how she dares to curse her sister. She asserts that they will face the consequences of their actions and that Anushka and Neel are going to jail today. Lakshmi vows to protect Shalu, declaring that nothing will happen to her while she is around. In response, Anushka retaliates with a curse of her own, insisting that Lakshmi will never find love either.
Shalu pleads with Anushka to stop her verbal assault. Just as the cops prepare to escort Anushka and Neel away, Ayush intervenes, insisting that Anushka cannot leave like this.

Looking at Shalu, Ayush declares that he has expressed his feelings for her, only for Anushka to interrupt. Ayush, frustrated, tells Anushka to be quiet. He then declares that what he is doing is not just blood; it is proof of his bond with Shalu, as he fills her hair parting with the blood—symbolizing their connection. Enraged, Anushka curses Shalu once again, threatening to kill her.
Lakshmi reminds Anushka that she had previously warned her that she would have to go through her to reach Shalu. Ultimately, the police remove Anushka and Neel from the
