The episode opens with a tender moment between Rishi and Lakshmi. Rishi is carefully applying ointment to Lakshmi’s hand, which was burned in a recent incident. As he tends to her injury, he notices her gazing at him intently. He gently inquires about her stare, and Lakshmi responds with heartfelt admiration, declaring that he is perfect and without flaws. Rishi, pleased by her observation, smiles and playfully acknowledges that she has finally noticed his perfection. He affectionately calls her his friend and love, highlighting the deep bond they share. Duty calls, however, and Rishi regretfully informs her that he must attend to his work, excusing himself from the room.
Rishi then seeks out Ayush, and the two begin plotting a way to reprimand Anushka for her misdeeds. Their discussion is interrupted by Lakshmi, who innocently inquires about their destination, curious about their intentions. Suddenly, a piercing cry shatters the air, prompting everyone to rush inside to investigate. They discover Dadi sprawled on the floor, having taken a tumble while attempting a catwalk. Ayush and Rishi swiftly come to her aid, carefully helping her to her feet and escorting her to the comfort of her room.
Meanwhile, Shanaya rouses Malishka from her sleep. Malishka is taken aback by Shanaya’s early arrival and questions her unexpected visit. Shanaya reveals that Kavya has divulged all the details of the recent events in Malishka’s life. Shanaya urges Malishka to focus on captivating Rishi’s attention with her stunning appearance. Malishka confidently asserts that she still possesses the same allure she had during their college days and is certain she will make a striking impression at the Bollywood party. She reminisces about her college days when she would dress in a Barbie-like fashion to attract Rishi. She declares that she intends to dress in a way that will leave Rishi utterly captivated. The two share a hug, united in their scheme.
Shalu, who happens to overhear their conversation, quickly seeks out Lakshmi. She finds Lakshmi surrounded by a vast array of food she has prepared. Shalu encourages Lakshmi to focus on her appearance and prepare herself for the party. Lakshmi dismisses the suggestion, claiming that Shalu has lost her mind. Just then, Rishi arrives with a carefully wrapped package, accidentally bumping into Lakshmi. He urges her to accept the costume he has purchased for her to wear at the Bollywood-themed party. Lakshmi hesitates initially but eventually relents and accepts the gift. Rishi embraces her warmly, calling her beautiful before departing. Lakshmi turns to Shalu, questioning why she needs to dress up when Rishi has already told her she is beautiful. Shalu insists that it is necessary and continues to encourage her to dress up for the party. Lakshmi finally agrees to consider it.
Later, Shanaya confronts Rishi, reminding him of the intense love he once held for Malishka. Rishi curtly replies that those feelings are in the past before walking away, dismissing the conversation. Shanaya then relays to Malishka that Rishi seems mesmerized by Lakshmi. Malishka smirks, feigning understanding, but reveals her plan to reclaim her position as Rishi’s weakness. She intends to wear the same dress she wore when Rishi proposed to her, hoping to reignite their past romance.
Elsewhere, Shalu continues to persuade Lakshmi to embrace a fresh, new look. She announces her intention to call someone to help Lakshmi get ready for the party, and Lakshmi agrees to the idea.
On another front, Ayush confronts Anushka, holding her accountable for her malicious actions. Anushka retorts, claiming that Shalu provoked her jealousy and deserved to be burned. Ayush angrily reprimands her, demanding that she leave the city. He issues a final warning, threatening to forcibly remove her if she refuses to comply.
Anushka responds with mocking laughter, dismissing his anger as insincere. She points out that he lacks any concrete proof against her and could even face legal repercussions if he tries to take action. She taunts him, suggesting that he should simply leave Shalu alone, knowing that he won’t agree to her demands. Ayush glares at her, regretting that she is not a man, as he would not have spared her. He warns her to wait and see what he is capable of, hinting at a future confrontation. Anushka remains defiant, confident in her position.
The episode concludes with unresolved tensions and the anticipation of the Bollywood party, where hidden agendas and romantic rivalries are set to unfold.
