The episode opens with Chirag sleeping on Deepika’s lap. Neighbors begin gossiping about the two, prompting a man to question Deepika about Chirag. Deepika calmly explains that Chirag is a family member, and Chirag, irritated, tells the man to mind his own business. Deepika then brings Chirag inside, where Mishka fumes with jealousy upon seeing them together. Chirag, in a drunken state, creates chaos and praises Ragini, calling her sweet for keeping her pain to herself. When Deepika asks why he nicknames Ragini “ladoo,” Chirag explains it’s because she reminds him of Deepika when she talks to flowers and says “Sawre.” Deepika urges Chirag to bid Ragini goodbye and leave.
Mishka, seething with jealousy over Chirag and Deepika’s bond, begins plotting against Deepika. Deepika instructs Baldev to inform Lavanya about Chirag’s condition. As she lays Chirag down on the bed, he pulls her closer, confessing his love for her and begging her to express her feelings. Meanwhile, the neighborhood gossip continues, with Mishka fueling the fire by labeling Deepika as “characterless” and claiming her husband left her. Mishka manipulates the locals, sparking outrage and convincing them to expel Deepika from the house.
As Chirag is about to reveal that he never married Mishka and still loves Deepika, the mob gathers outside, demanding Deepika’s expulsion. Mishka watches with satisfaction as Deepka is humiliated. Baldev tries to intervene but is held back and beaten by the mob. Deepika pleads with the women to spare her brother, offering to confess the truth. Lavanya arrives just in time to save Deepika, while Omkar rescues Baldev. Lavanya scolds the women, teaching them a lesson about strength and resilience, using Deepika as an example of a woman who faces life’s challenges bravely. Omkar declares Deepika as their **bahu** (daughter-in-law) and warns the mob to leave.
Deepka, shattered, retreats inside, where Lavanya comforts her, calling her an inspiration. Deepka expresses her regret for returning to Jodhpur, feeling broken. Omkar tries to uplift her spirits, assuring her that one day Chirag will come for her.
Deepika tells Omkar that she no longer wants Chirag in her life, believing Mishka is now his everything. Just as she speaks, Chirag appears, and Omkar takes him aside. Lavanya, sensing the moment, tells Deepika that there’s a truth she needs to share.
The episode ends on this tense note, setting the stage for the next dramatic turn.
**Precap:** Chirag humiliates Deepika and announces his decision to adopt Chandu. Deepika, fiercely protective, warns Chirag that he cannot separate her from Chandu.
