The episode begins with Chirag noticing Ragini’s distress and asking her about it. Ragini expresses her frustration over Chandni’s unexpected presence and the fact that she performed the puja in her place. Chirag reminds her that Chandni is their guest and deserves attention, explaining that if Chandni’s mother doesn’t support her, it could lead to further complications. Ragini worries that if SM doesn’t love her, she will feel hurt.
As the family gathers, Chandni joyfully shares her cake with Ragini, but her playful antics deepen Ragini’s insecurity. Janvi sympathizes with Ragini, pointing out that Chandni has taken everything from her. She suggests that Ragini should lock Chandni in a dark room. Ragini, however, fears that SM would hate her if she did that. Janvi then learns from Ragini that Chandni is Deepika’s daughter and that everyone is aware of this fact.
Chirag encourages Ragini to show Chandni her room, but when Chandni questions the old items there, Ragini warns her to stay away from her father. Chandni insists that Chirag is her friend, which frustrates Ragini. In a moment of anger, Ragini locks Chandni in a storage room. Chandni, undeterred, calls for Ragini to join her in play. Though Ragini considers letting her out, Janvi advises her against it, fearing that Chandni will reveal their secret. Chandni, meanwhile, seeks help from her mother, who is on the way, curious about the situation.
Deepika reassures Chitra that she will see the doctor soon, and Chitra calms her by saying that Chandni is fine. As Chirag searches for Chandni, he turns to Ragini for answers. Janvi lies, telling him that Chandni is just playing in another room. Ragini, feeling guilty, resolves to open the door but hesitates when Janvi warns her that it might lead to trouble. The family enjoys prashad, oblivious to Chirag’s concern for Chandni, who becomes increasingly restless in the storeroom.
Feeling anxious, Deepika considers calling Omkar. To attract attention, Chandni starts dropping items to signal for help. She discovers a photo frame, allowing Mishka an opportunity to take the DNA report.
Chirag arrives and questions Mishka about her presence, indicating a budding connection with Chandni. He finds Chandni lying on the floor and quickly picks her up in his arms to check on her. Chandni insists she was merely playing. Lavanya urges Chirag to help her, while Ragini becomes anxious at the prospect of Chandni revealing the truth. Excitedly, Chandni asks to play with Chirag’s stethoscope, which he teaches both her and Ragini to use. Chandni cheerfully notes that their heartbeats sync up.
Mishka attempts to grab the DNA report again but drops it this time. Neelima catches her in the act, prompting Mishka to claim she was looking for a file. Ragini, meanwhile, creatively folds the DNA report into a flower.
The episode concludes with a sense of tension mounting.
**Precap:** Lavanya and Omkar discuss wanting Deepika and her child to return home. Janvi informs Chirag of their plan, setting the stage for potential conflict ahead.
