The episode begins with Mohit expressing his gratitude to Neil for bringing Teju back from Nagpur. He extends an invitation for Neil to join them for dinner, but Neil politely declines, stating that his family is expecting him. Teju, however, insists that Neil stay for dinner, and he ultimately agrees.
As dinner is being served by Mukta, Mohit discreetly hands Neil an envelope filled with cash as a token of appreciation. Neil graciously refuses the money, explaining that he brought Teju out of goodwill and instead asks for Mohit’s blessings. Mohit happily agrees, emphasizing that he will always feel indebted to Neil, to which Neil responds with a light-hearted remark.
Teju then receives a call from Rituraj, who checks in to see if she has arrived home safely. She confirms that she has, and he inquires whether her parents had scolded her. Teju indicates that they were about to, raising Neil’s curiosity and prompting him to assume she is speaking to someone special, which leads to Mohit feeling upset. After a brief chat, Teju ends the call.
After bidding farewell to Teju’s family, Neil leaves. Soon after, Mohit and Mukta chastise Teju for traveling to Nagpur to meet Rituraj, expressing their concern over his failure to return their calls. Teju is taken aback and asks how they acquired Rituraj’s phone number. Mohit reveals that they obtained it from her college. Defending Rituraj, Teju remarks that he is a busy celebrity, but Mohit counters that it was Rituraj’s responsibility to ensure her safe return to the bus or train station. He asserts that Neil was the better man in this scenario.
At Neil’s home, his family is curious about his whereabouts that night. Leena suggests he might have been helping a patient, which prompts a teasing remark from Rituraj about Neil’s late-night escapades.
Meanwhile, Amruta presents wedding prospect photos for Neil, asking him to select a bride. Neil, however, pushes the decision back to them, which elicits surprised reactions from his family.
Back at Teju’s place, she attempts to communicate with her parents, but they ignore her. Vedant informs her that they are not speaking to her, as it is her punishment.
**Precap:** Teju prays fervently, wishing for Rituraj to return her love. She suddenly receives a call informing her that her father has been admitted to the hospital, which alarmingly prompts her to try contacting Rituraj. However, he dismisses her concerns, stating he is too busy preparing for his concert and hangs up. In a rush, Teju makes her way to the hospital, where Mohit makes a shocking request—he asks Neil to marry Teju, claiming it’s his last wish, leaving Teju in stunned disbelief.
