The episode begins with Teju questioning Mukta about whether she told the Chavan family that she does not wish to proceed with the marriage. Mukta confirms she informed them but feels Teju knows how unyielding the Chavan family can be. Teju expresses frustration, stating they cannot continue living under their control. Mukta, however, suggests that Teju needs to learn how to adapt. Teju challenges this, saying she shouldn’t have to adjust for people who want to dictate their lives. She highlights that the Chavan family is pushing her marriage against her will and is making Vedaant enroll in a government school. Mukta counters that many successful individuals have attended government schools.
Manjari discusses with Neil the importance of making his own choices regarding marriage instead of leaving it to his parents. Neil explains that he has trust in his parents. He questions if a person can change their decision, to which Manjari responds that he must fight for his own happiness in this household. Amai, Nandini, and Prachi overhear them. Amai and Nandini advise Neil to ignore Manjari, accusing her of instigating him against them. Amai challenges Manjari about her involvement, and she clarifies that she would typically stay quiet, but since this concerns Neil, she feels compelled to speak up.
Mukta confides in Teju about a strange comment from Neil at the temple, revealing that he expressed a desire to marry her and stated he would wait for their decision. Teju reacts strongly, saying that this cannot happen and questions why Mukta hasn’t outright rejected him. Mukta insists that she did turn down Neil’s proposal, but he mentioned he wanted to marry Teju. Teju believes Neil’s interest is rooted in pity due to their circumstances, which Mukta disputes, defending Neil’s character and noting his past efforts for their family. Teju vehemently refuses to accept Neil’s proposal.
Nandini and Manjari engage in a heated argument over the definition of family. Neil urges them to cease their conflict and comments on the situation. Prachi reminds Neil that they have plans to visit Juno’s house the following day and asks if he will join. Amai advises Neil to focus on Juhi during the visit. Manjari reassures Neil that he doesn’t owe anyone an explanation. Prachi requests that Manjari refrain from interfering when Amai and Nandini speak to Neil. Amai questions Manjari about when she will move on from her past. Manjari refuses to forget or forgive and leaves the scene, prompting Neil to ask Amai and others to give him space.
The next day, Bhushan announces plans to visit the Chavan family to set the wedding date, expressing confidence that Neil will comply. Vinod expresses doubt about the ease of the situation, recalling previous events. Amruta mentions Teju, prompting Jeetu to defend her, stating that they shouldn’t blame Teju for her father’s mistakes and that Teju is a preferable choice over Juhi. Leena, however, firmly states that she will not accept Teju as a daughter-in-law and threatens to leave if Neil brings her home against her will. Jeetu and Bhushan inquire about Leena’s aversion to Teju, but Leena keeps her reasons to herself, reflecting on how Mohit once ridiculed her feelings, vowing to never allow Mohit’s daughter to join their family.
The episode concludes with Leena taunting Teju regarding her feelings about Neil and Juhi’s impending marriage.
