The episode opens with Teju expressing her conflicted feelings to Neil, stating that she cannot destroy Juhi’s life for her own happiness. She then turns to Mukta, explaining that she had a conversation with Neil to clarify everything, hoping he wouldn’t act impulsively. Teju acknowledges that Neil is a genuinely good guy, remarking on how rare it is to find someone like him these days. Mukta responds positively, agreeing that it’s commendable that Teju recognizes Neil’s qualities, and she attempts to persuade Teju to accept him. However, Teju remains resolute in her refusal.
Mukta probes further, asking Teju if her thoughts are still lingering on Rituraj, insisting that she will never accept him. Teju questions how Mukta can be so sure of that. Mukta explains that she knows Rituraj well enough to understand that he wouldn’t be interested in her, especially since Teju currently has nothing to offer him—she’s merely a fan in his eyes. Teju retorts that Mukta doesn’t truly know Rituraj, asserting that he genuinely likes her. Mukta challenges this by asking where Rituraj was when they faced their problems. Teju responds that he was on a tour in the U.S. and decides to reach out to Neil, believing he should have returned to India by now. Mukta disapproves of this idea, expressing her concerns.
The following day, Yash calls for the entire Pradhan family to gather quickly. When they emerge, they find Rituraj has returned home, joyfully singing a song to celebrate Neil’s upcoming wedding.
After his lively performance, Rituraj turns to Leena, asking for her opinion on how he did. Leena praises him, saying his performance was “rocking and shocking.” Both Leena and Vinod inquire how Rituraj learned about Neil’s wedding plans. Rituraj casually mentions that he always keeps tabs on Neil, showcasing his playful side.
Rituraj playfully teases Neil about his engagement, asking who the bride is. Yash chimes in, revealing that the bride’s name is Juhi, noting that she is as shy as Neil. As Rituraj learns that the engagement is scheduled for Sunday, he informs Vinod and Leena that he won’t be able to attend due to a concert on the same day. He shares stories of his successful U.S. tour with Neil’s family, further enhancing the celebratory mood.
While enjoying a meal, Rituraj expresses his desire to meet Juhi at least once. Leena eagerly offers to call Juhi and invite her over. Neil, wanting to talk to Juhi too, decides to take a half-day leave from work.
Rituraj continues to tease Neil, jokingly suggesting that he has a liking for Juhi. Neil clarifies that Juhi wasn’t his choice but rather a decision made by his family, leaving him with no other option but to accept it. Jeetu, another family member, comments on the situation, adding to the light-hearted banter.
Meanwhile, Teju struggles to make round rotis in the kitchen. Aditi steps in to teach her a trick, while Lakshmi makes a light-hearted comment about Teju’s cooking skills, questioning whether Mukta hasn’t taught her anything. Teju responds with a witty remark, and both Lakshmi and Satish join in on the teasing.
As the day winds down, Neil attempts to retreat to his room, but Rituraj playfully teases him again, using Juhi’s name to provoke a reaction.
Precap
In a surprising turn, Teju resolves to earn money through her music to cover Vedaant’s school fees. However, Lakshmi strongly disagrees with her plan. Neil witnesses the exchange, sensing the tension in the air as the family dynamics continue to unfold.
