The episode opens with Neil questioning Teju about how Mohit could possibly have suffered a heart attack. He expresses disbelief, recalling that he spoke to Mohit just the night before. When Teju inquires about their conversation, Neil assures her he will share the details when the time is right, to which she agrees. He then reveals that he is on his way to see her, catching Teju off guard as she asks if he’s traveling all the way from Nagpur. Neil confirms he is. Concerned for Vedaant, Neil asks how he is holding up. Teju responds that Vedaant has been crying incessantly, and Neil requests to speak with him. Teju calls Vedaant over to the phone.
Neil gently encourages Vedaant not to let his emotions overwhelm him and reminds him of his responsibility to support his family. Vedaant listens attentively and agrees. Meanwhile, Mohit’s father notices Teju on the phone and inquires about who she is speaking to. Teju responds that it’s someone close to Mohit.
In another scene, Leena admires some jewelry when Vinod enters the room and insists they need to come clean about Neil’s true identity with the girl. Leena, puzzled, asks what he means, but before Vinod can explain, Neil arrives and knocks at the door. Just as he does, Prachi approaches him and asks him to pick a photo for their album. Neil, lost in thought, gazes at a picture of himself with his parents.
Back in the room, Vinod finally reveals to Leena that Neil is not their biological son. Leena firmly opposes sharing this information with anyone. Vinod counters, questioning what they will do if the girl asks about it after marrying Neil. Leena dismissively states that if the girl considers this information important post-marriage, it will be her misfortune.
Vinod reminds Leena that they had previously agreed to tell Neil the truth when the time was appropriate. However, whenever he has tried to discuss it, she has stopped him. Leena stands her ground, insisting she will never disclose this secret. She then pressures Vinod to promise he will also keep it to himself. Understanding the seriousness of the situation, Vinod agrees, stating that since this truth concerns both of them, he will not divulge it without her approval. Leena seems satisfied with this arrangement.
Meanwhile, Neil approaches Leena and expresses that he needs to discuss something important with her.
**Precap:** Mohit’s family makes plans to take Mukta and her children to Nagpur. In response, Lakshmi, furious about this decision, vows to set fire to the house if Mohit’s parents bring Mukta and her children into it.
