The episode opens with Neil asking Leena if they can cancel the wedding planned for Sunday. Leena and the rest of the family question Neil about his reasons for wanting to back out. He expresses that he isn’t ready for marriage. Leena responds, saying it feels like she’s speaking to Rituraj instead of Neil. Alok reassures Neil, acknowledging that getting cold feet is common and encouraging him not to worry. Neil remarks on this.
Manjari enters and chimes in, criticizing the family for pushing Neil into a marriage against his wishes. She advises Neil not to proceed if he’s not ready, sharing her own experience of being forced into a marriage that ultimately left her alone with a broken home. Manjari tells Neil that she stands by him in this moment.
Leena defends the family’s intentions, stating they only wanted what was best for Manjari. Manjari responds critically, prompting Neil to intervene and stop the escalating argument. He agrees to meet the girl on Sunday but makes it clear he is not interested in marrying her. Neil leaves, and Leena ponders the reasons behind his sudden change in behavior.
Neil thinks to himself that he will attend the meeting with the girl on Sunday but has no intention of going through with the marriage.
Meanwhile, Sonali informs Mukta and her children that they can only stay in Lakshmi’s room, as there are no other available rooms. Lakshmi objects, feeling that Sonali is trying to push them out of the house, insisting that putting Mukta and her children in her room is unfair. Sonali maintains that there are no other accommodations left. Mukta urges Lakshmi not to argue and suggests they can sleep in the verandah, but Aditi protests that sleeping outside is not a good idea due to the mosquitoes. Aditi adds that if Mohit were alive, he would have taken care of their needs, and she intends to do her best to care for them now. Lakshmi comments on the situation.
Teju suggests to Mukta that they should return home and not stay there, promising they will find another way. Mukta reminds Teju and Vedaant that the house in Amaravti was government property, and now that Mohit is gone, that house no longer belongs to them; they need to stay where they are.
The episode concludes.
