The episode begins with Rithu Raj playfully applying color to Teju and teasing her about not returning the favor. Teju responds by dabbing some color on him too. After a lighthearted moment, Rithu Raj mentions he needs to leave.
In a quiet corner, Neel reflects on the festivities, recalling Teju’s performance. He smiles as he softly sings one of her songs, enjoying his moment alone.
As Rithu Raj exits his caravan, he faces playful teasing from Nandini and others who question him about gifting Teju a gajra and asking for her phone number. Rithu Raj laughs it off, asserting it was merely a token of appreciation. Nandini and Yash continue to jest about the situation, adding to Rithu Raj’s embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Teju convinces Mukta and her friends to head to the market. At home, Lakshmi spots Aditi applying makeup and cynically remarks that such efforts will scare off potential suitors. Aditi fires back, accusing Lakshmi of taking out her frustrations with Mohit on her. This exchange escalates, leading Lakshmi to attempt to hit Aditi, resulting in a chaotic chase around the house.
Mohit’s mother intervenes, telling Lakshmi to stop making a scene. Later on, Lakshmi vents to Mohit’s mother, expressing her feelings of neglect from Mohit. Deepali suggests she should try approaching him with kindness. Lakshmi retorts that it’s hard to be loving toward someone who appears to despise her and feels that Mohit cares for everyone but her.
At the same time, Teju and her friends overhear Neel singing a song that once featured Rithu Raj and Teju. Intrigued, Teju decides to investigate. However, in her eagerness, she accidentally knocks over a basket of colors, spilling it all over Neel. Teju is taken aback when she sees the colorful mess she’s created.
**Precap:** Rithu Raj confesses his feelings for Teju. Later, as Teju waits at night for a bus or taxi and feels uneasy with some rowdy figures nearby, Neel arrives in his car and offers her a ride home.
