The episode opens with a vibrant atmosphere as Neil and Teju stand before their family and friends, joyfully placing garlands around each other’s necks in a traditional exchange that symbolizes their union. The priest, a central figure in the ceremony, then calls upon Teju’s parents to step forward for the significant kanyadaan ritual, which represents the giving away of the bride. However, Mukta, a close family member, steps forward with a heavy heart to reveal that Teju’s father has passed away, casting a momentary shadow over the celebration.
In a show of solidarity and love, Omi and Sonali, who are also family, offer to perform the kanyadaan in place of Teju’s father. Their willingness to step in during this poignant moment brings comfort to Teju and honors her father’s memory, allowing the ceremony to continue with warmth and affection.
Next, the priest turns his attention to Manjari, requesting her to tie the gatbandhan, a sacred knot that symbolizes the couple’s bond. With grace and care, Manjari completes this important task, signifying the couple’s commitment to each other. Following this, Neil gently places the mangalsutra, a sacred necklace symbolizing marriage, around Teju’s neck and applies sindoor to her hairline, marking her as his wife. This intimate moment is filled with emotion as Neil and Teju then take the pheras, circling the sacred fire together, which is a crucial part of the wedding ceremony. As they complete the rounds, the priest joyfully declares that their marriage is now complete, sealing their vows with blessings.
As the ceremony unfolds, Vedaant makes a heartfelt request of Neil, asking him to promise that he will always care for Teju and ensure that she never sheds a tear. Neil, filled with love and determination, agrees wholeheartedly, making a vow that resonates deeply with everyone present.
After the formalities, the priest encourages Neil and Teju to seek blessings from their elders, a customary act of respect and gratitude. They approach their family members, receiving warm wishes and blessings that fill the air with love and joy. Yash, with a proud smile, remarks on Teju’s beauty, pointing out how lovely she looks as Neil’s bride. Neil, not to be outdone, adds that Teju’s singing is as enchanting as her appearance, prompting playful teasing from Manjari and the others, who enjoy the lighthearted banter between the newlyweds.
Meanwhile, Jeetu shares a moment with Vinod and Bhushan, noting that this is the first time Neil has appeared genuinely happy since the announcement of the marriage. Vinod, however, brings up a concern, reminding them that Leena, likely a significant figure in Neil’s life, is still unaware of the marriage. He expresses uncertainty about how she will react to the news. In an effort to address this, he decides to call Leena, but Bhushan suggests a more direct approach, advocating for them to visit her in person. He emphasizes the importance of allowing Neil to relish his newfound happiness for the moment. Just then, Omi calls them to join in the feast, but Bhushan declines, stating that they must prioritize talking to Leena. Omi, understanding their urgency, agrees to let them go.
As the festivities continue, Neil’s cousins playfully tease him, urging Teju to showcase her talent by singing. With a warm smile, Teju obliges and sings a beautiful song that captivates everyone, earning her heartfelt praise and applause from the guests.
The atmosphere shifts dramatically when Rituraj makes a striking entrance at the wedding venue, accompanied by a lively song that adds to the excitement. However, his expression quickly changes to one of shock and disbelief as he lays eyes on Teju, now adorned as Neil’s bride. The tension in the air is palpable as Rituraj realizes the significance of the moment.
In the precap, a confrontation looms as Rituraj approaches Teju, demanding to know why she didn’t inform him about her wedding. Teju’s response is laced with intrigue, setting the stage for a dramatic turn in the unfolding story.
