The episode opens with a dramatic moment as Rituraj stands frozen in disbelief upon seeing Teju dressed as Neil’s bride. The surprise is mutual, as Teju is equally taken aback to find Rituraj at the wedding. Prachi steps in to introduce Teju to the gathering, presenting her as Neil’s wife, while Neil reciprocates by introducing Rituraj as his brother to Teju. This initial encounter sets the stage for a series of revelations and interactions that follow.
Later, Nandini engages Teju in conversation, bringing up Rituraj and referring to him as the “lover boy” of their family. She explains that although many girls are drawn to him, he has never genuinely loved anyone. Nandini’s comments suggest that Rituraj views love as merely a four-letter word, and she makes a pointed remark about his rather dismissive attitude towards relationships.
As the festivities continue, Prachi and the others begin to tease Rituraj, playfully claiming that Teju is a superior singer compared to him. In a light-hearted moment, Neil invites Rituraj to join them for a meal, but Rituraj declines, citing an important meeting that he must attend. He offers his congratulations to Neil and attempts to make his exit, but Neil’s cousins intervene. They remind Rituraj of his earlier promise to attend the wedding and express their surprise that he is already planning to leave.
In a sarcastic tone, Rituraj praises Neil, pointing out the irony that while many considered Neil to be a player, he has now proven to be the biggest player by meeting Teju at a concert and marrying her shortly thereafter. He then confronts Teju, expressing his disappointment that she didn’t inform him about the wedding. Teju retorts, reminding him that she had given him the first invitation, but he had shown little interest at the time. This exchange leads Rituraj to reflect on the moment he once proposed to Teju, questioning her silence regarding their potential marriage.
Prachi interjects with an explanation about the wedding’s origins, revealing that it was initially arranged between Juhi and Neil. However, Juhi had fled, not wanting to marry him, which led to the unexpected match with Teju. Upon hearing this, Rituraj quickly concocts an excuse to leave the venue, clearly uncomfortable with the situation.
As the ceremony progresses, Teju and Neil take a moment to seek blessings from their elders. Omi approaches Teju, reassuring her that although she may feel wronged today, she will eventually come to understand that Neil is a wonderful person. His kind words serve to comfort her amid the chaos of the day.
In a poignant moment, Teju tells Lakshmi that she should be happy now that Teju is leaving the house. Lakshmi responds by acknowledging that Aditi has learned manners largely because of Teju’s influence. Prajakta also takes the opportunity to apologize to Teju for the wrongs her family has committed, and Teju graciously forgives her, assigning her the responsibility of helping Aditi with her studies.
Teju then approaches Satish to seek his blessings, but he refuses, stating that it doesn’t matter whether he blesses her or not since she has married into the family that his daughter was supposed to join. He urges her to find happiness in her new life. Deepali steps in to comfort Teju, advising her not to take Satish’s harsh words to heart, as he is still grieving the loss of Juhi.
As the episode draws to a close, Teju and Neil prepare to leave for Neil’s house, marking a new chapter in their lives together.
