The episode opens with Neil expressing his concern to Teju, stating that everyone at home must be eagerly waiting for their return. He conveys his happiness regarding her dedication to her dreams and makes a heartfelt promise to assist her in achieving them. However, Teju responds with bitterness, asserting that she does not require his help, as he has already ruined her life by marrying her. She confronts him, questioning why he agreed to marry her knowing that she did not love him. Teju’s frustration grows as she wonders aloud about Juhi’s sudden decision to flee from the wedding, directly confronting Neil and demanding to know what he did to cause Juhi to back out. Neil reflects on a pivotal moment when he confessed to Juhi that his heart belonged to Teju.
Meanwhile, in a different part of the house, Leela is busy decorating the home in anticipation of welcoming the new bride. She instructs Nandi to fetch the special gift they had purchased for Juhi. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as family members encourage Bhushan to break the news to Leena that Neil is now married to Teju. Just then, Leena arrives and inquires about the hushed conversations. Bhushan seizes the moment to remind her of how Poornima had graciously welcomed her into the family. Leena acknowledges the memory fondly, expressing how much she misses Poornima. Bhushan urges her to extend a warm welcome to her new daughter-in-law, just as Poornima had done for her. Leena insists that she will love Juhi even more than she loves her own daughter, Prachi.
Back with Neil and Teju, the tension escalates as Neil maintains that he has done nothing wrong. Teju, however, points out that Juhi had been excited about the wedding until the unfortunate incident at the hospital, demanding to know what transpired. She accuses Neil of being responsible for Juhi’s change of heart and presses him to reveal the truth. Reluctantly, Neil admits that he told Juhi he could not love her or make her happy because his heart belonged to someone else. Teju is taken aback by this revelation. Neil insists that Juhi deserved to know the truth, claiming he could not keep her in the dark any longer. Teju, feeling vindicated, blames Neil for everything that has unfolded.
As Neil attempts to reach out and hold her hand, seeking to explain that the situation was not entirely his fault, Teju pulls away, rejecting his touch. He promises to respect her wishes, support her ambitions, and always prioritize her needs. Teju, however, rebuffs his assurances, and Neil confesses his deep love for her, asserting that his feelings are sufficient for both of them. When he mentions Mohit, Teju’s father, she reacts with anger, warning him not to invoke her father’s name. She makes it clear that he will never earn her forgiveness.
In another part of the house, Leena spots Rithuraj and questions him about his late arrival, mentioning that she heard he was also tardy for the wedding. Rithuraj dismisses her concerns. She invites him to stay for the bride’s welcome, but Rithuraj states that he has work related to a new song and attempts to leave. Bhushan intervenes, questioning why Rithuraj is not participating in the wedding festivities. Yash suggests that Rithuraj might be upset due to a woman’s rejection, while Nandini urges him to consider the circumstances. Leena, puzzled, asks Nandini to clarify her statement. Rithuraj then comments on Yash and Prachi’s dynamic, advising them to stay within their limits.
Returning to Neil and Teju, Neil reiterates that he has done nothing wrong, claiming he merely told Juhi the truth about his feelings. Teju asserts that she is justified in her feelings, declaring that Neil has destroyed her life. She reminds him of their earlier conversations, emphasizing that they were never meant to be together. Although she acknowledges that Neil is a good person, she points out that every girl has specific qualities she desires in a husband, and Neil has ruined everything. Neil listens in silence, absorbing her words. Teju provocatively asks if he feels bad, insisting that she is only speaking the truth. The tension between them escalates, and they both exit the scene.
Meanwhile, Leena speaks to Rithuraj, questioning his demeanor and reminding him that Yash and Prachi were only teasing him. Rithuraj retorts that they are overstepping their boundaries. Leena urges him to be happy, as Neil and Juhi are expected to arrive at any moment.
As Neil and Teju finally arrive at the Pradhan house, Leena prepares to welcome Neil and Juhi with open arms. However, her expression shifts to shock upon seeing Neil and Teju together. Leena demands to know what Teju is doing there. Vinod and Bhushan step in to explain that Juhi ran away from the wedding, leading to Neil’s marriage with Teju. Leena, taken aback by this revelation, chastises Vinod and Bhushan for not informing her of such significant news. Manjari tries to calm her, assuring her that Neil is happy with his new marriage. Leena, however, is more concerned about her own happiness and reminds Neil that she had previously warned him against marrying Teju, yet he went ahead with the decision anyway.
Precap
In the upcoming scenes, Leena firmly refuses to accept Teju as Neil’s bride, closing the door on both Teju and Neil’s faces. Vinod tells Teju that this is her first test as a daughter-in-law in the family, urging her to convince Leena of her worth. Rituraj comments on the unfolding drama surrounding Teju and her new role.
