The episode opens dramatically with Meher confronting Arjun, delivering an ultimatum that he must marry Shabnam or else she and Zoravar will leave the house. Arjun, taken aback, accuses them of emotional blackmail, feeling cornered by the pressure from his family. Kamla and Balveer echo Meher’s sentiments, adding their own pressure to the situation. Arjun, feeling overwhelmed, asserts that they should also consider Shabnam’s feelings and decisions regarding the marriage.
Meanwhile, at another location, Shabnam is seen confiding in Ranbir, Meghla, and Simran. She expresses her reluctance to marry Arjun, stating that he doesn’t truly understand her. Ranbir, trying to be the voice of reason, persuades Shabnam to reconsider, arguing that Arjun’s actions stem from genuine love for her. He emphasizes that love can sometimes manifest in ways that might not be immediately apparent.
Back at the Bajwa household, Meher reassures Arjun, telling him not to worry about Shabnam’s decision. However, she emphasizes that they want his opinion on marrying Shabnam. After a moment of contemplation, Arjun finally agrees to marry Shabnam, though he remains curious about her stance on the matter. Balveer expresses confidence that Ranbir and his cousins will successfully convince Shabnam to accept Arjun’s proposal.
Meanwhile, Meghla praises Arjun, encouraging Shabnam to marry him. The atmosphere lightens as Harman playfully teases Ranbir about his notions of true love, while Param jokes about his own romantic prospects, wondering when he will find a partner. Harman advises him to be patient, adding humor to the situation. Simran joins the conversation, further persuading Shabnam to agree to the marriage, emphasizing the benefits of the union.
At this moment, Amarjeet approaches Arjun, expressing concern about the aging of his parents and urging him to marry soon. Arjun, feeling the weight of his family’s expectations, insists that he doesn’t want Shabnam to feel pressured into marrying him.
In a parallel storyline, we shift to Sen’s house, where Chandan attempts to engage Mahua in a serious conversation. Initially resistant, Mahua eventually agrees to listen. Chandan expresses his concerns about Adrija, warning Mahua that if Adrija tries to harm Meghla, there will be serious consequences. Mahua becomes upset, feeling that Chandan doesn’t trust their daughter. Chandan counters, stating that it is their responsibility as parents to guide Adrija and help her become a better person. He shares his suspicions about Adrija’s involvement in the turmoil surrounding Meghla, breaking down as he reminisces about Adrija’s childhood. Mahua, moved by his emotions, also gets teary-eyed but blames Ranbir for Adrija’s current struggles. Chandan reminds her that if Adrija were married to Ranbir, it wouldn’t ensure happiness for either of their daughters or for Ranbir himself. He emphasizes that while loving someone isn’t a crime, plotting to ruin someone else’s life is.
Returning to the Bajwa household, Arjun pleads with Amarjeet not to speak of passing away, as both she and Balraj have yet to meet Ranbir and Param’s future children. Amarjeet expresses her desire to play with Arjun’s children, which makes him shy and flustered. Meanwhile, Shabnam reiterates to Meghla, Ranbir, and his cousins that it’s crucial to understand Arjun’s decision regarding marriage. They all rally together, convincing Shabnam to agree to the marriage, claiming they are representing Arjun’s genuine interest in her. With their encouragement, Shabnam finally agrees, bringing a wave of happiness to the group. Meghla rushes downstairs to share the joyful news, followed closely by Ranbir and his cousins.
However, the mood shifts dramatically as Mahua breaks down, lamenting how their lives have turned upside down. She expresses regret about bringing Meghla into their lives, which shocks Chandan. He advises her against speaking such thoughts, fearing it might hurt Meghla. Mahua insists that Chandan should bring Adrija back home, but he explains that Adrija is uninterested in returning. Mahua, frustrated, states that she cannot bear to see her daughter suffer in Ranbir’s household. Chandan’s concern for Adrija deepens, and he feels the weight of the situation.
Just then, Meghla bursts in to announce that Shabnam has agreed to marry Arjun, and the family erupts in joy. However, their celebration is abruptly interrupted when a police team arrives, asking for Meghla. Confusion and shock sweep over the family as they try to comprehend the unexpected visit.
**Precap:** In a tense moment, Ranbir confronts the inspector, demanding to know why they want to meet Meghla. Adrija interjects, declaring that Meghla has committed a crime. Ranbir, protective, tells her not to interfere, but Adrija defiantly defends her statement, adding that Meghla may end up in prison forever. The revelation leaves everyone in shock, setting the stage for a dramatic turn of events.
