The episode opens with Aniruddh expressing his desire to meet Avni after their last encounter was interrupted. Vihaan informs him that Avni is currently occupied with a ceremony. Aniruddh mentions he has to head to Mumbai tomorrow, but Vihaan suggests they should enjoy the present day instead.
As the festivities begin, Priyanshi tells Jhanak that the Garba dance will start soon, emphasizing that dancers will take her and Vihaan to the center. Jhanak admits she doesn’t know how to dance, but Priyanshi reassures her that she doesn’t need to; she just has to stand there. Meanwhile, Mehek discusses getting shagun money from Vihaan, while Sejal expresses her desire for shagun as well. She asks Prachi if she doesn’t want any money, to which Prachi replies that she wants Jhanak and Vihaan to remain happy together.
On another note, Srishti confronts Arshi about Aniruddh’s decision to leave her alone. Arshi counters that she has family to support her and insists that Aniruddh deserves a break. Srishti challenges Arshi’s thinking, and a tense conversation ensues.
As the Garba dance performance begins, Bhavesh announces it to the crowd, and the dancers start moving to the Nagada song. Mehek helps Jhanak stand beside Vihaan, and the dancers swirl around them, creating a lively atmosphere. When the dance wraps up, Jhanak returns to her seat, where conversations about Vihaan’s future begin. Bhavesh shares his hopes for Vihaan to open a clinic in the village, and Hitesh suggests it would be beneficial for him to stay for Priyanshi’s wedding.
Praveen Kumar comments on Jhanak’s simplicity and sweetness, but Hitesh expresses skepticism, suggesting that Jhanak might be putting on an act. Sejal warns that Jhanak’s true character will soon be revealed, while Prachi defends her, saying Jhanak is against Priyanshi’s marriage for good reasons. Arguments spark about the benefits of Priyanshi’s potential marriage versus her education, with differing opinions across the group.
Amidst the festivities, Arshi expresses her concern for Jhanak but seems to be misunderstanding Srishti’s point of view. Arshi reveals her fears about her own well-being during her pregnancy, prompting Tanuja to comfort her.
The women approach Ketki, demanding shagun money, to which Ketki responds dismissively. Mehek tells Vihaan he should give shagun money with interest, while Priyanshi eagerly asks for her share. Vihaan distributes shagun to Mehek, Riddhi, and Priyanshi before suggesting his friends also get a gift for Jhanak. Jhanak, feeling overwhelmed, tells Prachi she wants to retreat to her room, but Sejal informs her that Vihaan’s friends are coming over.
Srishti’s concern for Arshi emerges as Arshi compares Jhanak’s situation to her own experiences. Tanuja tries to redirect their conversation away from Jhanak in front of Aniruddh. Meanwhile, Arshi expresses regret for her past actions concerning both Jhanak and Aniruddh.
Eventually, Vihaan introduces Aniruddh to Jhanak. After greetings are exchanged, Vihaan’s friends push Jhanak to remove her veil, and when Sejal unveils her, Aniruddh is stunned to see Jhanak as Vihaan’s wife.
In a parallel storyline, Kul Bhushan reprimands Mr. Mittal for failing to locate Jhanak. Mr. Mittal contacts Rihaan, a special branch officer, who reveals that Jhanak escaped in a truck but promises to track her down soon. He shares a quick admiration for Kul Bhushan, who takes the moment to request a selfie upon Jhanak’s capture.
Back at the celebration, Aniruddh struggles to process the shocking revelation of Jhanak’s identity. Meanwhile, Jhanak hopes Aniruddh won’t expose her truth to anyone, feeling weary of the chaos around her. Vihaan reassures Jhanak that Aniruddh is a dear friend of his. Following this tension-filled moment, Aniruddh quietly exits.
**Precap:** Jhanak confronts Aniruddh, asserting that he no longer has the right to question her.
