The episode begins with Jhanak dancing when Prachi warns that everything will be ruined if Ketki sees them. Sejal witnesses the scene and decides to leave. Vihaan hears the music and, thinking Priyanshi and Riddhi are in his room dancing, rushes in. To his relief, he finds Jhanak dancing instead. She stops when she sees him, and Prachi explains that Priyanshi and Riddhi wanted to learn some dance steps from Jhanak.
Mehek asks Vihaan if he knows about Jhanak’s dancing skills, to which he replies affirmatively. Priyanshi excitedly mentions the school dance performance, but Vihaan cautions her that Ketki will be upset if she finds out. Priyanshi insists that she loves dancing, and Mehek encourages Vihaan to support them, stating it’s Priyanshi’s last performance.
On another front, Bipasha warns Choton not to change his decision about Meenu, believing that Meenu will take charge of the house if she marries in. Arundati tells Choton he must make amends with Meenu, while Anjana scolds him for how he treated her and vows never to forgive him. Choton feels torn, thinking he has also faced insult.
Vihaan stresses to Mehek that they cannot proceed without Ketki’s approval, but Mehek insists Ketki won’t find out. Jhanak chimes in, saying Priyanshi is not doing anything wrong with her love for dance. Vihaan asks her to stay out of it, but Jhanak argues that dancing could help Priyanshi become a great dancer in the future. Prachi insists Priyanshi won’t be dancing, while Priyanshi firmly states she wants to dance, leading Vihaan to reiterate that such things aren’t allowed in their house.
Meanwhile, Arshi struggles to get up and asks for medicine, wondering if Aniruddh has forgotten to call. When Shubhankar and Tanuja arrive, Tanuja suggests Arshi stay with Aniruddh at the flat for a few days to avoid the ongoing drama at home, which is increasing her stress. Arshi expresses her preference to remain with her family, believing she cannot be alone while Aniruddh is at work. Tanuja assures her that she will stay with her until Aniruddh returns and they can even hire a maid if needed.
Bipasha and Laal overhear their conversation. Bipasha accuses Tanuja of wanting to escape household chores by staying at the flat with Arshi. Laal tells her she’s overthinking it. The tension escalates when Shubhankar tells them to leave the room. Bipasha insists she is there to help Arshi, but Arshi declines the assistance. When Bipasha remarks that Arshi isn’t facing any true problems, Tanuja pushes back, reminding her that Arshi is pregnant. Bipasha then demands that Shubhankar give the flat to her and Laal instead, claiming Arshi doesn’t want it. Shubhankar scolds Bipasha for her selfishness, and she accuses Tanuja of trying to send Arshi away to shirk her domestic responsibilities before leaving with Laal. Arshi, sensing Aniruddh won’t agree to the plan, suggests they discuss it with him first.
Later, Aniruddh comes home, and Arshi asks if he has located Jhanak. He responds that Jhanak should be fine, but he hasn’t seen her, making Arshi suspect he is lying.
Meanwhile, Meenu argues with her father, insisting she doesn’t want to hear anything against the Basu family. Her father warns her about the hardships she may face if she marries into that family, but Meenu stands her ground, asserting her independence. As tensions rise, he collapses from a heart attack, leaving Meenu shocked.
Back in the earlier scene, Jhanak passionately defends the girls’ right to happiness and education, urging Prachi to support her daughter. Prachi is moved to tears by Jhanak’s words, feeling the weight of her daughter’s happiness.
**Precap:** Aniruddh tells Vihaan that Arshi’s condition has worsened. Vihaan requests Arshi’s medical report and plans to arrive in Kolkata with Jhanak, shocking her with the news.
