The episode begins with Jhanak encouraging Priyanshi to concentrate solely on her dance steps during practice, emphasizing that time is of the essence. Priyanshi expresses her concern about being seen dancing, but Mehek reassures her that they are in a secluded corner room where no one will intrude on their privacy. Jhanak thanks Mehek for assisting Priyanshi, to which Mehek replies that as Priyanshi’s aunt, she wants to support her.
Jhanak recognizes Priyanshi’s talent but is taken aback when Priyanshi confides that she does not wish to get married. Jhanak vows to help her avoid marriage, but Priyanshi doubts her ability to stand against Ketki. Mehek urges Priyanshi to return home from school as soon as possible. Jhanak also promises to bring her sister Prachi to school, knowing how much she wants Priyanshi to succeed. Priyanshi inquires if Prachi will actually come, and Jhanak assures her she will.
As they practice, Priyanshi expresses her desire to succeed in both her studies and dance. She explains that the winner of the dance competition will receive sponsorship for the interschool competition. Mehek notes that the wedding date isn’t set yet, and Jhanak encourages Priyanshi to focus on dancing for now. With Mehek turning on the music, Priyanshi dances while Jhanak helps refine her movements. When Mehek asks how Jhanak mastered the Indian dance form, she reveals that her mother taught her. They conclude their practice successfully.
Meanwhile, Meenu’s father tells Choton that he needs to fix the wedding date soon. When Choton questions staying at Meenu’s house, her father reassures him that he trusts Meenu’s values. Choton nods and heads off to get sweets, and Meenu’s father comments to Anjana that Choton is indeed a good person for making this decision.
The following day, Arundati shares with Shubhankar her desire for everyone to take responsibility for Choton’s wedding. Shubhankar, currently unemployed, expresses his frustration with Anjana, who he feels is always quick to blame him for their financial woes. Anjana counters, reminding him of how he used to command respect when he had money, and she criticizes him for blaming Lalon for their problems. Tanuja adds that Lalon seems to want control over their household, and Anjana retorts that Tanuja has worked hard all these years.
Bipasha urges Laal to ignore the family drama and go to college. Anjana mockingly tells Laal to listen to Bipasha, prompting Laal to ask if she wants him to leave the house. Anjana replies that he should if he continues this behavior. Bipasha defends Laal, accusing Anjana of pushing them out. Arundhati intervenes, reminding everyone that she called them to discuss Choton’s wedding.
Choton expresses his resentment towards those who have never supported him, and Shubhankar dismissively suggests that Choton will be more relaxed now that his wife is earning. He declares he won’t contribute to the wedding, telling Arundati not to expect anything from him. Tanuja echoes this sentiment, while Anjana insists that Bablu will handle the arrangements. When Arundati asks Shubhankar about his savings, Anjana confidently states that they will ensure Choton’s wedding is grand, but Choton states he prefers something simple. Aniruddh enters and asserts that they will oversee the wedding plans, but Laal requests to be excluded from them.
Elsewhere, Jhanak invites Prachi to come to school and watch Priyanshi perform. Prachi resists, fearing Ketki will kick her out if she learns about it, and worries that her mother will never accept her back. Jhanak asks if Prachi trusts her, but Prachi expresses her skepticism and warns that Jhanak is risking their futures. Jhanak emphasizes that they cannot let Priyanshi’s talent go to waste and encourages Prachi to consider the opportunity to spread her wings, while acknowledging that not everyone gets the chance to fly.
The episode ends on a note of tension.
**Precap:** Vihaan informs Jhanak that Aniruddh and Arshi are coming, prompting Jhanak to question if he suspects her motives.
