The episode begins with Prachi questioning the need for Priyanshi to pursue dance, suggesting that as a girl, she may not achieve much from it. Jhanak counters that everyone has wings but only a few choose to fly, emphasizing that Priyanshi isn’t doing anything wrong. Mehek asks if Prachi will join them, to which Prachi wonders what to tell Ketki. Jhanak proposes lying about going out to shop for Priyanshi’s outfit to impress the guy, a suggestion Mehek supports.
Prachi expresses her concerns about getting caught, but Priyanshi urges Jhanak not to pressure Prachi. She insists that Prachi has never prioritized herself and doesn’t need to now. Prachi clarifies that she never said that and reminds Priyanshi that the world is changing and she wants to study. However, when Prachi insists that it isn’t possible, Jhanak reassures her that Vihaan will accompany them, shielding Prachi from any blame.
Despite Prachi’s doubts about Ketki allowing them to go shopping, Mehek insists they’ll cross that bridge when they get to it, believing Vihaan can convince Ketki. Prachi confesses she longs to see Priyanshi dance on stage and receive applause, wanting her to achieve her dreams but feeling too timid to oppose their family. Jhanak encourages Priyanshi to overcome her fears, expressing confidence in her talents as a dancer. Overjoyed, Priyanshi hugs Jhanak as she checks her costume and ghunghroo.
Meanwhile, Arundhati confides in Choton about her financial struggles in providing jewelry for Meenu, while Anjana suggests that it is her responsibility to handle the situation. Tanuja questions whether Lalon will provide any financial assistance, to which Anjana retorts that Tanuja will think whatever she wants. Aniruddh reassures them that he will ensure the marriage preparations go smoothly, regardless of their situation.
Ketki confronts Vihaan about his shopping trip to the city, suspecting Jhanak’s influence. Mehek explains that they want Priyanshi to make a good impression on the guy, and they plan to return soon. Ketki firmly states that Priyanshi will not go out today, questioning if she has any other outfits and insisting that Priyanshi doesn’t need to overdo her appearance, asserting that times have changed.
In the meantime, Anjana checks in with Aniruddh about Arshi’s health. Aniruddh assures her that Arshi is fine and can lead a normal life. Arshi reveals her desire to go to Gujarat for Ahaan’s birthday party but is met with Shubhankar’s concern about her traveling so soon. She insists on getting the doctor’s permission, feeling stifled by staying indoors. Aniruddh cautions her against taking risks, but Arshi persists, saying she’ll obtain the necessary clearance.
Ketki berates Prachi, while Vihaan defends her, stating it isn’t her fault. Sejal questions why Prachi avoids going out, noting that no one forced her to join them. Mehek insists that someone mature needs to stay home to oversee things.
Jhanak then arrives with Priyanshi, prompting Ketki to mock her, accusing her of swaying Vihaan’s opinions. Vihaan defends Jhanak, asserting she hasn’t influenced him. Ketki reprimands Prachi for planning the outing and instructs Priyanshi to stay simple, telling her to rest so she appears fresh for the guy’s family. She sends Priyanshi inside, while Jhanak contemplates finding another solution.
Later on, the host announces a dance event, and Jhanak praises Priyanshi’s beauty. Despite her excitement, Priyanshi expresses anxiety about returning home afterward. Jhanak instructs her to concentrate on her performance, assuring her that Vihaan will come to pick them up.
**Precap:** Vihaan tells Jhanak that Arshi may join them with Aniruddh, while Aniruddh hints at a surprise for Arshi in Gujarat.
