Meanwhile, a conversation unfolds between Bablu and Bipasha. Bablu urges Bipasha to inform Laal about her plans. Bipasha responds by stating that she intends to meet with a lawyer. Laal, overhearing this, accuses Bipasha of deception, insisting that she is not being truthful. In her defense, Bipasha explains that Nandini owns a house, which she plans to sell in order to provide financial support to Sarveshwar. Laal, however, is adamant that he will not allow Bipasha to leave. Bablu interjects, warning Bipasha that even if Sarveshwar receives the money, he will continue to pursue her. Bipasha pleads with Bablu to understand her situation, and after a tense moment, Bablu reluctantly tells her to return quickly. As Bipasha departs, Laal chastises Bablu for permitting her to go.

Anjana approaches Bablu, suggesting that he should consider opening a textiles business, given his knowledge of clothing. Bablu counters that he lacks the necessary funds. Amitabh steps in, reminding Bablu that he can use the money he received from selling their village house. Bablu remains skeptical, stating that starting a business is not as simple as it sounds. Amitabh advises him to take a break, while Arundhati asks Anjana to make tea. Anjana hesitates, revealing her vow not to step into the kitchen until Jhanak returns.

As the court proceedings commence, Aniruddh meets with his lawyer to discuss Jhanak’s case. The lawyer encourages Aniruddh to have faith in him and introduces himself to Jhanak. Jhanak asserts her desire to defend herself, and the lawyer reassures her to remain confident and unafraid. Jhanak, with determination, insists that she is innocent.
The judge enters, and the hearing begins. Mr. Roy, the opposing counsel, claims that Jhanak has an accomplice present. Jhanak vehemently denies this accusation. Mr. Roy then calls Sunita to the witness stand, alleging that Jhanak promised to hand over a baby to her and that she had intended to steal the child from Omkar’s wife. Aniruddh interjects, defending Jhanak and asserting that Mr. Roy is lying. The judge warns Aniruddh to remain silent.
Sunita’s testimony is riddled with falsehoods, claiming that Jhanak made a deal with her. Jhanak counters, declaring that she does not know Sunita at all. Jhanak’s lawyer challenges Mr. Roy, asking whether any concrete evidence exists to support his claims, emphasizing that the court requires proof. Sunita insists she spoke with Jhanak, but Jhanak rebukes her, questioning how Sunita can face her family after lying. She tells the judge that this is the first time she has seen Sunita and accuses her of fabricating stories for financial gain.
Jhanak’s lawyer reveals to the judge that Sunita had previously been arrested for providing false testimony in court. He presents evidence that Sunita was involved in a child trafficking case. Aniruddh applauds this revelation, proclaiming that the truth will always prevail. Meanwhile, Arshi urges Shubhankar to keep Aniruddh composed.
Jhanak is granted permission to speak and takes the opportunity to share her life story with the judge. She mentions that her biological mother, Srishti, is present in the courtroom but states that she does not recognize her as her mother. Jhanak reveals that her sister, Arshi, has filed a case against her and recounts her tumultuous marriage to Aniruddh, clarifying that it was based on deception. Aniruddh protests, insisting that their marriage was genuine. Lalon advises Aniruddh to remain calm, while Choton encourages him to let Jhanak speak.
Arshi expresses her indignation to Srishti, who advises her to wait for her turn to speak. Jhanak continues, explaining how Aniruddh brought her to his home and detailing the difficulties she faced due to Srishti and Arshi’s actions. She reveals that she has met her father and learned the truth about Srishti’s past.
**Precap:** Arshi accuses Jhanak of deliberately withholding information about her surgery from the family. In response, Aniruddh passionately defends Jhanak, standing by her side amidst the unfolding drama.
