The episode opens with Prachi declaring that today, Priyanshi will understand the cost of fulfilling her dreams. Mehek reassures her that Priyanshi’s aspirations will be met, adding that Pulkit will soon realize he’s marrying a smart girl. Concerned about how to explain Priyanshi’s absence to Ketki, Prachi suggests telling her that Priyanshi is staying indoors. Mehek agrees and notes that if Jhanak were with them, Ketki wouldn’t even think to question Priyanshi.
As the haldi ceremony approaches, Jhanak informs Prachi that she will help Priyanshi escape before joining the festivities. Priyanshi, anxious about running late, confides in Mehek that she feels nervous about the competition. Prachi reassures her, stating that Sejal will definitely look for Priyanshi.
Jhanak encourages Prachi to remain optimistic and remind her that Priyanshi wants to achieve something meaningful in her life and that Pulkit is there to support her. She emphasizes that Sejal is happy with her life and wants that for everyone, even if it’s not feasible. Jhanak urges Priyanshi to seek Prachi’s blessings before they leave.
After receiving Prachi’s blessings, Priyanshi expresses her gratitude but laments that she hasn’t done enough for her sister. Prachi reassures her that her happiness lies in Priyanshi’s success. Jhanak insists they won’t get caught and asks Priyanshi to be careful, advising her to exit through the back door as they make their escape.
Meanwhile, Ketki asks Sejal where Prachi and Jhanak are. Sejal notes that even Mehek is absent and hints that they might be concocting a plan since it’s Priyanshi’s competition day. Just then, Prachi and Mehek enter the scene. When Ketki inquires about Jhanak, Prachi claims she’s busy making rangoli, and Mehek complements Jhanak’s artistry. Prachi suggests it’s time to begin the haldi ceremony, and the celebration kicks off with lively music and dancing.
Outside, Jhanak and Priyanshi, cloaked in veils, make their way discreetly. Bhavesh spots them and questions their whereabouts, but Jhanak lies, saying Ketki sent them to do some work. After he leaves, Priyanshi thanks Jhanak for her support, and Jhanak expresses that Pulkit deserves respect for his backing. They spot Pulkit’s car, and Jhanak wishes Priyanshi the best as she climbs in before Jhanak departs.
Meanwhile, Sejal notices the expressions on Prachi and Mehek’s faces and confronts Jhanak about Priyanshi’s whereabouts. Jhanak maintains that she hasn’t seen Priyanshi, suggesting she must be in her room. Ketki scolds Jhanak for her tardiness and demands sweets.
In another scene, Vihaan arrives at the airport to pick up Aniruddh and Arshi. Arshi inquires about Vihaan’s wife, to which he replies that she is occupied with wedding festivities. Upon reaching Vihaan’s house, he informs Aniruddh and Arshi about the haldi ceremony.
Episode Ends.
