The episode begins with Ketki expressing her suspicion that Arshi knows something about Jhanak that Vihaan is unaware of. Mehek responds, suggesting that Arshi might be upset with Aniruddh and urges Ketki not to unjustly accuse Jhanak. In turn, Ketki tells Mehek to mind her own business and return to Praveen Kumar’s house. Mehek warns that if she leaves today, she won’t come back. Ketki retorts that Mehek should focus on her own happiness with her husband and in-laws, declaring that she won’t pardon Jhanak.
Prachi attempts to calm Ketki, insisting that there’s no reason for her accusations, while Sejal indicates that she has suspected Jhanak all along. She presses Jhanak to disclose what she is hiding from Vihaan, but Jhanak maintains that she has done nothing wrong and is hiding nothing.
At that moment, Arshi enters, and Sejal declares that the truth will be revealed. She inquires about Arshi’s sudden departure, leading Ketki to ask the same. Arshi reveals that Vihaan married Avni, and Prachi insists that Jhanak is Avni. Ketki clarifies to Arshi that Vihaan married in America, and they are unaware of his affairs. She reminds Arshi that Vihaan recently returned with his wife and son. Arshi questions Ketki’s acceptance of the situation, while Aniruddh implores her to refrain from further accusations.
Arshi insists that the woman claiming to be Vihaan’s wife is not Avni and states that Jhanak never went to America. Mehek interjects, confused by Arshi’s claims, while Aniruddh asks if it’s necessary to bring this up now. Arshi believes Jhanak is deceiving everyone and should be exposed. Ketki feels lost, prompting Vihaan to promise to explain everything after Priyanshi’s wedding. He then reveals to Arshi that he married Jhanak after Avni died, shocking Ketki, who questions if Avni is truly dead. Mehek asks why Vihaan didn’t inform them of this sooner.
Vihaan explains that his family never accepted Avni, which is why he felt no need to share her death. He shares that he found and married Jhanak in India, who has been supportive of him and their son. Arshi criticizes Vihaan for marrying Jhanak without knowing her past, to which Vihaan asserts he doesn’t want to know more.
Aniruddh pleads for Arshi to remain silent until after Priyanshi’s marriage, which Vihaan echoes. Ketki states she will determine Jhanak’s fate after uncovering the truth. Jhanak declares her intention to leave the house after the wedding, but Aniruddh reminds her that as Vihaan’s wife, she cannot leave alone.
Later, Vihaan chastises Arshi for insulting Jhanak, and she retorts that Jhanak is not merely a woman but someone complex. Aniruddh tells Arshi he brought her there to show Jhanak has moved on, but Arshi insists that Jhanak harbors feelings for Aniruddh, not Vihaan.
**Precap:** Ketki accuses Jhanak of being responsible for Priyanshi’s disappearance. Jhanak asserts that Priyanshi is with Pulkit and will return soon.
