The episode begins with a tense confrontation as Parashar informs Sethji that Hemu has attempted to misbehave with Nutan. Just then, Nutan arrives on the scene, and Parashar, visibly agitated, tells Hemu that he needs to learn to be a decent human being before pursuing a political career. He expresses his determination not to let Hemu get away with his actions. Nutan intervenes, urging Parashar to drop his weapon. Hemu, not backing down, asserts that he also has a weapon, escalating the tension between the two men.
As Parashar moves to attack Hemu, Nutan steps in to stop him, emphasizing that this is her battle to fight. Kanak, observing the situation, questions Nutan’s ability to protect herself. Nutan responds firmly, stating that she did not ask for Parashar’s help; however, she appreciates that he intervened when he saw the threat she faced. She confronts Hemu, offering him a chance to leave peacefully if he apologizes for his behavior. Hemu stubbornly refuses, prompting Sethji to insist that he should apologize.
Nutan stands her ground, declaring that even Sethji cannot save Hemu if he doesn’t apologize. She picks up her slippers, threatening to beat Hemu if he continues to misbehave. Faced with her resolve, Hemu reluctantly apologizes, and Nutan warns him not to disrespect any girl again. With that, Hemu leaves, his ego bruised but unharmed.
In a parallel storyline, Aniruddh has a serious conversation with Arshi. He explains that he has distanced himself from her due to her behavior, declaring that their relationship is over and nothing can change that. Arshi, visibly upset, asks if he wants her to divorce him and leave their home. She insists that she cannot do that. Aniruddh, firm in his decision, tells her not to play the victim card and reveals that he has received a partnership offer at his company, which he intends to focus on. He adds that while they can share the same space, she should not expect anything more from him. Arshi promises to respect his wishes and not intrude on his space unless he invites her.
The next day, Lalon is worried about Apu, who has not yet woken up. He checks on her and realizes her body is cold, prompting him to call for help. As others gather around, Lalon expresses his concern, and Kajol checks Apu’s pulse, noting it is weak. She instructs Lalon to call an ambulance immediately. Lalon contacts Aniruddh, urgently informing him of the situation. A short while later, Aniruddh arrives, and Kajol insists that they must take Apu to the hospital. Lalon and Aniruddh carefully carry Apu away as Anuradha watches, tears streaming down her face.
**Five Years Later**
The scene shifts to a transformed village, where Nutan is overseeing the work of the village women. Kanka comments that Nutan is ruling like a queen, to which Nutan proudly responds that she has brought many changes to the village. The village ladies agree, and Nutan encourages them to remain united and not to deceive each other out of greed. Kanka, however, expresses concern that Nutan is making her own rules and that they owe their survival to Sethji. Nutan retorts that their hard work, not Sethji, has kept them alive, asserting that they must not relinquish their rights.
As the conversation continues, the village ladies remark that Nutan has become a politician. Veer adds that their progress is thanks to Nutan’s efforts. Kanka then inquires about Moon’s whereabouts, to which Nutan speculates that she might be with Parashar. Kanka points out that Nutan seems unsure of her daughter’s location, but Nutan confidently states that everyone knows Moon accompanies Parashar every morning.
Rani questions Nutan about why she doesn’t live with Parashar, prompting Nutan to suggest that Rani should ask Parashar directly. Kanka accuses Nutan of meeting Parashar secretly and questions why she cooks for him if they don’t live together. Nutan explains that she cooks for both Parashar and Bua, and Bua expresses her gratitude for Nutan’s kindness, noting that her husband is no longer around. Nutan reassures Bua that it is her responsibility to care for her.
Veer teasingly remarks that Kanka doesn’t know how to cook, and Lakshmi agrees, leading to Kanka scolding them for their playful banter. Bua suggests they celebrate by dancing, and the village ladies encourage Nutan to join in. With some coaxing, Nutan finally gives in and dances, bringing joy to the gathering.
Just then, Parashar arrives with Moon in tow. Nutan questions Moon about where she went that morning, and Moon happily reveals that Parashar brought her chocolate. Kanka seizes the moment to suggest that Moon should call Parashar “father,” criticizing Nutan for not teaching her daughter this. Parashar, sensing the tension, reminds everyone that city people could arrive at any moment, and they must not let them succeed.
Nutan counters that the arrival of city people could mean new opportunities, such as factories or businesses that would provide work for the villagers. Parashar, however, warns her that such developments could destroy their land and insists that men should handle these matters, dismissing Nutan’s perspective.
**Precap:** In a surprising twist, Parashar meets Aniruddh in the village, setting the stage for potential conflicts and revelations in the episodes to come.
