The episode opens with Eshwar firmly telling Kailash and Chandrika that he will not disclose the identity of the bride to them. In a hushed tone, he mentions UV, suggesting that his cousins might cancel the wedding if they discover the truth. Meanwhile, UV instructs his cousins to keep a close watch on Kailash, hoping to glean any clues about the bride’s identity.
As the scene shifts, Ambika enters with snacks for Kailash and Chandrika. However, Chandrika seizes the moment to taunt Ambika for allegedly lacking respect for her elders. In response, Ambika humbly takes their blessings but later confides in Rukmini about the hurtful remarks from Chandrika. Rukmini advises her to endure the situation for the next few days. Just then, the youngest son of the Jindal family arrives from abroad with his wife, bringing a mix of excitement and tension to the household. Chandrika, unable to resist, questions Charu about her lack of children, which causes Charu and her husband to feel upset and saddened by the insensitive remark. In contrast, Rukmini interacts warmly with her son and Charu, trying to diffuse the tension.
At Katha’s house, the atmosphere is heavy as Vandana comforts Mohan, assuring him that Katha will lead a happy life after her marriage. She urges him not to feel guilty about the situation. However, Mohan is reminded of Katha’s sacrifices for him and resolves to reveal the identity of Katha’s groom, no matter the cost. He also offers an apology to God for the turmoil. Naina, witnessing this exchange, feels a wave of sadness wash over her.
Returning to the Jindal household, Shlok meets with UV and his cousins. In a teasing manner, Shlok jabs at UV about his impending marriage. This light-hearted banter quickly turns serious as UV expresses his frustration to Shlok regarding Eshwar’s unilateral decision. Shlok points out that UV truly wishes to marry someone chosen by his mother. Ambika, observing their interaction, grows increasingly upset, suspecting that Shlok is forming a close bond with UV for ulterior motives, specifically to gain access to the family’s properties. Vinith, overhearing Ambika’s comments, becomes angry and defends Shlok, warning Ambika against making baseless accusations.
Chandrika continues her critical streak by disparaging the clothing choices of both Pari and Ash. Offended by her remarks, Pari and Ash confront Rukmini about Chandrika’s behavior. Rukmini advises them to tolerate the situation for just a few more days before she leaves the room. Feeling frustrated, Pari later complains to Shikha about Chandrika’s constant criticisms, but Shikha cautions her against reacting impulsively.
In the kitchen, Charu suggests preparing a meal for everyone and insists that UV and his cousins join the family for dinner. However, UV declines her invitation, prompting Charu to question his decision. Ambika interjects, explaining to Charu that she is unaware of the ongoing family dynamics due to her time spent abroad. Before the conversation can escalate, Shikha steps in and takes Charu away.
In a surprising turn, Shlok reveals to UV that he is on Eshwar’s side, shocking UV. An argument ensues, but Shlok stands firm, stating that he will fulfill the responsibilities assigned to him by Eshwar before leaving the room. Frustrated, UV instructs his cousins to take action and uncover the bride’s identity, and they decide to gather information from Nathu Lal.
Meanwhile, Naina approaches her father, asking him to reveal the identity of her groom. Mohan reassures her that Eshwar has no intention of harming Katha and encourages her to trust him. After he leaves, Katha arrives and feels a sense of sadness upon seeing her uncle’s distress.
Back at Eshwar’s place, anxiety mounts as he worries that UV and his cousins might discover the bride’s identity. To divert their attention, he calls Nathu Lal, speaking loudly about revealing the bride’s identity and instructing him to come to his room. This prompts UV’s cousins to decide to investigate the matter further. Meanwhile, Katha shares her aspirations with Naina, expressing her desire to study hard and become a botanist. Later, Katha takes to her diary, pouring out her emotions regarding her upcoming marriage.
