The scene opens on what should be a joyous occasion: Prarthna, radiant in her bridal attire, sits in the mandap, surrounded by vibrant decorations and the loving gazes of family members. She is preparing to marry Bhavesh, the man she believes to be her destined partner. However, as the ceremonial music plays softly in the background, an inexplicable feeling of unease washes over her. There’s a stirring in her heart, a sense of familiarity that she can’t quite place. Could it be the presence of someone from her past? The thought flickers through her mind like a candle in the wind, and for a brief moment, she wonders if Raunak, her former love, might somehow be here. She quickly dismisses the notion, convincing herself that it’s impossible, yet her instincts refuse to settle, leaving her on edge.
Next to her, the groom—who is, unbeknownst to Prarthna, actually Raunak—sits anxiously, his demeanor betraying a mix of excitement and trepidation. As he fidgets with his phone, it suddenly begins to ring, a jarring sound that threatens to expose the truth behind the charade. Daksha, a well-meaning relative, casually picks up the device, assuming it’s a congratulatory call for the groom. However, the voice on the other end belongs to Harsh, who bluntly asks, “Where is Raunak?” The room falls silent. Daksha’s expression shifts from joyful anticipation to stunned confusion. Why would someone use Bhavesh’s phone to inquire about Raunak?
Prarthna, overhearing the name “Raunak,” freezes, her heart racing as doubt begins to creep in. Could her instincts have been right all along? The atmosphere grows tense as Harsh, realizing his slip-up, panics. He nervously tries to backtrack, dropping his phone in his haste, terrified of being implicated in the growing chaos that surrounds them.
Meanwhile, Payal, observing the strange turn of events, becomes suspicious. She decides to check Bhavesh’s missed calls, searching for answers to the mounting questions in her mind. In a separate part of the house, Bhavesh, who had been knocked unconscious and locked in a cupboard earlier by Raunak, begins to regain his senses. Memories of Raunak’s attack flood back, igniting a fierce determination within him. He starts plotting his escape, fueled by the urgency to stop the wedding from proceeding.
A chaotic chain of events unfolds. Mayank intercepts Payal’s inquiries, attempting to mislead her while simultaneously dealing with Bhavesh, who pretends to remain unconscious. In a sudden burst of strength, Bhavesh overpowers Mayank, tying him up before making a break for it. He races through the corridors, his heart pounding as he heads toward the mandap, determined to reveal the truth and reclaim his rightful place.
Back at the mandap, the tension mounts as Raunak’s true identity teeters on the edge of exposure. Payal, increasingly adamant, insists that the groom’s true face be revealed. Kinjal and others scramble to cover up the deception, but the family’s curiosity and suspicion grow insatiable. Under mounting pressure, Harsh, unable to contain the situation any longer, reveals Raunak’s face. Gasps of shock ripple through the crowd as they discover that Raunak is indeed the groom in Bhavesh’s place. The atmosphere is electric with disbelief and confusion.
As the wedding rituals continue, Raunak reflects on his connection with Prarthna, believing that their union is written in the stars. He feels a deep regret for not recognizing the significance of their bond sooner, but his thoughts are interrupted by the urgency of the moment. Just as the final rituals are about to commence, Bhavesh bursts into the mandap, desperation etched on his face. He shouts for Prarthna, trying to halt the proceedings and reveal the truth.
With Bhavesh en route and secrets unraveling rapidly, the episode builds toward a climactic finish. Smita, furious and demanding answers, interrogates Harsh and Kinjal about their roles in the deception. The tension in the air is palpable as family members turn on one another, seeking clarity amidst the chaos. Meanwhile, Raunak clings to hope, wishing that Prarthna will understand his actions once the truth comes to light.
The episode concludes on this note.
