Bua Maa and Tanya arrive at Seema’s location, their expressions reflecting a palpable tension as they meet her. The atmosphere is charged with unspoken animosity, revealing that their relationship has soured significantly. Seema attempts to initiate a cordial exchange by inquiring about Bua Maa’s well-being, but Bua Maa’s response is curt and dismissive. She asserts that the familial ties that once connected them have been severed, especially after Prarthna’s divorce from Shivansh. With a tone laced with disdain, Bua Maa expresses her belief that Prarthna was never worthy of Shivansh, further insulting her character. She recounts how Prarthna had attempted to charm Shivansh and envisioned herself as the mistress of the Randhawa household, only to have her aspirations dashed.
In response to Bua Maa’s harsh words, Seema challenges her, questioning the integrity of someone who equates wealth with worthiness. She reminds Bua Maa that, despite the divorce, they are still relatives and that she should extend basic respect to her guests. This remark ignites Bua Maa’s anger, leading to a heated exchange between the two women. Seema stands firm, declaring her role as Prarthna’s mother and vowing to advocate for her daughter’s rights. Bua Maa, unfazed, retorts that the divorce has already been finalized and questions Seema’s grasp on reality.
Seema, undeterred, confronts Bua Maa about the legalities surrounding the divorce, asserting that the court proceedings are incomplete and lecturing her on the laws governing such matters. Bua Maa counters with insults, belittling Seema’s status and dismissing her arguments. Seema insists that Prarthna does not wish to divorce Shivansh, but Bua Maa remains resolute, claiming that Prarthna will ultimately choose to end the marriage to protect Shivansh from potential harm.
The conversation takes a more serious turn as Seema presses Bua Maa about Sonalika, hinting at deeper issues within the family dynamics. Bua Maa reiterates that Prarthna left the house willingly and that she had no choice but to expel her. Seema, however, counters this by stating that she has brought Prarthna with her and is determined to secure her daughter’s rights. At this moment, Prarthna enters the scene alongside Gayatri, and Bua Maa immediately questions her presence, scolding her for returning when she supposedly has no claim to the Randhawa household.
Seema interjects, asserting that Prarthna will never willingly divorce Shivansh. In a surprising twist, she commands Prarthna to stand her ground and refuse to sign the divorce papers, shocking Bua Maa further by demanding alimony for her daughter. Bua Maa erupts in laughter, mocking their apparent greed and questioning their true intentions. Despite the ridicule, Seema remains steadfast in her defense of Prarthna, insisting that her daughter deserves better.
Bua Maa then turns her taunts towards Seema, questioning her legitimacy as Prarthna’s mother. Seema responds passionately, declaring herself to be Prarthna’s protector, akin to Yashoda, and vowing to prevent her daughter’s life from being ruined. Bua Maa, however, warns that Prarthna’s presence poses a threat to Shivansh’s safety. Seema, taken aback, refutes this claim, asserting that Shivansh’s betrayal and his marriage to Prarthna were driven by revenge against Smita, thus placing the blame squarely on him.
As tensions rise, Seema declares her intention to take drastic action, threatening to expose the Randhawa family and pursue legal charges for fraud. Bua Maa, unflinching, challenges Seema to reveal the monetary demands they might have for dissolving the marriage. Seema, resolute in her stance, urges Bua Maa to engage directly with her rather than pressuring Prarthna, emphasizing that her daughter should not bear the weight of these negotiations.
The confrontation escalates as Seema and Gayatri threaten to file charges of domestic violence and mental torture against the Randhawa family, while Prarthna remains silent, caught in the turmoil. Bua Maa, standing her ground, asserts that she is not intimidated by their threats. Seema continues to blame Bua Maa for the potential ruin of Prarthna’s life due to the divorce, prompting Bua Maa to demand an end to the theatrics. She acknowledges Prarthna’s desire for alimony, seeking to understand the financial compensation they expect. The air is thick with tension as both sides prepare for a battle of wills, each determined to protect their interests and assert their rights.
