The episode begins with Smita asking Sneha if she has inquired about the cake. Sneha, feeling neglected, argues with Smita, pointing out that Smita shows more affection for Rohan than for her. Smita reminds her that it’s Rohan’s birthday and notes that Sneha is present while Ronak is in London. She expresses her desire to do everything if Ronak were here before walking away.
Kishan talks to Seema, expressing regret for scolding Prarthna harshly. He suggests that Seema’s reprimand was unfair because Prarthna isn’t her daughter. Seema insists that it has nothing to do with that, but Kishan continues to comment on the matter.
Later, Seema approaches Gayatri, asking if she scolded her too severely. Gayatri reassures her, saying that Prarthna has already explained herself and promised not to repeat her mistakes.
The driver arrives and informs Kishan that Madam has called for him. Prarthna also leaves with the driver to visit Baa.
Smita asks Kishan to ensure the Pooja goes smoothly today as she hopes their business will thrive, particularly since they performed Maunvrath. Smita clarifies that the fast was not just about the new shop’s opening but also a celebration of Ronak’s birthday, as she loves her son deeply. Kishan acknowledges how lucky Ronak is to have such a caring mother.
Meanwhile, Baa shows Prarthna a letter she wrote for Ronak, encouraging her to read it. They later check for any correspondence from Ronak, but Baa is disappointed to find none, believing it will arrive soon.
During the Pooja, Smita manages the guests with little regard for Baa, inviting Shah’s family and seating them prominently, while Baa sits at the back. Tevan notices Baa in the last row and questions why she isn’t closer to the front. Smita then brings Baa to a better seat near the stage.

Prarthna notices Baa struggling to see the deity and brings a chair to place in front of Lord Krishna, helping her sit comfortably. Smita confronts Prarthna about this, but when Prarthna explains Baa’s difficulty, Smita grudgingly agrees that it was a thoughtful gesture.
Later, Smita announces that it’s time to cut Ronak’s birthday cake. Hearing this, Baa feels a pang of disappointment, realizing that no one remembers her birthday.
Just then, Ronak returns home, surprising his family. He greets each member and reminds everyone that today is also Baa’s birthday. The family members are quick to apologize to Baa for forgetting. Ronak brings out a cake for Baa, and they cut it together, feeding pieces to everyone present before leaving the room.
As Prarthna picks up a knife that has fallen to the floor, Ronak returns to the cake table, causing her dupatta to drift over him. Their eyes meet, creating a moment of unexpected connection.
The episode concludes on this poignant note.
