The episode kicks off with a humorous yet awkward moment as Prarthna’s dupatta gets tangled with Raunak’s shirt. After a quick untangling, Raunak departs, leaving behind a series of interactions that lead to more drama. Meanwhile, Smita is in the kitchen, preparing Raunak’s favorite dishes, showcasing her nurturing side.
As Raunak is welcomed home, Harsha and Tanuj eagerly ask about the gifts he supposedly brought back for them. Initially, Raunak teases them by claiming he didn’t bring anything, but he quickly admits he’s joking and says that he has indeed brought gifts for the entire household. The servant then arrives with Raunak’s luggage, building excitement in the atmosphere.
After a warm meal where Smita feeds Raunak, she asks Harsha to distribute the gifts. He obliges and hands them out to everyone present. Shubhi, not wanting to miss out, asks Raunak if he brought anything special for Smita. Raunak cheekily replies that her gifts are in another room, and Smita tells him to freshen up, which he agrees to do.
Later, Smita instructs the servant to call Kishan’s eldest daughter, indicating there are household tasks that need attention. The servant promptly leaves to fulfill the request.
Meanwhile, Seema and Prarthna are busy preparing food when the servant delivers a message from Smita, calling for Prarthna to come to the mansion. Prarthna complies but takes a moment to retrieve her dupatta first. Gayatri approaches her, questioning why she is overexerting herself and assuring her that she will get what is destined for her. Prarthna counters, expressing that she is actively shaping her own fate.
Before heading out, Kishan urges Seema to give Prarthna something to eat. However, Seema dismisses his concerns and tells Prarthna to stop pretending she was forced into her work, reaffirming that she is doing it willingly. Prarthna accepts this remark before taking her leave.
Meanwhile, Smita discusses with Devika her desire to keep Payal from meeting Raunak before the inauguration ceremony. She believes that an early introduction could lead to chaos and complications, so she instructs Devika to send Payal over after the event. Devika agrees to her plan.
As Payal arrives at Raunak’s house, she unexpectedly crosses paths with Prarthna, who quickly apologizes and steps away. Shubhi and Deepti join in the conversation, welcoming Payal and inquiring about her search for Smita.
In a turn of events, Prarthna enters Raunak’s room to gather some belongings. Mistaking her for a cousin, Raunak calls out for a towel. Prarthna hands it to him, but when she sees Raunak emerge from the washroom clad only in a towel, she feels a wave of shyness and hides behind the curtain.
Smita reappears, greeting Payal and encouraging her to visit Raunak’s room for a brief chat. Curious, Shubhi and Deepti question Smita’s motives for sending Payal to Raunak. Smita reveals her intentions of getting Payal and Raunak married, claiming it is a decision made for the best. Deepti considers this a wise choice if that’s what Smita has resolved.
As Payal steps into Raunak’s room, she stumbles, and Raunak instinctively catches her, leading to a moment charged with chemistry. Flustered, Payal starts flirting and explains that their mothers are friends and rivals, prompting the idea of an arranged marriage. Raunak, amused, plays along but finds a way to excuse Payal out of the room.
Just then, he notices someone hiding behind the curtain and pulls it aside, unveiling a surprising twist that leaves viewers eager for the next episode.
