Mayank confides in Raunak that he loves Prarthana. In response, Raunak brings up Bhavesh, reminding Mayank that although Bhavesh once promised to change, he doubts he ever will. He asks Mayank to keep a close watch on him. Mayank reassures Raunak, saying he has already spoken to an investigator and is determined to monitor Bhavesh closely. He firmly states that he won’t let Bhavesh marry Prarthana. Raunak agrees, sharing his thoughts on the situation before walking away.
Elsewhere, Prarthana gazes at the sindhur in her hairline, recalling the words of the Ladoo Sadhu. Bhavesh arrives, flirts with her, and notices the sindhur. He offers to wipe it away and admits he was furious when Raunak got close to her. He then declares that tonight, she will be his, and they grow intimate. Meanwhile, Smita instructs the decorators to speed up the preparations. Ketki reminds her about a ritual she wanted to perform with Raunak. Smita confirms it’s the Punjabi Gharoli ritual and explains it to everyone.
Later, Baa asks Smita to send Payal to her room so she can give her a gift. Smita agrees. When Payal arrives, Baa gifts her an ancestral necklace. Payal spots another necklace and, upon learning it’s for Prarthana, becomes upset. Fueled by jealousy, she decides to sabotage the moment. She throws colorful stones from a flower pot onto the floor, causing Baa to slip and sprain her ankle. The family rushes Baa to her room.
Gayatri approaches Prarthana and begs her not to marry Bhavesh, insisting he’s not the right man. Prarthana refuses to listen, standing by the marriage arranged by their parents. Gayatri leaves, disheartened. Baa reassures Smita and others that she’s fine and asks Raunak to apply balm to her injury. She tells Raunak she was on her way to give a gift to Prarthana and asks him to call her over discreetly.
Raunak agrees and contacts Prarthana, who promises to come quietly. As Prarthana prepares to meet Baa, Harsh teases Raunak about her visit. Payal overhears their conversation and is visibly upset. She vows to stop Prarthana from entering Raunak’s life. At the same time, Payal receives a message from Rocky apologizing and requesting to meet. He warns that if she doesn’t come, he’ll show up himself. Payal grows anxious, fearing he might come to the house.
The episode ends.
