The episode begins with Sowmya excitedly revealing to Ishana that she is getting married to Kapil, presenting a dupatta that she suggests may be used for the engagement. Ishana’s friends, overhearing this news, mock her by suggesting that she will now have two mothers, to which Ishana responds by asking them to stop. Despite her discomfort, her friends eventually leave, leaving Ishana alone with her thoughts.
Sowmya then expresses her surprise at Ishana’s apparent ignorance regarding Mangal’s marriage plans. She makes a comment about Mangal getting married at her age, which adds to the tension in the room. Shortly after, Mangal returns home and immediately senses that something is wrong with Ishana. Concerned, she questions Ishana about her distress and turns to Sowmya for an explanation. Sowmya claims that Ishana is upset because of her, prompting Mangal to seek clarity from Ishana herself. Ishana reveals the dupatta, indicating that it symbolizes the source of her turmoil.
As the situation unfolds, Ishana expresses her shock and disappointment about Mangal’s impending marriage to Kapil. Mangal, feeling guilty, admits that she had intended to share this news with Ishana sooner but failed to do so. Ishana questions Mangal about her decision to marry Kapil at this stage in her life. At that moment, Mangal receives a phone call from Shanti, which she inadvertently answers. Mangal informs Ishana that she feels compelled to go through with the marriage, further intensifying Ishana’s feelings of betrayal. Ishana reminds Mangal of her history of being forced into situations, including her previous separation from them for six months. She shares her embarrassment over the mockery from her friends, who teased her about having two fathers due to Mangal’s marriage.
Akshat enters the scene, inquiring about Mangal’s marriage to Kapil. He expresses his support for Kapil, whom he considers a good friend, and hugs Mangal, unaware of the complex emotions swirling around them. Ishana, feeling marginalized, points out that Akshat is just a child and cannot comprehend the depth of her embarrassment. As she leaves the room, Shanti, who has been listening on the phone, overhears the conversation.
Adit intervenes as Mangal attempts to follow Ishana, urging her to recognize the impact her marriage decision is having on her children, particularly Ishana. He points out that while Akshat may be naive, Ishana is not someone who can be easily deceived. Adit presses Mangal about why she felt the need to inform Ishana about her marriage. Mangal insists that she did not disclose this information to Ishana. Adit, skeptical, questions how Ishana learned about the wedding. He notices the engagement items and confronts Mangal about their presence, demanding to know why Pratima brought them to their home. Kusum clarifies that it was Pratima who arranged for the items, which leads Adit to accuse Mangal of being showy with her engagement preparations. Mangal defends herself, reminding Adit that he had previously denied her the opportunity to discuss matters with the children. She expresses her frustration at his lack of support and questions why he is blaming her for the situation. Adit counters by asking why she is rushing into marriage with Kapil. Mangal, feeling cornered, asserts that he has no right to judge her decisions, emphasizing that she is marrying Kapil after her divorce, unlike Adit, who married Sowmya while still married to her. This confrontation leaves Mangal feeling hurt, and she walks away.
Meanwhile, at Kapil’s office, staff members celebrate the upcoming wedding, with one colleague playfully feeding Adit a sweet. Adit reacts angrily, disrupting the festive atmosphere. Kapil arrives and inquires about the commotion, learning that his team is celebrating his engagement to Mangal. He invites everyone to his wedding, encouraging them to add their names to the guest list. In a moment of frustration, Adit crosses his name off the list and leaves.
Mangal, noticing Kusum avoiding her, decides to approach Kapil for a conversation. At the same time, Lipika arrives at Adit’s house to collect the shagun but finds the place in disarray, prompting her to wonder what has transpired.
When Mangal reaches the engagement venue, she is intercepted by Shanti, who questions her intentions. Mangal insists that she needs to speak with Kapil. Shanti, aware of Mangal’s concerns, reminds her that her children are not happy with the marriage. Mangal argues that the children will understand in due time, but Shanti counters with her own perspective. As the tension escalates, Shanti reminds Mangal of the promise she made to her, and in a moment of distress, Mangal loses consciousness.
The episode concludes on this dramatic note, leaving viewers anxious to see how Mangal will navigate her complex family dynamics and the implications of her impending marriage.
