The episode begins with Vishaka expressing her concerns to Vikrant, stating that Dhairya is currently with Mannat to provide her with support during this difficult time. She warns Vikrant that if he were to visit Mannat, she might take advantage of the situation and place the blame on him for her troubles. Vikrant, clearly frustrated, questions Vishaka about who Dhairya is to take care of Mannat. He asserts that he is her husband, not Dhairya, and emphasizes the bond he shares with her.
Vishaka, undeterred, insists that Vikrant is delusional. She reminds him that he did not truly marry Mannat, as he has not completed the traditional pehra ceremony with her. In response, Vikrant firmly states that he did marry her and completed the pehra while witnessing the sacred fire. He reveals the truth about their union, asserting that it is his duty to support Mannat in her time of need. He declares that he will not back away from his responsibilities, and no one can stop him from being there for her.
Vishaka, taken aback by this revelation, admits that she was unaware of Vikrant’s marriage to Mannat. However, she insists that since Mannat is her daughter-in-law, she will accompany Vikrant to support her. After Vikrant leaves, Mallika is left in tears, feeling the weight of the situation. She turns to Aishwarya, lamenting that Vikrant’s departure is a direct result of Aishwarya’s actions. Mallika expresses her frustration, stating that she always believed Vikrant would never abandon Mannat in such a dire situation. While Mannat has managed to cope, they, as a family, have failed miserably in their support for her.
Meanwhile, Mannat is overwhelmed with grief, crying for her mother. Dhairya, trying to comfort her, informs Mannat that Vikrant has not yet arrived. Mannat expresses her deep connection to Vikrant, referring to him as Babaji’s Banda, but laments that she seems to mean nothing to him in return. At that moment, Gagan arrives and embraces Mannat, offering his condolences and support during this painful time.
As the tension builds, Vikrant urges the driver to speed up, expressing his eagerness to meet Mannat as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Vishaka, concerned about the impending meeting, urges Aishwarya to take immediate action to prevent Vikrant from seeing Mannat.
Later, Gagan gently encourages Mannat to complete the final rites for her mother. As she reflects on the cherished memories shared with her mom, the weight of her loss becomes even more apparent. Mannat steels herself to carry out the final rituals, honoring her mother’s memory.
In a poignant moment, Mannat confides in Shruthi, promising that she will take care of her baby just as Shruthi had raised her. She vows to be the best mother possible, sharing everything she learned from Shruthi with her child. Mannat expresses her deep love and gratitude, acknowledging that she would not be alive without her mother’s sacrifices. As she prepares to say her final goodbye, her heart aches with sorrow. Gagan steps in to console her, providing the support she desperately needs during this heartbreaking farewell.
In the precap, Vikrant finally opens up to Mannat, revealing his feelings and intentions. However, Dhairya intervenes, stopping Vishaka from approaching Mannat, adding another layer of tension to the unfolding drama.
