Mannat, having recently undergone surgery, mentions that she needs some rest and suggests to Aishwarya that she should move into Mallika’s vacated room.

Meanwhile, Gagan speaks to Roni, reminding him that they have legal papers to consider.

Later, Shalini praises Mannat for successfully completing her mission, which brings Mannat to tears. Overwhelmed with emotion, she hugs her mother tightly, expressing her sorrow over being misunderstood by everyone. She confesses that she never intended to become ruthless like Aishwarya; instead, she feels that her circumstances have forced her into this role. Shruthi supports her, insisting that Mannat is not greedy like Aishwarya but rather selfless. Mannat reflects on the sacrifices she has made, revealing that Aishwarya’s actions have led her to become cunning. Shruthi reminds Mannat that Aishwarya is driven by greed, while Mannat’s motives have always been to protect her family. However, Mannat acknowledges that she can no longer run away from Aishwarya and must confront her directly to safeguard herself. In a moment of vulnerability, she collapses in front of Vikrant, who now harbors resentment towards her.
As tensions rise, Vikrant and Puneet confront Aishwarya about how she managed to transfer the shares to Mannat without their knowledge. Puneet expresses his frustration, stating that Aishwarya made this significant decision unilaterally. In response, Aishwarya creates a scene, claiming that Mannat has betrayed her by forging her signature on the transfer documents. Vikrant struggles to believe her story and demands to see copies of the bills related to the transaction. Aishwarya feigns ignorance, insisting that she had no idea Mannat would take such actions. Gagan, observing the situation, suspects that Aishwarya is attempting to frame Mannat for her own benefit.
Aishwarya then pretends to apologize to Mallika for her supposed betrayal, acting as though she is filled with guilt. Shruthi turns to Mannat, asserting that Aishwarya may have given birth to her, but it is Shruthi who truly embodies the role of a mother. She encourages Mannat to rise above Aishwarya’s manipulations and not to accept defeat. Shruthi expresses pride in Mannat for instilling fear in Aishwarya for the first time, emphasizing that they must confront Aishwarya together. Mannat agrees, stating that they need to outsmart Aishwarya and figure out how she arranged the legal papers. She reveals that Gagan was the one who prepared them.
The tension escalates as a lawyer examines the legal documents and confirms their authenticity, noting that Aishwarya indeed signed them. Mallika, taken aback, questions Aishwarya about her decision to sign the papers. Kiran, unable to contain her anger, accuses Aishwarya of deceit and vents her frustrations. Meanwhile, Mannat is resolute in her determination to ruin Mallika’s life as payback for the injustices she has faced. Vikrant expresses his confusion over the entire situation, while Puneet declares that he cannot work under Mannat’s leadership. Gagan recalls how Mannat instructed him to prepare the legal documents, adding to the complexity of the situation.
As the drama unfolds, Aishwarya attempts to turn the family members against Mannat, painting her as a greedy individual who seeks to oust Aishwarya from the household. Mallika, trying to deflect blame, claims responsibility for the situation, stating that she called the police. Vikrant is displeased with her actions and tries to reason with her, but Neetu intervenes, insisting that Mannat should not be allowed to stay in the house. The police arrive to investigate the matter, and as they inquire about the situation, Mannat steps forward to clarify that Aishwarya willingly transferred the shares to her. She asserts that she did not steal anything and that the shares are rightfully hers.
Vikrant, feeling disappointed and betrayed, demands an explanation from Mannat. In a bold move, Mannat threatens Aishwarya, vowing to expose her true intentions. She reveals that Aishwarya paid money to leave her love, indicating that Aishwarya’s motivations were not purely maternal. Mannat points out that Aishwarya knew Vikrant would not marry Mallika, which is why she transferred the shares. Vikrant’s disappointment deepens as he processes Mannat’s revelations. In a moment of confrontation, Mannat lies to him, claiming that money is all that matters to her, and she expresses her hurt over how his family treated her based on her background. Vikrant, unable to accept her words, raises his voice, telling her that she is not his employee and should not speak to him in that manner.
