The episode begins with Mannat joyfully dancing with Shruti, but she suddenly feels dizzy. She asks Shruti if she has forgiven her for her past mistakes, to which Shruti nods in agreement. Mannat hugs her in happiness just as Mallika arrives. Mannat enthusiastically welcomes her and introduces her to Shruti, who disapproves of Mallika’s rich demeanor and attitude.
Mallika begins taking photos of Mannat’s house, which further irritates Shruti. In an attempt to lighten the mood, Mannat offers Shruti water in a glass, but Shruti glares at her. Mallika starts praising Mannat’s house and discusses Aishwarya’s character with them, revealing that she has arranged a meeting for Mannat with Aishwarya. She notes how difficult it is to secure such a meeting without an appointment, but Aishwarya has agreed to see Mannat because of Mallika’s influence.
As Mallika talks about her affluent mother, Shruti’s jealousy surfaces, and she glares at Mannat. Mannat tries to change the subject, but her efforts are fruitless. Mallika informs Shruti that her mom dislikes poor people and has bought expensive designer clothes for Mannat to wear during her meeting.
Mallika instructs the driver to place the heavy dress nearby, saying that if Mannat wears it, her mother won’t reject her. Mannat insists that she has enough talent to impress Aishwarya without needing to rely on a fancy dress. However, Mallika counters that her mother prioritizes appearances and wealth over talent and believes Mannat could win her over with the right look.
Shruti, feeling frustrated, urges the driver to take away the clothes and demands that Mallika leave their home. Mannat tries to mediate, but Mallika continues to push her views about Aishwarya’s expectations, making Shruti lose her temper. Meanwhile, Vikrant arrives at his hotel and admires the interior, expressing to his assistant how much he loves India and feels destined to be there. He learns that he has been invited to Mallika’s party.
Mallika informs Shruti that she has organized a birthday party for Mannat, insisting that Mannat must attend. Shruti firmly states that she won’t allow her to go, putting Mannat in a difficult position. Mallika continues to pressure Mannat to wear the expensive dress, reiterating that her mother detests poor people. She emphasizes that, while she knows Mannat as a friend, her background could be a disqualifier in the eyes of her mother.
In a fit of anger, Shruti lashes out at Mallika, who looks taken aback. In a moment of slip, Mallika mistakenly mentions Sonia’s name, further triggering Shruti. Mannat then pulls Mallika aside, attempting to reason with her by asking her not to take her mother’s harsh words to heart. She pleads for Mallika to attend the party, assuring her that she is a good person.
Elsewhere, Vikrant’s mother calls him, insisting he attend Mallika’s party. He reluctantly agrees for her sake. Later, Mannat convinces her own mother to let her attend the party, which she excitedly arrives at, admiring the decorations made in her honor. However, Vikrant discovers that Mallika organized the party at his hotel, infuriating him as he resolves to confront her.
