The episode begins with a curious Piyu asking Chintu about Parshuram. Chintu confidently explains that he knows who Parshuram is, describing him as one of the avatars of Vishnu. Intrigued, Piyu decides to call Shalini for more insights, but she quickly realizes that Shalini’s phone is switched off, leaving her feeling a bit anxious. Just then, Shivprasad walks in, and Piyu shares her fears about Shalini’s absence. Shivprasad reassures her, explaining that he has been busy with work, but he too is concerned about Shalini, especially since her phone is off.
In an effort to lighten the mood, Piyu asks Shivprasad to buy them some paani poori, a popular street food snack. Later, Shivprasad returns home with his children, only to find the front door ajar. The children, filled with hope, assume that their mother has returned. However, Shivprasad gently reminds them that their mother is not home yet. As he steps inside, he notices that vegetables have been chopped, raising his worries further.
Piyu points out that their mother must have left something cooking on the stove, which deepens Shivprasad’s concern for Shalini. He instructs the children to stand back as he quickly moves to turn off the stove, clearly anxious about what might have happened. Piyu, still filled with questions, seeks answers from her father. Shivprasad acknowledges that Piyu has been asking many questions lately and redirects the conversation to her English teacher, wondering why she hasn’t learned more from her. He mentions that he enrolled her in an English medium school, but she still struggles with Marathi.
Just then, Shalini emerges from the bathroom, freshly bathed. Shivprasad immediately questions her about her whereabouts, to which Shalini replies that she simply forgot to turn off the stove. She assures him that she will clean up the mess and handle everything. Shivprasad, however, is still concerned and presses her about where she has been. Shalini insists that she hasn’t gone anywhere, explaining that she felt uncomfortable and decided to take a bath to feel better.
Noticing a bruise on her arm, Shivprasad asks how she got hurt. Shalini brushes it off, claiming it’s just a minor bruise and nothing to worry about. Despite her reassurances, Shivprasad senses that something is amiss and suspects that she is hiding something from him. Shalini then asks Chintu to inform the owner to turn on the water motor, as the water tank is empty.
In a heartfelt moment, Shivprasad expresses his love for his simple family, declaring that they are his entire world and that he will protect them at all costs. He presses Shalini again, questioning if she is keeping anything from him. Shalini, feeling defensive, voices her frustrations about managing all the household chores alone. She reminds him that she came from a wealthy background, leaving everything behind to be with him, and questions how he could suspect her of anything wrong. Shivprasad admits his fault and reiterates his love for her, trying to mend the rift that has formed between them.
As they continue their conversation, Shalini mentions that she doesn’t know where her phone is. Just then, her phone rings, and Shivprasad answers it, only to find that it’s a telemarketer trying to sell a loan or credit card. He disconnects the call, but then receives another call from an unknown number warning him to stay away from a particular case. Piyu, overhearing this, informs Shivprasad about the call, and he deduces that it must be Bappar’s team threatening him.
Later, Shivprasad and Balram sit down to discuss Bappar and the recent troubles surrounding him. Balram reveals that someone attacked him, and he had to chase after the goon to escape. During their conversation, Balram mentions that Balraj had a phone that he used to contact Bappar, which raises alarms for Shivprasad.
**Precap:** Shivprasad begins tracking Balraj’s phone, leading him to discover that Bappar is hiding out at his in-laws’ house, setting the stage for a potential confrontation.
