The episode begins with Sarada expressing her frustration to Bebe about her inability to contact Preet. Concerned for her daughter, she mentions that she will reach out to Gurlin or Harjot to gather more information. As she walks away, she unexpectedly collides with Neeti, who is quick to scold her. Sarada, taken aback by Neeti’s attitude, questions why she is making such a fuss when she wasn’t hurt in the first place. Neeti, filled with pride due to Aaditya’s engagement being fixed with her daughter Nisha, responds with an air of superiority. Sarada, however, is unfazed and retorts that there is no need for Neeti to brag about the engagement. Instead, she feels a sense of relief that Preet has escaped from the clutches of the Kashyap family, whom she believes do not deserve her daughter. Sarada’s disdain for their pretentiousness and their tendency to look down on those less fortunate is palpable.
Meanwhile, Nisha finds Gaurav wearing a sehara, the traditional wedding veil, and is confused by his appearance. Unaware that Gaurav is impersonating Aaditya, she expresses her discomfort and asks him to remove it. Gurleen, trying to ease the situation, explains that the priest has instructed Gaurav to wear the sehara for a few minutes as part of the ceremony. Nisha, still skeptical, presses Gaurav to write down his feelings instead, handing him a note and a pen. She curiously asks if he genuinely wants to engage with her, probing deeper into his intentions.
Nisha’s questions grow more pointed as she wonders if someone is forcing him to marry her, especially since he had disappeared just moments ago without a word. Gaurav, sensing the pressure, lies and tells her that he loves her deeply, which brings a smile to Nisha’s face. She appears to be convinced by his words, blissfully unaware of the deception unfolding around her.
Meanwhile, Harjot seeks out Aaditya, concerned about Preet’s well-being. She asks him if everything is alright, and Aaditya reveals that Preet is hiding out in a hut, sharing the location with her. He urges Harjot to return to the venue as soon as possible, expressing his worry that Gaurav is in a difficult situation and can’t manage it any longer. He reassures her that he will return once everything is sorted out.
As the tension mounts, Neeti takes the opportunity to provoke Sushama against Sarada, claiming that Sarada looks down on their family. Sushama, feeling defensive, admits that they made a mistake by choosing Preet for Aaditya, which prompts Sarada to deliver a sharp retort, standing her ground against their insinuations.
In a separate scene, Harjot finds Preet and immediately inquires about her well-being, clearly worried about her state. Preet explains that they were followed by goons, causing them to jump into a river to escape, which left her drenched and necessitated a change of clothes. Harjot, relieved but also concerned, questions whether Preet asked Aaditya for help, emphasizing her trust in him above anyone else.
Just then, Aaditya calls Harjot, asking her to put Preet on the line. He expresses how much he misses her and inquires about her feelings, wanting her to share her emotions with him. Preet, feeling a mix of emotions, mentions that Harjot is present, prompting Aaditya to tease her about not being open about her feelings in front of her friend. He jokingly suggests that Harjot might discover their feelings for each other before they do. After a light-hearted exchange, Preet disconnects the call, leaving Harjot curious about what transpired between them. Harjot directly asks Preet if there is something going on between her and Aaditya, pressing her to reveal if he has proposed.
Meanwhile, Sushama confronts Gaurav, questioning his whereabouts and expressing concern that they have been searching for him. The priest arrives, and Sushama insists that they cannot start the engagement ceremony until her daughter-in-law arrives. Neeti, distracted, notices multiple missed calls from Gurinder and wonders what could have happened.
In a moment of tension, Simran asks the priest why he instructed Gaurav to wear the sehara, but Gaurav refuses to comply. In a shocking turn of events, Neeti decides to remove the sehara from Gaurav’s head, only to be stunned to discover that he is not Aaditya but Gaurav impersonating him. The revelation sends shockwaves through the room, leaving everyone in disbelief as the episode comes to an end.
