The episode begins with a tense confrontation between Vikrant and Nisha. Vikrant, determined to assert his dominance, attempts to coax Nisha into submission, but she fiercely pushes him away. Frustrated, Vikrant expresses that he has tried to be gentle with her, but her stubbornness is making things difficult. He insists that he needs to finish what he started during their last encounter. Nisha, unwilling to back down, tries to attack him, but Vikrant skillfully defends himself, showcasing his physical prowess.
Meanwhile, Aditya, who is nearby, hears the commotion and becomes concerned. The atmosphere is thick with tension, hinting at the unresolved issues between Vikrant and Nisha. Later, the scene shifts to Preet, who is anxiously waiting to meet Sushama. A staff member informs her that Sushama is currently occupied with interviews in preparation for an upcoming award ceremony, leaving Preet disappointed. She had specifically called Sushama to meet in person, but the staff advises her to wait until the function concludes.
As Preet waits, Harjot approaches her with curiosity, questioning the nature of her relationship with Aditya. He notes that they appear to be a couple whenever they are close to one another. Preet, however, quickly dismisses the notion of marrying Aditya, stating firmly that he is not suitable for her. She expresses her concerns about his attitude and lack of respect, making it clear that she has no intention of pursuing a relationship with him.
In another part of the house, Sarada informs Bebe that Sushama wants to meet Preet. She believes that if this alliance is fixed, it would secure Preet’s future, and she is confident that Sushama will appreciate her. Bebe agrees, affirming that Preet is a good person and will be liked by everyone. However, Preet confides in Harjot about her frustrations with Aditya, describing him as arrogant and disrespectful. Harjot, noticing the chemistry between Preet and Aditya, calls Sarada to express his concern that Preet is disappointed in Aditya despite their playful interactions.
Meanwhile, Neeti is engaged in a conversation with Malhotra, where she reveals that her staff has been offering money to everyone for votes. She provocatively asks him to name his price, suggesting that they both share a love for money. She boldly offers him up to 50 lakhs, indicating her willingness to play dirty to secure a win. Just as the tension builds, the staff announces that it is time to reveal the award winner. Neeti takes the stage, welcoming the nominees, while Parineet steps outside to take a call from the doctor, leaving the audience unaware of the unfolding drama.
On stage, Sushama receives praise from the anchor for building a successful business empire on her own. Neeti, however, feels a sense of dread, believing that the accolades are directed at her due to Sanju’s vegetative state, which weighs heavily on her conscience.
Back at the event, Aditya senses something amiss and asks Gaurav to check the CCTV footage, feeling a need to ensure the safety of his guests. His instincts prove correct when he notices a goon attempting to attack Nisha. As chaos erupts, Preet sees Aditya fighting off the assailant, but her dupatta gets caught in the door, momentarily hindering her. Aditya bravely confronts the goon, asserting that he will not tolerate anyone disrespecting a woman or playing with her dignity.
The situation escalates when the goon pulls out a knife, intending to stab Aditya. In a moment of bravery, Preet intervenes, using a plate to block the knife and pushing the goon away. Both Aditya and Nisha are taken aback by her courageous act. However, the goon retaliates and tries to attack Preet, but Aditya quickly grabs her to shield her from harm. He fights the goon again, but Preet urges him to stop, and in the chaos, the goon manages to escape.
After the confrontation, Nisha hugs Aditya tightly, shaken by the ordeal. Preet offers her water, trying to help her calm down. Aditya also reassures Nisha, but when Preet attempts to touch Nisha’s hand, Nisha pulls away, glaring at her. This moment of tension highlights the underlying rivalry and mistrust between the two women. Preet insists that they need to review the CCTV footage to identify the attacker, emphasizing the importance of ensuring Nisha’s safety. Aditya agrees, recognizing the validity of her concerns.
Nisha, still feigning fear, insists that Aditya stay close to her, acting as if she is utterly terrified. Preet, sensing Nisha’s manipulative behavior, excuses herself from the scene. Nisha, feeling abandoned, accuses Preet of being selfish and cunning for leaving her in such a vulnerable state.
As the episode progresses, the anchor announces Sushama as the award winner, but Neeti fails to notice Parineet’s presence in the crowd. After the announcement, Preet confides in Harjot about her suspicions regarding Nisha’s behavior during the attack. She recounts the incident, expressing her belief that Nisha was not genuinely scared but was instead orchestrating the situation for her own motives, as the goon had not harmed her at all.
Aditya continues to console Nisha, who thanks him profusely for his assistance during the attack, further solidifying her facade of vulnerability. The episode concludes with a sense of intrigue and tension, leaving viewers questioning Nisha’s true intentions and the dynamics between the characters as they navigate this complex web of relationships and deceit.
