The episode begins with Suman, her face a mask of determination, performing the sacred Gangaur Pooja in her home. The atmosphere is heavy with incense and the soft sound of prayers as she fervently prays for the life of her husband, Teerth, who lies in a hospital bed fighting for his life. Each gesture of devotion is filled with hope and desperation, as Suman believes that her unwavering faith can influence the divine to save him.
As she holds the beautifully crafted Gangaur idol, a sudden movement catches Gitanjali Devi’s eye. She gasps as she notices a poisonous snake coiled around the idol, its menacing presence stark against the backdrop of Suman’s prayers. Gitanjali Devi, filled with concern, approaches Suman and urgently requests her to relinquish the idol. “You must give it away, Suman! It’s dangerous!” she pleads, her voice laced with fear. However, Suman, steadfast in her beliefs, refuses to part with the idol. “No, I can’t give up now. If I complete the Gangaur Pooja with all my devotion, I believe I can save Teerth,” she asserts, her resolve unshaken.
Meanwhile, in the sterile environment of the hospital, Teerth slowly regains consciousness. His eyes flutter open, and he blinks against the harsh hospital lights. A nurse, noticing his improvement, quickly calls for the surgical team. As the doctors prepare for the operation, Vikram stealthily enters the room, his face masked, concealing his true intentions. He carries a syringe filled with poison, intending to mix it with Teerth’s medication during the chaos of the operation.
At that moment, Reva and Rishi arrive at the hospital, anxious to see their father. They approach Akhil, pleading with him to allow them to visit Teerth, even if just for a moment. Akhil, seeing their distress, reluctantly agrees and leads them to the door of the operating room. As they peer inside, Reva and Rishi notice Vikram behaving suspiciously, preparing to inject something into Teerth’s IV line. Alarm bells ring in their heads, and without hesitation, they rush into the operating room to confront Vikram.
“Stop! What are you doing?” Reva shouts, her voice echoing in the sterile environment. Rishi stands beside her, equally determined to protect their father. Vikram, caught off guard, struggles to push the syringe into Teerth’s body but is interrupted by the sudden appearance of the children. The lead surgeon, noticing the commotion, becomes visibly disturbed. “Get them out of here!” he orders the nurse, who rushes to escort Reva and Rishi away.
Back at Suman’s home, Gitanjali Devi continues to implore Suman to abandon her ritual, but Suman remains resolute, her faith unwavering. Devika, lurking in the shadows, watches with a mix of envy and malice. She had anticipated the snake would bite Suman, believing that would pave the way for her own ambitions. However, as the minutes pass and the snake remains still, Devika grows increasingly restless. In a moment of desperation, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Pretending to aim for the snake, she brandishes a gun, her intentions clear.
“No! Don’t!” both Gitanjali Devi and Suman cry out in unison, recognizing the danger. “That snake represents Lord Mahadeva! You cannot harm it!” Suman pleads, her heart racing. Devika hesitates, caught between her desire for revenge and the weight of tradition.
Outside the operating room, Reva and Rishi, still shaken from their encounter with Vikram, reveal the shocking truth to Akhil. “Vikram was trying to poison Dad! We saw him!” they exclaim, their eyes wide with fear. Akhil, stunned by this revelation, struggles to comprehend the gravity of the situation. “What? How could this happen?” he breathes, his mind racing with concern for Teerth.
Meanwhile, the lead surgeon approaches Akhil with a grave expression. “We need to call the patient’s wife immediately. Teerth’s condition has worsened after the operation,” he informs him, urgency in his voice. Akhil, feeling the weight of the news, immediately contacts Suman’s mother, urging her to bring Suman to the hospital without delay.
When Suman receives the news, her heart drops. The weight of her rituals and prayers suddenly feels trivial in comparison to the urgency of the situation. “What? Teerth is in danger?” she gasps, her voice trembling. Without a second thought, she abandons her pooja, her devotion shifting from the idol to her husband’s life. She races out of the house, her heart pounding, determined to reach the hospital and be by Teerth’s side.
