The episode begins with a lively scene as Chandni is seen insisting that Yuvraj agree to participate in the tilak ceremony. Vikram, supportive of the tradition, joins in urging Yuvraj to sit down and take part in the festivities. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as everyone around them encourages Yuvraj, with Taara expressing her heartfelt sentiments about the occasion.
In a lighter moment, Saina playfully teases Taara, questioning whether Raju Babu, her beloved, is reluctant to participate in the tilak because he might have feelings for someone else. Taara, feeling defensive, responds that she is merely a maid and doesn’t have any insight into such matters. Saina, realizing her joke may have struck a nerve, tries to lighten the mood further, but Taara firmly asks her to refrain from joking about such serious topics.
As the discussions continue, Rukmani expresses her concerns to Chandni, stating that they lack proper knowledge about the tilak ceremony and suggesting that it should be organized at her house instead. Vikram, curious about Rukmani’s intentions, questions her about what she plans to do. Chandni, sensing the tension, advises Vikram to treat Rukmani with respect, reminding him that she also has hopes and dreams regarding her son’s tilak. Chandni encourages Rukmani to take charge and suggests that she should catch Vikram’s attention since she has a fondness for Saina.
Yuvraj, feeling the pressure, asks Vikram about the significance of the tilak ceremony, especially after three years of waiting. Chandni interprets Yuvraj’s reluctance as a sign that he may not want to commit to this relationship, and she reminds Vikram of her guarantee regarding Yuvraj’s intentions. She warns Vikram to consider the consequences if Yuvraj were to back out, as it would tarnish her reputation. Chachu intervenes, assuring Chandni that Yuvraj is not outright denying the ceremony.
Aarushi, sensing the moment, encourages Yuvraj to take a seat for the tilak, and Mithilesh follows suit, urging him to sit down as well. Chandni takes this opportunity to ask Yuvraj if he has feelings for Saina. Yuvraj responds by stating that Chandni does not truly know Saina. Vikram, standing firm in his beliefs, asserts that he still values cultural traditions and rituals. Yuvraj counters that Saina is quite young and should concentrate on her studies rather than get involved in a relationship at this age.
Chote Chachu advises Yuvraj to think carefully about his decision and to prepare himself for the tilak. Dadi, seeking to maintain harmony, encourages Rukmani to convince her son and avoid any unnecessary drama. Vikram, aware of the time, urges Yuvraj to get ready, while Rukmani calls for him. With the atmosphere charged with anticipation, Vikram tells Chandni to proceed with the tilak ceremony, and Chandni leads Yuvraj away.
As Yuvraj dons the traditional pagdi, Chandni compliments him, stating that he looks very handsome, which brings a smile to Saina’s face. Saina confides in Taara, expressing that Yuvraj is her first love and that he possesses a wonderful personality. She shares her determination to win Yuvraj’s affection, and Taara encourages her, suggesting that Yuvraj should receive the chandan ka tika, a traditional auspicious mark. Saina attempts to speak to her Massi, but Massi calls her closer, interrupting her.
Chandni instructs Taara to sit on the floor, and Saina calls out to Chandni, wanting to ensure that Taara’s feelings are acknowledged. The family members express a desire for Saina to sit next to Yuvraj during the photo session. Saina informs Chandni that Taara has something important to say, but instead of listening, Chandni humiliates Taara once again. Taara, feeling the pressure, points out that no one has yet given the chandan ka tika.
In a surprising turn, Chandni insists that she will be the one to apply the tika to Yuvraj, leaving Taara in shock. Despite her hesitation, Chandni drags Taara forward in front of everyone, declaring that Taara wishes to give the chandan tika to Yuvraj, emphasizing its significance for the groom. Vikram supports Chandni’s decision, suggesting that Yuvraj’s sister should perform the tika. However, Chandni is insistent, stating that she wants Taara to do it.
With a mix of reluctance and duty, Taara applies the tika to Yuvraj, and once this is done, Chandni quickly sends her back to her place. She then instructs Saina to stand beside Yuvraj, presenting him with a chain as part of the ceremony. Vikram encourages Yuvraj to seek blessings from Chandni, and in an unexpected announcement, Chandni declares a ring ceremony. This revelation shocks both Taara and Yuvraj, while Saina blushes with excitement.
Chandni urges Yuvraj to extend his hand, and Saina shyly places the ring on his finger, prompting applause from everyone present. Meanwhile, Taara watches with a heavy heart, feeling the sting of jealousy and sadness. She reflects on her feelings, thinking that Raja Babu will surely be happy with Saina and that perhaps she will have to forget her own feelings for him.
In the precap, the tension escalates as Taara confronts her emotions, returning the ring to Yuvraj. Chandni, taken aback, questions Vikram about why Taara is in possession of the ring, hinting at the brewing conflict that is sure to unfold in the next episode.
