The episode begins with a tense confrontation as Nawab questions Heer about her presence in the area. Heer, filled with frustration, starts yelling at him, expressing her anger. Nawab, seemingly unfazed, asks her why she is yelling at him, insisting that he is merely teasing her. Tina, another character in the scene, interjects and asks Nawab if he knows Heer. Nawab casually replies that he met her at the ice cream shop, leaving Heer feeling a mix of irritation and disbelief. She recalls that Nawab had previously worn a sehra covering his face during their last encounter, making her realize that he doesn’t recognize her.
Tina, eager for revenge after feeling humiliated, plots against Heer, and it becomes clear that Nawab is siding with Tina. Heer is puzzled by Nawab’s lack of recognition and feels a surge of defiance. Nawab warns her to comply with Tina’s demands, making it clear that she should not cross paths with her. Unfazed, Heer boldly declares that she isn’t afraid of either of them and calls Nawab a coward.
As the situation escalates, Nawab announces that Heer will dance, to which Heer retorts that he is dreaming if he thinks she will perform for him. In a show of bravado, Nawab starts the music and begins dancing, attempting to assert his dominance. A girl nearby urges Heer to leave, but Nawab snatches her bags, causing Heer to stumble. Just as she is about to fall, Nawab catches her, a moment that sparks conflicting emotions for both of them. Nawab reflects on their previous meeting, suspecting that he has met Heer before, while Heer desperately wishes to remain unrecognized.
After releasing her, Nawab gives Heer an ultimatum: do not mess with Tina. In response, Heer defiantly drags Nawab onto the floor, warning him not to provoke her. Their confrontation is interrupted when Arjun arrives, inquiring about the commotion. He learns that Nawab was teasing the freshers and encourages Heer to speak up. However, Nawab’s worry about being removed from the team becomes apparent as a girl explains to Arjun that they were merely practicing for the upcoming fresher’s party. Arjun instructs everyone to return to their classes, leading Heer to flee to the washroom.
In the washroom, Heer washes her face, tears streaming down as she grapples with the realization that Nawab doesn’t remember her. A fellow student, Koyal, finds her and asks why she ran away. Koyal reminds Heer that she has crossed paths with Tina, but Heer insists that she is not afraid of anyone. Koyal introduces herself and informs Heer about their next class with the seniors.
Meanwhile, Dilip learns that Gulab is stable, implying that Nawab is also doing well. He tells Gulab that one day, Nawab will have to accept Heer as part of his life. However, Gulab expresses indifference, stating that he doesn’t care about Nawab because he hasn’t given Heer any money from his savings. Dilip counters that Heer is also his responsibility, emphasizing the importance of supporting her.
As Heer attends her next class, Nawab chooses to sit beside her, prompting him to ask about her troubles. Heer, caught in a moment of fantasy, jokingly claims to be Nawab’s wife, but she quickly realizes that it’s just a dream. The teacher, noticing Heer’s distraction, reprimands her for not focusing on her studies, prompting her to resolve to concentrate on her academic work.
Richa, another character, informs Gulab that Heer is likely to stay permanently, suggesting that Nawab will never return. Gulab, irritated by this, dismisses Richa’s suggestions as foolish but secretly plots to ruin Heer’s dreams, particularly her education.
The teacher addresses the class, warning them that his course will be challenging and that they must pay attention. He assigns a project, emphasizing the importance of submitting it on time. Heer, now anxious about her assignment, is suddenly surprised by Pammi’s arrival. Pammi inquires about Heer’s in-laws, but Heer feels unable to share her troubles.
When Pammi spots Nawab, she decides to confront him, dragging him in front of Heer. However, Heer quickly hides, feeling a mix of embarrassment and frustration. Nawab seizes the opportunity to escape, but his friends begin teasing him about the situation. Heer, feeling resolute, tells Pammi that she does not care about Nawab, while Nawab vows to teach Pammi a lesson for her meddling. Heer insists that she will not disclose anything to her parents, determined to keep her struggles to herself.
Later, back at home, Heer witnesses Gulab crying for his son, which stirs her compassion. Feeling pity for her father, she contemplates revealing the truth about Nawab to him, hoping to ease Gulab’s pain.
**Precap:** In a shocking turn of events, Nawab damages Heer’s project, further complicating their already tumultuous relationship and setting the stage for more conflict in the episodes to come.
