The episode begins with Sachin and Sayali arriving home, where Akash warmly congratulates them. However, Tejash scolds Akash and harshly criticizes Sachin’s choices. Sachin stands his ground, telling Tejash to mind his own business. Paresh unexpectedly supports Sachin, leaving Renuka in shock. Tejash, visibly upset, questions Sayali about why she removed her nuptial chain. Sayali explains her wish to wear the chain Sachin gave her, and adds that she no longer feels trapped in a forced marriage. Sachin agrees with her sentiments. Despite this, both Renuka and Tejash continue to mock the couple. Sachin retorts by reminding Tejash of his ex-lover who left him for money. Tejash attempts to respond, but Roshni intervenes. Sachin then requests Paresh’s approval for post-wedding rituals, to which Paresh readily agrees.
Later, Riya confides in Roshni about her concerns for Sayali, believing that she is being coerced into the relationship. Roshni reminds Riya that ultimately, it’s Sayali’s choice. Meanwhile, Sachin and Sayali participate in a puja and openly express their feelings for each other, with Sachin admitting he has fallen for her. They then go about their daily tasks.
That night, Tejash gets a call from his colleague Rudra, who informs him of the company’s new address verification policy for employees. Tejash starts to panic at the thought of being exposed in front of Sachin and tries to figure out how to handle the situation. When Paresh inquires about Tejash’s call, he explains the company policy. Roshni suggests to Renuka that if they give Rudra a proper welcome, it could lead to Tejash’s promotion, which makes Renuka happy. She instructs Paresh to ask Sachin not to trouble Tejash in front of Rudra and warns that she might leave if matters don’t improve. Sachin responds with a teasing remark directed at Renuka, which angers her. Paresh tries to mediate, while both Sachin and Sayali sense that Tejash is hiding something.
Tejash steps outside to greet Rudra, hiding a flowerpot that conceals his nameplate, which bears his qualifications. He worries about being seen as overqualified by his employer. When Rudra arrives, Tejash requests him not to mention his qualifications in front of his family, fearing it would upset his mother. He also urges Rudra to leave immediately after verifying his address, and Rudra agrees.
Rudra is pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome from the Deshmukhs. Renuka and Roshni go out of their way to impress him, much to Tejash’s annoyance. Before leaving, Renuka asks Rudra to provide a favorable impression of Tejash to his employer, and Rudra agrees. The family then disperses to their respective rooms.
Later, Sachin questions Sayali about why their room hasn’t been prepared for their first night together. Sayali reminds him that they were married long ago. Meanwhile, Tejash sleep-talks in his sleep, and Roshni overhears him. When she questions him, Tejash tries to assure her with a lie, but Roshni’s skeptical gaze deepens his anxiety. In a tender moment, Sayali admits her feelings for Sachin, and they share some playful banter.
**Precap:** Renuka becomes irritated with the antics of her son and daughter-in-law during the night and orders them to spend the night apart. Riya suggests throwing a party, which everyone agrees to, leading to an enjoyable evening. However, Renuka watches them with growing fury.
