The episode opens with an awkward yet amusing scene involving Roshni’s uncle, who is making a rather obvious attempt to flirt with Pari, the new guest in the Deshmukh family. The atmosphere is a mix of confusion and discomfort as the entire family, along with two guests, gathers around the dinner table. Roshni’s uncle’s peculiar behavior raises eyebrows, leaving everyone feeling perplexed and unsure of how to respond. Pari, on the other hand, seems to take a liking to Paresh, another family member, and openly praises Sayali for the delicious dishes she has prepared, further adding to the complexity of the evening.
As the dinner progresses, Renuka, the matriarch of the family, lovingly feeds her son Sachin with her own hands. This tender gesture leaves both Sachin and Sayali momentarily speechless, highlighting the warmth and affection within the family. Meanwhile, Riya, curious about Pari’s life, bombards her with numerous questions about her job and lifestyle abroad. However, Pari’s responses are vague and confusing, leaving Riya with lingering doubts about her authenticity. Despite Pari’s attempts to cover up any discrepancies, her answers only deepen Riya’s suspicions.
The flirting from Pari becomes increasingly uncomfortable, especially for Paresh, who finds himself embarrassed by her attention. Unable to bear the situation any longer, he excuses himself from the dinner table. Roshni’s uncle, however, remains fixated on Pari, completely disregarding the meal in front of him. Sensing the tension, Tejas turns to Roshni for help, urging her to manage her uncle’s inappropriate behavior. In a bid to defuse the situation, Roshni concocts a false excuse to usher her uncle away from the table. Before he leaves, he awkwardly requests Pari’s phone number, but she declines to share it, much to Roshni’s relief. Exhausted by her uncle’s antics, Roshni feels overwhelmed and frustrated.
Later, Pari makes a request to Tejas for more alkaline water from the market, emphasizing its supposed health benefits. Tejas, however, is reluctant to spend money on such expensive water, prompting Roshni to step in and encourage her son to handle the situation more diplomatically.
As night falls, Sachin is visibly fatigued from maintaining the facade of sophistication in front of their guests. He confides in Sayali about his exhaustion from pretending to be someone he’s not. Sayali, appreciating Sachin’s true self, encourages him to drop the disguise. She feels a sense of joy and satisfaction when Renuka lovingly feeds Sachin, highlighting the family’s bond. Just then, Tejas storms into the kitchen, expressing his irritation and casting doubt on Pari’s intentions. He wonders aloud if she might be a fraud, raising concerns that resonate with the rest of the family.
Roshni, trying to keep the peace, urges Tejas to focus on their own goals rather than getting caught up in suspicions. One by one, Akash and Riya join the conversation, echoing Tejas’s doubts about Pari’s behavior. The shared uncertainty only complicates matters further. Suddenly, Renuka enters the kitchen and overhears her children discussing their concerns about Pari. Anger flashes across her face as she reprimands them for speaking ill of her friend, defending Pari fiercely.
In a separate scene, Pari retreats to her room and makes a phone call to discuss her next move. It becomes clear that she has ulterior motives for her presence in the Deshmukh household. She reveals her plan to manipulate the family for her own benefit, specifically targeting Paresh, whom she views as a simple and wealthy individual. Pari also harbors a long-standing rivalry with Renuka, seeing this as an opportunity for revenge by attempting to steal Paresh away from her.
Back in the family quarters, Roshni dismisses her children’s suspicions about Pari, insisting that they should not overthink the situation. She suggests that Sachin sleep with Tejas, but a playful disagreement ensues, with Sachin insisting that Tejas should take the floor while he claims the bed. Their light-hearted bickering brings some comic relief to the tense atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Riya and Akash decide to join Renuka in her room for the night. However, Riya finds it difficult to sleep due to Renuka’s loud snoring. Seeking a quieter space, she sneaks out to the dining hall and settles down on the couch. In the midst of the night, she notices Pari sneaking out of the house, prompting her to alert Sayali. When Pari is caught in the act, she feigns sleepwalking, attempting to deflect suspicion with her innocent act.
As the episode draws to a close, the tension remains high, with the family dynamics growing increasingly complicated.
**Precap:** In a shocking twist, Pari reveals her true intentions: she plans to sell Renuka’s property for her own gain, setting the stage for further conflict and drama in the upcoming episodes.
