The episode opens with Renuka expressing her lack of trust in her son, Sachin, and openly belittling the jobs of both Sachin and Sayali. Despite Sachin promising to return all of Sayali’s jewelry, she remains without adornment, holding on to the hope that one day he will restore her mangalsutra with the respect it deserves. Throughout this, Renuka continues to mock Sayali, even criticizing her for not preparing breakfast, oblivious to the fact that Sayali has made all the food herself.
After breakfast, Sachin heads out to meet his friends, asking them to bring in more passengers for his transport business to help him earn some extra money. His friends suggest he should consider borrowing money, but Sachin refuses, determined not to go into debt for a mangalsutra for his beloved wife. He shares the struggles Sayali faces, which touches his friends; they promise to keep an eye out for any additional passengers.
In a floral shop owned by Sayali, two mischievous men enter, one of whom is immediately drawn to Sayali’s beauty. He begins to flirt with her, but Sayali, feeling irritated by his advances, brushes him off. The man asks her to prepare garlands for a wedding, only to be told that she doesn’t sell them. He ultimately buys some flowers and leaves, but not before taking several secret photos of Sayali without her consent, much to her discomfort.
Meanwhile, Tejas is shown struggling at work in a restaurant, where he receives little respect and faces numerous challenges. Despite these issues, he persists, knowing he has no choice but to endure.
Later, Sayali calls Sachin to inform him about the unusual man who had bothered her. Enraged, Sachin vows to confront the man for disturbing his wife.
In another scene at the restaurant, Tejas takes an order from a customer who soon grows angry when he discovers the kitchen is out of that particular dish. Tejas tries to explain, but the customer insults him for his perceived irresponsibility. The manager intervenes and instructs Tejas to resolve the situation quickly.
As the day wraps up, Sachin returns home late, prompting Sayali to express her frustration over his tardiness. He neglects to mention that he has been working overtime to provide for her.
Unbeknownst to everyone, the mischievous man has gathered Sayali’s phone number and name and intends to pursue a relationship without regard for her background.
The episode concludes with tension brewing, setting the stage for further complications to come.
**Precap:** Sachin will face an accident on the road just as Sayali urges him to return home quickly.
