The episode opens with a priest chanting sacred mantras as Vasudha feels her heart racing. She reflects on Lakshmi’s words about the emotions brides experience during their marriage. Meanwhile, Guruji informs Chandrika that while something ominous was expected to occur, it ultimately did not.
As the ceremony progresses, the priest instructs Devansh and Vasudha to stand and exchange garlands. Vasudha remembers Lakshmi explaining that this ritual symbolizes the bride and groom becoming integral parts of each other’s lives. She smiles at Devansh, who returns her gaze with a grin as they exchange the garlands. The priest proclaims that Vasudha and Devansh have chosen one another through this ritual. Avinash comments to Mac that the couple appears to be in a romantic moment, while Vasudha finds herself questioning why this feels so much like a genuine marriage.
In a nearby village, Hanumant arrives at the temple with Raghu, sharing the news of Vasudha’s arranged marriage with the priest, who expresses his delight. Hanumant then hands over Vasudha’s horoscope for the priest to review. After examining it, the priest announces that Vasudha’s marriage is set to take place today, but Hanumant clarifies that while the engagement has occurred, the wedding will not happen as planned.
Back at the ceremony, Vasudha places her hand over Devansh’s as they participate in another ritual. Avinash notices how genuine the situation appears. As they take the traditional pheres, Vasudha recalls Lakshmi’s teachings about their significance. They successfully complete the pheres, deepening Vasudha’s sense of this being a true wedding.
Sarika, watching from the sidelines, grows irritated and wonders why she can’t reach Karishma. Devansh then places a toe ring on Vasudha’s foot, and Sarika mumbles to herself that this doesn’t seem like a fake marriage at all. The priest instructs Devansh to apply vermilion to Vasudha’s forehead, after which he adorns her with a nuptial chain. Vasudha gazes deeply into Devansh’s eyes, smiling as the song “Sapna Hai Sach Hai” plays in the background. She looks at her nuptial chain, reminded of Lakshmi’s warning that a Suhaagan should never remove it.
As the priest announces the completion of the marriage rituals, the director calls for a cut and pack-up. Devansh begins to leave, startling Vasudha. Avinash congratulates Devansh, noting that their event is trending, while Mac praises the shoot’s success before departing.
Sarika observes that Devansh has married without informing Chandrika, and Devansh insists it was merely a shoot, not an actual wedding. He promises to explain everything to Chandrika, but Sarika is skeptical and anticipates drama. Avinash reassures Vasudha that she acted brilliantly, though Vasudha feels as if no one else shares her emotions.
As staff members begin to remove Vasudha’s jewelry and garland, she adamantly refuses to let go of her nuptial chain, fleeing the scene in protest.
Devansh’s phone rings; it’s Chandrika. Avinash takes the call and communicates that the shoot was a success and that Mac is pleased. Chandrika, eager for details, asks about Vasudha and Madhav’s performance. Avinash tells her they’re on their way back and hangs up, prompting Chandrika to instruct Savitri to prepare for their arrival.
Vasudha, now changed, resolves to keep her nuptial chain and vermilion intact, symbolizing her commitment regardless of the circumstances.
The episode concludes with an air of tension and anticipation for what lies ahead.
