The episode opens with Avinash urging Vasudha to remove her nuptial chain and leave with him, but Vasudha firmly states that she won’t take it off, asserting that she is a married woman now. Avinash is taken aback, insisting that the marriage was merely a sham. He then brings Devansh into the conversation, who confirms that the shooting is over. Vasudha, however, counters that although the shoot has concluded, her married life begins now, emphasizing that the nuptial chain and vermilion signify her status as a married woman.
Devansh argues that the entire situation was fake and not genuine. Sarika interjects, claiming that the whole affair was a ploy orchestrated by Vasudha and Hanumant. She accuses Vasudha of making Madhav disappear. Devansh demands that Vasudha remove the chain, but she stands her ground. He expresses disappointment, admitting he never expected this behavior from her and regrets trusting her.
Avinash steps in, trying to keep the peace, but Devansh snaps at him to be quiet. He reminds Vasudha that she sat beside him as the brand ambassador of his company and not as his wife. In a fit of anger, Sarika attempts to yank the nuptial chain from Vasudha’s neck, but Vasudha holds her back. Sarika retaliates by slapping Vasudha, prompting her to suddenly awaken from what turns out to be a dream.
Shortly after, Avinash arrives and notices that Vasudha is hiding her nuptial chain. When he asks about the vermilion, Vasudha admits she struggled to remove it. Avinash reassures her, thanking her for maintaining her composure when she saw Devansh at Madhav’s place. He tells her that her actions today have saved his reputation.
Meanwhile, Devansh reflects on the situation and hopes he hasn’t hurt Vasudha’s feelings. Upon seeing her, he asks if she’s alright, reiterating that everything that happened was merely part of the shoot and not real. Vasudha nods in understanding, and Devansh expresses relief, stating that this will make it easier for him to reveal the truth to Chandrika.
Sarika calls Karishma to inform her that the shoot is complete, and Vasudha has become an international model. Karishma is skeptical and asks how that’s possible, to which Sarika explains that Devansh took Madhav’s place during the shoot. Karishma reprimands Sarika for not stopping Devansh and warns her not to mention this to Chandrika until she arrives. Meanwhile, Karishma leaves Madhav, who is unconscious, on the street, and a few passersby assist him in regaining consciousness.
Devansh later inquires with Avinash if he has any updates on Madhav, but Avinash shakes his head. As they arrive at the Chauhan mansion, Chandrika instructs Devansh and Avinash to stand for the aarti. Avinash tells Vasudha to join them. Just then, Karishma enters and Sarika asks her about Madhav.
Chandrika warmly welcomes Devansh and Avinash and instructs Savitri to greet Vasudha. However, Devansh’s watch gets caught on Vasudha’s outfit as he tries to adjust it, leading to an awkward moment. Savitri performs the aarti for Vasudha, but Sarika tactfully pushes the aarti plate, making it appear as though Vasudha caused a disturbance. She then orders Vasudha to clean it up. Vasudha steps on the vermilion as she moves inside, which prompts Chandrika to call out to her, ordering Sarika to clean it instead since she instigated the incident.
After a while, Chandrika mentions to Vasudha that she heard the shoot went well, implying that Vasudha might finally understand the significance of marriage.
The episode ends on this note, leaving viewers eager to see how the dynamics will unfold next.
