The episode opens with Chandrika and Prabhat warmly welcoming their guests, particularly the Suryavanshi family. Raghav and Reet seek blessings from Chandrika and Prabhat, followed by Unnati and Dhruv. Sharada blesses Devansh and Avinash, inquiring about the prospects of Devansh’s marriage. Chandrika reassures her that she will find a good wife for Devansh soon, with God’s grace.
Chandrika shows Sharada to her room. Sharada observes that Chandrika hasn’t changed at all. Chandrika quickly affirms their friendship will remain unchanged, inviting Sharada to reach out if she needs anything. However, when Sharada notices a photo of Neeta, she questions why it is still there. Chandrika coldly responds that Neeta betrayed her and that she will never forgive her, and promptly leaves the room.
Meanwhile, Vasudha is washing the Chunar. Karishma approaches, instructing Savitri to make her black coffee, and drags her away. Sarika informs Vasudha that everyone is ready except for her.
Reet expresses her intention to iron Raghav’s outfit, but he hesitates, asking if she is still upset with him. Reet clarifies that they were never truly husband and wife, but friends. Raghav insists he can do it himself and attempts to take the iron from her, resulting in Reet getting injured, which causes Raghav to worry.
Chandrika introduces Madhav to Sharada, while Unnati tries to assist Dhruv, who dismisses her help and walks away. Meanwhile, Vasudha prepares herself, visibly anxious about the Chunar. She prays for divine intervention, and Reet arrives to compliment her.
Once ready, Chandrika announces she will fetch Vasudha. Reet brings her forward, where Devansh encourages Vasudha to move on with Madhav. Reet notices that Vasudha doesn’t appear happy, but Chandrika insists on beginning the wedding rituals. She asks Hanumant to start the first ceremony, stating he serves as both mother and father to Vasudha. Hanumant expresses gratitude for Chandrika’s support and proceeds to bless Vasudha and Madhav while performing the aarti.
Chandrika then introduces Sharada to Vasudha, suggesting they perform the aarti together, which Sharada accepts, though she internally struggles with honoring a maid. Sarika informs Chandrika that Vasudha is wearing a different Chunar, while Karishma counters that it’s the same one, just decorated with mehendi. Vasudha ponders her fate to God, as the mehendi artist asks which name should be inscribed on her hand. Chandrika suggests Madhav’s name, but Vasudha insists on having her name. Madhav has no objections, and Chandrika agrees.
Tensions rise when Sarika accuses Vasudha of ruining the chadar. Vasudha defends herself, confused about how the Chunar became damaged. Suspecting Sarika’s involvement, Chandrika confronts her, declaring that Sarika deserves punishment for her misdeeds. Sarika reluctantly slaps herself at Chandrika’s insistence.
Chandrika resumes the ritual, praising Vasudha for her composure in handling the situation. Sarika leaves in disgrace as Chandrika instructs the mehendi artist to write Raghav’s name on Reet’s hand. Sharada suggests it would be even better if Raghav writes it himself, and Chandrika agrees, while Unnati proposes that Dhruv should do the same.
Vasudha reflects on how well Raghav and Reet complement each other, asking God to bless their union. Chandrika then inquires about Madhav’s special guest, prompting him to video call them. Vasudha silently wishes for a moment alone with Madhav. Meanwhile, Devansh brings food for Vasudha, claiming he sensed her hunger. As he begins to feed her, Vasudha wonders about the genuine care Devansh shows her, despite being unaware of their complex relationship. Just then, as she stumbles, Devansh catches her to steady her.
The episode concludes on this note of suspense.
