The episode opens with Sarika expressing her frustration over her name being excluded from the wedding invitation for Vasudha and Madhav. She accuses Hanumant of intentionally leaving her out, suggesting that Vasudha doesn’t benefit from her presence. Hanumant quickly defends the situation, while Karishma challenges Hanumant about his financial contributions to Vasudha’s wedding. He reveals that Chandrika provided him the funds, prompting Karishma to mock him, reminding him to know his place. In a fit of anger, Karishma tears up the invitation.
Meanwhile, Chandrika mentions to Savitri that Devansh is getting bored at home and wants to go to the office. She instructs Savitri to ensure that Devansh doesn’t leave the house while she is away. Savitri agrees before departing. Chandrika reflects on Guruji’s advice that Devansh’s wife will be his shield.
Prabhat enters and asks Chandrika if she is thinking about Devansh. She confirms her thoughts are on his shield. Prabhat suggests that Vasudha is the one that protects Devansh. He recalls how Vasudha put her life on the line for their family and insists on visiting the Kuldevi temple. Chandrika, concerned about bringing Devansh along, worries about how to manage it. Prabhat assures her that Vasudha, having saved Devansh’s life, will look after him in their absence.
Meanwhile, Avinash notices Devansh staring at a logo, teasing him about his apparent infatuation with the girl represented by it. Devansh brushes it off, asserting that true love only happens once in a lifetime. Avinash is convinced that Devansh is indeed in love.
The next day, a puja is underway at Vasudha’s house. Chandrika places a tika on both Vasudha’s and Madhav’s foreheads as the priest announces the completion of the ceremony. As they seek the blessings of the elders, Chandrika asks Hanumant about his wishes. He expresses a desire to fund Vasudha’s wedding himself. Chandrika tells him to communicate any needs he may have and instructs Vasudha to keep an eye on Devansh until she returns.
Later on, Savitri approaches Devansh, trying to coax him into eating, but he refuses, claiming he feels imprisoned at home. Savitri informs Vasudha about Devansh’s refusal to eat and his desire to go outside. Concerned, Vasudha goes to Devansh’s room and tells him she has come to check on him. She insists he must eat, warning that Chandrika will scold her if he doesn’t. Devansh reluctantly agrees and eats his food.
After some time, Chandrika offers prasad to Devansh, mentioning that Guruji said there is a protective shield near him. Devansh whimsically tells her that she is his shield. She advises him to rest instead of working and leaves the room. Avinash then peeks at Devansh’s laptop, realizing he has been gazing at the logo. He suggests to himself that Chandrika should find the girl associated with the logo.
Devansh brings up the upcoming event members’ meeting with Avinash, eager for the truth about Madhav’s kidnapping to be revealed. Sarika, overhearing their conversation, appears shocked.
