The episode begins with Hanumant reflecting on Madhav’s words. Devansh assists Hanumant in sitting down while Chandrika urges Devansh to find Madhav at any cost and bring him to her. Devansh acknowledges her request with a nod, while Vasudha feels responsible for the family’s distress.
Earlier, Vasudha had confided in herself that she would confront God and choose to be born as Chandrika’s daughter in her next life. Just as she tries to leave, Madhav stops her. She insists she must go, but Madhav counters that her departure will only cause suffering for her family. Vasudha expresses that she has no other choice. She reveals that she is already married to Devansh and can’t marry Madhav, but keeping this truth hidden is becoming a burden. She admits to deceiving everyone in her life.
Madhav questions her ability to find happiness if she leaves. She admits she doesn’t know if she can be happy, but Madhav insists that staying in Chauhan’s house is her destiny. He mentions the deep, nameless connection between her and Devansh, expressing his belief that she is meant to be Devansh’s wife. Madhav states that he, being an orphan, would be okay with leaving, but he only wants Vasudha to find joy.
Vasudha tells Madhav that he doesn’t have to leave. However, he insists on it and asks her to promise she won’t disclose the real reason for his departure, swearing on Devansh’s name. Shocked, she asserts her commitment to her marriage and explains that for Devansh, it’s merely a role in a film. Madhav argues that Devansh approached the shoot with sincerity.
Vasudha says it’s impossible, feeling she lacks the status to be a daughter-in-law of the Chauhan family. Madhav counters by saying that love transcends status. She insists she has never experienced anything resembling love. Madhav presses her with questions, and each time she responds with Devansh’s name. When he asks her whom she truly loves, she again mentions Devansh, realizing the weight of her own words. Madhav tells her the truth is clear: neither Vasudha nor Devansh recognize their love for one another, but he sincerely wishes for her happiness before leaving.
In the present, Chandrika is incredulous at the situation. Hanumant explains to her that everything falls to Vasudha’s fate, indicating that her life has become a mockery. He sorrowfully tells her that Vasudha’s marriage will never occur and apologizes to Vasudha. She reassures him that he hasn’t done anything wrong. In a moment of frustration, Hanumant takes his late wife Janaki’s mangalsutra from his pocket and discards it, stating it was intended for Madhav but that no one will place it around Vasudha’s neck now.
Devansh retrieves the discarded mangalsutra from the floor and hands it back to Vasudha, offering his support along with a promise to bring Madhav back to her. Chandrika warns Hanumant that storms test people’s strength, advising him not to falter. She vows not to let Madhav off the hook since they didn’t compel him to act against his wishes, insisting that Madhav must answer for his actions.
The episode concludes.
