The scene opens in a bustling temple, where the atmosphere is filled with devotion and anticipation. Pandit Ji, the revered priest, instructs Ruhi and Rohit to partake in the prasad, a sacred offering that symbolizes blessings and gratitude. However, Manisha, observant and concerned, notices that Ruhi is not eating. She approaches Ruhi with a look of worry and asks her why she is refusing the prasad. Ruhi, visibly uncomfortable, replies that she is feeling suffocated due to the heat, her brow glistening with perspiration.
Rohit, ever the caring partner, quickly decides to take Ruhi outside the temple for some fresh air. Before they leave, both Rohit and Ruhi turn to Abhira and Arman, encouraging them to take the prasad, emphasizing the importance of sharing blessings with loved ones.
As they step away, Manisha turns her attention to Kajal, expressing her disappointment that Abhira and Arman chose not to attend the puja. Kajal, attempting to defend their absence, suggests that perhaps Abhira and Arman might have felt uncomfortable or upset about the situation. Undeterred, Manisha decides to call out to Arman and Abhira, wanting to understand their perspective.
Meanwhile, Sanjay, a keen observer, catches sight of Abhira and Arman sneaking into the temple in disguise to attend the veneration. His eyes narrow with suspicion as he begins to wonder what they are up to.
Back with Ruhi and Rohit, Rohit praises Abhira and Arman, declaring them the best friends anyone could ask for. In a tender moment, Abhira feeds Ruhi the prasad, but Ruhi hesitates, expressing her concern that the prasad is meant for the baby’s parents. Abhira, with a reassuring smile, reminds her that she too is a parent, emphasizing the bond they all share. Just then, Ruhi suddenly loses her balance, prompting Abhira to advise her to take extra care of herself, a testament to their deepening friendship and concern for one another.
Meanwhile, Sanjay is determined to uncover the truth about the relationships between Ruhi, Abhira, Rohit, and Arman, convinced that there is more to their story than meets the eye.
In a different part of the temple, Kiara approaches Charu with a question about entering a particular room. Charu quickly makes an excuse about having a meeting, her demeanor slightly evasive. Abhir, observing the interaction, urges Kiara to pack her bags and return home, sensing that something is amiss. Kiara, suspicious of Charu’s actions, wonders aloud if Charu entered the room at an inappropriate time. Abhir, insistent, repeats his request for Kiara to get ready to leave.
As the day progresses, Abhira and Arman share a lighthearted moment while shopping for toys for their baby. Their excitement is palpable, but it soon leads to a misunderstanding when Vidya, a family friend, mistakenly assumes that they are expecting a second child. Her joy is infectious, but it also raises eyebrows. Meanwhile, Sanjay, still piecing together the puzzle, speculates that Arman and Abhira might be planning to adopt Ruhi and Rohit’s baby, a theory he resolves to share with Kaveri.
Kaveri, eager to discuss the future with Ruhi and Rohit, brings up the topic of their second baby. Her comments make both Ruhi and Rohit visibly nervous, as Kaveri expresses her hope that Ruhi will have a smoother pregnancy this time around. In a gesture of love, Kaveri decides to gift a ring to Ruhi and Rohit’s baby. Just then, Vidya interrupts, suggesting that they should consider getting another ring, as she believes that Abhira and Arman are also expecting a child. This revelation only heightens Ruhi and Rohit’s anxiety, leaving them feeling overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, Charu confronts Abhir, accusing him of playing with both Kiara’s and her emotions. Abhir, caught off guard, tries to explain that he is completely clueless about Kiara’s feelings and pleads with Charu to trust him. Just then, he spots Kiara approaching, and Charu, feeling a surge of emotion, quickly hides, tears welling in her eyes.
In the midst of all the chaos, Vidya decides to pay a visit to Abhira and Arman to congratulate them on their supposed pregnancy. However, Kaveri advises her not to disturb them during this sensitive time. Instead, Vidya chooses to bless them from outside, her intentions pure but misaligned with the reality of the situation.
As Abhira and Arman continue with their day, they soon realize that Vidya has misunderstood the situation, believing that Abhira is pregnant. The news spreads quickly, and soon the Poddars and the Goenkas gather, buzzing with excitement about the supposed pregnancy. Abhira and Arman, caught off guard by the sudden attention, find themselves in a state of shock, unsure of how to respond to the enthusiastic family members.
Meanwhile, Sanjay uncovers the fact that Ruhi has an IVF appointment, leading him to doubt Ruhi and Rohit’s true intentions. His suspicions grow, and he begins to formulate a plan to confront them. Elsewhere, Shivani spots Vidya standing outside the house, looking forlorn. She approaches her with compassion, trying to comfort her amidst the confusion.
Back at the family gathering, the Poddars present a ring to Abhira, but both Abhira and Arman refuse to accept it. They attempt to clarify the misunderstanding, but the family insists that they take it, believing it to be a celebration of good news.
**Precap:** In a climactic moment, Abhira, Arman, Rohit, and Ruhi gather their families—the Poddars and the Goenkas—to reveal the truth about their intertwined lives. Just as they prepare to speak, Sanjay interrupts, announcing that Ruhi is Abhira’s surrogate. He claims that Ruhi and Rohit want to make a grand gesture by giving birth to Abhira’s child. The revelation leaves the Poddars and the Goenkas stunned, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation and unveiling of secrets.
