In today’s episode, the narrative unfolds as Krish takes the initiative to introduce his friends to Tanya and Anshuman. However, the moment is interrupted when Manisha decides to step in and formally introduce the family members to Anshuman and Tanya. She takes this opportunity to elaborate on the family dynamics, mentioning Kaveri, Vidya, and Abhira. Kajal, another family member, chimes in by stating that Abhira is the “daughter of the house,” highlighting her significance within the family. As Tanya and Kajal engage in a friendly conversation, a bond begins to form between them, which unfortunately leaves Krish feeling a bit upset and overshadowed.
In a different part of the gathering, Vidya approaches Anshuman with a request. She asks him if he would be willing to give them another chance to pitch their ideas. Anshuman, maintaining a professional demeanor, responds that he prefers to keep his personal and professional lives separate, indicating his reluctance to mix business with personal relationships.
Meanwhile, the playful atmosphere continues as Armaan engages in a game with Maira after she insists on playing. To distract him from the game, Maira turns on the television. Armaan, displaying a sense of connection, claims that he can find Maira simply by sensing her heartbeat. This playful banter leads to Maira suggesting they play a game of hide and seek, adding a layer of innocence and joy to the scene.
Back with Krish and Tanya, they decide to take some pictures together. Krish suggests they start with solo shots, and Tanya readily agrees. When Krish asks if he can go first, Tanya gives him the green light. However, the family dynamics shift when Kajal invites Kaveri to join them for a family photo. Kaveri, however, declines the invitation, which prompts Manoj to remark that their family feels incomplete without Kaveri, Vidya, and Abhira present. This comment irritates Krish, who is visibly frustrated by the presence of Kaveri, Vidya, and Abhira.
As the day progresses, Armaan continues to play with Maira, but he soon learns about Krish’s engagement, which brings a mix of emotions. Tanya encourages the Poddar family to smile for the camera, emphasizing the celebratory nature of her engagement. However, Armaan’s gaze falls on Abhira, leading him to assume that she is content without him. This perception deepens his belief that the Poddar family never truly valued him, and he feels that Abhira has treated him merely as an option rather than a priority.
Anshuman, on the other hand, discovers that Abhira is involved in fighting legal cases for the underprivileged without charging them, which impresses him and adds depth to his understanding of her character. However, tension escalates when Krish confronts Kaveri, Vidya, and Abhira about their involvement in pitching at the startup. He directs his frustration towards Abhira, blaming her for their struggles. In a heated exchange, Abhira defends their presence, stating they came only to bless Krish. Krish, in a moment of anger, declares that no one can be happy around Abhira, accusing her of failing in her roles as a mother, wife, and daughter-in-law. This confrontation culminates in a shocking moment when Kaveri slaps Krish in response to his harsh words.
Amidst the chaos, Vidya reflects on her perceived failures and worries that she has ruined Abhira’s life. Abhira, ever the pillar of strength, reassures both Kaveri and Vidya, encouraging them not to overthink their situations. She shares that she has faced more challenging days and emphasizes that she wouldn’t have made it through without their support. Anshuman, witnessing the family dynamics, grows concerned after seeing Kaveri, Abhira, and Vidya eating by the roadside instead of participating in the family function, highlighting the stark contrast between their struggles and the celebration around them.
In another subplot, Maira approaches Armaan, asking for his permission to participate in an intercity dance competition alongside Geetanjali. Initially, Armaan agrees, but he soon reverts to his earlier decision to ignore Abhira, convinced that she is happy without him.
Precap
In a surprising turn of events, Anshuman expresses his desire to hold Abhira’s hand, leaving her visibly shocked. Kaveri and Vidya seem to approve of Anshuman as a potential match for Abhira, hinting at a budding romance. Meanwhile, Maira excitedly informs Armaan that she has been selected for the finale of the dance competition in Udaipur. However, Armaan refuses to take her, leading to Maira becoming adamant about her participation. This situation makes Armaan realize that he may have to return to Udaipur for her. In the midst of these developments, Abhira feels a sense of hope, sensing that she might be on the verge of reclaiming her lost happiness.
