At the Luthra mansion, Palki and Rajveer are still dancing while everyone happily watches. Shaurya and Sandy return quietly. Varun continues dancing with Shanaya, while Shaurya slips back to the table and claps loudly when the performance ends. He enthusiastically asks for another round of applause.
Sandy then “accidentally” drops the bouquet. Palki bends down to pick it up, and Kavya tries to join her, but Shaurya quickly stops Kavya, making her uneasy.
Back at Preeta’s home, Daljeet storms in angrily, complaining that the kids never listen. She points at Preeta’s maang, shocked to see sindoor still there. Preeta explains she tried to remove it. Daljeet questions how it happened. Preeta admits Karan applied it by accident—the thali fell, they both bent to pick it up, her hair slipped on her forehead, and when he moved it back, the sindoor smudged into her maang.
Daljeet insists this is how things happen in movies. Preeta laughs, saying real life is different. Daljeet, jokingly dramatic, asks why her son-in-law’s father came here. Just then Karan comes out and almost blurts out, asking Preeta if Rajveer is Rudra, but stops himself. He decides he needs solid proof before confronting her. He tells Preeta he’ll meet her later and leaves. Preeta wonders why Mr. Karan Luthra appeared here, surely not to meet her. She remembers he said Rajveer’s name and becomes tense.
Back at the party, Kavya confronts Shaurya about stopping her. He lies that he was only supporting her because of her injured ankle.
Meanwhile, Palki picks up the bouquet with her bare hands and apologizes to Rajveer for dropping it. Rajveer says she didn’t do anything wrong. Sandy also apologizes while Palki smiles softly.
But Shaurya becomes visibly restless. The chemical he put on the stems should have reacted—and yet nothing is happening. He looks at Sandy, who is equally confused.
Suddenly, Palki dropped the bouquet and screamed in pain. Her hands turn red instantly. Shocked, Kavya, Shanaya, and Varun rush to her. She tells Rajveer her hands are burning intensely. Rajveer sees the redness and insists they must take her to the clinic. Shaurya immediately offers his car, and they all leave while Kavya anxiously watches.
On the road, Karan drives in a daze, thinking about the photos he saw and how he almost revealed everything to Preeta. He suddenly brakes hard, nearly hitting a car. People behind him honk angrily. Someone gets out, yelling at him to move. The auto drivers also complain. But Karan barely hears them. His mind is racing—he cannot calm down until he uncovers the truth. If Preeta didn’t tell him till now, she will keep hiding it. Rajveer will also try to protect the secret. But Karan decides there is one way to get the truth: A DNA test. No one will be able to deny the result, not Rajveer, not Preeta, not anyone.
At the mansion, Varun tells Kavya he can’t believe what happened to Palki. She agrees but remembers how Shaurya stopped her earlier. She calls him repeatedly, but his phone is unreachable. Kavya moves ahead after bumping into a waiter and stands before the bouquet again, worried.
At the clinic, Palki groans in pain, saying her hand is burning badly. Rajveer assures her they’ve reached. The nurse stops the crowd and says only one person can accompany her. Rajveer immediately goes inside with Palki.
Back home, Daljeet hints to Preeta to clean even further and asks if she doesn’t find anything strange about Karan. She says she feels as if Karan already knows her very well.
Preeta brushes it off, smiling, and says, 'Sometimes we meet people we naturally feel connected to—just like she feels with Shaurya and Kavya.' Even though she knows nothing about their personal lives, she felt an immediate bond the first time she saw them.
Preeta tells Daljeet that the Sindoor has spread even more. Daljeet says it has become slightly lighter. Gurpreet also returns and asks Preeta about the Sindoor. Daljeet explains that Karan Luthra came and, after Preeta dropped the Thali, the Sindoor was applied. Preeta insists it was unintentional. Gurpreet says God does miracles and unites people whose Kumkum is tied together. She compliments Preeta, saying the Sindoor looks beautiful, but Preeta insists she wants to remove it. Gurpreet says some relationships cannot be wiped off. Feeling embarrassed, Preeta goes back into the room. Daljeet tells Gurpreet she sometimes feels Karan has a past-life connection with Preeta. Gurpreet wonders how to tell her the connection is from this life, but she remains quiet.
Shaurya stands outside the room, recalling the moment when Palki’s hand burned after touching the bouquet. He notices Shanaya, who thanks him for driving so fast. Shaurya proudly agrees and tells her to praise him to Palki. He gets a call from Kavya and leaves. Sandy questions his unnecessary bragging, but Shaurya just smiles.
Mohit arrives at the party but doesn’t find anyone. He calls Varun, who explains that Palki had a burning sensation and was taken to the hospital. Mohit asks where Shaurya was. Varun wonders why he is asking and mentions that even Kavya was acting strange. Mohit asks where Kavya is and walks towards the house.
Shaurya asks why Kavya is video-calling him. She sits near the bouquet and says she will pick the flowers herself. Shaurya panics and tells her not to. But Kavya picks them up without feeling anything. Shaurya acts offended, saying she thinks he is behind this. He blames Rajveer instead.
Kavya apologizes. Sandy asks why Kavya didn’t feel the burning sensation. Shaurya explains the chemical only works for 30 minutes, and the time has passed. He is relieved.
At the hospital, Rajveer asks the doctor about Palki. The doctor explains they cleaned her hand and the reaction was due to a chemical. Palki thinks the florist used something strong.
The doctor says they arrived on time—10 minutes later, her hand would have needed bandaging. Rajveer gets worried. They leave the room, where Shanaya asks Palki how she is. Shaurya mocks Rajveer, saying he should have bought flowers from a big shop. Palki defends Rajveer, but Shaurya continues taunting. Rajveer finally thanks Shaurya for driving fast, which helped them arrive on time. Shaurya is irritated that his plan failed.
Back at the mansion, Kavya and Varun ask Palki about her condition. Mohit arrives, and Palki and Shanaya look around for him.
Two boys in masks walk toward Shaurya, telling him to identify them. Shaurya is confused. Rajveer explains it is a masquerade-themed Valentine’s party, and he should enjoy.
Karan enters the mansion and keeps looking at Rajveer. Sandy greets him. Karan praises Kavya, Shanaya, and Palki, hugging all of them.
Rajveer thinks of his mother’s pain whenever he sees Karan and wonders if he should take Panday’s help to bring him down.
Karan hugs Shaurya, then opens his arms for Rajveer, who hesitantly hugs him. This angers Shaurya. While hugging Rajveer, Karan discreetly rubs his hair.
Suddenly, Karan feels dizzy. Everyone gets worried, but he says he’s fine and leaves after wishing them Happy Valentine’s Day. Outside, he opens his hand and checks the hair he collected from Rajveer, determined to get the truth. Driving, Karan calls Dr. Manish and tells him he needs a DNA test. Manish is shocked. Karan explains he believes Rajveer is his lost son, Rudra, and promises to explain everything when he reaches the hospital.
At the party, Shaurya is drinking. Shanaya stops him, saying she wants him to stay within limits. Shaurya says she cares but misunderstands, then points out how easily she gets happy when he listens to her—unlike Palki, who never seems happy with him. Shanaya gets uneasy hearing her sister’s name again.
Shaurya complains that Rajveer always brings cheap gifts for Palki, yet she still likes them. Shanaya, sitting beside him, says even her mother doesn’t prefer Rajveer for Palki, but matters of the heart can’t be controlled. She adds that Palki truly likes Rajveer, and they even look perfect together, “made for each other.” Hearing this, Shaurya gets angry and walks away. Shanaya is confused by his sudden mood change.
Rajveer brings a glass of water for Palki, who sits at a table. When she tries to take it, he gently refuses, moves her hair aside, and feeds her himself. Palki softly thanks him.
Mohit arrives, asking if Palki is okay after the hand incident. She says she’s fine, but Rajveer notices Mohit looks tense. Palki agrees—whenever Mohit makes such a face, he’s hiding something. Finally, Mohit reveals that Kavya suspects Shaurya was behind what happened to Palki. But Rajveer refuses to believe it and blames himself for buying flowers from a roadside stall. Palki comforts him, saying she doesn’t want him to feel guilty when she’s fine. They both start blushing when Mohit teases them and walks away.
Preeta opens the wardrobe and finds her clothes completely messy. She wonders if Karan came into the room while she was gone. Gurpreet arrives and assures her that no one comes in. She asks Preeta what she wants to eat. Preeta offers to cook with her, and they leave together.
Shaurya walks through the hall. Sandy stops him, saying he shouldn’t drink so much. He reminds Shaurya that he wanted to impress Palki, but drinking won’t help since she doesn’t like it.
This irritates Shaurya, who snaps back. Sandy explains that some girls dislike heavy drinkers, but others don’t care.
Shaurya starts venting—Rajveer has average looks, no money, yet Palki still likes him and even works with him. If she had chosen Shaurya, he would have treated her like a princess. But she didn’t even blame Rajveer for the flower incident.
Sandy says girls are smart they know when something isn’t a boyfriend’s fault. Shaurya wonders if Palki and Rajveer will ever break up. Sandy says breakups usually happen when a girl finds her boyfriend cheating.
This sparks a plan. Shaurya smiles and asks if they just need to make Palki think Rajveer is with another girl. Sandy nods. They both decide the girl will be Minka.
Outside the mansion, Minka excitedly hugs Shaurya. She asks about the boy she needs to “make the video” with. Shaurya shows Rajveer’s photo and explains that she must create a scene where it looks like something inappropriate is happening. Minka agrees. Shaurya warns her to be careful this is very important. They head back inside.
The dance performances begin. Minka dances onstage while everyone enjoys themselves. Soon, members of the Luthra family also join Rajveer, Palki, and Shanaya.
When Minka approaches Rajveer to dance with him, he becomes uncomfortable. She then spills juice on herself on purpose and asks him to help her reach a room. He tries calling Palki, but she is busy dancing, so he goes with Minka.
A few minutes later, Palki stops dancing and starts looking for Rajveer, worried when she can’t find him.
At the hospital, Karan impatiently waits for Dr. Manish. He finally calls him. Dr. Manish arrives, and Karan hands over the hair sample from Rajveer. The doctor tells him he also needs Karan’s saliva sample for the DNA test.
Rajveer brings Minka to the room. She hugs him, pretending she can’t walk because of the spilled juice. He tells her she’s drunk and asks her to stand aside so he can open the door. As soon as he turns around, Minka secretly switches on her phone camera to start recording.
Inside, she falls to the floor. Rajveer tries to help her sit and tells her she must stop drinking if she can’t handle it. She tries to make him clean her dress, but he refuses. She keeps hugging him, comparing him to Ranbir Kapoor. Rajveer, uncomfortable, keeps pushing her away and repeatedly asks for her family’s contact number.
Overwhelmed, Minka suddenly runs out of the room. Rajveer gets frustrated, wondering why girls drink beyond their limits.
Precap:
Palki tells Rajveer, “I feel good whenever you’re around me… will you stay around me forever?” Rajveer says yes. Later, Rajveer falls unconscious due to smoke, and Shaurya walks into the room.
