Kaju and Badam ask Phool to join them on the dance floor, but she refuses. Putul intervenes and tells them not to pressure Phool. Left alone, Phool reflects that she once believed she would happily dance at Rishi’s wedding, yet now memories of her own marriage to him haunt her. She struggles to understand why these emotions are resurfacing when she had convinced herself that their marriage was fake. Fighting back tears, she says Rishi would scold her if she danced. She breaks down crying. Kaju and Badam decide to give her space and leave.
They inform Rishi that Phool is crying and refusing to dance. Rishi wonders if Phool is remembering their marriage. He reassures himself that he loves Aditi and plans to tell her the truth later, believing she will understand everything.
In the village, Bua warns Parashar that he will never find peace if he stays with Nutan. Kanka takes Bua away from there. Sakhi suggests that Parashar bring Jhanak to the village for a few days if possible. Parashar agrees and leaves with Nutan.
Meanwhile, Neelu arrives at Aditi’s house with Rishi’s family, carrying the haldi. Aniruddh welcomes them warmly. Arshi mentions that she heard Neelu’s husband is a minister’s advisor and expresses her happiness. Neelu’s husband says he finally got leave and does not want to discuss work, making everyone laugh. Kaju and Badam carry the gifts inside. Neelu asks about Aditi, and Aniruddh replies that she is chatting with her friends. Anjana says she feels happy knowing Rishi will become Aditi’s husband. Arshi instructs Rumi to place the gifts brought by Rishi’s family in the showcase.
Payal modestly says they brought only simple gifts. Arshi responds that it is obvious. Neelu offers the haldi bowl to Arshi, but Arshi refuses, asking Rumi to take it instead. She explains that she is wearing a designer saree and does not want to spoil it. Anjana invites Rishi’s family to eat, but Payal says they need to return home soon to get ready. Anjana insists they at least have sweets. Arshi then asks them to meet Aditi first.
Inside, Aditi’s friends tease her playfully and question why she cried the previous day. Aditi brushes it off, saying it was an unimportant call. Rishi’s family joins them, and Aditi hugs Payal and Neelu affectionately. Rumi announces that it is time to begin the haldi ceremony. One by one, everyone applies haldi to Aditi, followed by cheerful dancing.
Later, Aditi gets ready as a bride. The makeup artist instructs her friends not to disturb her. Aditi notices Rishi’s call and answers it, telling him she is getting ready. Rishi complains that she has no time for him. When Aditi asks what happened, Rishi says he has to wear a dhoti for the wedding. Aditi lightly asks what she can do about it, mentioning she herself is wearing a saree, and disconnects the call.
As Rishi turns around, he sees Phool standing nearby. He accuses her of eavesdropping on his conversation with Aditi. Phool denies it and breaks down in tears. Rishi coldly tells her that her tears do not affect him and that she should stop crying all the time.
Precap: Aditi comes across wedding photographs of Rishi and Phool. Rishi and Aniruddh both ask Aditi to open the door. Rishi panics, wondering whether Aditi has discovered the truth.
