Katha encourages Eshwar and Rukhmani to begin the puja, and they complete the rituals together. Meanwhile, Mohan pleads with the protesting factory workers to call off their strike, reminding them of Eshwar’s support over the years, but the workers refuse. Naina arrives, shocked to see Mohan struggling to calm the crowd. She begs him to return home, but he insists on staying and informs Eshwar about the situation.
Concerned for Mohan’s health, Naina attempts again to persuade him, but he refuses. The protest leader escalates tensions by threatening to burn down the factory. Eshwar arrives on the scene, and Rukhmani urges him to handle the situation calmly. Mohan explains that many of the protestors aren’t even factory employees and are being provoked. Eshwar tries reasoning with the workers, but their leader demands their conditions be met and threatens to shut the factory. During the confrontation, a stone hits Eshwar, injuring him.
Katha rushes forward, shocked to see Eshwar hurt. With Mohan’s help, she confronts the protestors, reminding them of how much Eshwar has aided them over the years, especially Prakash and Kesar. She warns that if the factory shuts down, those instigating the revolt won’t help them survive. Her words shame some of the workers, and she urges dialogue over violence. Eshwar is moved by her courage and praises Katha for her wisdom and composure.
Katha treats Eshwar’s wound with a homemade remedy and insists he rest at her home. Though initially reluctant, Eshwar agrees. Katha and Naina escort him home.
Elsewhere, Ambika reassures Vinith that Mr. Bansal will purchase Eshwar’s factory once it shuts down. She is confident Eshwar has no other options this time.
At Katha’s house, Eshwar opens up about his emotional pain. Katha lightens the atmosphere by preparing tea, and Eshwar praises her again, amazed that someone as thoughtful and kind as her exists in today’s world.
Precap: Eshwar approaches Mohan to request Katha’s hand for UV. Mohan warns him about Katha’s deep distrust of men, and Eshwar urges him to convince her. Meanwhile, UV secretly follows Eshwar, determined to uncover whom he is meeting.
