Meanwhile, Paritosh finds himself facing a moral dilemma. A reporter approaches him with an offer to leak sensitive information about Anupama and Rahi in exchange for money. Initially conflicted, Paritosh hesitates, but his greed takes over when another reporter offers him an even higher amount. Tempted by the promise of easy money, Paritosh begins to imagine a better lifestyle, pushing his conscience aside as he seriously considers betraying his own family.
Back at the Shah house, the Dance Ranis are busy cooking an elaborate Maharashtrian meal. Their enthusiasm and teamwork bring liveliness to the house. Sarita praises Hasmuk, which immediately sparks jealousy in Leela. As food is served, Sarita offers Hasmuk eggplant curry. Leela quickly objects, insisting that Hasmuk does not like it. However, Hasmuk tastes the dish anyway and appreciates the effort, subtly undermining Leela’s authority. Paritosh compliments the food, making the Dance Ranis feel appreciated.
Hasmuk then jokingly suggests that Leela learn Maharashtrian cooking from the Dance Ranis, which clearly irritates her further. Paritosh adds that the house feels lively again ever since Anupama returned, deepening Leela’s insecurity. Sensing Leela’s discomfort, Anupama intervenes and praises Leela’s cooking, emphasizing that elders deserve respect and acknowledgment for their lifelong efforts. Though Leela does not respond openly, her expressions reveal inner conflict.
In another development, Prarthana faces harsh accusations at work, where colleagues suggest she is enjoying personal time with Ansh instead of focusing on her job. Unable to tolerate this humiliation, Ansh openly declares his intention to marry Prarthana, shocking everyone present. Prarthana defends herself, accusing Gautam of spreading lies to tarnish her reputation. Leela, overhearing the discussion, questions them sharply about their marriage plans. Kinjal tries to defuse the situation by asking Ansh to stop, but Ansh and Prarthana instinctively turn to Anupama, seeking her support.
Elsewhere, Rahi informs Parag that the Dance Ranis have already booked all the desired performance slots. Pari reveals that Anupama secured the bookings first. Parag offers to arrange a bigger rehearsal space for Rahi, but she dismisses the idea, stating that practicing at the actual venue is essential. Mahi accuses Anupama of deliberately creating obstacles for them, echoing Khyati’s earlier allegations.
The situation escalates when Leela confronts Ansh for hiding his marriage intentions. She firmly declares that Prarthana must either leave the house or return to her parental home. Feeling cornered, Prarthana states that she will leave but will not go back to her family. Ansh immediately takes a stand, declaring that Prarthana is not going anywhere.
At this critical moment, Anupama steps in and calmly addresses Leela’s fears. She acknowledges Leela’s worries about society and the Kotharis, but urges her to think about Ansh’s happiness above everything else. Anupama firmly yet gently states that Ansh’s peace and future lie with Prarthana, and denying that truth will only cause lifelong regret.
Precap: Leela announces her decision to proceed with Ansh and Prarthana’s wedding and plans to visit the Kotharis to discuss the alliance. She asks Anupama to accompany her. Anupama feels anxious, fearing that the Kotharis may blame her for the unfolding chaos and label her a bad omen once again.
