Anupama gets emotional standing outside Anu Ki Rasoi, gazing at the locked space that once gave her a new identity and purpose. Memories of her struggles, victories, and self discovery flood her mind. She recalls how this place helped her stand on her own feet and regain confidence after losing everything. Unaware of her inner turmoil, Paritosh notices her presence and grows visibly anxious. He panics at the thought that Anupama might find out that he sold all the utensils from Anu Ki Rasoi for money.

Trying to divert the conversation, Paritosh asks Anupama why she is there. She replies calmly that no one has visited the place for a long time and asks him to speak honestly. Cornered, Paritosh claims that the place is cursed, which is why customers stopped coming. His words deeply hurt Anupama. She firmly tells him that Anu Ki Rasoi can never be cursed because it was from this very place that she rebuilt her life and found her identity again. She adds that Paritosh will never understand the value of self respect and hard work. Hurt and disappointed, she asks him to leave. Alone again, Paritosh worries about what he will say if Anupama questions him about the missing utensils.
As Anupama walks away, Vasundhara’s harsh words echo in her mind. She remembers being told that despite two marriages, Anu Ki Rasoi, America Cooking Star, the dance academy, and the current dance competition, she is still struggling. Overwhelmed by these thoughts, Anupama breaks down. She wonders why, no matter how hard she works, life always pushes her back to the starting point. She misses Anuj deeply but gathers herself, reminding her heart that she cannot afford to lose courage again.
Meanwhile, preparations for the haldi ceremony continue at the Shah house. Jignesh notices the haldi paste and curiously discusses it with Manohar, joking that he has never seen rose pakodas before. His antics lighten the mood until Leela quickly saves the haldi from his playful interference. Elsewhere, Parag notices the haldi and is instantly reminded of Prarthana, his expression reflecting unspoken emotions. Vasundhara sharply tells him not to connect everything to Prarthana and asks him to eat. Khyati also urges Parag to move on, though his silence speaks volumes.
Back at the Shah house, Anupama reflects sadly that despite all her efforts, she cannot bring a natural bridal glow to Prarthana’s face. She believes that a bride truly shines only when her parents bless her wholeheartedly. She silently wishes that the Kotharis would attend the ceremony and accept Prarthana with love. Later, Anupama, the Shahs, and the guests come together for a dance performance. Though the atmosphere appears joyful, Leela notices Prarthana’s sadness and asks Anupama what happened after meeting the Kotharis. Anupama asks her to stay patient and expresses hope that Parag will attend the haldi.
Trying to uplift everyone’s mood, Paritosh announces that they should enjoy the function wholeheartedly. He reminds them how celebrations were disrupted during Pari and Raja’s wedding and how drama overshadowed Mahi and Aryan’s marriage. His words stir old memories for Mahi and Anupama, both of whom grow emotional. Suddenly, Rahi blames Anupama, accusing her of being the reason Parag, Khyati, and Vasundhara are not attending Prarthana’s wedding. Anupama absorbs the accusation silently, choosing not to escalate the situation.
Elsewhere, Gautam continues his manipulative game. He emotionally provokes Vasundhara, reminding her that it was he who saved the Kotharis’ sinking business. He claims that even today he lives not just as their son in law but as their son. He questions what he has received in return. He fumes that now Ansh is claiming rights over his child, and he cannot allow his baby to grow up in another family. He questions why his child should be raised in the Shah household and why the child should inherit Anupama’s values. He warns that if the child grows up there, the legacy of the Kotharis and Gandhis will shine in the Shah house instead. Finally, Gautam issues a veiled threat, declaring that if the Kotharis accept Ansh as their son in law, he will turn into their enemy. Vasundhara is left shaken and disturbed by his words.
Back at the Shah house, Anupama regains her strength and decides that regardless of who attends, Prarthana’s haldi will be celebrated with dignity and love.
Precap: Vasundhara and Khyati arrive at Prarthana’s haldi ceremony, shocking everyone. Vasundhara hands over some papers to Prarthana and demands that she sign them, insisting that she give away her baby after delivery. Prarthana and Anupama are left completely stunned.
