Anupama gently adds, “These aren’t complaints, just feelings. Sharing them doesn’t lessen the joy. Keeping your pain in your heart while still participating in happiness—that itself is a big thing.” Encouraged, Rahi reassures Bhavesh that he will find another job, and Anupama assures him that talent will always be recognized.
Leela suggests calling Bhavesh’s wife, but he refuses, fearing that her presence will only spark an argument. Leela remarks that perhaps Bhavesh was happier before remarrying and chides him for ignoring her earlier advice. Anupama consoles him, encouraging patience and advising him to try and make his wife understand, emphasizing that she also has rights as a life partner.
As the haldi ceremony begins, Hasmuk urges everyone to enjoy the moment. The Shah family celebrates Prarthana and Ansh’s haldi with laughter and enthusiasm. Prem jokes that everyone will soon be drenched in haldi.
Amid the festivities, Mahi becomes anxious and runs away, prompting Anupama to remember Anuj and worry about her. Mahi, feeling lonely in her haldi outfit, reflects on her isolation and envies others like Rahi, Pari, and Anil, who all have companions to celebrate with.
Meanwhile, Anupama spots Vasundhara and Khyati entering unexpectedly. Prarthana assumes they are attending the haldi, but Vasundhara reveals her true intention: she wants Prarthana to sign papers that would hand over the baby to her after delivery. Anupama immediately questions her, asking how she could support Gautam in such a plan. Vasundhara asserts it is a family matter, but Anupama reminds her that Prarthana is now their daughter-in-law and warns that she will never allow anyone to separate her from her child.
Vasundhara taunts Anupama, hinting at the Kotharis’ wealth and power, but Anupama responds firmly, stating, “The Kotharis are wealthy, but not so rich, Mrs. Vasundhara, that you can bargain with me about my family.” The tension escalates as Vasundhara demands Anupama lower her voice. With unflinching resolve, Anupama replies, “Lower my voice? As long as I am respecting our relationship, leave this place quietly.” When Vasundhara threatens, “Otherwise what?” Anupama delivers a chilling warning: “Otherwise, within me still lives that old Anupama, whose anger once changed the course of even a lion.”
The episode ends on this intense standoff, highlighting Anupama’s unwavering strength and protective instincts.
Precap: Khyati scolds Mahi for getting decked up for the ceremony. Anupama tries to support her, but Khyati delivers a harsh remark, saying that a widow cannot become a bride.
