The episode opens with Bhajan’s men attacking Anjali, leaving her surrounded and defenseless. Pradeep rushes to inform Aarti, who, along with Ved, races to the spot. Together, they fight off the attackers and manage to rescue Anjali. During the scuffle, a goon attempts to stab Aarti, but Anjali intervenes, grabbing the knife with her bare hand. Despite her injury, she overpowers the attacker, showcasing remarkable courage.
As Ved tends to Aarti, Anjali reveals her bleeding hand and says tearfully that the blood belongs to a mother — proving she is not an orphan. Emotionally shaken, Aarti realizes Anjali’s deep love and confesses to Ved that she has misunderstood her mother all along.
Meanwhile, at home, Yuvraj lashes out at Mehek over an unironed shirt. When Mehek steps away after receiving a call from Kavya, the latter deliberately burns Yuvraj’s shirt. On his return, Yuvraj blames Mehek and raises his hand, only to have her stop him. Their confrontation exposes past wounds — Yuvraj claims Mehek betrayed him and hints at secrets involving Padma’s kidnapping and her brother Aman’s fate.
Later, a distressed Mehek calls Anjali and reveals that Yuvraj confessed to abducting Padma and may have been involved in Aman’s death. Before she can continue, Yuvraj interrupts, silencing her and cutting the call.
Elsewhere, Ved prepares to leave for Delhi when the Rajvanshi family arrives after securing bail. Uday surprises Ved by supporting his upcoming marriage to Anjali’s daughter. Meanwhile, Aarti insists that the attack was meant for Anjali, not her, and pleads with Raghav to protect her mother. Despite others doubting Anjali’s intentions, Aarti stands firm — ready to defend the woman she once misunderstood.
