An emotional storm brews as Jhanak tearfully admits her undying love for Rishi, leaving Aayush and Mishti stunned. Mishti manipulates the situation, claiming Jhanak is intoxicated, while Aayush shows concern and offers to take her to rest. Jhanak, feeling dizzy and nostalgic for her mother, leans on Aayush for help.
Seizing the opportunity, Mishti and her friends lock them both inside the medical room and mock them by playing a romantic song outside. Aayush’s frustration grows as he realizes they have fallen into Mishti’s cruel prank.
Elsewhere, tensions rise in Rishi’s family. Aditi, Tanushri, and Neelu question Rishi’s continued involvement with Jhanak. Rishi defends his actions, saying he merely respected Sanjhbati’s wish to meet Jhanak. When accused of reviving old feelings, Rishi asserts his independence, refusing to justify his choices.
The next day, Mishti reveals shocking details to the family — Jhanak’s alleged drunken state and her confession of love for Rishi. Everyone is taken aback, fearing the damage to their family’s image. Rishi is left torn between anger and confusion as he recalls confessing his love to Jhanak the previous day.
In college, Priyanshi escalates the situation by presenting a video of Jhanak and Aayush trapped together to the principal, hinting that a major controversy is about to unfold.
