The episode unfolds with Rajkumar preparing for his court hearing, supported unexpectedly by the same coworkers who filed a complaint against him. As he gets ready, tension erupts at home when Nandita publicly insults him. The humiliation angers Khushi, who firmly demands an apology. Nandita resists, but Khushi threatens to destroy her iron box—forcing her to apologize before Rajkumar leaves.
The emotional fallout leaves Rajkumar deeply moved by Khushi’s loyalty. He regrets being unable to shield her from Nandita’s harshness. Khushi comforts him, saying the lessons he has taught her give her the resilience she needs. Their heartfelt moment reinforces their strong father-daughter bond.
Meanwhile, Krishna, still upset over his public humiliation by Khushi, seeks revenge but first visits his mother at her care home. Her deteriorating mental state and lack of proper care upset him, pushing him to confront the staff. He realizes that improving her treatment will require more money than he currently has.
In another track, Baldev and Kuldeep revisit their past mistakes. Years ago, when their elder daughter eloped with a driver, Kuldeep cut ties with her in anger. Although she recently became a mother, he remained distant due to his wounded pride. Now, guilt compels him to search for her, fearing she may be deprived of her rightful share in the family.
At Khushi’s home, her hardships persist. Sweety seizes her earnings, and Mamta sides with her own daughter, pressuring Khushi to give up her money. Despite watching Khushi struggle daily to support the household, Mamta shows no empathy. Rajkumar witnesses Khushi’s pain silently, heartbroken that his kind and dedicated daughter continues to be mistreated.
