The episode unfolds with Anupama offering prayers for Mahi’s mehendi, while staying emotionally connected to Bharti and Preet abroad. Anupama advises Bharti to stay focused on her international competition and expresses how much she misses her students.
Meanwhile, Mahi prepares excitedly for the ceremony. Gautam showers her with praise, while Rahi silently observes their growing closeness. When Gautam’s gift is refused by Rahi, he twists the moment to suggest that Rahi and Prem are envious of the couple’s success. Internally, he continues to harbor resentment toward Rahi, Prem, Ansh, and Anupama.
Pari, though eager for the wedding, confides in Anupama that she hopes it will stop. Anupama encourages patience. Later, during business talks, Gautam notices Prem’s reaction to a fraud case discussion, raising his suspicions.
During the mehendi ceremony, Vasundhara welcomes everyone but also takes the opportunity to taunt the Shahs. Leela counters her remarks assertively. Mahi emotionally urges Rahi and Anupama to trust Gautam, convinced that he has changed. Gautam publicly asks Anupama to apply his name in mehendi on Mahi’s hand, placing her in a difficult position.
The event takes a sharp turn when Prarthana injures her hand. Gautam uses the moment to provoke Ansh by suggesting the unborn child belongs to him. Ansh reacts strongly, and Anupama stands by him, declaring Gautam’s unchanged nature. Parag defends Gautam, deepening the family divide.
The situation becomes more painful when Mahi sides with Gautam, accusing Anupama and Ansh of spoiling her celebration. Her words leave Anupama, Rahi, Prarthana, and Ansh deeply hurt.
