At home, Anupama sits alone, missing Rahi terribly. She gazes at Anuj’s photograph and assures herself that she isn’t crying, despite the ache in her heart now that Rahi is living at her in-laws’ house. Just then, Rahi calls, bringing a flicker of warmth to Anupama’s day, but Vasundhara promptly interrupts the conversation. She instructs Rahi to get dressed for the arriving guests and sternly warns Anupama not to keep calling, insisting that Rahi needs space to adjust to the Kothari household. Anupama nods, swallowing her longing, and promises to respect the distance, though her heart aches with each missed opportunity to speak with her daughter.
Back at the Kothari residence, Prem welcomes Rahi into his room. He attempts to draw closer, but Rahi insists on getting ready first, maintaining a delicate balance between respect and playfulness. Later, as Anupama waits anxiously for Rahi’s call, she receives an unexpected phone call from the central jail. Her resolve hardens, and she decides to visit the next day. Nostalgia and care fill her heart as she prepares a tiffin for Rahi, anticipating her daughter might be hungry.
Rahi later finds the tiffin and reaches for her phone to call Anupama, only for Prem to intercept her. With a teasing grin, he suggests she continue behaving like his girlfriend rather than his wife, prompting a playful exchange between them. Rahi insists that Prem cook for her, and he agrees with mock reluctance, their laughter softening the tension in the room. Unbeknownst to them, Vasundhara secretly listens to their conversation, her expression unreadable but calculating.
Later, Prem surprises Rahi with a gift—a beautiful sari and a picture frame of Anupama. While Rahi smiles at the gesture, Vasundhara’s eyes narrow in displeasure, clearly offended by the sentimental choice. Meanwhile, back at her own home, Leela advises Anupama to rest, but Anupama shares news of a catering opportunity at the central jail, which worries Leela. With a gentle reassurance, Anupama comforts her while also expressing concern for Gautam’s wellbeing.
At the Kothari house, tensions rise as Baa confronts Rahi, accusing Anupama of disrespecting Gautam and insisting that Rahi show proper respect to him. Rahi, however, refuses to take sides against her mother, standing firm in her loyalty. Baa warns her to handle her marriage carefully, claiming that Anupama had tried to interfere with the wedding. Prem, overhearing the conversation, is left stunned, his mind racing with questions about loyalty, respect, and family dynamics.
The episode ends on a reflective and tense note. Anupama contemplates that since Lord Krishna was born in a jail, there can be no place truly inauspicious, a small comfort in her challenging situation. Meanwhile, Raghav’s temper flares unexpectedly, leaving Anupama shocked and anxious about what will come next.
UPCOMING
The next episode promises heightened tension as Raghav’s anger escalates, and Anupama braces herself for the consequences.
