The episode begins with Aarti confronting Anjali, declaring she will never return to her. She claims the house belongs to Raghav and her father, Aman, and that everyone there loves her. Abhay assures Aarti they will give her the greatest gift by arranging her marriage with Ved.
Anjali interrupts, reminding Abhay that Ved is already married, and what he suggests is both illegal and immoral. Aarti taunts Anjali, asking if she plans to take her to court and have her punished.
Sadhika joins in, mocking Anjali by saying Aarti will perform Karwa Chauth for Ved this year. Anjali objects, explaining that an unmarried woman cannot observe the ritual. Sadhika counters, accusing Anjali of doing the same for Aman before marriage. Anjali insists her situation was different, but Raghav declares that Aarti will perform the ritual, warning Kali to stay away.
Anjali challenges him to settle the matter in court. Raghav replies that they can face each other there, but Aarti will still celebrate Karwa Chauth tomorrow.
Later, Kali takes the phone, asserting her right as Ved’s wife to perform the ritual. Sadhika angrily warns her not to step into their house and cuts the call.
Nivedita urges the family to stop provoking Aarti, saying she’s too young to understand. But Sadhika silences her, determined that Aarti will complete the ritual.
That night, Ved finds Aarti crying. She tells him her mother misunderstands her. Ved assures her that love conquers all and comforts her with a hug.
Meanwhile, Anjali advises Kali to attend the Rajput ceremony without fear. She promises to stay at the police station, ready to protect her if anything goes wrong.
The next morning, all the Rajput women celebrate Karwa Chauth. Aarti begins her ritual, about to see Ved’s face through the sieve, when Kali arrives and stops her.
Kali declares that she, as Ved’s wife, has the only right to perform the ritual. Aarti refuses to back down, insisting she too fasted for him. The argument escalates until Ved scolds Kali for creating chaos.
Sadhika accuses Anjali of sending Kali to ruin Aarti’s celebration, but Nivedita defends her. Kali admits she came on Anjali’s instructions, enraging the family. She pleads with Anjali over the phone, saying Aarti is performing a ritual for a man who isn’t her husband.
Anjali demands to speak to Aarti and firmly tells her to let Kali finish the ceremony, reminding her that only a legal wife has that right. Aarti protests, claiming her love for Ved is pure. Anjali insists that love cannot replace marriage. Aarti conveys this to Ved, who tries to tell Anjali his marriage with Aarti isn’t real—but Anjali ends the call, refusing to believe him.
