The episode begins with Baldev breaking down after witnessing the cruelty his daughter Khushi endures from her stepmother. Overcome with emotion, he weeps silently, but Khushi comforts him, assuring that she can handle the situation herself.
To ease her father’s sorrow, Khushi lovingly feeds him and recalls the promise she made to her late mother — to always take care of Baldev, who remains lost in grief and detached from life. True to her word, Khushi continues to protect and care for him with quiet strength.
Later, Khushi encounters Krishna at the market, a young man who harbors resentment toward her. Irritated by her confidence, Krishna mistakes her courage for arrogance. Khushi ignores his hostility, but Krishna’s ego pushes him toward vengeance.
Khushi, who earns a living washing clothes on the roadside, receives an order from a municipal chairperson to clean an expensive saree. While she works sincerely, Krishna secretly sabotages her efforts by damaging the saree out of spite.

When Khushi returns the ruined saree, the furious woman accuses her of cheating and demands one lakh in compensation. Devastated and helpless, Khushi struggles to understand how she will repay such a huge sum.
Later, she spots her younger sister Sweety talking to a boy while wearing revealing clothes. Alarmed, Khushi follows her to an apartment where Sweety and her friends are partying with two men.
The situation turns dangerous when the men attempt to misbehave with Sweety. Khushi storms in and fearlessly rescues her sister, thrashing the culprits and teaching them a harsh lesson.
Terrified, the men call Krishna for help, but he refuses to intervene, aware of Khushi’s strength and fierce determination.
