The episode begins with Krishna asking Khushi to wait for him in a room, promising to return soon. However, as time passes, Khushi realizes he isn’t coming back. Disappointed and anxious, she finally leaves and heads home.
At home, Khushi tells her father Baldev everything. He listens patiently and comforts her, advising her not to worry and assuring that everything will eventually work out.
Soon, Sweetie complains of hunger, and Mamta lovingly serves her a full meal. But when it’s Khushi’s turn, she is given only a few dry rotis. Hurt by the partiality, Khushi and Baldev sit in silence as Mamta walks away with Sweetie.
Seeing his daughter’s pain, Baldev feels helpless. Khushi, however, remains determined and promises her father that one day she will earn her place and the respect she deserves.
Meanwhile, Nandita suddenly faints in another household. When she regains consciousness, Ardhana realizes she’s been missing her elder daughter Dimpy. This revelation angers Queenie and Vikram, who vow to stop Dimpy from returning home.
Nandita feels torn between her love for Dimpy and the bitterness of her other children. Elsewhere, Dimpy’s husband, consumed by resentment, plots revenge against Baldev, whom he blames for his father’s death.
Later, Khushi visits the Chairman’s mansion to return a saree, requesting ₹1 lakh in compensation to buy a new one. Her plea is mocked, and she’s thrown out. Humiliated, she wanders the streets in tears.
Suddenly, Khushi spots a woman stepping into traffic and rushes to save her just in time. She helps the frightened woman sit down and offers her food and water.
As Khushi comforts the woman, she unexpectedly sees Krishna nearby. Anger surges within her. Marching up to him, Khushi confronts him fiercely and demands the ₹1 lakh he owes her.
The episode ends on a powerful note, with Khushi’s emotions—pain, courage, and defiance—burning brighter than ever.
