Raghav and his party drop off an invitation and leave; once outside, Sadhika thinks to herself that Aarti will soon become Anjali’s fiercest enemy and departs. Kali asks Anjali about her next move; Anjali tells her not to worry. Pankaj calls with news: the driver’s name is Ravi, but his whereabouts are unknown — he was hospitalized after the accident.
Anjali insists they find Ravi before the next court date, lamenting that the case has cost her everything — Aman is dead and Aarti has distanced herself. Pankaj urges her to fight back with fire, not tears.
Ved comforts a tearful Aarti; she confesses her love but fears Anjali is going to court against him. Gaurav and Nivedita arrive; Gaurav claims the Rajput family is arranging Aarti and Ved’s marriage only to protect Mehek and Yuvraj and urges Aarti to return to Anjali. Ved vows to marry Aarti regardless. Mehek rebukes Gaurav, reminding him Anjali filed the case against Yuvraj, whom Gaurav calls a criminal.
Nivedita calls Ved to dinner; Sadhika reassures him the engagement and wedding are set. Later Kali tells Ved she will observe Karwa Chauth and wants to break her fast when she sees him. Ved dismisses the fast, calling his marriage to Kali fake and saying his true marriage will be to Aarti.
Anjali answers the phone, warning Ved to honor Kali’s fast. Sadhika overhears, summons the family, accuses Anjali of threatening Ved, and dares Kali to join the Rajput women observing Karwa Chauth — even warning Kali that coming would be deadly. Raghav joins the confrontation.
