The episode begins with Ved urging Aarti to consider marriage despite Padma’s kidnapping. Aarti insists on Anjali’s blessings, calling her mother, and Ved agrees that Anjali is like a mother to him too. Ved emphasizes that delaying the marriage may prevent it from happening, while Aarti expresses her love for him and urges him to find Padma at any cost. The scene shows Padma being forcibly taken by traffickers along with other girls, heightening the urgency.
Meanwhile, Anjali is shocked to learn that the call Padma made to Mehek came from Hina Rajvanshi’s phone. Pankaj suggests contacting Ved, but Anjali refuses, citing the legal constraints that prevent her from acting freely. She insists she wants to lose the case for Aarti’s happiness, but the law limits her options. Kali overhears their conversation, leading to a confrontation with Uday Rajvanshi about Hina’s fate. Uday reveals that Hina is alive but has run away with another man, a painful memory for Ved, leaving Kali surprised.
Back at Anjali’s home, Raghav and Abhay arrive with wedding cards, challenging Anjali to find Padma before Ved and Aarti’s wedding. Raghav taunts her, asserting that she cannot prevent the marriage and would fail publicly if she tries. Determined, Anjali vows to find Padma and expose Yuvraj as Aman’s murderer, asserting she will protect her daughter’s honor and Aarti’s dream, leaving Raghav unsettled.
