Mahi breaks down, saying no one cares about her happiness. She feels she finally found joy after a long time, but the Shahs never allow her to stay happy. She claims the Shahs are her enemies, despite always treating them like family.
Anupama asks Mahi to stop the constant emotional drama. Leela says Mahi keeps crying, which is why people hesitate to support her. Mahi loses control. Gautam consoles her sweetly, pretending to be understanding. He apologizes to Ansh and says no one supports their marriage, but they can act like they do.
Anupama responds that pretending is something even Gautam is doing. Meanwhile, Vasundhara sends Prarthana away to her room. Ansh tells Anupama that Gautam is manipulating everyone. Anupama admits she knows and asks Ansh to return home, warning him that work should not come before family.
Ansh refuses, as his job depends on staying there. Anupama says Gautam is destroying Mahi’s life, and they must expose him before he ruins Rahi’s future too. Later, Ansh and Prarthana argue when Ansh doubts her loyalty.
Elsewhere, Anupama supports Ishani through her emotional trauma and restarts Anu Ki Rasoi, feeling hopeful again. Meanwhile, cracks continue to form in Mahi and Gautam’s relationship behind the celebrations.
