The episode opens with Jhanak expressing her wish to open a clinic in Simulboni after becoming a doctor. Sakhi curiously asks whether Rishi has arrived. Jhanak requests her to call him, but Sakhi reveals that everyone in the village already knows about Rishi’s second marriage. Shocked, she questions how Rishi could marry Aditi.
Sakhi advises Jhanak that she should have stayed in Kolkata and fought for her rights. Calmly, Jhanak replies that she has no rights left. She admits that forcing Rishi into marriage was wrong and believes he did the right thing by choosing Aditi.
Mangal wonders why Rishi once treated Jhanak kindly. Jhanak reveals she had asked him to pretend and that she never accepted him as her husband. Hearing this, Parashar is stunned. Jhanak insists that she only wants to focus on her studies and doesn’t want Rishi discussed anymore.
Parashar expresses his faith in her decisions, while Jhanak emotionally says she missed him. When Dhamu offers to bring Rishi back, Jhanak refuses, declaring that no one should stay in a loveless marriage. She adds that even though Rishi filled her forehead with vermilion, a forced marriage holds no meaning—neither in love nor in law.
Meanwhile, Aditi enters Rishi’s house with Arshi and Rishi. Abhimanyu thanks Arshi for bringing Aditi and wishes Aniruddh had joined them. Arshi explains that Aditi came only after Rishi’s apology. Aditi warns Rishi that this is his last chance. Rishi says he hopes Aditi will now be happy since Jhanak has left.
Aditi notices Rishi’s gloomy expression and questions him. Rishi defends himself, asking her to stop doubting him. Neelu reminds him not to let ego ruin his marriage. Aditi tells him that he should never have given Jhanak such importance.
Elsewhere, Dadabhai proudly mentions Jhanak’s scholarship. When Arshi asks if Jhanak will return to Kolkata, Rishi says no one can stop her from doing so, but he himself has moved on. Aditi insists that Jhanak must stay away from them, warning Rishi to control his emotions.
At home, tensions rise when Putul says Jhanak still has rights. Indumati scolds her, but Dadabhai defends Putul’s freedom to speak. Rishi declares he has ended all ties with Jhanak, and Aditi must not worry. Neelu advises Rishi to handle things carefully—it’s his final chance.
Back in Simulboni, Parashar wonders why Rishi never accepted Jhanak. She answers softly that not everyone is meant to love or accept her. Parashar believes Rishi will regret his choices someday. Jhanak, however, says she wants to move forward and work for her village’s betterment.
Finally, Parashar advises Jhanak and everyone to forget Rishi completely. Jhanak agrees and firmly states she never wants to see Rishi again. The episode ends with her silent determination to build a new life—strong, independent, and free from the past.
