The episode begins with Shalini guiding Piyu to touch Mallar’s feet and seek his blessings, telling her that she is like Lakshmi. Piyu questions why she is being compared to the goddess, and Shalini explains that a girl child is often likened to Lakshmi. She scolds Chintu for wearing an old shirt, instructing him to behave properly and not trouble anyone. Shalini lovingly plays with the kids.
Manish arrives and seeks permission to enter. Shalini anticipates Mallar’s arrival, but he quietly comes behind Manish. She greets him warmly, while Mallar sneers at the small house, subtly looking down on their background. Chintu asks for permission to touch their feet, following Shalini’s advice, and both children receive Manish’s blessings.
Shalini asks the kids to sit, and Manish gives them gifts. Chintu mentions that his father hasn’t returned with a cup and saucer, needed to serve tea. Mallar comments on the tea, mocking Shivprasad indirectly, saying that branded tea powder, not cups, determines taste. This humiliates Shivprasad, and Shalini feels bad for her husband. Shivprasad calmly replies, asserting that Mallar’s point is noted.
Manish then asks Shalini to prepare tea while Mallar continues criticizing their lifestyle. Shivprasad asks him to speak directly and stop dragging Shalini into everything. Manish tries to divert the conversation.
Manish invites Shalini to attend a wedding, but she refuses. He then asks Mallar to extend the invitation, and Mallar reluctantly invites her, but she again declines. Mallar finally invites Shivprasad and boasts about his luxurious family function, mentioning the expensive DJ, drinks, and food. He ridicules Shivprasad’s profession and income. Shivprasad delivers a sharp retort, saying that beggars beg outside temples, but the so-called rich beg inside, pointing out the difference. He also warns Mallar that his name has appeared in several scams, angering Manish.
