Today’s episode begins with Yashika threatening Aishwarya. She warns that she will count to five, and if Aishwarya does not come out, she will reveal the truth to Mannat and Dhairya. Yashika also says that if her own secret is exposed, she will not spare anyone else either. She confidently starts counting.
Before she reaches five, Aishwarya finally comes out of hiding. Yashika smirks as her plan works. She then unties her fake parents and allows them to leave. Vishakha asks Aishwarya to stop Yashika, but the situation is already getting out of control.
Yashika Suggests a Deal
Mallika warns Yashika not to act too smart because they also know the truth about her. Yashika calmly replies that she knows Mallika is aware of her secret. But she reminds them that she is not the one who faked her death to escape jail. She also says that they supported a criminal, while she never did.
Yashika then asks Aishwarya to listen carefully. She explains that they both have the same goal — to remove Mannat from the house. Since their destination is the same, fighting each other will not help anyone.
She suggests that they should join hands instead. Yashika also warns Aishwarya not to worry about Vikrant finding out the truth. At worst, Vikrant may break his relationship with her. But the real danger is that Aishwarya could go to jail for cheating the law.
Yashika says Aishwarya must decide whether she wants to cooperate with her or face the consequences. She also warns that Mannat is already planning to meet her, so the truth cannot remain hidden for long.
Aishwarya Accepts the Alliance
Mallika tries to stop Aishwarya from trusting Yashika. But Aishwarya says Yashika is right. Since their goal is the same, they should work together.
She says that sometimes the enemy of your enemy becomes your friend. Aishwarya agrees to join hands with Yashika to remove Mannat from their lives.
When Aishwarya asks about the plan, Yashika explains that Mannat will remain a threat as long as she stays in the Saluja house.
Mallika argues that Mannat still believes Aishwarya is Arzoo, so she should not trust Yashika. Yashika sarcastically mocks Mallika and says that even though she is Aishwarya’s daughter, she should at least have some intelligence.
Mallika gets angry and tells her to stay within limits. Yashika suggests that a DNA test could prove everything, but Aishwarya says Mannat is her own blood and she knows her well. Even if Mannat stays quiet for some time, she will keep trying to expose the truth.
Their Dangerous Plan
Vishakha says the upcoming Holi celebration is the perfect opportunity because everyone will be busy enjoying the party.
But Yashika says attacking Mannat directly will not work. Instead, they must break her emotionally. Aishwarya immediately understands and says the real target should be Dua.
Since Dua is Mannat’s biggest weakness, something terrible must happen to her. If Dua gets into danger, Mannat will be so scared that she will leave the house on her own.
Aishwarya agrees with the idea, and the two women finally join hands.
Vikrant Praises Dua
Later, Vikrant is surprised to see Yashika, Aishwarya, Mallika, and Vishakha together. Yashika casually explains that she wanted to go shopping for her engagement and was taking Arzoo’s help.
Vikrant then talks about the first day of the cooking competition. He says every child has a unique story and their background should also be considered.
He praises Dua and says she is brilliant, disciplined, and very passionate about cooking. According to him, she handled everything perfectly and clearly has natural talent.
Yashika, Aishwarya, Mallika, and Vishakha are unhappy hearing Vikrant praise Dua so much.
Mallika complains that Dua has no manners and reminds him about her fight with Yuvi. But Vikrant defends Dua and says she was not wrong.
Instead of blaming her, Yuvi should learn from her and become more focused and disciplined. Vikrant also says that a child’s upbringing plays an important role in shaping their character.
Mannat Hears Vikrant’s Words
Yashika quietly tells Aishwarya that Dua seems to have cast a spell on Vikrant. Aishwarya replies that the spell will end soon.
Vikrant continues saying that Dua cooks from the heart. Cooking is not just about filling someone’s stomach but about touching their heart.
Mannat overhears this conversation and becomes emotional. She wonders what Vikrant would feel if he ever found out that Dua is actually his daughter.
But at the same time, she remembers that Vikrant had once rejected Dua even before she was born.
Menu Discussion
Vikrant notices Mannat and goes to discuss the menu for the engagement and Holi celebration. Mannat confidently says that everything will be managed.
Yashika suggests adding a traditional sweet called Pinni. But surprisingly, both Vikrant and Mannat refuse at the same time.
Mannat remembers that Shruti loved Pinni, which means Vikrant still remembers her choice. Yashika notices this moment and suspects that Vikrant and Mannat still share a connection.
Vikrant tells Mannat to do her best for the event. Mannat replies that the real secret of cooking is something many chefs forget — food connects hearts and humanity.
Vikrant becomes surprised because he realizes Mannat heard everything he said earlier.
Yashika’s Kidnapping Plan
Later, Yashika tells Aishwarya about a kidnapping gang that is supposedly active in Mumbai. She admits the story is fake but says they can use it for their plan.
She reveals her shocking idea. During the Holi party, they will hide Dua inside a large drink cooler and secretly send her away from the house.
Once Dua disappears, Mannat will be completely broken and will leave the city out of fear.
When Aishwarya asks what will happen to Dua, Yashika coldly says that Dua will lose her life too.
Aishwarya remembers that years ago she also tried to get rid of Mannat in a similar way. She admits that she is just as cruel as Yashika. Yashika proudly says she is even worse, and they both laugh.
They also decide that if their plan fails, they will blame Yuvi because Vikrant would do anything to protect him.
To arrange the coolers, Aishwarya calls Kumar and asks him to order ice from a friend’s supplier for the Holi event. She asks him not to mention her name to Vikrant. Kumar agrees and takes the contact details.
Yashika smiles, confident that the final step of their plan has begun.
Mannat and Dhairya’s Plan
Meanwhile, Mannat is teaching Dua cooking. Dhairya arrives and says he has an idea, but when Dua asks about it, he changes the topic.
Later, Mannat and Dhairya speak privately. They decide that if Arzoo is actually Aishwarya, she must confess it herself.
Dhairya suggests mixing bhang in a drink during the Holi celebration. Once Aishwarya drinks it, she may reveal the truth. Mannat agrees with the plan.
Later, Mannat discusses the event menu with Vikrant. Yashika again raises the topic of the ice vendor and warns that no mistake should happen like the one during the Indore engagement incident.
Vikrant supports Mannat and says the earlier problem was not her fault.
Yashika’s Smart Move
Yashika cleverly asks Kumar about the ice supplier. Kumar tells Mannat that he will share the vendor’s contact details with her.
Yashika and Aishwarya exchange a secret smile. Aishwarya thinks that tomorrow will be Mannat’s last day in the house because once she loses Dua, she will never stay in Mumbai again.
Precap:
During the Holi celebration, everyone is happily playing with colors and enjoying the party. Suddenly, a lighting structure starts falling from above. Dua screams “Mannat!” leaving everyone shocked and worried.
Our Take:
This episode builds strong tension as Yashika and Aishwarya form a dangerous alliance against Mannat. Their cruel plan targeting innocent Dua raises the stakes of the story. At the same time, Vikrant’s growing admiration for Dua adds emotional depth and hints at a possible future revelation. With Holi celebrations approaching and both sides planning their moves, the upcoming episodes promise high drama, shocking twists, and emotional moments.
