The episode begins with Ayushi encouraging Aradhya and Kabir to go out and enjoy themselves. Kabir, deeply in love with Aradhya, reveals that he plans to marry her before his court case hearing, an idea suggested by Malhar. Ayushi teasingly wonders who will stop the wedding, drawing a glare from Deepali.
Meanwhile, Shalini is teaching dance to Piyu, but Shivprasad interrupts, asking them to pause and have dinner. Shalini complains that Piyu keeps forgetting steps because she’s distracted by her phone. Despite Shalini’s frustration, Shivprasad asks her to be patient, as Piyu is still learning Hindi. Their playful interaction shows Shivprasad flirting with Shalini, much to Piyu’s curiosity. Shalini scolds both Chintu and Piyu for asking too many questions, but Shivprasad insists they are just learning.
Later, Manish calls Shalini, but Shivprasad answers first, introducing him as his “Kaka.” Manish informs them that Aradhya’s wedding is fixed for the 19th and personally invites them to attend. Aradhya, confused but excited, snatches the phone and decides to call him “Jeeju,” while Shivprasad reassures her that it’s normal to be a little confused after so many years.
Deepali insists that as the bride, Aradhya shouldn’t invite guests on her own, but Shalini initially refuses, suspecting trouble. Deepali promises nothing will go wrong, and everyone agrees that Manish and Dada will visit personally to invite the family. Manish even interacts playfully with Piyu and Chintu, promising that fish will be added to the wedding menu once a month, leading to Shalini scolding him for teasing his father. Shivprasad laughs it off, knowing Manish is only speaking the truth.
Before ending the call, Shivprasad remarks that the wedding is being planned before the court hearing, suspecting that there’s a hidden agenda behind the invitation.
Episode Ends
Precap:
Shivprasad tells Shalini that Malhar is inviting them to the wedding and senses something suspicious. If they are inviting him, he knows he must attend—but Manish seems to be plotting against Shalini.
Our Take:
Shivprasad is determined to protect his family from hidden threats. Kabir waits for the right moment, unaware that Parshuram is Shalini’s husband. Seethal keeps a close watch on Shivprasad. What is Shalini hiding from him, and will Shivprasad be able to escape Seethal’s scrutiny?
