The episode begins with Mannat telling Dhairya that she does not trust Aishwarya. She says she knows very well that Arzoo is actually Aishwarya and promises to expose her in front of everyone. Dhairya reminds her that she will have to face Vikrant every day for that. Mannat replies that she is ready to face Vikrant daily if it means exposing Aishwarya. She asks Dhairya to support her, and he assures her that he will always stand by her.
Meanwhile, Vikrant wonders how they could betray him. Kumar brings the agreement and money. Dhairya carefully reads the agreement and says it is common sense to read before signing. Since it concerns his Dua, he has added extra conditions and wants to double-check everything. He says he will not allow anyone to harm his Dua or his family. Mannat signs the agreement.
Vikrant asks Kumar to accompany Mannat to the hospital because it is Neetu’s surgery day. He instructs him to inform the doctor that she is his patient and ensure proper care. Dhairya says there is no need to worry and assures that Dua will attend the competition on time after completing her work. He will handle everything else.
Yashika arrives and holds Vikrant’s hand, asking him to dance with her. Mannat takes Dhairya away from there. Vikrant tells Kumar that he does not fully trust them and wants to ensure nothing delays his competition. Kumar agrees. Vikrant silently hopes that his mother’s surgery goes well. Yashika again calls him to dance, but he excuses himself. She thinks she will celebrate properly since she has won today.
Later, Roni is shocked after hearing the truth from Mannat. He says Vikrant has crossed the limit by asking Mannat to handle the catering for his wedding. Roni complains that Vikrant does not care about her feelings and decides to call him to cancel the order. Mannat stops him and explains that Neetu’s surgery is important. She believes Arzoo is Aishwarya and must accept Vikrant’s condition to expose her. She says they should see it as Vikrant indirectly helping her.
Elsewhere, Aishwarya recalls how Mannat confronted her and fears that Mannat suspects her true identity. Mallika notices her mother’s tension and calms her down. She assures her that nothing will go wrong. Mallika plans to disqualify Dua from the competition so that Mannat will leave the house. She also believes that once Yashika’s truth comes out, her wedding will be stopped.
Roni warns Mannat that Aishwarya hates her deeply and might try to harm her and Dua. Mannat says she is aware and promises to protect Dua at any cost. Roni wonders how Vikrant allowed Aishwarya to stay in his house and questions whether he knows the truth.
Dhairya says Vikrant is unaware. Roni doubts it, but Dhairya believes Aishwarya must have shown him some proof to gain his trust. He says if Vikrant had the ability to see people’s true colors, he would not have trusted the wrong people or ignored his loved ones. Mannat agrees, saying it is easy to fool Vikrant and people are taking advantage of his weakness.
Later, Yashika hires fake parents to act as her family until the wedding is over. Akhil congratulates his sister on her win. She informs him about Mannat and asks him to investigate Aishwarya. Meanwhile, Mallika plans to harm Dua with Yuvi’s help, believing Mannat will leave if anything happens to Dua.
Precap:
Vikrant accidentally drops the puja thaal, and Mannat catches it. The priest praises them as Shiv-Parvati. Dua takes Vikrant’s blessings.
Our Take:
Mannat firmly believes that Aishwarya is living in the Saluja mansion under a new identity. She accepts Vikrant’s conditions to expose her. Meanwhile, Mallika plans to disqualify Dua from the competition and stop Yashika’s wedding. Will Mallika succeed in her plan?
