Today’s episode begins with Hrithik telling Tulsi that he does not want to talk to her. Tulsi pleads with him to listen to her just once. She says she understands his anger and knows he is upset but she explains that she did not marry Mitali under anyone’s pressure and that he also has a daughter. Hrithik snaps back questioning why Tulsi feels entitled to explanations. He asks why he should tell her anything and on what right she is questioning him.
Tulsi says she understands his anger but never imagined that everything would fall apart so badly that Shantiniketan would reach this stage. She asks Hrithik to forgive her. Hrithik angrily asks why she wants to know what happened in the past six years. He clearly tells her she has no right to question him and asks her to leave.
When Tulsi says she is his mother Hrithik breaks down emotionally. He says if she were truly his mother she would already know the answers to all the questions she is asking. She would know what he went through what he suffered and how his life fell apart. He reminds her how he begged her not to leave how he asked her to take him along but she left anyway. He questions how she can now call herself his mother.
Tulsi says she does not want to repeat the circumstances under which she left. Hrithik replies that revisiting the past only brings pain. Remembering old wounds gives him headaches makes him feel suffocated and he does not want to relive that trauma. He says six years ago his mother was his strength, his pillar, his everything left him. He recalls crying and begging her to stay but she did not listen.
Hrithik’s Struggles

He hoped that starting the factory would change things but permission was denied. He feels left behind while everyone else has moved ahead.
Tulsi mentions Munni but Hrithik says she already knows about Munni. He reveals that their company, business, and even Shantiniketan are on the verge of being sold. He feels helpless watching everything collapse. Mitali calls him a loser and maybe he believes she is right. But he remembers how Tulsi used to call him the best how her blessings gave him strength. With her gone he feels completely broken and alone.
Tulsi tries to console him but Hrithik stops her from touching him. He says he does not want to talk to her or anyone. Furious and overwhelmed Hrithik leaves while Tulsi breaks down in tears.

She reminds Mihir that Hrithik was once the most innocent and cheerful member of the family and now he believes death is his only escape. She accuses Mihir of destroying Hrithik in six years.
Mihir admits his mistakes but questions Tulsi’s absence. He asks where she was all these years and why she never called Hrithik even once. Tulsi reminds him that she stayed silent for the children protected the family’s dignity and accepted Karan as her own despite Mihir’s betrayal.
