Today’s episode begins with Dhairya telling Mannat that he will not enter the Saluja house. He says Vishaka will be inside and he does not have the courage to face her. He admits he does not even know how she would react on seeing him and he himself does not know how he might respond. He does not want to complicate things further.
He reminds Mannat that they have finally managed to arrange the money after great difficulty, and he does not want anything to ruin the deal. Mannat agrees with him. She says that after so many years if Vishaka sees him she might create drama. So she decides to go inside alone sign the papers collect the money and return.
Dhairya apologizes to her but Mannat assures him that she understands. She then leaves for the Saluja house.
Yashika’s Romantic Surprise
Inside Yashika grabs everyone’s attention. She announces that it is a beautiful evening and since it is the day of love she has planned a special surprise to make it more memorable. Mallika sarcastically comments that no one knows what new drama Yashika is about to create.
Yashika approaches Vikrant and insists on dancing with him. Though Vikrant initially refuses she pressures him until he agrees. He clearly looks uncomfortable while dancing with her. At the same time Mannat enters the house quietly. Aishwarya is busy on a call with her travel agent so Mannat does not notice her.
Meanwhile Vishaka starts talking to Rithu about her saree and asks where she bought it from. Rithu proudly claims that her designer specially created it for her. Vishaka tries to touch the saree but Mallika stops her and takes her away.
Vikrant’s Imagination & Mannat’s Pain
Mannat sees Vikrant dancing with Yashika. Each clap and smile feels like a stab to her heart. Vikrant suddenly notices Mannat standing there.
In an emotional moment Vikrant imagines Mannat running toward him, hugging him, apologizes and both of them breaking down in tears of happiness. In his imagination they forgive each other share emotional closeness and even dance together joyfully.
But the dream shatters. It was only Vikrant’s imagination. Reality hits him hard and he feels intense pain. On the other side Mannat decides she must quickly get the papers signed, collect the money and leave.
Yashika’s Proposal Shocks Everyone
Yashika tells Vikrant that this day is special for lovers and she wants to make it unforgettable. She kneels down and proposes to him, asking him to marry her. Vikrant is stunned.
Mannat is equally shocked when she realizes that Vikrant and Yashika are not married. Until now she believed they were husband and wife. The crowd cheers loudly for Yashika. Mallika looks irritated watching them. Mannat starts questioning everything. If Vikrant and Yashika are not married then whose son is Yuvi? Why did Vikrant never clarify this to her? Jealousy begins to grow in her heart.
Vikrant keeps looking at Mannat. Meanwhile Aishwarya also notices Mannat’s presence. Just when Mannat is about to turn and see Aishwarya Aishwarya quickly hides and pulls Mallika and Vishaka with her. She says that Mannat has arrived. They are shocked. Mallika wonders whether Mannat overheard their conversation.
Aishwarya decides to step outside and instructs Mallika to make sure Mannat leaves. She says she will call after Mannat exits the house.
Outside Dhairya waits anxiously. He worries that it has been too long. He wonders if Vikrant has said something to Mannat. He almost decides to enter the house but stops himself thinking it might create unnecessary trouble if Vishaka sees him. He chooses to wait.
Aishwarya spots Dhairya outside and hides again shocked at his presence. She worries about how to step out without being seen and decides to hide in the dining area until Mannat leaves.
Mannat’s Emotional Confusion
Mallika blocks Mannat’s way but pretends to act normal saying she will not say anything since it has been a long time since her sister came home. She sarcastically adds that Mannat has arrived at a very good time.
Yashika again asks Vikrant for an answer to her proposal. Yuvi cheers for him to say yes. However Vikrant’s eyes remain fixed on Mannat. Yashika notices this.
Vikrant observes that the same pain he once felt seeing Mannat with Dhairya is now visible on Mannat’s face. Yashika fears that if Mannat finds out the truth Vikrant might reject her proposal. Yuvi insists that Yashika is perfect for Vikrant and even asks Mallika to click their picture together. Mallika takes the photo. Mannat watches and wonders if Yuvi is Mallika’s son. She questions why Vikrant misled her.
Vikrant thinks to himself that he never actually lied he simply never cleared her misunderstanding. He believes Mannat wanted to make him jealous by showing her happy family so he stayed silent too. At least he was not a betrayer like her.
Mannat congratulates Vikrant and apologizes for arriving during his happy moment. She says she just needs to get the deal papers signed and will wait near the dining area. Vikrant feels hurt and thinks that maybe what is happening truly does not matter to her.
Precap: Aishwarya’s dress suddenly catches fire and she runs out in fear. Vikrant rushes to save her. Mannat is shocked to see Aishwarya there.
Later Vikrant tells Mannat that he has one more condition. Not only will Dua participate in the competition but she must also handle his wedding catering. Mannat is left completely stunned.
Every emotion misunderstanding, jealousy, and hidden truth is slowly pushing Mannat and Vikrant toward a breaking point. Will love win or will ego and secrets destroy everything?
