Today’s episode begins with Vikrant asking Yuvi to eat the prasad. Yuvi starts thinking that the prayer was meant for Vikrant’s favorite Baba, and because of that blessing nothing bad will happen to him. He feels it was wrong that the prasad was given to him first.
Yuvi deliberately pretends to slip and intentionally drops the prasad. He immediately apologizes to Vikrant pretending it was an accident. However Vikrant’s clothes get completely spoiled by the prasad. Instead of scolding Yuvi Vikrant calmly decides to change his outfit. He tells Yuvi to go to Mezbani with Mallika. Yuvi smirks clearly pleased with himself. Vikrant cleans the floor.
Mannat Grows Suspicious
Mannat notices Yuvi leaving with Mallika and instantly feels something is wrong. She rushes into the Saluja mansion with the intention of finding Aishwarya’s samples. Mannat believes that Aishwarya’s truth will finally come out in front of everyone today.
Meanwhile Yashika instructs Yuvi to prepare his dish carefully and not rush. Yuvi casually demands cake and milkshake. At the same time, Aishwarya notices Dhairya helping Dua register her name. She tells Vishakha that Mannat is not with Dhairya and Dua, which means she must be planning something important.
Mannat’s Doubts
Mannat tries to enter Aishwarya’s room but realizes it is locked. This strengthens her suspicion and she confirms to herself that Arzoo is actually Aishwarya. Worried she wonders what she should do next and decides to check Vishakha and Mallika’s rooms. However she finds that those rooms are locked as well.
Vishakha confidently tells Aishwarya that Mannat can try whatever she wants she may reach their rooms but will never be able to enter because all three rooms have been locked deliberately. Aishwarya feels relieved and even praises Vishakha for doing something right for the first time. Mallika asks her mother to relax and stay calm.
Mannat concludes that one thing is clear if Arzoo were not Aishwarya, all the rooms would not be locked. Just then she hears Vikrant’s voice and panics fearing trouble if he sees her there.
Mezbani Competition Begins
At Mezbani all the child contestants prepare for the competition. Dhairya and Bunty cheer enthusiastically for Dua while Mallika, Yashika and Vishakha support Yuvi.
Mallika announces the start of the Mezbani Dawat-e-Chef revealing that the competition is specially organized for young children. The winner will earn the title of India’s Best Junior Chef. Today marks the first round the Barbecue Round.
Mallika explains the rules all contestants must follow the countdown, collect ingredients and tools at the count of three and complete their cooking within ten minutes. Once the countdown ends everything must be cooled and returned to the counter. The children rush to collect vegetables as parents motivate them from the sidelines.
Mallika’s Dangerous Plan Against Dua
Mallika pulls Yuvi aside and reminds him of what he has to do. In a flashback Yuvi questions why she is giving him firecrackers. Mallika explains that Yuvi himself must place them in the grill where Dua will cook. She warns him to ensure no one sees him and to be extremely careful.
Yuvi worries that if someone notices, Vikrant will scold him. Mallika coldly explains that even if Vikrant scolds him the blame will fall on Dua. Yuvi must act innocently cry in front of Vikrant and behave like it was an accident. She adds that if Yuvi speaks about his past mistakes and pretends he wants to become a good boy everyone will sympathize with him and his lies will appear like the truth.
Mallika hands the firecrackers to Yuvi He secretly places them inside Dua’s grill.
Mannat and Vikrant’s Unexpected Confrontation
Mannat enters Vikrant’s room realizing she must leave before he arrives. Suddenly she sees Vikrant coming toward the room and hides. Vikrant enters and starts changing his clothes. Mannat tries to escape but gets caught when Vikrant notices her.
Surprised Vikrant asks why she is there. Mannat lies saying she came to look for a charger. Vikrant questions why out of the entire house, she chose his room. Mannat insists it was because she didn’t see him stepping out and assumed the room was empty. Vikrant senses she is lying and says it feels like she is hiding something.
Mannat replies that it’s not surprising after being betrayed in love it’s natural not to trust anyone. Vikrant agrees. As Mannat leaves she twists her foot and nearly falls. Vikrant holds her hand and saves her. At that moment Dhairya’s call flashes on Mannat’s phone screen. Seeing his name, Vikrant lets go of her hand causing Mannat to fall. She quickly leaves the room. Vikrant realizes that he still has feelings for Mannat.
Back at the competition Yuvi struggles to cut vegetables while the others continue cooking. Dua places her dish on the grill. Dhairya receives a call from Mannat and starts talking to her. Watching everything unfold, Aishwarya smirks confidently believing Mallika’s plan will succeed and that Mannat will leave Mezbani with Dua forever.
Precap: Dua’s grill suddenly explodes. Dhairya demands to know who placed firecrackers in Dua’s grill. A furious Mannat confronts Vikrant accusing him of playing with children’s lives. She asks him what would have happened if something had gone wrong with their daughter. Vikrant is left completely shocked.
