Today’s episode begins with Hrithik Hrithik telling Tulsi Tulsi that Ranvijay Ranvijay joined hands with Angad Angad after manipulating him.
In a flashback Ranvijay is seen proposing an alliance to Angad. He suggests that they should unite and asks Angad to transfer his Power of Attorney shares to him so they can take full control of the company together. Back in the present Angad reveals that everything was an act. He explains that he only pretended to agree because he wanted to understand Ranvijay’s real plan. When Ranvijay approached him Angad immediately said yes so that Ranvijay would not suspect him.
Hrithik adds that Angad deliberately took his time to ensure Ranvijay would not doubt him. Angad admits that to gain Ranvijay’s trust he had to do things he would never normally do including helping with Ranvijay’s bail.
Hrithik reveals that this strategy was planned from day one and he had been with Angad throughout. Vrinda Vrinda questions why they were not informed earlier. Angad explains that he did not want to take any risk. If Ranvijay had suspected anyone the entire plan would have failed. When Ranvijay realized Angad was going against his own siblings and Tulsi and Vrinda appeared upset with him Ranvijay’s trust became stronger.
Tulsi then questions whether the fight that happened in the chawl between Angad and Hrithik was also fake. Hrithik confirms that it was all drama. Vrinda adds that she thought the fight was real since Ranvijay was not physically present there. Hrithik clarifies that Ranvijay’s associate Suhas Suhas was secretly recording everything and sending updates and videos to Ranvijay.
Hrithik assures Tulsi that there was never any real rift between him and Angad. Angad emotionally states that Hrithik is his life and he would never betray him. Vrinda says their acting affected her deeply and Tulsi almost left because of the pain they caused. Both Angad and Hrithik apologize sincerely.
Tulsi’s Emotional Drama and Playful Punishment
Tulsi expresses her anger. She says they lied for days, made her cry, treated her like a fool and never once thought about her feelings. She packs her bag and says everyone in this house does whatever they want without caring about others. As she tries to leave Angad and Hrithik stop her. Suddenly Tulsi grabs both of them by the ears and reveals that she was also acting. She says if they can perform drama she can too. Tulsi then makes both Angad and Hrithik do sit-ups while apologizing. She says she has forgiven them only halfway and the remaining forgiveness depends on Vrinda.
Tulsi says forgiveness is not that easy and asks them to continue the sit-ups. Vrinda eventually softens saying she cannot see Angad suffering. Tulsi then asks what the next step is. Angad says they must make Ranvijay bankrupt. Hrithik adds that Ranvijay still holds some company shares and they must reclaim them carefully. Vrinda advises them to act cautiously. Tulsi again orders them to continue the sit-ups and they run away playfully.
Niona’s Happiness Turns into Fear
Elsewhere Suchi hugs Niona expressing her happiness saying that Niona’s long wait is finally coming to an end. She says everything Niona dreamed of is finally becoming reality. Suchi ties a black thread on Niona’s wrist explaining that she does not want any evil eye to affect her happiness.
Niona confidently says that in the next court hearing Tulsi and Mihir’s divorce will be finalized after which she and Mihir will get married. She says Mihir will finally be hers forever. However while speaking Niona suddenly starts coughing badly and blood comes out of her mouth. Both Niona and Suchi are shocked and panic immediately.
A doctor is called and reassures them saying such symptoms can happen due to excessive coughing or internal strain. She advises medication and says there is nothing to worry about for now. Niona still looks uneasy but asks Suchi not to inform anyone in the family about this incident.
Police Reach Gautam’s House
Gautam receives a call from Balan who informs him that the police have re-arrested Santosh and are now searching for strong evidence connected to the case. Balan warns Gautam that the police somehow found out that he is Santosh’s lawyer and has also traced Gautam’s address.
Before Gautam can react the police arrive at his house and ask him to open the door. Gautam quickly hides his laptop, CDs and recordings hide them inside the dining table. When he opens the door he casually tells the police that he was bathing which is why he took time to answer.
The police question him about Santosh and say they want to search the house. Gautam firmly states that unless they have a search warrant they cannot enter otherwise he will challenge them in court. The police warn him that Santosh is a drug dealer and also faces murder charges and that he is not worth defending. They leave after threatening him verbally. Gautam feels relieved but disturbed.
Tulsi – Mihir and the Divorce Dilemma
Tulsi receives a call from her lawyer and is left shocked. On the other hand Noina also gets a call from the lawyer informing her that in the next hearing the divorce between Tulsi and Mihir will be finalized for sure. Overjoyed Noina asks the lawyer to also inform Mihir. She happily thinks to herself that finally what she had been waiting for is about to happen Mihir will finally be hers.
The lawyer then calls Mihir and informs him about the divorce date. Mihir is stunned and questions how the date came so quickly. The lawyer responds that it is actually a good thing the divorce had been pending for years and now only formalities remain. Mihir disconnects the call deeply disturbed. He looks at his and Tulsi’s wedding photograph and recalls every moment they spent together their happiness, struggles and shared life. Mihir becomes emotional realizing how close they are to ending everything forever.
Gautam’s Shocking Discovery
Gautam opens his laptop to check his emails and unexpectedly finds a video of Mihir and Niona saved on a pen drive. Confused he plays the video and is completely shocked. He realizes that Mihir was unconscious the entire night and nothing happened between Mihir and Niona.
Gautam recalls Shobha’s words where she had claimed that Mihir cheated on Tulsi with Niona which led Tulsi to leave Shantiniketan. Gautam realizes that Mihir has been blamed and punished for a mistake he never committed.
Tulsi Meets Mihir
Later Tulsi meets Mihir. She asks why he called her there. Mihir asks her to sit and insists she hear him out. He suggests that they should delay the divorce and take it after some time. Tulsi questions him sharply saying six years is already a long time what does he mean by some more time?
Trying to avoid the real reason Mihir lies and says that a pandit he recently met advised him that the current phase is not auspicious and something big is about to happen so the timing is not right for divorce. Tulsi immediately counters him saying auspicious timings are taken for marriage not for divorce. Divorce is about ending a relationship not beginning one.
Mihir explains that whether a relationship is formed or broken both impacts the family deeply but breaking it affects everyone even more. Tulsi admits that children suffer the most when parents divorce no matter how old they are. Mihir says that the divorce is entirely his fault he failed as a husband but at least wants to be a good father. Mihir further says that Angad and Vrinda have not yet returned home Gautam is unsettled and vulnerable and the children still need stability. He believes that postponing the divorce could reduce the emotional damage on the family.
Tulsi responds firmly. She agrees that the children need care but the divorce must still happen. She expresses concern for Gautam, who is completely alone Damini and Nakul are not with him. She says she needs to speak to Gautam and remind him that his family has not abandoned him and that Shantiniketan is still his home.
Tulsi also shares her wish that all the children return to Shantiniketan and live together under one roof. Mihir says that Shantiniketan feels incomplete without Tulsi but she ignores the emotional remark. She says she is not alone Vaishnavi, Vandan and the other girls need her.
Tulsi shifts the topic back to Gautam mentioning that Shobha told her Gautam has come to Mumbai. She insists they must speak to him. Mihir agrees and suggests going together. Tulsi and Mihir sit together in silence and surround them but their eyes speak volumes, carrying years of unresolved pain, love and regret.
Precap: Gautam shows Tulsi the video of Mihir and Niona. Tulsi is shocked. Gautam says Mihir is being punished for a mistake he never committed. Mihir wonders what really happened that night between him and Niona and what decision Tulsi will now make.
