Today’s episode begins with Yashika threatening Aishwarya. She warns that she will count to five and if Aishwarya does not come out she will reveal the truth to Mannat and Dhairya. Yashika also says that if her truth comes out she will not spare anyone else either. She starts counting confidently.
Aishwarya finally comes out and Yashika smirks. Yashika then unties Aishwarya’s fake parents and lets them leave. Vishakha asks Aishwarya to stop Yashika but the situation continues to escalate.
Yashika Proposes an Alliance
Mallika warns Yashika not to act too smart because they also know the truth about her. Yashika calmly replies that she knows Mallika is aware of her secret but she is not someone who fakes her own death just to avoid going to jail. She reminds them that they supported a criminal while she did not.
Yashika then asks Aishwarya to listen carefully. She says their goal is the same to get rid of Mannat and throw her out of the house. Since their destination is the same fighting each other will bring them no benefit. Instead they should join hands. She warns Aishwarya not to worry about Vikrant discovering her truth. The worst that could happen is that Vikrant may cut ties with her but Aishwarya could actually go to jail not for deceiving Vikrant and Mannat but for cheating the law.
Yashika tells Aishwarya that she must decide whether she wants to co-operate with her or face jail. She also says that her truth cannot stay hidden for long because she knows that Mannat is planning to meet her.
Aishwarya Accepts Yashika’s Offer
Mallika tries to convince Aishwarya not to listen to Yashika but Aishwarya says Yashika is right. Fighting each other will achieve nothing because their goal is the same. She declares that the enemy of her enemy can be her friend and says they should unite to remove Mannat from their lives.
Aishwarya asks Yashika about her plan. Yashika says that as long as Mannat stays in the Saluja house she will continue to be a major threat. Mallika argues that Mannat still believes Aishwarya is Arzoo so she should not trust Yashika’s plan. Yashika sarcastically mocks Mallika and says that even though she is Aishwarya’s daughter she should at least have some intelligence.
Mallika angrily asks her to stay within her limits. Yashika then suggests that a DNA test alone could silence Mannat but Aishwarya explains that Mannat is her own blood and she knows her well. Even if Mannat stays quiet for a few days she will keep suspecting her and continue trying to expose the truth.
The Dangerous Plan Against Mannat
Vishakha says Holi is the perfect opportunity because everyone will be busy in the party making it easier to target Mannat.
However Yashika says attacking Mannat directly will not work. Instead they need to break her emotionally by attacking her heart. Aishwarya immediately understands and says the target should be Dua because Dua is Mannat’s life. They decide that they must create a situation where something terrible happens to Dua so that Mannat becomes terrified and leaves the house herself.
Aishwarya agrees with the plan and finally joins hands with Yashika.
Vikrant Praises Dua’s Talent
Later Vikrant is surprised to see Yashika, Aishwarya, Mallika and Vishakha together. Yashika casually says that she wanted to do shopping for her engagement and appreciated Arzoo’s taste.
Vikrant begins discussing the first day of the cooking competition. He says that every child has a unique story and the competition should consider their backgrounds. He praises Dua calling her brilliant, disciplined and passionate about cooking. He says she handled everything amazingly and clearly has a natural talent. Yashika, Aishwarya, Mallika, and Vishakha are not pleased to hear Vikrant praising Dua.
Mallika complains that Dua does not have manners and reminds him how she behaved with Yuvi and even accused him earlier. Vikrant defends Dua and says she was not wrong. Instead of blaming her they should motivate Yuvi to learn from her and become focused and disciplined.
He adds that a child’s upbringing has a strong influence on their character.
Mannat Hears Vikrant’s Words
Yashika quietly tells Aishwarya that Dua seems to have cast a spell on Vikrant. Yashika replies that the spell will only last until tomorrow.
Vikrant continues praising Dua and says she cooks not to impress judges but from the heart. He says cooking is not just about filling the stomach but about touching people’s hearts. Mannat overhears this and becomes emotional. She thinks about how deeply Vikrant is speaking about Dua. She wonders how he would react if he discovered that Dua is actually his daughter.
At the same time she remembers that Vikrant had rejected Dua even before she was born.
Vikrant and Mannat Discuss the Event Menu
Vikrant notices Mannat and approaches her to discuss the menu for the engagement and Holi party. Mannat says everything will be handled.
Yashika interrupts and suggests including a traditional sweet called Pinni. Surprisingly, both Vikrant and Mannat immediately refused at the same time. Mannat remembers that Shruti loved Pinni which means Vikrant still remembers it. Yashika notices the connection and suspects that there is still an emotional bond between Vikrant and Mannat.
Vikrant tells Mannat to do her best and Mannat replies that she knows the secret of cooking that even many professional chefs do not understand food connects hearts and humanity.
Vikrant becomes shocked because he realizes that Mannat heard everything he said earlier.
Yashika’s Kidnapping Plan for Dua
Later Yashika tells Aishwarya about a kidnapping gang active in Mumbai that has reportedly taken many children in the last 15 days. She admits the story is false but says they can use it to their advantage.
She reveals her horrifying plan they will hide Dua inside a large drink cooler during the party and secretly send her away from the house. Once Dua disappears Mannat will be devastated and leave the city in fear. When Aishwarya asks what will happen to Dua Yashika coldly replies that Dua will also lose her life. Aishwarya remembers that years ago she had also tried to get rid of Mannat in a similar way. She admits that she is just as cruel as Yashika. Yashika proudly responds that she is even worse and they both laugh.
They also decide to blame Yuvi if their plan is exposed because Vikrant would do anything to protect him. Yashika asks how they will arrange the coolers. Aishwarya says she will handle it. She calls Kumar and tells him about a friend who supplies ice. She asks if they can order ice for the Holi event and engagement party.
Kumar says he will ask Vikrant but Aishwarya requests him not to mention her name because she does not want Vikrant to think she is recommending someone. Kumar agrees and takes the contact details.
Yashika smiles confident that the final stage of their plan has begun.
Mannat and Dhairya’s Counter Plan
Meanwhile Mannat is teaching Dua cooking. Dhairya arrives and says he has a great idea. When Dua asks what it is he quickly changes the topic and starts discussing the competition. Later Mannat and Dhairya speak privately. They decide that if Arzoo is actually Aishwarya she must confess it herself.
Dhairya suggests using bhang during the Holi celebration to make Aishwarya reveal the truth. Mannat agrees to the plan.
Mannat later discusses the event menu with Vikrant. Yashika again brings up the ice issue and warns that no mistake should happen like the one during the Indore engagement incident. Vikrant defends Mannat and says the earlier incident was not her fault.
Yashika cleverly Move
Yashika cleverly asks Kumar about the ice vendor he mentioned earlier. Kumar tells Mannat he will give her the contact details.
Yashika and Aishwarya exchange a smirk. Aishwarya secretly thinks that tomorrow will be Mannat’s last day in the house because once she loses Dua she will never stay in Mumbai again.
Precap: During the Holi celebration everyone is happily playing with colors. Suddenly a light structure starts falling. Dua screams Mannat leaving everyone shocked.
