Today’s episode begins with someone showering flowers on Anupama. The moment reminds her of the Holi celebrations she once shared with Anuj and she smiles emotionally. In her heart Anupama says that the first Holi wish should always be for Anuj. She silently wishes him a Happy Holi and expresses how deeply she still loves him.
Before leaving Anupama tells Anuj that she is going to Rahi’s house and hopes that everything there goes well. She also prays that Anuj somehow comes along with her.
At the Kothari house Hasmukh praises Vasundhara for decorating the temple beautifully. Leela admits that even though Vasundhara can be harsh at times, her devotion toward God is truly strong. Nearby Toshu starts calculating the cost of the decorations and complains to Kinjal that too much money has been spent. He says if they had consulted him he could have arranged everything at a much lower cost. Kinjal immediately tells Toshu to stop complaining and remain quiet.
Vasundhara then folds her hands before God and seeks blessings. They shower flower petals while praying for a joyful and peaceful Holi celebration.
Special Ritual for the Baby
Prarthana explains an emotional thought about motherhood. She says that although a child has only one mother the feeling of motherly affection lives in every woman.
She say the moment a baby is placed in someone’s arms the nurturing instinct awakens automatically. Because of this belief today’s Rasiya ritual will be performed by all the women so that the child receives love and blessings from everyone present. Anupama and Vasundhara lovingly prepare the baby for the ceremony. While doing so Anupama begins singing song. Soon Meeta, Khyati, Leela, Kinjal, Pakhi and Rahi join the celebration.
Pari excitedly announces that after the Bal Krishna act it is now time for Radha-Krishna’s Holi performance.
Rahi and Prem Perform Together
Rahi and Prem step forward to perform the Radha-Krishna act. Before beginning Prem reminds Rahi about the challenge they had made earlier. They then perform a lively dance together.
Watching them together makes Prerna extremely jealous. She secretly records Prem on her phone while imagining herself dancing beside him instead of Rahi. At the same time Anupama becomes emotional. In her heart she tells Anuj that she misses him terribly. Rahi eventually completes the challenge and playfully applies color on Prem’s face. After that both of them throw flower petals on the entire family spreading festive joy.
Anupama Talks About the True Meaning of Love
During the celebration Anupama shares a heartfelt thought about love. She says that real love never carries pride or ego instead it is built on dedication and surrender. When two people truly love each other the difference between you and I disappears. That moment of unity is what defines complete and genuine love.
Meanwhile Prerna quietly murmurs to herself that Rahi may have applied color to Prem while he was playing Krishna but when he becomes prem the first color he will apply will only be for her.
Toshu’s Plan Creates Trouble
Away from everyone Toshu secretly prepares bhang for the Holi party. However things go wrong when Parag and Anil unknowingly drink the bhang. Toshu becomes anxious and realizes that both of them will soon become intoxicated.
At the same time Anupama looks at the colors and says that the first color of Holi will always belong to Anuj. She applies color while remembering him and prays that wherever he is he returns soon.
Anupama happily approaches Prerna and wishes her a Happy Holi. She invites her to join the celebration and apply colors. However Prerna quickly makes an excuse and runs away. Anupama finds her behavior strange and assumes that perhaps Prerna simply does not enjoy playing Holi.
Soon Rahi applies color to Anupama and wishes her warmly. Anupama blesses her and prays that happiness always remains in Rahi’s life. She then curiously asks Rahi what happened to the challenge between her and Prem. Rahi gets surprised and wonders how Anupama knows about it. Anupama laughs and says that she and Anuj were just as competitive once.
She recalls an old memory of how she and Anuj had once challenged each other during Holi and once again wishes him a Happy Holi saying everyone misses him.
Prerna’s Secret Plan to Color Prem
The Shah and Kothari families continue enjoying the Holi festivities. Meanwhile Anupama suddenly realizes that Prerna is nowhere to be seen.
Prerna is secretly watching Prem from a distance. She tells herself that today she will definitely apply the color of her love on him. Just as she is about to apply color to Prem Parag calls him and Prem walks away. Frustrated Prerna complains that even though Prem was so close to her he will not be able to stay away from her forever.
Prerna Rising Jealousy
Anupama starts singing a Holi song and soon both families begin dancing together happily.
Rahi notices Prern she chases prerna to apply color. Prerna keeps running away because she wants to apply color to Prem before Rahi does.
Suddenly Prerna pushes Prem deliberately so that he accidentally ends up applying color to her. Prem gets annoyed and asks if she cannot see where she is going. Rahi questions Prem about his anger and says she was chasing Prerna. Prem says she should only chase him and hugs Rahi saying that he will apply color only to her.
Prerna secretly happy but Anupama notices her reaction and begins to feel suspicious.
Anupama Becomes Suspicious
Later Prerna looks at herself in the mirror and happily says that this Holi has truly become special for her. She even decides to take a selfie.
Just then Anupama walks in and asks why she was hiding earlier to avoid colors but now has color on her forehead she offers help to remove color . Prerna quickly says she does she will remove it later. However when Anupama tries to wipe it off Prerna steps back and stops her. This unusual reaction makes Anupama even more worried.
Bhang Creates Chaos in the Celebration
Meanwhile Toshu becomes intoxicated after drinking bhang and asks Ansh for another drink. Ansh warns him to control himself because he is already drunk. Toshu suddenly receives a phone call and leaves the area. Prerna drinks bhang and begins to feel dizzy.
Parag already drunk starts dancing wildly. Soon everyone joins him on the dance floor. Rahi and Prem dance together while Prerna tries to get closer to Prem. Anupama notices Prerna’s behavior and immediately pulls her away from the dance floor.
Anupama Questions Prerna
Anupama firmly confronts Prerna and asks what she was doing around Prem and Rahi.
She points to the red color on Prerna’s forehead and asks why she keeps smiling at it and why she refuses to remove it. she says it is just a red color that accidentally fell on her while playing Holi.
Anupama responds seriously. She explains that although color may look like sindoor because of its color it can never become sindoor. Colors can be applied by anyone but sindoor belongs to only one person.
Pari Reveals the Hidden Truth
At that moment Pari interrupts the conversation and says she will reveal the truth. She explains that the very issue that has made Anupama angry today was something she herself noticed earlier. Pari reveals that how in Holika Dahan when the lights had gone off earlier Prerna was deliberately trying to come between Prem and Rahi. Hearing this leaves Anupama completely shocked.
Anupama then asks Prerna directly if what Pari is saying is true and demands that she tell the truth.
Prerna Finally Confesses
Prerna speaks up and reveals the truth says she is in love with him. Anupama is stunned.
Prerna openly admits that she loves Prem deeply. She says that she cannot feel happy without seeing him and if he is not around her she feels restless and unable to breathe peacefully. She insists that what she feels is not attraction but true love. Anupama immediately stops her and says that such feelings cross all boundaries of respect and dignity.
Anupama Gives a Strong Warning
Prerna argues that love cannot be controlled and asks what she can do if she has fallen for a married man.
Anupama firmly replies that Prerna should never desire someone who already belongs to another woman. She warns her not to stand between a husband and wife or try to destroy their relationship. Anupama explains that if Prerna truly loved Prem she would have stepped away from his life long ago. she says thinks about the happiness of the other person. Prem’s happiness lies with Rahi.
She also says that pretending to be someone’s friend while secretly desiring her husband is not love but selfishness. Anupama adds that it is fortunate that only she and Pari know the truth. If Prem were to learn about this he might throw Prerna out of the house.
Another Shocking Revelation
However Prerna calmly reveals another truth. She says that Prem already knows about her feelings. She explains that Prem found out about her love back when they were in Delhi.
Anupama is stunned and asks what exactly Prem said when he learned the truth. Prerna replies that instead of asking what he said Anupama should ask what she did. Anupama stands speechless.
Precap: Anupama tells Prerna that loving someone else’s husband is completely wrong. Prerna argues that it may have been wrong in the past but times have changed now.
Prem interrupts and asks Prerna to stay quiet. He tells Anupama that society often assumes men will make mistakes but he is not like that. Prerna responds that if Prem were like other men she would never have fallen in love with him. At that moment Anupama suddenly remembers Maya when she looks at Prerna and becomes worried about what will happen if Rahi learns the truth. Rahi stands shocked after hearing everything.
