Today’s episode begins with Mahadev openly declaring that he is sure Bhanu and Yash are behind the entire incident. He says with full conviction that this conspiracy could only have been planned by the two of them and that is why their behaviour towards him and his family has suddenly changed in the last few days. According to Mahadev this change was deliberate so that no one would suspect them. He adds that he knows Bhanu and Yash very well which is why his suspicion is firm.
Bhanu loses her temper and reacts sharply. She says that she never attacks from behind and always strikes from the front and when she attacks her blow never goes in vain. She boldly states that if she had planned this game Mahadev would have been finished by now and instead of celebrating Maha Shivratri Mahadev’s family would have been mourning.
Bhanu further clarifies that her enmity is only with Mahadev and Vidya and she does not want this hatred to reach the next generation or harm any children from either family. She reminds Mahadev that when she saw Dheeraj injured she herself decided to put an end to the rivalry but filing an FIR against her and Yash only intensified the bitterness something that will now cost Mahadev dearly. She also taunts him by saying that Narmada’s father had Mahadev sent to jail earlier.
Mahadev calmly asks the inspector to carry out all legal action without bias. Following this the police take Ramesh and others away leaving Narmada shocked and deeply hurt.
Bhanu’s Mastermind Confession
After returning home Bhanu tells Yash that he must have understood her strategy by now. She says that even if Mahadev doubts them Vidya will never suspect them because Yash willingly endured torture in jail which worked perfectly as a sacrifice to gain trust.
Bhanu coldly declares that Vidya and Narmada will never forgive each other now. Vidya will always believe that the attack on Dheeraj happened because of Narmada and the growing closeness between Vidya and Narmada will now turn into deep hatred. She confidently states that no matter how hard Narmada tries she will never truly become a part of Mahadev’s family and one day she will be thrown out of the house along with Ketan.
Vidya Breaks All Ties With Narmada
Back at Mahadev’s house he asks everyone to go inside but Kamakshi starts accusing Narmada. She demands that Mahadev throw Narmada out of the house claiming that just like her father tried to kill Dheeraj Narmada could kill all of them someday.
Mahadev sternly orders Kamakshi to remain silent and go inside. Vidya then speaks emotionally. She says that Narmada and Ketan married without informing her which felt like betrayal. However over the last few days she had been trying to understand herself and was ready to forgive Narmada and give her a chance. But after learning about the false framing she declares that she will never forgive Ramesh and will never forget that Narmada is Ramesh’s daughter.
Vidya adds that while she was celebrating happily with Narmada Ramesh was planning Dheeraj’s murder. As Mahadev takes Vidya inside she says that Narmada may be Ketan’s wife but she will never be the daughter-in-law of this house and she will never accept her. Narmada breaks down.
Dheeraj’s Support
Ketan expresses his disappointment saying that every time he tries to create a place for himself and Narmada in the family something happens that forces him to step back. He admits that he never expected Ramesh to do something like this and walks away.
Narmada cries and Dheeraj comes to comfort her. Narmada says she is deeply ashamed of whatever Ramesh has done but insists that she is not at fault. Dheeraj reassures her saying that none of this is her mistake and she does not need to apologise for her father’s actions. He explains that he understands Ramesh’s pain because Mahadev has also suffered greatly. He reminds her that even he and Ketan got married by running away which must have hurt their parents deeply. If children can make mistakes and expect forgiveness parents should also be forgiven.
Narmada says sadly that Mahadev and Vidya will never forgive her. She may have become the daughter-in-law but she will never be accepted. Dheeraj assures her that they may be angry now but one day they will soften. He reminds her that he too was once thrown out of the house yet he still stands there today. He promises that he will ensure Narmada gets respect, love and her rightful place in this family. Narmada gets emotional.
The next morning Mahadev searches for his glasses Vidya looks for something and Kamakshi searches for her sandal. Vidya also notices that the temple bell is missing.
Narmada quietly returns Mahadev’s glasses, Kamakshi’s sandal and Vidya’s bell. Dheeraj smiles at her. A flashback reveals that Dheeraj had secretly stolen these items with Narmada’s help following her instructions. Narmada shares that she has been doing this since childhood and was often punished for it. Dheeraj laughs and says that she is just like him. In the present Narmada says that it is time for her next plan and Dheeraj gives her a high-five.
Breakfast Turns Into Another Battlefield
Narmada announces breakfast by banging a plate and spoon. Mahadev arrives at the dining table and slowly the rest of the family joins. Narmada feels hopeful and serves everyone trying to talk but everyone ignores her including Ketan. She feels deeply hurt.
Dheeraj comes forward to support her but Kamakshi accuses Narmada of poisoning the food. She insists on checking it first claiming that what Ramesh couldn’t do Narmada is trying to do now. Narmada is shattered.
She again uses the plate and spoon to get attention and says she needs to talk. Kamakshi snaps that no one in this house wants to hear her. Narmada insists on speaking to Mahadev and Vidya. She shares that after coming to this house she learned about their love story from 25 years ago when they went against the Bajpai family and got married. She says Vidya suffered continuous attempts to harm her.
Narmada asks an important question Did Mahadev or anyone in the family ever blame Vidya for her father’s actions? If not then why is Narmada being punished for Ramesh’s sins? The room falls silent. Ketan takes Narmada inside and questions her words. Narmada argues that she is the daughter-in-law of the house and has the right to speak. She says she spoke up because Ketan didn’t even look at her or take a stand for her and she is being treated like a criminal for a crime she never committed.
They argue intensely. Narmada says Ketan knew who her father was and if she were truly wrong, Mahadev would have stopped her right there.
Precap: Vidya tells Narmada that Mahadev’s parents accepted their relationship but her mother never did. She asks Narmada whether if her mother stood before her today she could truly deny that relationship. Meanwhile Rajji’s boyfriend plans to drug her drink but Dheeraj overhears everything.
