Today’s episode begins with Dua struggling to open the freezer door. She starts feeling extremely cold and weak. At that moment she remembers Vikrant’s advice from earlier while she was cooking.
At that time when Dua felt she wouldn’t be able to finish the dish Vikrant motivated her and said that she could still do it she just needed courage and should not give up. He explained that if she gives up so easily she won’t be able to achieve anything in life. Dua had replied that she couldn’t make the dish because her mind wasn’t working properly. Vikrant then told her to place both hands on her ears take a deep breath and focus on the voice of her fear. He asked her to challenge that fearful voice with courage and tell herself that she can do it she can cook the dish and she is capable of achieving anything.
After following his words Dua opened her eyes and successfully completed the task. Vikrant had also told her that in life there isn’t always someone to give us courage so sometimes we must find that strength within ourselves because God helps those who help themselves. Vikrant had then said that the real magic lies inside a person they only need to discover it.
Now inside the freezer Dua remembers Vikrant and Dhairya’s lessons and gathers courage. She tells herself that she is brave and can overcome this situation. She then starts shouting and calling for help.
Aadhya Reassures Mannat
Meanwhile Aadhya calls Mannat and wishes her for Holi. She quickly notices that Mannat’s voice sounds dull and worried. Mannat tells her that she came for Dua’s competition but Dua is missing and she cannot find her anywhere. She says that she has been searching for a long time and is feeling very anxious.
Aadhya comforts her and tells her not to panic because Dua will definitely be found. She reminds Mannat that Dua has a loving family who cares deeply for her and the strength of their love can defeat even the biggest problems. She also says that even if Vikrant doesn’t know yet that Dua is his daughter their bond will still protect her and if Dua is in trouble Vikrant’s love will surely bring her back safely.
Aadhya also suggests posting Dua’s photo and details on social media so that someone might help locate her. Mannat thanks her and Aadhya reassures her once again not to worry because Dua will be found soon before ending the call.
Mannat Finds Dua’s Shoe
Mannat continues searching desperately for Dua. She enters the kitchen area where the freezer is placed and calls out Dua’s name. She says that her heart tells her Dua is somewhere nearby but she cannot see her.
Inside the freezer Dua hears Mannat’s voice. Just then Dhairya calls out Mannat’s name and rushes toward her which makes Dua fear that they might leave without finding her. Dua shouts that she is there and pleads for someone to save her.
Dhairya then tells Mannat that he found a shoe that belongs to Dua. Seeing the shoe Mannat becomes emotional and breaks down. At that moment Vikrant arrives and asks what happened. Mannat shows him the shoe and says it belongs to Dua hugging it tightly as she cries uncontrollably.
Vikrant and Dhairya Investigate
Kumar suggests that since catering trucks were present there Dua might have been taken away in one of them. He immediately calls the truck driver to ask if they saw a child. Dhairya anxiously takes the phone and asks if anyone noticed Dua while Vikrant contacts the catering staff for confirmation. However Kumar informs them that the catering team said no child was inside their truck. Hearing this Mannat completely breaks down in tears.
Vikrant feels helpless seeing Mannat in such pain while Dhairya tries to console her. Dhairya then calls his friend Sid and files a complaint informing him that Dua is missing and he needs urgent help. He also sends Dua’s photo and details.
Aishwarya’s Secret Plan
Meanwhile Yuvi becomes scared seeing the police. Just then Aishwarya arrives with the police which shocks him even more. He thinks Mallika was right and the police might arrest him. Vishakha whispers that Aishwarya must have gone mad to bring the police herself.
Mallika quietly asks Aishwarya why she did that. Aishwarya reveals that she intentionally brought the police with Vikrant so that no one would suspect them. She also warns Mallika that it is her responsibility to keep Yuvi silent otherwise their entire plan will be ruined. Mallika assures her that Yuvi is already terrified because she told him that if his name appears in the case Vikrant will send him to juvenile detention so he will not speak.
However Vishakha worries that if the police question them they might get trapped. Aishwarya confidently tells them to just act worried about Dua and cooperate with the investigation.
Police Check CCTV
Vikrant, Dhairya and Mannat give the police all the details and show them Dua’s photo. They also inform the inspector about the clothes she was wearing when she was last seen. The police say that they need to check the CCTV footage. Aishwarya pretends to cooperate and says they will fully assist in finding Dua.
Dhairya asks the inspector to check the CCTV cameras inside the venue while he asks his team to review the outside cameras. Vikrant and Dhairya leave with the police to examine the footage while Kumar assures Bunty that they will definitely find Dua.
Bunty confidently says that Dhairya is a brave officer who never lets criminals escape and always sends them to jail.
Yuvi Tries to Save Dua
Yuvi becomes extremely frightened and thinks he must bring Dua back so Dhairya won’t send him to jail. He quietly leaves the area which Aishwarya notices immediately. She fears that Yuvi might ruin her plan.
Meanwhile Yuvi reaches the freezer and tries to open it. He talks to Dua and apologizes to her promising that he will help her. After struggling with the lock Yuvi manages to open the freezer door and extends his hand to pull Dua out.
Aishwarya Traps Both Kids
Just before Dua could come out Aishwarya suddenly pushes Yuvi inside the freezer and locks the door again trapping both children together. Yuvi starts shouting for help but Aishwarya immediately calls the security staff and orders them to remove the freezer. While Dua and Yuvi scream for help from inside the workers load the freezer into a truck.
Aishwarya pays them money and warns them to stay silent. The truck drives away with both children trapped inside. Aishwarya smirks and says that she never loses and after losing Dua Mannat will spend her life thinking it would have been better if she had died that night rather than living with this unbearable pain.
Police Suspect Kidnapping
Meanwhile Dhairya reveals that according to the CCTV footage the last time Dua was seen was near Mallika. The police have already recorded Mallika’s statement and Bunty’s suspicion Dua might have gone to Yuvi after Mallika told her to but what happened afterward still needs to be figured out.
The inspector then says that he wants to interrogate Yuvi and Vikrant assures him that Yuvi will cooperate. Kumar leaves to bring Yuvi.
Mannat Breaks Down
Vishakha becomes extremely nervous and fears that Yuvi might reveal the truth in front of the police which would expose all of them. Meanwhile Dhairya notices Mannat trying to stay strong. Mannat emotionally requests him to bring Dua back safely.
Vikrant tries to calm her and assures her that the police are helping and they will find Dua soon. However the police officer informs them that many kidnapping cases have recently been registered and he suspects that the same gang might be involved in Dua’s disappearance. Hearing this Mannat is left completely shocked.
Precap: Dua tells Yuvi that if they are taken too far away they might never see their parents again. Meanwhile Mannat tells Dhairya that she suspects Aishwarya is behind Dua’s disappearance.
On the other hand Aishwarya declares that Yuvi is Vikrant’s greatest weakness and once both Dua and Yuvi disappear Vikrant and Mannat will be completely shattered.
