Today’s episode begins with Dhairya angrily confronting Neetu. He tells her that he served and respected her more than his own mother yet she betrayed him in return. Dhairya says Neetu should tell the truth in court because she is trying to snatch Dua away from him. He questions how she could play such a huge game against him and insists that the video shown against him is fake.
Dhairya then explains everything to Mannat. He says he never accepted any bribe from anyone and asks her to trust him. He reveals that he did not even know who the man was or why he came to meet him. The man simply arrived with a briefcase full of money and claimed he wanted help in freeing his friend. Dhairya says he did not even know that person.
Mannat recalls that when Dua returned after playing she had an injury. When asked how she got hurt he casually said it happened while playing. Mannat realizes he made Dua lie to her. She breaks down emotionally and blames herself saying Dua’s custody was taken away because of everything happening around Dhairya. She cries that now Dua will stay with Vikrant instead of them.
The Judge Gives Dua’s Custody to Vikrant
Neetu insists Mannat to understand that Vikrant is Dua’s real father and not Dhairya. At that exact moment Dua arrives there and overhears everything. She is left completely shocked.
The judge then announces that Mannat now understands why this decision had to be taken. After learning the truth about Dhairya the court cannot hand over Dua’s custody either to Dhairya or to Mannat who blindly trusted him. The judge says the court always takes decisions keeping the child’s welfare in mind which is why Dua’s custody is being given to her biological father Vikrant. Mannat and Dhairya are left stunned while Neetu becomes happy hearing the verdict.
Dhairya desperately pleads that he is Dua’s father and no one can separate him from his daughter. Mannat also emotionally begs the judge not to do this. She says Dua has been with them since childhood and does not know anything about Vikrant. Mannat says Vikrant may be Dua’s biological father but he knows nothing about her life, habits or emotions.
She pleads with folded hands that Dua should be allowed to stay with them because the little girl cannot survive without them after spending her entire childhood together.
Mannat Begs the Judge to Change the Decision
The judge reminds Mannat that she is standing inside a courtroom. Mannat requests her once again to reconsider the decision and return Dua to them.
The judge says she understands Mannat’s emotions as a mother but the court works on evidence and testimony. According to the evidence the video clearly proves Dhairya is unfit to become Dua’s guardian. The judge says Mannat may not be able to see Dhairya’s other side but as both a woman and a judge she believes the decision is right because a child’s future should remain in safe hands and not with a dishonest police officer.
Dhairya loses control and screams that he is not corrupt. He insists that he never accepted money and claims the video is fake. He says someone is trapping him. The judge warns Dhairya that if he behaves like this again contempt of court charges and penalties will be imposed against him.
The judge further declares that Mannat being Dua’s mother can still meet her whenever she wants but Dhairya has no legal rights over Dua anymore because Vikrant is her real father. The court officially grants full custody of Dua to Vikrant.
Dua Refuses to Accept Vikrant as Her Father
Suddenly Dua speaks up and says everyone is lying. The entire courtroom gets shocked seeing her there.
Dua cries and says Vikrant is not her father and that only Dhairya is her real father. She runs straight to Dhairya and hugs him tightly. Through tears she asks him if everyone is lying and whether he is truly her father. Dhairya emotionally tells Dua that he is indeed her father and no one else can replace him.
Dua then tells the court that she belongs to Dhairya and not Vikrant. Neetu immediately interrupts and tells Dua that is not the truth. She reveals to Dua Vikrant is her real father and accuses Dhairya of hiding the truth from her all these years. Dua is shocked
Mannat Explodes at Neetu
Mannat loses her temper and pushes Neetu away. She warns her to stay away from Dua. Mannat says she has now seen Neetu’s real face and threatens that if she says anything more she will forget Neetu was ever like a mother to her. Yashika says this is not the right way to speak to Neetu.
Mannat then tells the judge that since custody has been given to Vikrant only she and Vikrant has the right to discuss matters related to Dua. She says no one else should interfere because Dua is still a small child. Meanwhile Dua quietly leaves the courtroom without informing anyone.
The judge scolds everyone for creating chaos during an ongoing custody case. She questions how such an emotionally sensitive child was allowed inside the courtroom in the first place. The judge specifically criticizes Neetu for being insensitive despite knowing how deeply such situations affect children mentally. Yashika then tries to calm Neetu by reminding her that they already won the case.
Dua Goes Missing After Hearing the Truth
Mannat suddenly realizes Dua is missing. Dhairya and Mannat immediately rush out to search for her while Neetu follows them.
At the same time Vikrant learns from Kumar that the court has already handed Dua’s custody to him. Vikrant gets shocked because he had clearly instructed Kumar to delay the proceedings until he arrived. Kumar tries explaining something about a video but the phone call disconnects due to network issues.
Outside Mannat furiously confronts Neetu and warns her to stay away from Dua. Neetu questions Mannat’s tone and reminds her that Dua is also her granddaughter. Neetu says everything she did was for Vikrant and Dua’s future.
Mannat angrily replies that Neetu did everything only for herself and her stubborn obsession. She accuses Neetu of turning her love for Vikrant into an obsession. Mannat reminds her that years ago she had also ruined Vikrant’s life in the name of love and now she is doing the same thing with Dua. She says Neetu has become so selfish that she has forgotten how to treat a seven-year-old child.
Yashika secretly takes advantage of Neetu’s emotional state and manipulates her further. She says Mannat only spoke in anger because she is worried about Dua. Yashika then smirks to herself.
Vikrant Saves Dua From an Accident
Meanwhile Dua is walking alone on the road while replaying all the courtroom arguments in her mind. She keeps thinking about Vikrant being called her father and the custody decision.
Lost in her thoughts Dua almost comes in front of Vikrant’s speeding car. Vikrant immediately applies the brakes and saves her just in time. Dua feels dizzy and nearly collapses but Vikrant catches her before she falls.
While half-conscious Dua repeatedly says that Vikrant is not her father and that Dhairya is her real father. She begs Vikrant to take her back to Dhairya. Vikrant becomes emotional hearing her words.
Police Arrive at Saluja House
Mannat and Dhairya later return to the Saluja house while searching for Dua. Ronnie asks what happened in court and why nobody answered his calls.
Mannat explains that Dua secretly followed them to court and heard everything and ran away afterward. Dhairya breaks down and says he had always feared that one day someone would snatch Dua away from him and today that fear came true.
Just then Neetu arrives there with the police. Everyone gets shocked. Neetu accuses Dhairya of hiding Dua somewhere because he cannot accept losing custody. Mannat becomes furious hearing this accusation and says Neetu has crossed all limits by suggesting Dhairya could harm Dua.
The inspector questions Dhairya but he angrily replies that he himself is searching for his missing daughter and cannot believe the police are accusing a father instead of investigating properly. Neetu insists that Dhairya could easily hide Dua using his contacts because he knows many people across Mumbai. Ronnie scolds Neetu for her insensitive accusations.
Dua Returns and Defends Dhairya
At that exact moment Dua returns there and loudly declares that Dhairya is her father and no one else. She runs to Dhairya and hugs him tightly. Dhairya emotionally asks whether she is alright. Mannat then questions Vikrant about where he found Dua.
Vikrant explains that he found Dua outside the court while she was running and crying. He then asks how Dua suddenly came to know he is her biological father. Mannat angrily says this entire situation happened only because Vikrant did not arrive at court on time.
Dhairya refuses to hear any explanation from Vikrant and says he has no interest in speaking to the man who dragged their daughter into court without thinking about her emotional condition and say they will leave this house along Dua
Police Separate Dhairya and Dua
Neetu suddenly stops Dhairya from taking Dua away and reminds him that the court already gave custody to Vikrant. She says Dhairya no longer has any rights over Dua.
The inspector then forcefully separates Dhairya’s hand from Dua’s hand. Mannat and Vikrant are left shocked watching the scene. Mannat intervenes and says that Dua can stay with Dhairya too but Neetu insists that Dua must stay only with Vikrant because that is the court’s official decision.
Vikrant finally loses patience and scolds Neetu to stop interfering. He requests Dhairya to take Dua inside the house while they calmly discuss everything. Dhairya takes Dua away from there.
Vikrant Learns About the Fake Evidence
Neetu tells Vikrant that the court already declared Vikrant the winner and that Dhairya has no claim over Dua anymore.
Mannat then confronts Vikrant and demands answers. She asks whether he knew about Neetu’s entire plan from the beginning. She questions if he was involved in framing Dhairya with corruption allegations. Vikrant immediately questions Kumar about what happened in court. He asked Neetu about the evidence presented in court. The lawyer then reveals that the court decision was based entirely on the corruption video shown against Dhairya.
Neetu tries to hide video truth but Vikrant insists on see it and becomes shocked after watching the video himself. He asks Neetu why she used such evidence to win custody. Vikrant then explains Mannat that he was delayed because he received a fake emergency call asking him to identify a dead body at the police station. He says he even has proof proving he was intentionally trapped and delayed. Mannat tells him she never needed proof from him because his words alone were always enough for her.
She emotionally says Dhairya spent seven years dedicating his life to Dua but in return his entire reputation was destroyed. Mannat tells Neetu that even enemies do not destroy someone’s life the way she did while pretending to be a mother . After saying this Mannat leaves from there.
Vikrant also walks away angrily while Ronnie turns his back on Neetu. Neetu breaks down in tears after realizing everyone now hates her.
Dua Asks the Most Painful Question
Later Dhairya notices Dua silently crying. He asks whether she wants to say something.
Dua innocently asks him why he lied to her all these years. Through tears she asks whether Vikrant is truly her real father because she always believed only Dhairya was her father.
Dhairya gets completely shocked hearing her heartbreaking question. Mannat who overhears the conversation is equally stunned and emotional
Precap: Dhairya tells Mannat that they are leaving the house with Dua. Mannat, Dhairya, Dua and Ronnie prepare to leave together. Neetu tries stopping them and asks Mannat to speak to Vikrant before leaving. Ronnie reminds Neetu that he had warned her earlier that if she revealed the truth about Vikrant and Dua’s relationship she would lose him forever and today that has finally happened.
Just then Mannat receives a shocking phone call informing her that Vikrant has met with a major accident. Mannat breaks down in tears while the entire family is left horrified.
