Today’s episode begins with a priest telling Mannat that when a person stands on their last hope and their prayers are truly powerful even God cannot ignore them. He adds that Dua’s prayer has the strength to change her destiny. Dua becomes confused and asks Mannat why the priest said something like that. Mannat replies that she has no idea and was wondering the same thing herself.
Elsewhere Aishwarya tells Mallika that everything is ruined. She fears she will be exposed if Mannat sees her and she is extremely tense. Mallika reassures her that Mannat will never allow Dua to participate in the cooking competition. Vishakha supports Mallika and reminds Aishwarya that she had separated Vikrant and Mannat for seven years before so she can handle this situation too.
However Aishwarya warns them not to be overconfident. She says Mannat is extremely dangerous and as long as she is around they cannot relax. According to her Mannat will never miss any opportunity to come close to Vikrant. Staying away from him is just an act.
Aishwarya further reveals her frustration. She believed that separating Vikrant and Mannat seven years ago had ended everything and that Mannat had left her life forever. But after twenty years Mannat re-entered her world and destroyed the peaceful life she had built. Now Mannat has her daughter Dua as well Vikrant and Mannat’s child who has already created chaos in their lives.
Mallika becomes scared listening to this. Aishwarya admits that she is even more afraid because Mannat is always a threat to her. She decides that she must leave the country and go to London to save herself. Vishakha asks what they will do if she leaves. Aishwarya orders them to first get Dua disqualified from the competition and send her back. She wants Dua out in the first round itself. Mallika reminds her that she burned her passport earlier to stay in India. Aishwarya regrets that impulsive act and says she will need to apply for a new passport. Until then she must stay extremely careful and avoid appearing publicly.
However before leaving she is determined to handle Dua and ensure her elimination from the competition.
Vishakha then raises another concern if Aishwarya avoids public appearances what will happen to the Valentine’s Day party where they planned to expose Yashika? Should they cancel it?
Aishwarya refuses. The party is being held at Saluja Mansion and Mannat will not be present there. She wants to expose Yashika before leaving because she has already failed many times in front of Mannat. She cannot afford to fail in front of Yashika too. Mallika fears that Mannat and Dua’s entry into their lives will completely ruin everything.
Bunty Discovers Dua’s Competition Poster
Meanwhile Bunty notices Dua’s large poster for the cooking competition and is shocked. He realizes it is Vikrant’s competition and wonders how Dua became a part of it. He tells Dua he wants to show her something and runs to stop the van carrying her promotional hoarding. The vehicle stops just in time.
Mannat and Dua are about to look at it when Mannat receives a call from Dhariya who urgently asks her to come to Neetu’s hospital room. Mannat immediately takes Dua with her to meet Neetu.
Vishakha Tries to Turn Vikrant Against Mannat
Vishakha attempts to provoke Vikrant against Mannat. She accuses Mannat of planning the entire poster incident and questions how the hoarding could be changed without her involvement. Vikrant strongly denies the accusation. He admits that if any mistake happened it was his responsibility not Mannat’s. He insists that Mannat had nothing to do with it.
Mallika argues that even if it was Vikrant’s mistake how did Dua arrive at the exact moment for the photoshoot? How was everything arranged without their knowledge? Vikrant says he does not even remember how it all happened. At one point he accidentally calls Mallika Maa and quickly apologizes correcting himself.
Yashika feels that they are deliberately trying to keep Dua away from the competition which seems strange to her. She tells Vikrant he should not allow Dua to participate. If Dua joins Mannat will also come along and Yuvi will not like it. Yuvi agrees and reminds everyone how badly Mannat treated him in the past.
Vikrant replies that the competition decisions have already been finalized and he cannot change anything now.
Valentine’s Day Party Debate
Kumar informs Mallika to finalize the decorations for the Valentine’s Day party. Mallika starts reviewing the theme ideas.
Yashika internally panics because she has not arranged fake parents as part of her plan and fears the party might turn into her humiliation event. Yashika suggests that since Yuvi and Vikrant are already upset they should cancel the party. Vishakha refuses saying invitations have already been sent to their parents and canceling now would look bad.
Yashika insists that they can manage the situation somehow. Mallika reminds everyone that she promised Yuvi this party would be special and dedicated only to him to prove their love. After everything that happened, if Yuvi leaves the house again she will not be able to handle it.
Vikrant firmly declares that the party will happen and tells Yashika to make sure her parents attend. Yashika reluctantly agrees.
Neetu’s Critical Condition
At the hospital the doctor informs Mannat that Neetu’s condition is worsening rapidly. They urgently need money for surgery and cannot wait any longer.
Ronnie becomes emotional and says Neetu cannot give up now. She has worked so hard for her children and must fight for her life for herself and for all of them.
Mannat blames herself feeling she has not done enough for Neetu. She breaks down in guilt. Dua steps forward maturely and says that when life becomes difficult and nothing makes sense, people must stay strong. She believes that if they pray sincerely God will listen.
Dua shares that she learned a special prayer at school and wants to sing it for Neetu because it has magical power. She motivates everyone and asks people in the hospital to join her in praying for Neetu. As Dua sings the prayer the atmosphere turns emotional. Dhariya observes that whenever he sees Dua like this, he feels she can change everyone’s destiny.
At the same time Vikrant thinks that no matter how much he tries to stay away from Mannat fate keeps bringing them together. Their paths and destinations may have changed, but destiny keeps crossing their lives.
Vikrant arrives at the hospital.
After finishing the prayer Dua distributes holy offerings to everyone and offers it to Vikrant too. She is shocked to see him and almost loses her balance but Vikrant and Mannat both hold her at the same time saving her from falling. Ronnie and Dhariya are stunned witnessing this moment. Ronnie tells Dua to continue distributing the offering to others.
Mannat questions Vikrant about his sudden arrival and asks how he learned about Neetu’s health. Vikrant replies that he came because Dua needs him. Mannat is left speechless.
Dua silently prays that God sends an angel to help them and fix everything quickly. Later Bunty shows Dua her massive competition hoarding. She is shocked to see her face displayed publicly.
Precap: Vikrant shows Dua’s poster to Mannat and says he does not know how Dua posed for it. But because of this unexpected mistake he has no choice but to include Dua officially in the competition. Mannat strongly refuses and declares that Dua has no connection with him or his competition.The conflict is set to intensify.
