Suddenly she notices that Dua is missing. Vishakha is shocked. Aishwarya immediately questions her about Dua’s whereabouts. Vishakha replies that Dua was just there a moment ago and she has no idea where she went.
Aishwarya loses her temper and says that if their trump card Dua slips out of their hands Vikrant will leave them with nothing even begging won’t be an option. She calls it a huge mistake and orders Ravindra to find Dua at any cost.
Vikrant and Mannat Get a Lead
Meanwhile Vikrant is holding Mannat’s hand visibly emotional as he realizes her importance. Bunty calls Mannat and informs her that Vikrant is not answering his phone so he is calling from another number. He shows Dua on the call. Seeing Dua safe Mannat becomes emotional shocked and relieved.
Vikrant and Mannat ask Dua where she is but she says she doesn’t know just that it looks like some chawl area. Vikrant tells Dua and Bunty to look around carefully for any landmark like a board temple or school.
Yashika Feels the Plan Falling Apart
Yashika grows frustrated seeing Vikrant constantly supporting Mannat. She realizes that bringing Mallika here as part of the plan might backfire. Her dream and hard work seem on the verge of collapsing. She decides she may need to go back to Vikrant and pretend to help him to save herself.
Dua and Bunty Try to Stay Safe
Bunty spots a board that reads Swapna Sadan Chawl. Dua shares the name with Vikrant and Mannat. Mannat recalls that this is the same place where everything had once begun making her emotional.
Vikrant tells Dua and Bunty to find a safe place to hide until he reaches them. They agree and begin searching for a hiding spot.
Yashika arrives and asks Vikrant where he is going insisting on joining him to help. Vikrant tells her he will explain later and asks her to stay back keep an eye on Mallika and take care of Ronnie. Despite her repeated insistence Vikrant firmly refuses and leaves with Mannat.
Yashika is left frustrated and demands at least to know where he is going but he ignores her and walks away.
Aishwarya and Vishakha’s Ugly Confrontation
Aishwarya vents her anger at Vishakha saying she feels like strangling her because she couldn’t even handle a small child. She reminds her that Mallika is already with them and their truth is exposed they cannot afford to lose Dua.
Vishakha defends herself saying she doesn’t understand how Dua escaped when she was tied up. Aishwarya calls her foolish and says she deserves to be in jail. Vishakha hits back blaming Aishwarya for everything. She reminds her how she threw Mannat away after birth but couldn’t kill her and now Mannat has grown up won Vikrant’s trust and turned everything against them. She lists how Aishwarya separated Vikrant from his loved ones his parents, Ronnie, Neetu, Mannat and even Dhairya.
She further accuses Aishwarya of blindly falling into Mannat’s trap believing her illness story and kidnapping Mallika as per her plan. Now because of her foolishness Vikrant knows the truth and they might have to flee the country. Vishakha bluntly calls Aishwarya the real fool.

Vishakha shaken realizes Aishwarya might be right if Vikrant finds out everything in anger he could destroy them completely.
Vikrant and Mannat Recall Their Past

Mannat says he trusted her without proof back then even when the world stood against her. Vikrant admits she is right and apologizes saying his current trust comes with guilt for not believing her earlier.
He explains that when he first saw Aishwarya as Arzoo he had doubts and conducted an investigation but all evidence pointed toward her false identity which misled him.
Mallika Tries to Escape
Mallika struggles to free herself and realizes Mannat has played a big game exchanging her for Dua. She understands that as long as Dua is with Aishwarya she is safe but if Vikrant brings Dua back she will be exposed.
She decides she must escape and warn Aishwarya but doesn’t know how. She wonders why Yashika isn’t helping her. Meanwhile Yashika comes to untie Mallika but notices Ronnie approaching.
