Today’s episode starts with Mannat asking Dhairya what happened. Dhairya says that he always believed that Dua and Mannat were his family. He thought Ronnie and Neetu were his world but now nothing will remain the same. He says his biggest mistake was not understanding earlier that the relationship he was living in was never written in his destiny. He was trying to find his place in a story where he never truly had a role. Dhairya emotionally says that this family was never his and he has no right over them.
Mannat gets shocked and tells him not to speak like that. She says Dua belongs to him and he is Dua’s father. She reminds him that he is the foundation of this family. Mannat says they are best friends and together they created this family so he cannot suddenly say that he has no place in it.
Vikrant Apologizes to Dhairya
Vikrant tells Dhairya that for seven years this family was his reality and he can understand what Dhairya is feeling. He recalls how broken he felt when he lost Mannat and thought only he could see love in her eyes. Vikrant apologizes to Dhairya and admits that everything happened because of him.
Dhairya says that Vikrant is his elder brother and an elder brother’s duty is to keep the family united not break it apart. He warns Vikrant not to hurt Mannat’s heart. The two brothers hug each other while Mannat feels emotional seeing them reunite.
Yashika Tries to Poison Neetu Against Mannat
Meanwhile Yashika provokes Neetu by saying that Mannat and Vikrant only asked Dhairya to stay because of Dua. She questions whether Dua will truly accept Vikrant as her father. Yashika says the biggest problem is Mannat and Dhairya’s friendship because Mannat’s respect and emotional attachment toward Dhairya will never let him leave.
She indirectly asks Neetu whether Mannat’s feelings for Dhairya are really just friendship or something more. Neetu scolds Yashika for even thinking like that and says Mannat only loves Vikrant.
Yashika pretends to apologize but continues filling Neetu’s heart with doubts. She says no one sacrifices seven years of life for someone unless they deeply love them. She reminds Neetu that Dhairya could have moved on built a new family and focused on his career but instead he chose Mannat and Dua. Yashika says it feels strange that Mannat keeps supporting Dhairya over everything. Neetu becomes deeply confused after hearing all this.
Ronnie Warns Neetu
Ronnie hears and confront Yashika He advises Neetu not to listen to outsiders. He says Yashika is trying to create distance between Vikrant and Dhairya. Ronnie defends Dhairya and says he genuinely loves Vikrant and is a good person.
Yashika again pretends to apologize and leaves. Neetu questions Ronnie for speaking harshly to Yashika because she believes Yashika is Vikrant’s true friend. Ronnie says he does not know Yashika’s real intentions but one thing is clear she does not truly want Vikrant’s happiness. He asks Neetu to learn how to judge people correctly. However Neetu refuses to listen and says time will reveal who is right.
Dhairya Decides to Leave the House
Later Dhairya tries to explain his decision to Vikrant and Mannat. Mannat says Dua will completely break down without him and will hate her parents for separating her from her baba.
Dhairya emotionally admits that he treated this family as his own and cannot accept the reality that it never belonged to him. He says Mannat loves Vikrant and he never had any place in her heart except as a friend. He confesses that he secretly dreamt of building a life with her but it was never Mannat’s fault.
Dhairya further says that Vikrant is Dua’s real father and he accepts that completely. He has no problem with Vikrant being part of the family but emotionally he cannot continue living there. Mannat refuses to let him go and says Dua’s happiness matters the most.
Dhairya Confesses His Feelings for Mannat
Dhairya says Mannat that he never realised what was happening in his heart. Dhairya tells Mannat that she made him feel so safe in their friendship that he himself never realized when his feelings changed. He says she never gave him false hope but his heart still created dreams of a future with her. Now those dreams are shattered.
Mannat becomes shocked hearing his confession. Dhairya says he knows Mannat can never love anyone more than Vikrant and he always understood that truth. Still he made the mistake of imagining a life with her. He says he now needs time to accept reality.
Vikrant blames himself for the situation and says he only thought about getting his family back after learning the truth. He never stopped to think about Dhairya whose entire world he was unknowingly taking away. Vikrant sincerely apologizes to him.
Mannat apologizes for not understanding his feelings earlier. She says she trusted their friendship so deeply that she never realized what was happening in his heart. She says she can only ask for forgiveness now.
Mannat and Vikrant Choose Dua’s Happiness
Mannat begs Dhairya to stay for Dua’s sake but Dhairya says Dua will become more confused if both he and Vikrant stay around her together. He believes Dua will eventually accept Vikrant if he leaves.
Mannat strongly disagrees and says Dua will never forgive them for separating her from the man who raised her like a father. Dhairya explains that everything he ever did was selfless because he considered them his family but he is also human and watching his dreams turn into someone else’s reality is extremely painful. He says his leaving is necessary because he does not want to emotionally hurt everyone anymore.
Mannat says if Dua’s happiness is connected to Dhairya then she cannot snatch that happiness away from her daughter.
Vikrant supports Mannat’s decision and says neither of them will compromise with Dua’s happiness. He says if Mannat can make such a sacrifice as a mother then he too can step back as Dua’s father. Vikrant admits he wanted Mannat’s companionship forever but not at the cost of Dua’s pain.
Mallika Manipulates Yuvi Against Dua
Elsewhere Mallika manipulates Yuvi against Dua. She tells him that now Vikrant has found his real daughter Dua Yuvi no longer matters to him. She says Vikrant will only care about Dua from now onward.
Yuvi becomes furious and fears that Vikrant will send him away to boarding school because of Dua. He angrily says Dua cannot take Vikrant away from him. Mallika secretly feels happy seeing Yuvi’s anger growing.
Dua and Yuvi Argument
Later Bunty asks Dua why she looks upset. Dua says everyone is telling her that Vikrant is her father and she has to stay with him but Dhairya is her real father and she does not want him to leave.
Yuvi comes there and angrily tells Dua that she is taking his place in the house. Dua replies that she never came there by choice and says Yuvi has no manners. Yuvi tries to push Dua but Bunty warns him that if Vikrant finds out he will throw Yuvi out of the house because Dua is Vikrant’s real daughter.
Mallika pretends to scold Yuvi but secretly uses the situation to brainwash Dua against Vikrant and Yuvi’s bond. She says Yuvi is only reacting because he loves Vikrant deeply.
Mallika then leaves while thinking that Yuvi’s anger will help her stop Dua from accepting Vikrant as her father.
Vikrant Refuses to Lose Dua
Mannat again pleads with Dhairya not to leave with Dua. Dhairya says Dua is still a child and although she will feel angry for some time eventually she will feel happy living with her real parents.
Mannat says Dua will instead hate the parents who separated her from the man who raised her with love. Vikrant agrees with Mannat and says Dua will never be able to handle the pain of losing Dhairya. Dhairya insists that he only wants Dua’s happiness and does not want her to remain confused between two fathers.
Vikrant then emotionally asks Dhairya whether leaving means he will stay away from Dua forever.
Precap: Mannat tells Dua that she is genuinely happy about Vikrant and her marriage. Dua says if Mannat is happy then she is happy too. Later Vikrant proposes marriage to Mannat.
However Dhairya silently decides to destroy Vikrant and Mannat’s wedding and turn their most awaited marriage into the most disastrous celebration ever.
