Today’s episode Armaan gently explains to Abhira that constantly worrying around Vani will only make the child feel unsafe as if something bad could happen to her at any moment. He believes the best way forward is to treat Vani normally and bring routine back into her life. Sending her to school meeting friends and engaging in everyday activities could help distract her mind and offer comfort. Armaan even suggests informing the school and asks Abhira which school Vani attends but Abhira admits she doesn’t know. Armaan reassures her that he can ask Vani himself while Abhira shares that Vani hasn’t opened up fully yet. Armaan calmly reminds her that Vani is still in shock and together they will handle everything. Abhira feels comforted by Armaan’s maturity and silently believes he will understand the truth when it comes out.
Abhira’s Inner Conflict and the Burden of Truth
Armaan asks Abhira about how Vani’s parents passed away. She mentions that her mother died due to illness and her father in an accident. Abhira feels this is the moment to reveal the complete truth trusting that Armaan is sensible enough to understand. She believes he deserves to know what really happened and

Krish reminds her that he already apologised to Armaan and doesn’t need to isolate himself. Tanya helps Vani with water. Mira returns home with Madhav and Vidya. Everyone tries to make Vani comfortable and encourages her to eat breakfast but she remains scared and distant.
Abhira nervously finishes her coffee in one go and Armaan cautions her about the heat. Just as Abhira gathers courage to speak Vidya interrupts and asks Armaan to speak to Kaveri’s doctor instead.
The family tries to distract Vani by turning on cartoons during breakfast but suddenly news related to Meher flashes on the screen. Sanjay stops Tanya from changing the channel. Vani freezes in shock as the news continues. Abhira pleads with Vidya to let her tell Armaan the truth but Vidya insists Armaan is not emotionally strong enough. She fears the truth will destroy Armaan, Miara, Vani, and the entire family. Vidya begs Abhira to drop the idea completely.
Mittal calls Armaan to inform him that news related to him is airing. Armaan reacts with concern saying that while he is glad Meher survived Rajat’s wife and children must be traumatised. He asks for Rajat’s address but Mittal avoids answering. Hearing Rajat’s name Vani suddenly points at the TV and calls him her father. Armaan is stunned. Abhira quickly switches off the TV as Vani breaks down.
Abhira’s Emotional Support Vani’s
As tension rises Vani panics and runs away. Abhira chases her and saves her from falling. She gently calms Vani asking her to breathe and assuring her she will keep her distance until Vani is ready. Vani holds onto Abhira’s saree overwhelmed with emotion while Abhira struggles to hold back tears.
Later Armaan informs Manoj and Sanjay that they will be the only board members of the Poddar firm. He hands them important case files and wishes them luck stating that he will not hand over control of the firm to anyone else.
Meanwhile Abhira worries about how she will explain to Vani what she saw on TV.
Vidya suggests Abhira sending Vani away to a hostel or orphanage to prevent the truth from coming out. Abhira firmly refuses reminding her that Anita entrusted Vani to her. Vidya warns that keeping Vani at home is risky but Abhira says the truth will surface sooner or later and she will not destroy a child’s life knowingly especially when everyone shares responsibility for her situation.
Meher visits Armaan at the firm and Armaan tells Manoj and Sanjay that she and Mittal will be silent partners. She clarifies that she won’t interfere in legal matters as she doesn’t understand law. Sanjay questioned about her investment Meher reveals that Armaan saved her life and for her his partnership is beyond profit and loss.
She schedules a meeting for the 17th but Armaan refuses calling it a personal matter.
Krish overhears this conversation and becomes curious about the truth Abhira is hiding. Abhira decides she will reveal everything to Armaan only after the 17th.
Krish receives a call about his credit card bill. Tanya pays it and advises him to join the Poddar firm. Krish says Armaan insulted him earlier. Tanya explains that Armaan is not bad and may forgive him someday.
Krish thinks if he finds out Abhira’s secret and tells Armaan first Armaan might forgive him.
At home Armaan helps Miara with homework as Vani watches silently. When Miara asks about Vani’s father Armaan notices a newspaper and a TV clip highlighting the significance of the 17th. Elsewhere Meher instructs her staff to find out why Armaan is unavailable on that date.
