Rahi beams with joy as she admires her haldi outfit, leaving the Shahs intrigued by her reaction. She insists that its simplicity makes it beautiful. However, Meeta has also selected an outfit for her, earning Khyati’s admiration. Baa proudly states that she requested Meeta to pick the attire, and Khyati urges Parag to approve. Feeling disregarded, Parag voices his frustration. Meanwhile, Baa questions Prem about his lingering resentment, but he firmly declares his decision to stay separate. He then surprises everyone by revealing his plan to move to Mumbai with Rahi after marriage so they can complete their degrees.

During a conversation with the priest, Anupamaa accidentally collides with a mysterious man, struggling to place where she has seen him before. Meanwhile, Rahi stands her ground and refuses to wear the outfit chosen by the Kotharis, determined to wear the dress designed by Pari.

As the Kotharis and the Shahs gather for Rahi and Prem’s haldi ceremony, Anupamaa grows increasingly uneasy about the mysterious man’s presence. Tensions rise when Baa lashes out at Rahi for rejecting the outfit Meeta chose, arguing that a lot of effort went into selecting it. Rahi firmly defends her decision, emphasizing that Pari’s dress was designed with love. Anupamaa intervenes, suggesting a compromise—Rahi should wear both outfits.
