Gayatri is forced to defend Vihaan due to his blackmail, leading to shocking consequences. Meanwhile, Raunak secretly buys a special gift for Prarthna, unaware of the storm brewing ahead.
The episode opens with Prarthna leaving Raunak’s room, only for Smita to notice Raunak calling after her, reminding her about the ankle bracelet she left behind. Meanwhile, a humiliated Vihaan, burning with revenge, persistently tries to contact Sneha. Frustrated by his calls, she ultimately blocks his number.
The next morning, both Raunak and Prarthna find themselves lost in thoughts of each other. Their quiet moments are interrupted when Seema reminds Prarthna of her kitchen responsibilities, prompting her to step in and help. Elsewhere, Vihaan, still fuming, confronts Gayatri and blames her and Prarthna for ruining his reputation. Determined to turn things in his favor, he blackmails Gayatri with a doctored video, coercing her into convincing Sneha that he is innocent. Hesitantly, Gayatri agrees to his demands.
During breakfast, Kranti shares exciting news about the company’s recent success and announces rewards for everyone’s hard work. Raunak, having achieved the highest sales, decides to buy a special gift for someone close to his heart. Meanwhile, Smita reprimands the chef for preparing Hitesh’s favorite dessert, sternly reminding everyone that love marriages—especially with families of lower status—are unacceptable in their household.
Later, Gayatri approaches Sneha, falsely praising Vihaan and handing over his phone, claiming that he attempted suicide. Meanwhile, Raunak, secretly thinking of Prarthna, purchases the delicate necklace she once admired.
Elsewhere, Vihaan crosses paths with Prarthna, but she responds to his presence with a firm slap, fueling his rage. Seething with anger, he vows revenge, warning her that she will regret this encounter.
