In the 26th February 2025 episode of Maati Se Bandhi Dor, Vaiju surprises everyone as she becomes the new self-defense teacher, but faces humiliation. Ranvijay defends her, recognizing her efforts for Vayu and the orphanage kids. Despite his support, Vaiju feels unwelcome and decides to leave. Will she return, or is this goodbye forever?
The episode begins with Vaiju encouraging Vayu to play a game. When Vayu asks about basketball, she reassures him that he will learn it over time. Vani helps Vayu understand how to use the basketball, and soon, he starts dancing with Vaiju while Vani plays the drum. Vaiju brings the basketball and shows Vayu how to throw it. He successfully makes a basket, and he and Vaiju share a happy hug.
Just then, Ranvijay arrives and is pleasantly surprised to see the moment. Vayu excitedly tells him about his achievement and gives all the credit to Vaiju, saying he just followed her instructions. Ranvijay is proud of Vayu, and in a moment of joy, he holds Vaiju’s hands. But then, he remembers that she had sold their engagement ring and quickly pulls away.
Meanwhile, Vani takes Vayu to a small tent called Khushi Mahal, saying it is a place full of happiness. She gives him a drawing and shows him a dress that Vaiju made for her. Vayu asks her to wear it at Jaya and Ranvijay’s anniversary party, but Vani says she wants to wear it when she meets her father. Vayu keeps trying to convince her to attend the party.
At the orphanage, Ranvijay, Jaya, and Vasundhara donate to the children. Niharika asks if Vayu knows he was adopted. Jaya firmly says that he does not and will never be told. Later, they show Ranvijay the new recreational area and tell him that a self-defense teacher has been hired. Ranvijay suggests that the teacher should inaugurate the place, but Niharika insists that he do it instead. Jaya proposes a joint inauguration.
However, everyone is shocked when the self-defense teacher turns out to be Vaiju. Niharika formally introduces her to Ranvijay. Vasundhara insults Vaiju, but Niharika defends her, saying she passed the interview process fairly. Vasundhara demands they hire another teacher. Feeling unwelcome, Vaiju decides to leave.
Before she can go, Ranvijay steps in and says she is the perfect choice for the job. He praises her skills and insists no one else is more qualified. Vasundhara takes Ranvijay aside and expresses her disapproval. However, he convinces her that Vaiju has helped them a lot, especially by supporting Vayu. He believes her presence will help many children. Despite his support, Jaya informs him that Vaiju has already left.
