RK demands that Armaan make a choice between Abhira and Shivani, warning him that he won’t allow him to have both. Armaan is left to contemplate the tough decision, while Abhira searches for him. However, Armaan ignores RK’s demand. Shivani, curious, asks RK what’s going on. He explains to both her and Abhira that he has asked Armaan to choose. Shivani questions Abhira about RK’s ultimatum, to which Abhira reminds her that she is Armaan’s wife and that her actions at the hospital were only professional. She decides to support Armaan, while Shivani steps in to handle RK.
Armaan feels conflicted and restless about the choice he must make between Abhira and Shivani. He struggles with the idea of not being able to have everything in his life. Meanwhile, Abhira chooses to stay away, believing it’s best not to influence his decision, hoping he will choose wisely. Armaan, sensing her presence, is taken aback when Abhira confesses her love for him. The following morning, Shivani informs Abhira that Armaan has gone somewhere with RK and urges her to find him.
When Abhira confronts Armaan, she asks if he has chosen Shivani. To her surprise, Armaan admits that he has made the choice to be with Shivani. Abhira agrees, accepting his decision. Armaan, feeling guilty, asks if he has hurt her and confesses that destiny is punishing him for causing her pain. He believes she will be better off without him.

In a shocking twist, RK reveals that he was testing Armaan to see if he would prioritize Shivani the way RK does. He commends Armaan’s sacrifice and admires his large heart, leaving both Armaan and Abhira stunned.
