Pakhi notices Adhik struggling to fix the badge on his shirt and says its okay if he doesn’t want to have it. He says he will if she fixes it. She shyingly tries to fix it. He asks her to get more closer and comments that she looks pretty in this dress. She feels shy and immensely happy. Samar notices them and asks Pakhi what is happening. Pakhi says nothing and less. Samar thinks attraction is common in this age, but it shouldn’t happen.
Anupama with all the mother bathe Kinjal and get her ready for her baby shower ceremony. They all dance on Vaari Jaawa.. song. Kinjal emotionally a mother who has love and care of so many mothers doesn’t need anything. Anupama clicks their selfies. Vanraj gets photos and message from Samar and feels happy. He tells Kavya that the ceremony should finish peacefully. Kavya says it will. Anuj jokes with Ankush that he is the first person who is becoming a grandfather at such an young age. Ankush asks where is the real grandfather Vanraj. Anuj says Vanraj would have created a problem if he was present here, anyways he deserves to be here.
Samar notices Toshu nervous and asks him to relax. Toshu says he now realized how Vanraj feels being a father and asks if he sent pics to Vanraj. Samar says he did already. They both hug each other calling themselves papa and chachu. Hasmukh, GK, and Jignesh also joke with each other and laugh.
Pakhi announces that all the mothers are bringing Kinjal. Anuapama and others bring Kinjal for the ceremony. Jignesh says their bahu/DIL is looking very beautiful. Kinjal’s sari gets stuck in her anklet and she slips. Anuj holds her on time and asks her to be careful. They all make Kinjal sit on the chair.
Vanraj video calls Leela during break and excitedly asks if Kinjal is happy. Leela shows Kinjal’s face. Vanraj prays god for her happiness and asks Leela to zoom out the camera. She does. Vanraj gets angry seeing Anuj perform ritual in his place and recalls Anuj’s words that he became Anupama’s husband and soon will become her children’s father. Anuj tells everyone that Vanraj should have been present here as he is baby’s real grandfather. Rakhi snatches phone from Leela and addresses Vanraj as ex-samdhiji. Vanraj congratulates her for her daughter’s baby shower ceremony.
Rakhi taunts him that she is calling him ex-samdhiji as Anuj has taken over his place and performing all the rituals. Vanraj burns in anger seeing that. Leela snatches phone from Rakhi.
Anupama calls everyone to listen to her and Anuj’s poem. They both recite a long shayari describing each family member’s love for the baby. Kinjal and Toshu thank them all for making the ceremony a memorable event, especially Anupama for her selfless love and care. Kinjal says she wants to be like Anupama. Anupama hugs them both emotionally. Pakhi clicks a family selfie and sends it to Vanrfaj. A slip falls from Hasmukh’s pocket. Rakhi picks it and learns that Leela is gifting her old polished bangles to Leela. She humiliates Leela that if she cannot afford new gift, she shouldn’t have gifted her old bangles to Kinjal. Anupama says its elder’s blessings.
Rakhi continues humiliating Leela. Hasmukh defends Leela and says its elder’s blessings for the baby and their family lineage and he will never allow anyone humiliate his wife, etc.
Rakhi says middle class families use words like family morales and lineage to hide their poverty. Anuj warns her to stop her drama, go home and send them a voice message instead of spoiling the ritual. Rakhi stands frowning. Anupama asks Leela to teach them the ritual. Leela explains the ritual and performs it first with Hasmukh first.
Rakhi walks to perform the ritual next, but Leela stops her and says daadi performs ritual first, so Anupama should perform the ritual. Rakhi stands frowning more. Anupama says baby needs both naani/maternal grandmother and daadi/paternal grandmother’s love and they both have right on the baby. She asks Rakhi to perform the ritual first. Rakhi performs ritual and murmurs in Kinjal’s ears for the baby to have a class and taste like her. Leela asks her what is nagin murmuring in English. Rakhi says that the baby should be like her. Leela asks why would their baby like her. Their argument starts accusing each other. Anupama asks them to continue fighting and let the baby shower ceremony go in vain, let the baby know what their grandmother and great grandmother really are. Rakhi apologizes followed by Leela.
Anuj asks them to reconcile their differences and unite for the baby. Anupama threatens to start her 5-page lecture else. They both apologize each other. Ankush and Barkha perform ritual next and give a costly gift. Kinjal says it’s too much. Barkha looking at Leela taunts that they are Kapadias and not like other who give only fruits and flowers. Dolly performs ritual next and gifts an FD for the baby. GK and Jignesh perform ritual next. Adhik and Sara perform ritual next and joke on each other. Pakhi gets emotional and cries. Samar jokes that she is crying as she will lose the status of being the youngest family member. Adhik thinks she is emotional and groovy.
Anupama calls Samar to perform a special ritual. Pakhi asks why Samar and not her. Anupama explains that this ritual is performed by Kanha of the house and describes how Samar fulfilled his responsibility of a devar/BIL, brother, friend, etc., to Kinjal. Kinjal and Toshu also praise Samar’s love and care towards them. Samar emotionally performs ritual. Anupama says its time for grandfather and grandmother to perform the ritual. She asks Pakhi to call Vanraj. Pakhi tries and finds him not reachable. Anupama and Anuj decide to step into Vanraj and Kavya’s shoes and enact how they would behave.
Everyone laughs. They both then perform ritual on Vanraj and Kavya’s behalf. Leela thanks them for performing the ritual forgetting their differences with Vanraj. Anupama then gives a long 10-page lecture (as they say) on motherhood and how the mother sacrifices and immensely loves her baby.
Rakhi cries emotionally hearing her lecture. Pakhi clicks family selfie. After the rituals, Rakhi offers juice to Barkha and says she wants to talk till the dance and other entertainments start. Anupama goes to room to get a pillow for Kinjal. Anuj walks behind her and gets romantic.
