I do 8 October 2022: Khan begum says that today she shall be presented for the munh dikhayi ceremony. khan begum finds mahira sullen, and she asks whats the matter as her happiness shall lighten up the room. mahira says tyhat she has been rejected by azad the next day of their marriage, then how can she be happy. begum tells her that the rejection isnt because azad doesnt love her, but because he loves her immensely. She says that she has to make his love powerful, and that their relation should be so strong, that it fights off the most severe of evil forces. She drapes a dupatta around mahira, saying that this is azad’s favourite colour, and he would love to see her in this, and wont be able to take his eyes off. She says that with the munh dikhayi ceremony, she would tell everyone that she is the bahu, the respect and the pride of this house, and asks mahira to promise that she would never leave azad’s company as his wife.
begum leaves. afreen thinks that azad wants to discard mahira as his wife, and begum herself wants to give utmost respect to mahira. Afreen thinks that she shall take mahira’s place in the ritual. she throws an ornament, on the floor, when kainat comes across from the other end, as instructed by begum to get mahira down. kainat thinks that it must be mahira’s, and takes it to her room, and compliments her that she is indeed looking very bful. She places the ornament on the dressing table, and then goes to the washroom to frehsn up. Mahira takes the ornament, while afreen waits impatiently for her to wear it. mahira dons it on her waist, much to her glee.
While getting dressed for the ceremony, mahira falls unconscious on the dressing table, and then afreen places her aside, and takes over her shape through her morphing ring. She then dons the ghunghat over herself anf sits in front of the dressing table.Downstairs, mahira is brought by kainat and the guests ask begum to start the ceremony. the ritual begins and all start complimenting her on her beauty. She starts callously commenting. afreen shows the least interest for the ceremony and disrespects the elders, and they start talking. she takes off the ghunghat asking them to look once and for all. they are all shocked and taunt khan begum that she has found the most disrespectful of the bahus.
khan begum tries to salvage while she is irritated and then puts the ghunghat back on, but she doesnt comply. mahira tells her that it would be nice if she doesnt interfere in what she wants or doesnt want. She says that she wont stand these stupid rituals as she is a modern girl, and doesnt believe in such orthodox rituals, and she cant show off at all. She says that its better she goes off to her room. She starts walking, while khan begum and all are shocked and outraged. As she gets up, she deliberately takes off the lower end of the lehenga, and reveals that she is wearing shimmy lingerie underneath her long ghunghat, amused at what impression it would cast about mahira to the guests. All are shocked. mahira’s family is mortified, while the guests are ostracised, and start taunting.
afreen thinks that she has made this ritual very unique and has completely tainted her forever. They tell begum that mahira made a drama of their respect. gazalla tries to help her wear it, but she dons it away. mahira says that they are doing drama and asks them to get lost. They comment as to how ill mannered and shameless girl this is. mahira asks how do they know what kind of a girl azad wants, and asks if their advice was seked. She asks them to understand that begum’s son loves her and likes her in these clothes. Khan begum eyes the blue hand, and understands that its afreen and its her trap, as mahira cant do this and wonders where is the true mahira. She turns to gazalla and tells her everything. Gazalla leaves from there hurriedly and goes to the room, where on the other side, sameer has mahira’s body in his arms to dispose her off.
Finally she opens the door, and calls out for mahira, but doesnt find that he has hidden mahira in the bathroom. as she is about to move out, sameer meanwhile takes the real mahira and bundles her up and carries her out of the room. gazalla instinctively turns around and then follows sameer, not having seen him yet. he places her inside a room, and on the floor, and the bracelet that caused her unconscious state falls off. he then locks the room and leaves. gazalla reaches there scared of begum, and thinks that she definitely heard someone’s voice. she tries on the doorknob, and wonders why is it locked, and rushes down to tell begum.
inside the room, mahira wakes up from her unconscious state, and then sees the bracelet. She is startled and tries to open the door, but isnt able to. she is frustrated and then finds a window, and then makes a big rope of the sheets.Downstairs, mahira aka afreen keeps insulting the guests that she has a hot body and is hence flaunting it, unlike them. the guests ask begum if they have been called to be insulted and asks her to reprimand this girl. begum says that they are right and this shameless girl cant be their bahu, as she has tainted the name of this house and this family, and shall definitely be punished for this. she comes upto mahira.
Khan begum raises her hand to slap her, but mahira stops her hand by holding it midway, shocking everyone. Khan begum is furious. she says that she hasnt married the rules and regulations of this house, but azad, and hence begum cant punish her for this. she says that if she feels she has made a mistake and needs to be punished, then only azad can do so. she says that she married azad and came here and if he tells her to go, then only she shall gladly go. begum turns to the guests and apologises on the girl’s behalf, and asks them to come and have food. they resignedly comply.
In the kitchen, gazalla tries to talk about anand kumar’s locked room to latif, and latif says begum keeps anad inside so that he isnt disturbed as he isnt keeping well. gazsalla says that she knows as begum told her. she says that she is doing the work. latif thinks that begum told her everything about anand’s murder, and then gives the key saying that she too shall go with her, when gazalla asks for the keys. they rush to open the lock, while mahira inside is alert and before she can snoop and find out anand kumar’s dead body in the suitcase, she dives out the window.
At the dining table, afreen continues to insult the guests that they are so hungry for food, and didnt even remember that they were planning to go. She sits callously on the lap of another guests. She says that since the function is in her name, she should eat first. she tastes the food. she then insults begum too at the third grade food and starts throwing the plate away in disgust. the guests arent able to bear any longer, while begum says that she shall get another food served. the guests ask her to handle the house first, and then guests, and that they shall come only when her son throws this girl out of the house, disrespecting her. begum is apalled, while mahira is amused. Khan begum throws her plate of food away, and then reprimands mahira for having behaved this way and disrespected them completely in front of guests.
She asks what shall begum do now. Afreen asks if she shall get azad and ask him to throw her out. khan begum asks that this is exactly what she wants, addressing her as Afreen. she says that she knows what she is doing and asks her not to be oversmart. mahira aka afreen is shocked and then asks why does she feel so, and then asks her to understand where is mahira. she asks if she shall call azad now to save her, as one day or the other, she has to go, and hollers her to get azad. khan begum is tensed. But she eyes the actual mahira coming in, and gets alert. the screen freezes on mahira, afreen and begum’s faces.
Khan begum tries top keep afreen engaged and asks if she really thinks that she can play this gamer and call azad as per her wishes, and that evil should try her hand playing with more evil, as when she presents the good side of mahira, to her, she would be defeated. afreen aka mahira is set to thinking. mahira meanwhile walks inside the drawing room. mahira walks up to the dining table, and when afreen dressed as mahira, turns around, mahira slaps her tight across the face and she is in a rage as she comes to her actual form. Afreen goes on and tries to her but khan begum holds and wrenches her hand. She then tries to slap khan begum but mahira stops her. mahira tells her that khan begum is her mother in law, and she wont ahve anyone ever disrespecting or insulting her, and that afreen shall regret it is she does things like this.
Afreen angrily says that she shall regret it now. They both grasp her both hads, and she tries to struggle free. khan begum slaps again. mahira asks if she never thought hAfreen says that she cant do anything, as she is a mere mortal in front of her, and wont be able to do anything, and asks if she didnt see what she did to the guests today, nor would the guests come till she is thrown out. she says that she has all plans to capture azad, as mahira herself shall go to azad but mahira shall be helpless. Mahira says that face changing doesnt ensure anything, as she wont get her husband’s immense love, and as far as azad is concerned, he shall find that she isnt mahira in a minute. mahira says that if she prides her and her dark forces, then she challenges her to do anything that she can to get azad, but she shall fail. afreen says that she prides her love and she shall break this ego of hers, as azad shall be with her, and mahira wont be able to do anything, thats her challenge. she walks off from there.
khan begum and mahira are tensed. Begum asks mahira to ensure that only her love wins, but they cant ignore the magnitude of her evil forces. mahira asks her not to bother, as those who are blessed by the lord and true love, they always win. begum says that she should go to azad right now and asks her to be cautious. mahira leaves.meanwhile, begum asks latif an gazalla to open the suitcase. they find anad’s body completely stiff. She asks them to take it out and get it in the car. they put him in the back seat, while she arranges his muffler, and then applies makeup, to make it seem like he is alive. Gazalla is asked to start the car. she complies and drives off.

In his room, azad thinks that before afreen tries to harm mahira, he shall have to send her to a safe place. mahira comes in with tea, and asks him to have it. he turns around and says that he doesnt need it. In doing so his hand accidentally collides with the tray and ithe cups fall on the ground, shattering to pieces. She finds him tensed and asks if he is angry with her. He asks her to stay away from him, as his company can only bring storms in her life. She says that together their love can brave any storm. he says that afreen is evil and can even take her life. mahira says that if she could, she would have taken it, and she doesnt want her life, but her defeat, and assures him that their love shall not be defeated as they are too strong.
just then, he gets a call. On the road, Khan begum calls azad and tells him that she is taking anand kumar to the hospital for his checkup. he gets tensed. She says that he neednt worry as gazalla and latif are there with her. She tells him that sameer and his family are coming to see kainat, and he and mahira should attend to all the preparations. she cancels the call. he tells this to mahira. she asks him not to bother, as she shall handle everything as the ideal bahu. She gives him a suit and then asks him to get ready while she gets kainat and the other arrangements ready. She leaves. he wonders how would he be able to save her from the evil spirits and that he doesnt deserve her love.

She gets him inside to bless everyone, while afreen aka mahira is tensed. the actual mahira smiles, and prays that the peer baba has come, and the lord should do a miracle that the devil’s identity is exposed.
After everyone has taken the holy smoke, afreen is scared that her true face might be exposed due to the smoke. but helplessly, she too begins to take the smoke. mahira is shocked as afreen tries to ward off the smoke, being highly uncomfortable, and her shape shifting becoming uncertain as the silver cutlery starts reflecting her true face intermittently.

Kainat asks for azad’s permission to see them off. He complies. then, mahira takes azad to the room, citing some important talk, taking his hand in hers. they enter the room and close it off. Then azad asks whats it, and mahira says that nothing is more imp than him for her, being a wife. she says that he hasnt accepted her truely. he says that he has told her they cant be together. She says that they are husband and wife, and noone can separate them. He tries to speak, but she hugs him, and he gets tensed.
Afreen sees this through the doors and is furious. involuntarily, his hands too come up to hug her back, smiling and revelling in that warm feeling, while afreen is enraged. He then turns away saying that this cant be, and asks whats he doing. she says that she should have done this long back, as she is taking whats rightfully hers. he says that he shall have to stay away from her. she says that even death cant do them apart now, as she eyes him determinedly. He feels her stare, but turns away. mahira sees afreen looking and smiles and then shuts the door on her face. Afreen asks how can this be, as she wont let this happen at any cost, and cant let them be one. She eyes the raging weather.
Later in the night, mahira dresses up beautifully, and closes the drapes, saying that tonight, moonlight cant seep in this room. she then lights up candles, for a romantic setting. Azad comes out of the washroom and notices mahira’s efforts and asks whats this, and if she remembers its the full moon, as tonight a person who hates himself cant love her. mahira comes and says that hatred has to buckle under love, and asks him to understand that they shall start their new life together, and she shall forever be with him, and from now on, every trouble has to face her, before facing him. she promises and assures that everything would be normal, and then professes her love, By saying, I LOVE YOU, to him. He is still tensed, and gets ahead, but she holds him back.
She eyes him, while he fights between what he wants and what he has to do. Mahira tries to get romantic with azd in the room, as she places her head on his shoulder, while he is tensed and at discomfort, having to fight his feelings for her. he then smiles finally and turns around to face her, and cups her face, and kisses her on the forehead, and she smiles shyly, getting emotional and teary eyes. he wipes the tears off her eyes, and kisses off the remaining wet splotches near her eyes. They both bask in the glory of their new found love. she then closes her eyes, as he leans in to kiss her, on the lips.
Outside, Afreen thinks that despite her wearning, mahira didnt learn a lesson, but she forgot that tonight is the night, that turns azad into an animal. She says that if mahira stays tonight with azad, then her death is guaranteed, and in a few hours, her win and mahira’s death shall be confirmed. She then eyes the crystal in her hand, as its full moon. the screen freezes on her, azad and mahira’s faces.
