Teju apologizes to Juhi, who questions the reason. Aditi explains it’s because Juhi’s wedding to Neil didn’t happen. Prajakta remarks that while Neil’s actions were wrong, the outcome was ultimately for the best, as neither would have been happy in that marriage. Teju suspects Neil manipulated Juhi for his own gain.
Meanwhile, Mukta approaches Leena, asking her to give Teju a chance and assuring her of Teju’s goodness. Leena insists she has no issue with Teju or her family and reveals she has arranged a gift for them. She then asks Amruta to start the Gondhal ceremony.
During the ritual, Neil is asked to break chains using his mouth but, recalling Teju and Rituraj’s conversation, breaks them with his hands in anger, upsetting the Pradhan family. Teju then performs a torch dance, which Neil tries to match but injures himself. Rituraj mocks Neil, takes over the performance, and accidentally burns his hand, prompting the family to rush to his aid.
Suddenly, the police arrive to arrest Juhi and her family, following Leena’s complaint alleging bride replacement fraud. The Pradhans urge Leena to withdraw the complaint, and she agrees—but only if Juhi reveals the real reason she left the wedding. Juhi admits feeling unworthy of their family, but Leena calls it a lie and insists on their arrest.
Teju intervenes, publicly revealing that Neil is the real reason the wedding fell apart. She exposes that Neil proposed to her despite being engaged to Juhi, then tried to sabotage Juhi’s confidence by claiming he loved Teju and couldn’t keep Juhi happy. Neil admits his mistake, and the police leave.
Later, Mukta slaps Teju for disgracing the Pradhan family to protect the Chavans, but Leena interrupts, demanding an end to the drama and warning that she’ll leave the house if Teju doesn’t.
