Rano asked Pinter who locked him in the bathroom. Pinter said some kids locked him in there. Rano thought it was a prank by Rohan and Parvati. Rano opened the door and saw both Pinter and David. Rano asked Pinter and David what they were doing in the bathroom together. Pinter locked Rano in the bathroom and left with David. After a while, Rano realized that those two people had bad intentions for coming to the house.
Ansh told Ayush that he liked Shalu but there was a problem — himself. Ayush said he wanted to avoid this topic, but now that it had come up, he thought Ansh was not a good fit for Shalu. Anushka overheard their conversation and asked Ayush why he thought that. Ansh explained to Anushka that Ayush was just saying this because Shalu’s boyfriend was a friend of his, and Ayush didn’t want to hurt his friend.
Rohan and Parvati talked about Lakshmi’s surprise. Lakshmi asked what they were talking about, and they told her she had a surprise coming and to wait for it before leaving.
Lakshmi accidentally dropped a plate of sindoor and flower petals. She began to pick them up, and Rishi helped her. While helping, Rishi accidentally placed sindoor in Lakshmi’s hairline while brushing her hair back. Embarrassed, he told Lakshmi he had work to do and quickly left. Rishi worried that Lakshmi would be upset when she realized what happened and prayed to God for help.
Anushka asked Ayush if he was Shalu’s boyfriend. Ansh overheard and assumed Shalu was having an affair with Ayush, making rude comments about Shalu to Ayush. Furious, Ayush fought with Ansh. Anushka stopped the fight and demanded to know why Ayush thought Ansh wasn’t a good match for Shalu. Ayush explained that Ansh was attracted to Shalu’s beauty, not her heart, and believed if Ansh found another beautiful girl, he would leave Shalu.
Rishi placed Malishka’s bracelet on Lord Ganesh’s hand and thanked the deity for dropping it, as now he could gift it to Lakshmi.
Rishi ran into David and Pinter, accidentally dropping the bracelet. He asked them to help him find it. David found the bracelet and handed it to Rishi, who thanked him and left.
Shalu came to Lakshmi and asked why she called for her. Lakshmi was confused, saying she didn’t call for Shalu. Shalu said Ayush told her that Lakshmi was asking for her. Lakshmi assumed Ayush was playing a prank, and Shalu made a comment about Ayush. Later, Shalu noticed sindoor in Lakshmi’s hairline and asked her about it. Lakshmi checked and was surprised to see the sindoor.
Ansh told Ayush he also wanted to know about Shalu. Ayush insisted that Ansh was wrong and reminded him how well they knew each other. Ayush explained that’s why he didn’t approve of this match and walked away. Seeing Ayush’s behavior, Ansh told Anushka that even if there was no affair between Ayush and Shalu now, there would be one in the future. He claimed Ayush had feelings for Shalu, infuriating Anushka, who stormed off.
Balwinder was angry that his plan failed. He told Guddu he had decided to only kidnap Lakshmi because he didn’t like Parvati and commented on it.
Karishma told Avinash she couldn’t live with him anymore. Avinash responded by saying he knew she didn’t like him, but he also knew she wouldn’t divorce him because she liked to pretend her marriage was happy. Karishma angrily responded and walked away. Harleen arrived and talked to Avinash.
Karishma ran into Kiran and complained about Avinash stressing her out. Kiran revealed that Balwinder had entered the Oberoi mansion to kidnap Lakshmi and that Anushka saw him. Karishma saw this as a good thing and revealed how she and Malishka planned for this to happen. Kiran thanked Karishma for the information.
Pinter went to retrieve the diamonds from Lord Ganesh, but Harleen brought Avinash to tie a sacred thread around Pinter. Pinter agreed and performed the ritual, then made up an excuse to send them away.
Pinter took two diamonds from the Ganesh idol but later realized that the bracelet had been swapped. He suspected Balwinder and Guddu took the diamonds. David called his boss to inform him, and the boss said he was on his way. Pinter asked David for more time to find the culprits and recover the diamonds. He then returned the diamonds to the idol so no one would get suspicious.
Lakshmi went to a room and noticed the sindoor in her hairline. She remembered Rishi touching her hair and interpreted it as a sign from God that they were meant to be together, feeling happy about it.
Balwinder attempted to kidnap Lakshmi, but Rishi arrived in the room first. Lakshmi asked Rishi if he put the sindoor in her hairline, and Rishi admitted it. Lakshmi smiled to herself and walked away, with Rishi following her. Balwinder, frustrated, vowed to kidnap Lakshmi and kill anyone who stood in his way.
Rishi stopped Lakshmi and asked if she wanted to give their relationship another chance. Lakshmi asked if Shalu told him something and urged him not to overthink. Rishi noticed that Lakshmi was acting awkwardly and understood that she did want to give their relationship a chance. He told her that her behavior had answered his question and left.
Rishi stopped Lakshmi when she tried to leave. Rishi told Lakshmi that though they might have changed, their feelings for each other remained the same. He took out a bracelet and put it on Lakshmi’s arm. Lakshmi asked Rishi why there was a need for it, as it looked really expensive. Rishi assured her it wasn’t expensive, saying he bought it along with Ganesh Bappa. He asked Lakshmi to trust him, and Lakshmi agreed.
Rishi and Lakshmi asked the pandit where they were going. The pandit said that an old lady asked them to check her kundali, and they were looking for her. Rishi told them it was Harleen and asked them not to worry, promising to take them to Aanchal.
Rishi took the pandit and David to Aanchal. He explained to Aanchal that Harleen and Neelam wanted to show the pandit their kundalis and that she knew about everyone’s kundalis. Aanchal agreed and asked the pandit to sit while she got the kundalis of the family members. She then left.
David asked Pinter to leave before Aanchal returned, as he didn’t know how to read a kundali. Pinter agreed.
Pinter and David ran into Balwinder and Guddu. Pinter realized Balwinder was part of the other gang. They stopped their argument as they saw Malishka and Inspector Jadav approaching. Aanchal returned and asked the pandit why they were here. Pinter replied that he was looking for water, as he was feeling thirsty. Aanchal asked Malishka and Balwinder to bring refreshments for the pandit, and Balwinder agreed. Malishka realized that the waiter was Balwinder in disguise. She made up an excuse and took Balwinder away.
Malishka confronted Balwinder, asking why he was there. Balwinder taunted her, suggesting she should already know why. Malishka slapped him, reminding him that he had choked her the last time they met, and demanded to know his purpose. Balwinder confessed that he was here to abduct Lakshmi, as he had fallen in love with her again. Malishka sarcastically told him to take Lakshmi out of her life, and Balwinder agreed.
Pinter noticed Jadav’s hand and suspected that he had realized he was a fake pandit. Jadav pointed a gun at Pinter, demanding to know who he really was.
Lakshmi saw Harleen and the kids laughing at her. When she asked why, she saw Rishi smiling behind her. She asked Rishi why everyone was laughing. Rishi told her it was because he told the kids about the bracelet he gifted her. Feeling shy, Lakshmi left.
Pinter told Jadav that he was going to reveal something only he knew. He explained to Inspector Jadav that he was searching for diamond smugglers but had lost track of them. He later made a snide comment to Aanchal, asking if they were invited to the house for pooja or to be insulted. Pinter and David then left.
Pinter noticed the bracelet on Lakshmi’s hand and headed toward her, but she left before he could reach her.
Pinter and David hid when they saw Inspector Jadav. The commissioner called Jadav, asking if they had caught the diamond smugglers. Jadav informed him that he was at the Oberoi mansion, where the diamond smugglers were expected to arrive since Pinter gave him false diamonds earlier. He suspected Pinter had hidden the real diamonds in the mansion and mentioned that he had stationed police officers disguised as civilians all around. Pinter and David overheard this and became worried.
Balwinder showed a photo of Lakshmi to the pandit and David.
Lakshmi was shown in the kitchen, thinking about Rishi. Rishi suddenly appeared in front of her. Lakshmi asked if he was real, and Rishi confirmed that he was. Realizing that Lakshmi was thinking about him, Rishi teased her. He noticed that Lakshmi was struggling to lift a cabinet, so he picked her up, leading to a romantic moment between them. Malishka saw this and, in jealousy, threw a vase on the floor to interrupt them.
Balwinder asked the pandit if they had seen Lakshmi. Pinter and David believed they were after Lakshmi for her bracelet, leading to an argument with Balwinder and Guddu. Balwinder knocked them both out with chloroform. He then shared his plan with Guddu: he would disguise himself as a pandit and get close to Lakshmi, convincing her that he needed to perform a special pooja, during which he would abduct her. Guddu praised Balwinder’s idea.
Karishma and Kiran asked Anushka why she looked worried. Anushka expressed her frustration with Shalu, saying she was always wherever Lakshmi was. She feared she would lose Ayush just as Malishka lost Rishi. Malishka overheard and confronted Anushka, daring her to say whatever she wanted to her face. Read
