On August 11, 2024, the episode of “Maati Se Bandhi Dor” takes viewers through a dramatic and emotional day at the mall. The story revolves around Rannvijay’s family, who visit a shopping mall, accompanied by Vaiju and Arhaan. As they enter the bustling mall, Arhaan eagerly shows Vaiju around. Vaiju, new to such an environment, is awestruck by everything she sees. However, her excitement turns into nervousness when she faces the escalator for the first time. Unsure of how to step on, she nearly stumbles, but Rannvijay catches her just in time, preventing her from falling. Rannvijay, with a teasing smile, helps her understand how to use the escalator. Vaiju, now more confident, enjoys her first ride on it. Jaya, observing from a distance, smiles at Vaiju’s delight and asks her if she had fun.
As they continue their shopping, Vaiju is drawn to the fragrance section. She picks up a perfume bottle but almost drops it. At that moment, Jaikant intervenes, holding the bottle just in time. He points out that the perfume is very expensive, hinting that it might be beyond her means. His condescending tone doesn’t sit well with Vaiju, who retorts by reminding Jaikant that despite his wealth, he still relies on his parents. Offended by her words, Jaikant silently vows to get back at her.
Meanwhile, Jaya and Rannvijay happen to choose the same shirt for him, a light moment amid the tension. On the other hand, Ragini, who indulges in heavy shopping, finds herself struggling with the weight of the bags. Arhaan, noticing this, offers to carry some of them. Jaya praises Ragini for raising Arhaan so well, though Ragini feels a pang of sadness, thinking of Sandeep.
Vaiju, still exploring the mall, comes across a laptop bag that catches her eye. She playfully poses with it in front of a mirror. However, Jaikant, noticing her, seizes the opportunity to create trouble. He subtly influences the store staff, suggesting they shouldn’t allow just anyone inside. Acting on his words, the salesgirls approach Vaiju, insinuating that the bag isn’t meant for someone like her. Vaiju, shocked by their behavior, firmly tells them to treat all customers with respect. The situation escalates as the staff attempts to snatch the bag from her, leading Vaiju to decide to buy it out of sheer defiance. The store manager, drawn by the commotion, steps in but only makes matters worse with his rude attitude. He even calls for security, who, despite Vaiju’s protests, begin to forcefully remove her from the store. As she’s being pushed out, other shoppers start labeling her a beggar and a thief. Just as she is about to fall, Rannvijay appears once again, catching her and preventing another disaster. Jaikant, watching from afar, smirks, satisfied that his plan to humiliate Vaiju is working.
Feeling humiliated, Vaiju explains to Rannvijay that she was merely admiring the bag, but the staff treated her poorly. Enraged by the injustice, Rannvijay takes her back to the store manager, determined to set things right. The entire Moide Patel family gathers as Rannvijay confronts the manager. In a bold move, he records the manager’s behavior, demanding an apology for Vaiju. The manager, now cornered, reluctantly says sorry, but Rannvijay dismisses it as insincere, mocking the mall’s reputation. Vasundhara, another family member, tenderly wipes away Vaiju’s tears, while Jaya expresses her gratitude to Rannvijay for standing up for Vaiju.
Despite the support from her family, Vaiju feels responsible for ruining their day and decides to make amends. She notices a young man playing the guitar nearby and gets an idea. She asks everyone to stop for a moment and starts dancing along with the music. Her spontaneous act lightens the mood, and soon, the entire family joins in, dancing and laughing together. The atmosphere shifts from tense to joyful, with everyone enjoying the moment. Vaiju silently thanks God for the smiles she’s brought back to their faces. Jaya, deeply moved, embraces Vaiju, thanking her for lifting everyone’s spirits. The episode concludes on a positive note, with the family united in happiness.
In the preview for the next episode, Rannvijay expresses his gratitude to Vaiju for helping him win an award. In return, Vaiju gives him a special coin, a memento of Durga. Touched by the gesture, Rannvijay declares it the best gift he’s ever received. However, Jaya, feeling a little left out, playfully questions Rannvijay about the surprise she had planned for him.
