The episode of Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Mein on August 21, 2024, centers around a significant and emotional turn of events. Savi, a young woman who has been deeply cared for by Isha, expresses her gratitude for the motherly love she received. Savi assures Isha that just as she was protected like a daughter, she will now protect Sai with the same intensity. However, Isha is visibly troubled by Savi’s decision, indicating the inner conflict brewing within the characters.
As the episode progresses, Sai, concerned about Savi, approaches her and inquires if she has indeed canceled her marriage. Sai’s worry stems from a rumor she heard from an uncle. Savi quickly dismisses the rumor, affirming her commitment to marry Rajat and remain by Sai’s side, despite the underlying tension in her words.
Mr. Wadia, who seems to have an influence over Rajat, stresses the need to change Savi’s mind about the marriage, fearing the loss of Sai’s custody if Savi doesn’t comply. Rajat, on the other hand, is convinced that Ashika has turned Savi against him, making it difficult for the marriage to proceed smoothly. But Savi, determined to do what she believes is right, insists that the marriage will go ahead as planned. Her motivation, however, seems more about protecting Sai rather than a genuine desire to marry Rajat.
This decision of Savi’s brings a sense of relief and joy to the Thakkar family, who begin making wedding preparations with renewed enthusiasm. Savi, however, expresses her discontent with the family, particularly over the secrecy surrounding Kian. Despite her misgivings, she admits that she is going through with the marriage solely for Sai’s sake. As preparations continue, Raju suggests changing the wedding venue, and Lucky proposes a community hall he knows, where the family gathers to set up the wedding decorations.
The tension between Savi and Rajat intensifies when he tries to explain that what she saw in a certain video isn’t true. Savi, however, remains skeptical, responding coldly to Rajat’s attempts to justify himself. Frustrated, Rajat predicts that Savi will regret her actions once she learns the truth, leaving the conversation unresolved and filled with tension.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Harsh and Ashika, who are aware of the wedding cancellation rumors, celebrate their perceived victory, believing they have successfully influenced Savi’s decision. Harsh seems particularly confident, claiming to know exactly how to manipulate Savi.
As the wedding day arrives, both families work together to decorate the community hall. Lucky, however, feels uneasy as he notices the growing closeness between Aman and Mrunmayi. The wedding rituals begin in a traditional manner, with Sai bringing Savi to the venue. Isha and Shantanu perform the customary washing of Savi’s feet before she steps onto the stage to marry Rajat.
The rituals progress, and as the couple exchanges garlands (Varmalas), the atmosphere is heavy with unspoken emotions. The Pandit Ji asks for the bride’s parents to perform the Kanyadan, a significant ritual where the parents symbolically give away their daughter. Isha and Shantanu step forward to fulfill this role, reinforcing the strong emotional bond they share with Savi. The photographer, capturing these moments, asks the couple to smile, but their smiles are forced, reflecting the underlying tensions.
When it is time for the pheras, a critical part of the Hindu wedding ceremony where the couple walks around the sacred fire, the knot (gatbandhan) tying them together loosens. Sai, determined to ensure the marriage is not just a formality, tightens the knot and vows that it will never break again. As the pheras continue, Savi, holding Saisha, walks with Rajat, though Rajat is visibly haunted by memories of his previous marriage to Ashika.
In a touching moment, Pandit Ji calls for Savi’s brother to perform a ritual. However, it is revealed that Savi does not have a brother. Milind steps forward to take on the role, offering his support as a brother figure, which moves Savi emotionally. The pheras are completed, and Pandit Ji declares the wedding finalized. The episode concludes with Sai asking the newly married couple to smile for a group photo, but the joy is clearly superficial.
In the precap, the tension continues as Savi enters the room, noticing the bed decorated for the wedding night. She is puzzled and somewhat alarmed that Rajat did not remove the decorations, leading her to suspect that his intentions might not be pure. The scene ends on a cliffhanger as Rajat calls Savi into the washroom, leaving viewers wondering about the events that will follow.
Episode ends.
