On August 21, 2024, a dramatic episode of Shaitani Rasmein unfolded, bringing intense moments and significant twists to the storyline. The episode begins with Malik questioning Nikki about whether she obtained the “jivan ras” of Chandra Bhediya. Malik, eager to uncover what Nikki experienced in the jungle, asks her if she had any visions of the past during her time there. However, Nikki appears confused and tells Malik that she did not understand anything. Malik reassures her, stating that he has the ability to see what transpired. Using his powers, he tries to witness what happened in the jungle but is puzzled when darkness shrouds his vision after Nikki dropped the jivan ras on the floor in an attempt to save a child.
Nikki then recalls a secret given to her by Gurumaa in the past. Gurumaa had warned her that no one should ever learn of this secret. When Malik inquires if she remembered anything while performing the ritual in the jungle, Nikki denies it. He then asks about the pot containing the jivan ras, and Nikki shows it to him, admitting that she failed to bring the jivan ras of Chandra Bhediya. She apologizes for her failure, which disappoints those around her.
Netra scolds Nikki for not completing the ritual, while Suguna ominously murmurs that everyone will perish as a result. Malik, however, takes the pot from Nikki and shocks everyone by declaring that she did, in fact, complete the ritual by bringing the jivan ras of Chandra Bhediya. To prove it, Malik drinks a drop of the jivan ras, and he transforms into Chandra Bhediya before regaining control of himself. With this, he confirms that Nikki successfully completed the ritual.
The tension escalates as Malik takes up a sword and moves towards Vikram. Nikki, in disbelief, asks Malik why he is targeting Vikram when she has completed the ritual. Sumitra pleads with Malik to spare Vikram, but Malik is determined to punish Vikram for attempting to kill him. Despite Nikki’s desperate pleas, Malik shows no mercy and, instead of killing Vikram, cuts off his hands as punishment.
Piyush, enraged by this brutal act, charges at Malik, but Malik easily fends him off, attacking him as well. Nikki rushes to Piyush’s side, but Malik remains firm in his resolve, declaring that he will not tolerate betrayal or forgive those who betray him. Nikki, overwhelmed, starts experiencing glimpses of her past as Malik welcomes a new character, Swarnprabha. Nikki tries to approach Malik, but he dismissively pushes her away.
Later, Malik is seen conversing with Swarnprabha’s portrait, reflecting on what transpired in the jungle with Nikki. Netra comments that Malik has already read Nikki’s thoughts, but Malik reveals that he has not yet fully delved into them. He expresses satisfaction that Nikki is beginning to transform into Swarnprabha, which is part of his grand plan. Malik dreams of becoming immortal once Nikki fully becomes Swarnprabha, fulfilling Akalsatru’s vision and gaining ultimate power.
Meanwhile, Suguna tends to Vikram, who has been left mute following the brutal attack. Nikki tries to comfort Sumitra, but Sumitra blames her for everything that has gone wrong. Piyush, still furious, tells Nikki to leave, which she does, heartbroken. As Nikki leaves, she notices Netra forcibly taking a maid to Malik’s room, adding to the unease and tension that permeates the episode.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with Nikki determined not to let anything happen to Piyush, while Malik issues a stern warning to Netra, hinting at further complications to come.
Episode ends.
