On August 22, 2024, a tense situation unfolded at the Oberoi Hotel during Independence Day celebrations. The Oberoi family, along with many distinguished guests, gathered at the hotel for a special flag-hoisting ceremony. However, unbeknownst to them, a group of terrorists had infiltrated the premises, setting the stage for a dangerous encounter.
The day started on a lighter note when young Rohan innocently asked Parvati why Independence Day was celebrated. Parvati, surprised by his lack of knowledge, was about to respond when Lakshmi stepped in to explain the significance of August 15th. She patiently told Rohan about India’s struggle for freedom and the importance of this historic day.
Lakshmi later found herself in a troubling dream where Neelam, her mother-in-law, warned her to be cautious as she would be meeting several dignitaries as their daughter-in-law. In the dream, Lakshmi was reluctant to accompany the family because she felt that Neelam only saw Malishka as her true daughter-in-law, not Lakshmi. This dream left Lakshmi disturbed, and she was further disheartened when Aanchal and Karishma, other family members, made snide remarks about her.
Rishi, Lakshmi’s husband, aware of her reluctance to attend the event, tried to persuade her. He explained that her absence could result in significant business losses and urged her to reconsider. Despite her reservations, Lakshmi finally decided to go to the hotel with the family, putting aside her personal feelings for the greater good.
As the Oberoi family arrived at the hotel, a man was shown purchasing a gun from an unknown seller, hinting at the looming danger. At the hotel, Rohan and Parvati, excited to be part of the event, asked Rishi if they could enter the hotel. Karishma, another family member, told them to wait until after the inauguration. However, Avinash, who was overseeing the event, mentioned that the guests were already inside, and Rishi allowed the children to enter.
The hotel was abuzz with activity as CM Sulochana, a prominent political figure, arrived with her security detail. The Oberoi family warmly greeted her, and Lakshmi placed a garland around her neck as a sign of respect. After some brief pleasantries, CM Sulochana cut the ribbon, officially inaugurating the event. She then requested to stay in the suite to prepare for her speech, a request that Rishi promptly fulfilled.
As the event proceeded, a man disguised as a waiter was seen pushing a food trolley, which concealed weapons underneath the seemingly innocuous dishes. This man was part of the terrorist group that had successfully infiltrated the hotel. Their plan was clear: they intended to use the cover of the Independence Day celebrations to carry out their deadly mission.
CM Sulochana, now in her suite, discussed the recent threats she had received with her personal assistant (PA). She was concerned that the police had yet to identify the person who had left a threatening note at her residence. Her PA tried to reassure her, stating that the best officers were on the case and that there was no need to worry. However, CM Sulochana couldn’t shake the feeling that her life was in grave danger, especially considering the unknown motives of those who wanted her dead.
Meanwhile, Rohan and Parvati, unaware of the imminent threat, wandered around the hotel, chatting about how it was more than just a place to eat—it was a place where people could stay, and it was special because it was owned by their father. Parvati expressed her pride in her dad, not knowing that their conversation was being overheard by one of the terrorists.
As the episode ended, the tension in the air was palpable. The Oberoi family, along with their guests, remained unaware of the threat that had entered their midst. The terrorists, now inside the hotel, were ready to execute their plan, leaving viewers on edge, wondering what would happen next. The stage was set for a dangerous confrontation, and the safety of everyone in the hotel hung in the balance.
Episode ends.
