On August 22, 2024, the atmosphere in Sulekha’s house was charged with anticipation as preparations were in full swing for Rakshabandhan, a day traditionally filled with joy and bonding. However, what began as a celebration soon turned into a day filled with tension and accusations.
Sulekha was busy making arrangements for the festivities when Ridhi, one of the younger members of the family, expressed her demand for all the gifts she had mentioned earlier. Ridhi seemed to be in a hurry, yet she wasn’t ready for the event. She complained that her dress was still unironed, adding to the stress of the day. Searching for Mishri, Ridhi eventually found her and immediately asked her to iron her dress. However, Mishri, distracted by a phone conversation between Raghav and someone else, ignored Ridhi’s request, which only frustrated Ridhi more. Feeling overlooked, Ridhi complained about Mishri’s behavior, but her grandfather intervened, suggesting that Ridhi was old enough to take care of herself.
In the meantime, Raghav, who seemed deeply concerned, informed Mishri that he had spoken to a police officer who promised to help find the person responsible for a past wrong against her. He reassured Mishri that she would be able to exact justice on the culprit. Ranjith, overhearing this conversation, became suspicious, thinking that Raghav might be onto him.
As the day progressed, Gopal set up a projector in the hall, following Parvathi’s request to relive old memories. Chithra, surprised by this thoughtful gesture, doubted Parvathi’s ability to come up with such an idea. Just as everyone was settling in, Vaani and her family arrived unexpectedly. Sulekha, visibly displeased, wondered why they were there. Vaani greeted them, but Sulekha, concerned about potential trouble, bluntly asked if Vaani was there to create problems. She made it clear that she wouldn’t allow Vaani to ruin the day.
Chithra then revealed that she had invited Vaani and her family. She explained that both Raghav and Vaani were young and had been separated due to a misunderstanding. She believed that this misunderstanding could be resolved, and that it was important to try to reunite them. Vaani’s father agreed, expressing hope that they could clear up the confusion. Vaani, still unsure, inquired about Raghav’s whereabouts. As if on cue, Raghav entered the room with Mishri, surprising everyone with their apparent closeness.
Parvathi, seizing the moment, asked Raghav to tie the rakhi to Ridhi. However, Raghav, seemingly distracted, mentioned he had important work at school and tried to leave. Vaani, hurt by his apparent indifference, felt that Raghav was deliberately avoiding her. The situation took a sudden turn when everyone in the room received a shocking notification on their phones. The notification contained a photo of Raghav and Mishri hugging, which immediately sparked a flurry of questions and accusations.
Kalpana, always quick to judge, showed the photo to Mishri and demanded an explanation. She questioned whether Mishri’s trips to the school were just a cover for something more scandalous. Turning her ire towards Vaani, Kalpana accused her of trying to steal Raghav, despite considering her like a sister. Kalpana’s anger didn’t stop there; she insinuated that Mishri’s husband had left her because of similar behavior. Raghav, infuriated by these harsh accusations, defended Mishri. He pointed out that he was also in the picture, yet no one was questioning him. He chastised the family, accusing them of having dirty minds and unjustly humiliating Mishri without knowing the truth.
Vaani, confused by the situation, urged everyone to reveal the truth. Under pressure, Mishri finally narrated her side of the story. Vaani, moved by Mishri’s account, tried to console her. However, Kalpana, still suspicious, mocked Mishri, dismissing her story as fake and accusing her of trying to manipulate everyone with her tears. Ranjith chimed in, suggesting that women like Mishri often try to trap wealthy men to secure a better life.
Kalpana continued her assault, questioning why Mishri hadn’t confided in Vaani or any other family members if her story was true. Raghav, standing firm in his defense of Mishri, explained that she needed time to overcome her fear and speak out. He criticized Kalpana for accusing Mishri instead of supporting her, pointing out the cruelty in her actions. Kalpana, refusing to back down, declared that she wouldn’t allow Mishri to ruin her daughter’s life. She even went so far as to physically try to remove Mishri from the house, but Parvathi intervened. Parvathi, asserting her authority, challenged Kalpana, demanding to know who she was to kick Mishri out of the house.
The episode ended on a tense note, with the family divided and emotions running high. What was meant to be a day of celebration had turned into a battleground of accusations and misunderstandings, leaving everyone on edge and uncertain about the future.
Episode ends.
