On August 26th, 2024, in the ongoing television drama Maati Se Bandhi Dor, the episode begins with a pivotal scene where Rannvijay approaches Vaiju to express his gratitude. He thanks her for arriving at the right moment and supporting him. Rannvijay admits that he was close to revealing the truth, but Vaiju interrupts, asserting that she spoke the truth too. Despite their complex relationship, Vaiju insists that Rannvijay’s heart belongs solely to Jaya. She clarifies that her actions were purely out of duty. Meanwhile, Vasundhara reminds Kaveri about the importance of trust and faith in a marriage. She advises Kaveri not to question Rannvijay without concrete evidence. Kaveri agrees to be more mindful in the future.
The narrative then shifts to a heartwarming moment between Jaya and Rannvijay. Vasundhara praises Jaya for her unwavering trust in Rannvijay, noting that he is fortunate to have a wife like her. Later, Jaya notices that Rannvijay had a restless night, frequently changing sides in bed. Concerned, she prepares a traditional herbal remedy, known as “kada,” for him. Rannvijay initially refuses to drink it, but Jaya, using a playful and romantic approach, manages to get him to take the remedy.
Meanwhile, in a different part of the house, Ragini and Arhaan have tied Vaiju to a chair because she refuses to drink the same bitter kada. Vaiju’s protests are loud enough to reach Jaya and Rannvijay. Jaya, after ensuring that Rannvijay finishes his drink, goes to check on Vaiju. She finds her tied up and questions Arhaan. Arhaan explains that tying her up was the only way to make her drink the remedy. Jaya proposes a compromise: if Vaiju can correctly repeat a tongue twister, she will be freed. Unfortunately, Vaiju fails the challenge, and Jaya, along with Ragini and Arhaan, forces her to drink the bitter remedy.
Despite the bitterness of the remedy, Vaiju begins to feel better and heads to the kitchen to start cleaning dishes. Rannvijay, still dealing with the bitterness of his own remedy, decides to add honey to it. He is surprised to see Vaiju working again and asks her to drink the remedy he has prepared. Vaiju insists that she has already had her share, but Rannvijay doesn’t believe her and urges her to drink it. Reluctantly, Vaiju takes the remedy and admits that it doesn’t taste as bad after a while.
As Jaya and Ragini enter the scene, Ragini teases Vaiju, suggesting that she must really like the remedy. Rannvijay, still puzzled, admits that he thought Vaiju was just making excuses to avoid drinking it. Jaya then playfully notes how quickly Vaiju complied when Rannvijay asked her to drink the remedy, prompting Ragini to joke that Vaiju is simply afraid of being scolded by Rannvijay.
The episode takes a turn as Vasundhara tells Jaya that since their marriage, they have not celebrated any ceremony together. To remedy this, she has organized a special puja for Lord Krishna in their honor. Vaiju overhears this conversation. Vasundhara then gives Vaiju a necklace, instructing her to give it to Jaya. Vaiju, however, feels a pang of sadness when she sees Rannvijay and Jaya sharing a romantic moment.
Later, Rannvijay and Jaya arrive at the puja dressed in matching colors. Vasundhara hands Jaya a small idol of Bal Gopal (baby Krishna) and asks her to place it on a swing and begin the aarti (a ritual of worship). Vaiju watches them with a smile, but the moment is interrupted when she notices that Rannvijay’s dupatta (scarf) has caught fire. She screams to alert him. Rannvijay quickly throws the burning veil aside, but in the process, his kurta (shirt) catches fire as well. The episode concludes with Vaiju bravely using her hand to extinguish the flames.
In the preview of the next episode, Jaya is seen confronting Rannvijay about gifting a saree to Vaiju, indicating more drama and tension to come.
Episode ends.
