On the 9th of August, 2024, Advocate Anjali Awasthi found herself in a tense situation when she came across Padma being harassed by a group of men who were friends of Yuvraj. Anjali, known for her strong sense of justice, immediately stepped in to help. She not only rescued Padma from the group but also made it clear that these men could face legal consequences for their actions. One of Yuvraj’s friends, confused by her intervention, asked who she was. Anjali confidently introduced herself as Advocate Anjali Awasthi.

Aman, who was nearby, witnessed the altercation. He noticed one of Yuvraj’s friends attempting to attack Anjali from behind. Acting quickly, Aman intervened and managed to fend off the attacker, sending him and the others away. With the threat neutralized, Anjali turned her attention to Padma, asking if she was okay. Padma reassured her that she was fine, but the tension of the moment was palpable.
Meanwhile, at the Rajput family’s home, the daily rituals were underway. The matriarch was about to perform the Aarthi when Ginny, another member of the household, expressed her desire to do it instead. This sparked a comment from another family member, hinting at the underlying tensions within the family. Despite this, the Aarthi was eventually completed by the lady of the house.
Later, Anjali returned to her own home, bringing with her all the items her mother had requested. However, her mother was not pleased with the news that Anjali had been involved in a street altercation. She chastised Anjali for putting herself in danger. Ganesh, Anjali’s father, intervened, asking Anjali to explain what had happened. Anjali recounted how she had seen Padma being mistreated and decided to step in, ultimately rescuing her.
As the family tried to move past the incident, they were visited by the driver from the Rajput household, who delivered gifts sent by Ginny. These gifts were meant for Anjali’s family, a gesture that came with certain expectations. Ginny soon called Anjali to explain that the gifts were in celebration of her upcoming wedding anniversary. She requested that Anjali ensure her parents wore the new clothes she had sent instead of their usual attire when attending the party. The underlying message was clear: Ginny wanted Anjali’s family to present themselves in a manner befitting the social status of the Rajputs.
Anjali’s mother took the phone to speak with Ginny, but the conversation quickly took a turn. Ganesh, clearly displeased, took the phone from his wife and firmly told Ginny not to contact their home again. He then ended the call abruptly. His frustration didn’t end there; he proceeded to throw the gifts out, instructing the driver to inform Ginny that they would not accept any gifts from strangers.
Unfazed by Ganesh’s reaction, Ginny called Anjali again. She asked if Ganesh had really thrown the gifts away, to which Anjali confirmed. Ginny then suggested that if they didn’t want to keep the gifts, they could donate them to the poor. She made a pointed remark about the Awasthi family’s humble living conditions and even hinted that Anjali should consider marrying a wealthy man to escape her current life. Anjali, however, firmly rejected this notion, expressing her determination to remain true to her values.
Back at the Rajput household, Ginny faced mockery from the other women in the family. They ridiculed her efforts to improve her father’s appearance, implying that no matter how much she tried, he would never rise above his perceived inadequacies. Despite the harsh words, Ginny held her ground, refusing to be shaken by their taunts.
Padma eventually returned home to the Rajput house, where she was immediately questioned about her late arrival. The scene was a reminder of the strict control and expectations placed on the women in the family, further highlighting the stark contrast between the lives of the Rajputs and the Awasthis.
The episode ended with a hint of what was to come. Yuvraj, the man whose friends had harassed Padma, was arrested, setting the stage for further developments in this ongoing saga.
