On August 1st, 2024, the episode of “Maati Se Bandhi Dor” begins with a traditional scene. Aaji is serving food to Rannvijay and Vaiju, insisting they share the same plate and feed each other the first bite as per ritual. Vaiju complies by feeding Rannvijay. Meanwhile, Jaya is preparing sheera in the kitchen for her first cooking ritual. Sulekha, in a taunting manner, calls Jaya unlucky since Rannvijay is at Jhumri Patan instead of being with her on their honeymoon. Jaya confidently replies that Rannvijay promised to return as soon as his work is finished. Vaiju feeds Rannvijay but makes an excuse of abdominal pain to avoid eating from his hand.
Jaya, determined to stay connected, video calls Rannvijay to show him the sheera she made. Rannvijay steps outside to talk to her, expressing how much he misses her. He asks Jaya to keep the sheera safe for him. During the call, Jaya asks if Rannvijay has met Vaiju yet. Kailash joins the call, questioning why Jaya didn’t come along. Jaya insists on talking to Vaiju, but Rannvijay, knowing she is adorned with mangalsutra and vermillion, makes an excuse that she is outside.
Later, Rannvijay brings food for Vaiju, thanking her for assisting with the ritual. He confides in her that staying at home means participating in more rituals, which requires constant lying. He decides to return to the lodge. Vaiju tries to stop him, expressing her fear of losing him. Rannvijay reassures her, but she holds his hand, saying she doesn’t want Jaya to become a widow. She admits the rituals are also painful for her and asks Rannvijay to keep silent.
The next morning, Vaiju serves tea to Rannvijay and inquires if Jaftab has responded yet. Rannvijay mentions that Jaftab is deliberately wasting time. Vaiju invites him outside to participate in village games, but he declines. Aaji asks Vaiju why she didn’t bring Rannvijay along, and Vaiju makes another excuse. However, Rannvijay eventually shows up and questions the Sarpanch about Jaftab. Aaji insists that Rannvijay join the couple’s race with Vaiju. Meanwhile, Jaya imagines Rannvijay and gets teased by Ragini and Vasundhara.
As the village games begin amidst the rain, Vaiju thanks Rannvijay for participating, but he explains he is doing it to prove that city people can compete and win against villagers. During the race, where the wife must get on the husband’s back, Rannvijay is initially shocked but asks Vaiju to climb onto him. Despite struggling and getting hurt, Rannvijay perseveres. Vaiju, seeing his struggle, takes charge and carries Rannvijay on her back, winning the race. The villagers cheer for their victory, and they are awarded the prize for being the best couple in Jhumri Patan. Vaiju dances joyfully in the rain, celebrating their win.
In the upcoming episode, Jaya is set to notice Vaiju wearing mangalsutra and vermillion, indicating more drama and revelations are on the horizon for the characters of “Maati Se Bandhi Dor.” The village’s excitement and the unfolding personal dynamics promise to keep the viewers engaged.
