On August 20, 2024, tensions rise in the lives of Mishri, Raghav, and Vaani as relationships are tested and a mysterious danger lurks in the shadows. The episode begins with Raghav expressing his frustration to his mother, Parvathi. He admits that he has tried hard to win Vaani over, but she continues to treat him as if he means nothing to her. Despite his efforts, he feels disheartened by her coldness. Parvathi, sensing her son’s distress, reflects on a promise she made to Mishri to keep certain truths hidden from Raghav. She believes that if Mishri hadn’t made her swear secrecy, she would have spoken to Raghav directly.
Parvathi tries to reassure Raghav, telling him that true love is resilient and that nothing can come between it. She emphasizes that marriage is a serious commitment that requires responsibility, whether he feels ready for it or not. Parvathi advises Raghav to reach out to Vaani with pure love, believing that she will eventually respond to his sincerity.
Meanwhile, Mishri notices that Vaani is visibly upset. Remembering Raghav’s words, she approaches Vaani, concerned for her friend’s happiness. Mishri tells Vaani that she cannot be at peace if Vaani is troubled. However, Vaani dismisses Mishri’s concern, remarking that Raghav hasn’t even bothered to try and convince her. Mishri realizes that her friend is unlikely to listen to her, so she decides to take a different approach to get through to her.
In a bold move, Mishri tells Vaani that Raghav isn’t truly committed to her and suggests that they start looking for another groom. Unknown to Mishri, Raghav overhears this conversation and immediately jumps to the conclusion that Mishri is trying to drive a wedge between him and Vaani. He convinces himself that no matter what Mishri does, she will never succeed in separating them.
Vaani, however, is steadfast in her belief that Raghav loves her deeply and would never consider marrying anyone else. She tells Mishri that she trusts Raghav completely and that she has no intention of marrying another man. Mishri then challenges Vaani, pointing out that if she loves Raghav so much and trusts him implicitly, why is she punishing him for the actions of a third person? Mishri argues that Raghav had come to confess the truth to her, but an outsider interfered, derailing his confession. Vaani is convinced that she made the right decision by refusing to marry him until he comes clean.
Later, Mishri is at school, working on a science project where she attempts to generate electricity using potatoes. Raghav, still angry and feeling betrayed, sabotages her project by throwing it to the ground. He tells her to work on a different project, specifically a volcano model. Mishri informs him that he was the one who assigned her the potato project in the first place.
Raghav, however, continues to threaten her, making it clear that he won’t allow her to do things her way. He insists that she complete the volcano project or face being kicked out of class for a month. Reluctantly, Mishri apologizes to him, and after he finishes his class, he orders her to leave. But Mishri remains determined to finish her project and refuses to back down. She boldly declares that she was born to win and successfully completes her task, proving that Raghav cannot belittle her efforts.
Later that evening, Raghav sits down to dinner with his family. The atmosphere is tense as Sulekha, a family member, complains that Vaani’s family hasn’t reached out to them yet. Frustrated, she suggests finding another bride for Raghav. Annoyed by the conversation, Raghav asks them to change the topic. The discussion shifts to Mishri, and Raghav learns that she hasn’t returned home yet. Parvati expresses concern, noting that it’s not safe for Mishri to be at school so late. Raghav, however, dismisses the concern, insisting that Mishri is not his responsibility and accusing his family of giving too much importance to a mere servant.
As Mishri works late into the night on her project, she begins to feel uneasy, as if someone is watching her. Raghav, despite his earlier indifference, senses that Mishri might be in danger. He checks for his car keys, but a masked man, lurking in the shadows, has already stolen them. Mishri, alone in the lab, is startled when she finally sees the masked man watching her intently.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with Mishri in a perilous situation, unaware of the true intentions of the mysterious figure. As the story unfolds, viewers are left wondering whether Mishri will be able to escape the danger or if Raghav will step in to save her, despite the misunderstandings that have strained their relationship.
Episode ends.
