On August 17, 2024, the intense drama in the series Shaitani Rasmein reached new heights. The episode began with the tribe leader instructing her people to leave the area immediately. Despite Nikki’s desperate pleas, they left. Soon after, some kids arrived, playing around as if nothing serious was happening. Nikki, clearly distressed, asked them for help. However, all the children except one left. This child informed Nikki that the Chandra bhediya, a mythical creature, did not have the life essence known as “Jivan ras.” When she asked when the Chandra bhediya would appear, the child pointed out a few tied-up men, saying one of them would soon transform into the creature. After delivering this unsettling news, the child ran off, leaving Nikki in a state of anxiety.
Meanwhile, Malik was seen talking to Suguna, trying to reassure her not to be afraid of him. He asserted his authority, ordering her to perform a ritual to locate the Sudarshan naagin, a mystical serpent. The gravity of his demand frightened Suguna, but she agreed to do as instructed, promising to deliver the Sudarshan naagin. After she left, Vikram, who had been observing from a distance, wondered why Malik had called Suguna. Suspicion filled his mind as he decided to uncover Malik’s plans for that night. Malik, on the other hand, was determined to resolve the issue that was keeping him apart from Nikki, indicating that something drastic was about to unfold.
Back in the forest, Nikki realized that one of the men was indeed transforming into the Chandra bhediya. Panicked, she screamed for help, but no one came to her aid. As the Chandra bhediya freed itself, Nikki managed to untie herself and fled. The creature chased her through the woods, and Nikki knew she had to find the tree that held the Jivan ras to survive. In her frantic search, she stumbled upon the ominous death tree, hesitating as she wondered whether she should touch it.
At the same time, Netra, another character with sinister intentions, was seen plotting against Nikki. She mused that if things had gone according to her plan, Nikki would have perished upon touching the death tree. However, she realized that Nikki had consumed an antidote, thwarting her scheme. Still, Netra remained confident that Nikki would meet her end at the hands of the Chandra bhediya, and she laughed at the thought.
Elsewhere, Piyush found himself unable to leave the area due to Malik’s demonic dogs guarding the perimeter. Suddenly, he heard Sumitra scream and rushed to her side. Sumitra was distraught, telling Piyush that Pratik’s ashes were missing. Rachna suggested that Malik might have fed Pratik’s ashes to his evil dogs, causing Vikram to break down in tears, lamenting that Malik was punishing them all.
Meanwhile, Aarohi, another key player in the unfolding drama, was seen with Pratik’s ashes and skeleton laid out on a table. She spoke to Pratik’s remains, declaring that nothing could separate them now. Aarohi was determined that Nikki would face punishment that very day.
Back in the forest, Nikki’s desperate situation continued. As the Chandra bhediya closed in on her, she climbed a tree to escape. Clinging to the branches, she kept repeating that she did not want to die. The Chandra bhediya, relentless in its pursuit, began climbing the tree after her. Nikki’s eyes caught sight of the Jivan ras nearby. She knew she had to act quickly to save herself. In a swift move, she broke a beehive hanging from the tree, sending the bees swarming towards the Chandra bhediya. The creature, overwhelmed, fled the scene, giving Nikki the chance she needed. She quickly grabbed the Jivan ras, her lifeline in this deadly game.
Back at Malik’s hideout, he ordered Suguna to begin the ritual they had discussed earlier. The atmosphere grew tense as Suguna commenced the ritual, with the title song of the series playing in the background, adding to the eerie ambiance. She informed Malik that they needed the blood of the Sudarshan nag for the ritual to work. This blood would attract the Sudarshan naagin. Malik, already aware of this, watched as snakes began to appear, signaling that the ritual was taking effect.
The episode concluded on a cliffhanger, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats. In the precap, a brief scene showed Netra launching an attack on Piyush, hinting at even more chaos and conflict in the next episode.
Episode ends.
