On August 24, 2024, the episode of Shaitani Rasmein unfolded with gripping developments. Piyush confided in Netra, revealing that he had already married Nikki. However, Netra warned him that refusing to comply with her demands would lead to dire consequences, including his death. At this critical moment, Malik made his entrance. Netra informed Malik that Piyush and Nikki were resisting the performance of a crucial ritual. Malik, addressing Piyush as Kadam, reminded him that Swarnprava was solely Akalsatru’s domain. He sternly instructed Piyush to stay out of his and Nikki’s affairs, asserting that he could easily kill Piyush but had refrained from doing so. Malik also pointed out the perilous situation of Piyush’s family, urging him to consider the consequences of his death on the Gehlots before leaving the room. Netra followed Malik as he exited.

Meanwhile, Vikram tried to convince Piyush that Malik was not invincible. Suddenly, a noise drew their attention, and they rushed to the hall, where they were horrified to find Sumitra trapped inside a glass container. Malik, addressing Sumitra, stated that he knew she was different from Vikram and expressed confidence that she wouldn’t betray him. He revealed that the container had limited oxygen, hinting that Sumitra could soon die. Nikki, desperate, pleaded with Malik to release Sumitra. Malik responded with an ultimatum: if Piyush and Nikki wanted to save Sumitra, they had to get married. He assured them that Sumitra would be freed after the marriage but added a twist – Anjali would also be part of the marriage, thus coming between Piyush and Nikki.
Piyush, with Bhavani Singh’s assistance, reluctantly prepared himself as the groom, while Nikki, equally reluctant, readied herself as the bride. As they descended the stairs, Nikki expressed her disbelief that the situation had come to this. Rachna wheeled Vikram into the scene, who was internally grappling with how to tell Nikki that she had the power to kill Malik. Under Malik’s influence, Piyush and Nikki were hypnotized, and Malik commanded Netra to commence the marriage rituals. Anjali then made her appearance. As Piyush, Nikki, and Anjali performed the reverse pheres (with the show’s title song playing in the background), Suguna reflected on the end of Piyush and Nikki’s relationship.
As the ritual concluded, Piyush and Nikki snapped out of their hypnotic state. Malik coldly informed them that their relationship was now void and that they were no longer husband and wife. He then broke the glass container, releasing Sumitra. Aarohi, watching this unfold, smiled in satisfaction. Suguna and Rachna helped Sumitra to her feet, and Malik smugly returned Anjali to Piyush.
Later, Netra expressed to Malik her enjoyment when the gathbandhan (sacred knot) burned during the ceremony. At this moment, Nikki approached Malik, boldly addressing him as Akalsatru. She declared that Malik could never defeat Swarnprava and accused him of failing in his plan. Confused, Malik questioned what she meant, but Nikki explained that her and Piyush’s relationship still existed because their souls were connected. She then walked away, leaving Malik and Netra behind.
Determined to carry out his sinister plans, Malik confided in Netra that Anjali would kill Piyush during their first night together. However, if Anjali failed, Malik himself would finish the job. Unbeknownst to them, Nikki overheard this chilling conversation. Frantic, she attempted to enter Piyush’s room to warn him but was intercepted by Netra. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Nikki rushed to inform Sumitra that Piyush’s life was in imminent danger.
The episode concluded with Nikki divulging Malik’s murderous plan to Sumitra, while Netra reported to Malik that Nikki had mysteriously disappeared. The tension and suspense continue to build as the characters’ fates hang in the balance.
Episode ends.
