The episode opens with a heartfelt moment between Anupama and Raghav. Anupama, feeling a deep sense of empathy, sincerely apologizes to him. Raghav, visibly moved, opens up emotionally. He confesses that he always wished someone had stood up for him the way she did for Prem. Anupama’s support has touched a part of him that longed for justice for years. When she asks why he never stood up for himself, he answers honestly—he felt powerless. The odds were too high, the people too strong, and he was all alone. But Anupama isn’t ready to accept that anymore. She encourages him to take a stand, to fight back and reclaim his honor. Though Raghav is afraid to face such powerful enemies again, Anupama promises she’ll stand by him every step of the way. Her words ignite a spark of hope in him.
Elsewhere, drama brews as Pakhi spots Ishani with a boy. She immediately confronts them. The boy, who turns out to be a successful social media influencer earning lakhs, boldly confesses his love for Ishani. Pakhi is furious. She sternly reminds Ishani that her marriage has already been arranged with the Kotharis, specifically to Raja. But Ishani stands her ground. She firmly refuses to be forced into a marriage she doesn’t want. She makes it clear she will not give up her dreams or her love because of someone else’s expectations.
Meanwhile, Khyati is lost in her thoughts, remembering the words Prem said to her. Just then, Rahi tries to have a conversation about Aryan, but before she can say anything meaningful, Vasundhara walks in and interrupts. Khyati becomes curious, wondering what Rahi was about to say.
Back at home, Anupama questions Pakhi’s attitude. She challenges Pakhi’s attempts to control Ishani’s life. But Pakhi defends herself aggressively. She insists Raja is the better choice for Ishani and even mocks Kinjal’s marriage as an example of poor decision-making. Anupama is disappointed and scolds Pakhi for being so harsh. But Pakhi hits back, accusing Anupama of being jealous and bitter. Despite the tension, Pakhi sticks to her decision to go through with the alliance.
Elsewhere, a major revelation unfolds. Khyati’s brother comes to her with important news—he has found Aryan, who is now going by the name Mohit. He urges her to meet him. At the same time, Rahi and Prem decide to investigate Aryan’s identity themselves. As the emotional storm gathers, Khyati finally confesses her deepest secret: years ago, she gave up Aryan to protect Prem and Prarthana’s place in the family. When Prem rejected her as a mother, she had no choice but to let go. The pain is still raw as she tells her brother she can’t claim Aryan as her son, but she begs him to look after the boy. When Prem and Rahi overhear this, they are left shocked and heartbroken.
Prem doesn’t hold back. He lashes out at Khyati, questioning her decisions and accusing her of sacrificing Aryan just to protect the Kothari family’s name. Khyati’s brother steps in, promising to support Aryan and give him the love he deserves. Khyati is caught between her past choices and her current helplessness. She breaks down, struggling with the reality that she cannot be a mother to Mohit—not publicly, at least.
Meanwhile, new villains emerge. Anil and Parag are seen plotting. Their target? Mohit. Despite Mohit’s clean record, they want to destroy him using legal traps—the same way they once ruined Raghav’s life. Their hatred runs deep, and their intentions are dangerous.
Later, Khyati returns home. Rahi suddenly hugs her tightly. The gesture leaves Khyati surprised and confused. It’s a silent message of support, love, and understanding.
Back at the Shah house, Anupama is pacing nervously, waiting for Rahi’s call. Her mind is restless with worry. Hasmuk notices and tries to calm her, assuring her that everything will be fine. Still, a mother’s heart can’t rest until her child is safe.
As Rahi and Prem talk, she encourages him to speak openly about how he feels. That’s when Prem finally breaks. His emotions pour out as he blames Khyati for abandoning Aryan—just to protect the image of the Kothari family. His words are filled with anger and pain, and Rahi is deeply shaken. She had never heard this version of events before. The harsh truths leave her stunned.
