Rahi confides in Anupama, praising Mohit’s kindness but condemning his parents for deserting him as a child. Anupama gently counters that they may have had no choice—no mother leaves willingly—though she agrees abandoning him with his uncle was cruel. As Rahi gets ready to leave, her necklace suddenly snaps, sending her into panic. She fears it’s an omen of danger for Prem. Anupama comforts her, soon learning Prem is safely with Mohit. Despite reassurances, Rahi’s unease lingers.
Elsewhere, Khyati rifles through Mohit’s things, digging for secrets, while Vasundhara frets over Raghav’s jail release and her daughters-in-law’s growing defiance. Anupama finds Raghav lost in thought, stirring pasta as he reflects on Pankuri and his past betrayal. She soothes him, but Rahi’s worry for Prem persists. The Kotharis gather in prayer, with Prarthana pleading for Prem’s safety.
When Rahi confronts Mohit about Prem’s absence, he claims the boy went to inspect a house but never returned. Soon, a disturbing video surfaces—Prem brawling with local boys. Mohit blames Rahi and Anupama for provoking the fight, amplifying Rahi’s distress. She calls Anupama, who grows alarmed after watching the footage.
Khyati, suspicious, accuses Mohit of lying. He defends himself, but Rahi’s fear escalates, begging Anupama to come. Anupama, now agitated, decides to leave, with Hasmuk insisting Ansh escort her. Paritosh volunteers, but she asks him to stay with the Shahs.
As Rahi desperately prays, Khyati and Parag offer support, their shared concern leading to an unexpected embrace. Meanwhile, Mahi rushes to the Kotharis after hearing about Prem. Ishani declares an “evil eye” haunts Prem and Rahi, while Pari viciously blames Mahi. Challenged to prove her care, Mahi coldly retorts that Prem would’ve been better off married to her.
Anupama arrives, joining Rahi’s vigil. Meeting Mohit, her doubts solidify. Gautam openly questions Mohit’s honesty, but Mohit fires back, tension thickening.
