Shanaya compliments Malishka on how perfect she and Rishi looked while dancing, but Malishka soon grows doubtful. She wonders if Rishi only danced with her to provoke Lakshmi. Shanaya slyly suggests that this might actually help drive a wedge between Rishi and Lakshmi. Malishka agrees, realizing that Rishi might be unknowingly playing right into her hands. They also note that Rishi and Lakshmi have disappeared since the dance, which raises their suspicions even more.
Elsewhere, Ayush runs into Shalu, who scolds him for disappearing without informing her. He jokes around with her before revealing that he had set up a beautifully decorated room for them, but gave it to Rishi and Lakshmi after Rishi asked. Shalu supports his decision, but Kiran overhears their conversation and becomes anxious about the growing closeness between Rishi and Lakshmi.
Meanwhile, Rishi and Lakshmi share a heartfelt and emotional conversation. Lakshmi admits she was wrong to doubt him and apologizes sincerely. Rishi comforts her and reassures her of his feelings. Lakshmi, feeling determined, promises to fix things and unmask Malishka’s deceit once and for all.
Kiran quickly alerts Malishka that Rishi and Lakshmi are currently alone in the decorated room. Enraged, Malishka creates a fake emergency by falsely claiming there’s a fire in the store room. The entire family rushes to the location in panic, only to find Rishi and Lakshmi safe inside a romantically decorated room.
Malishka immediately confronts Lakshmi, but Rishi steps in and defends her. He clarifies everything to the family. Lakshmi doesn’t hold back—she boldly responds to Malishka’s accusations and declares her intention to expose the truth. Malishka is left completely shocked and speechless.
