Bhalla excitedly tells Lakshmi how much Rishi loves her, listing all her qualities. Rishi tries to stop him, but Bhalla keeps going, making Rano laugh. “Everyone knows how crazy Rishi is about you,” Rano teases. As Rano and Bhalla joke around, she bumps into Malishka on her way out. Seeing her chance, Malishka secretly adds medicine to a juice glass, planning to give it to Lakshmi.
A disguised Balwinder appears near Malishka, but she ignores him, looking for Shanaya instead. When he reveals himself, she barely reacts until he forcefully pulls her aside. Shanaya and Kiran see this, with Shanaya asking who he is. Kiran says she’ll explain later and follows them.
Meanwhile, Neelam angrily confronts Lakshmi, accusing her of trying to steal Rishi back. “Meet me after the party,” she orders before leaving. Elsewhere, Malishka yells at Balwinder for grabbing her, but he warns he could expose their secrets. When he tries taking the juice, Shanaya steps in and escorts Malishka away. Curious about Shanaya, Balwinder asks Kiran about “the beautiful girl,” but Kiran brushes him off.
Ayush looks for a waiter to bring drinks to Rishi and Lakshmi when Shalu playfully scolds him about drinking. He claims he only drinks sometimes. Finding a waiter, Ayush bribes him and takes the drinks himself. Meanwhile, Shanaya questions Malishka about Balwinder, but Malishka avoids answering and tells her to give the spiked juice to Lakshmi.
As Shanaya approaches Lakshmi, she accidentally spills the drink when colliding with Rishi. Kiran quickly sends Rishi away, pretending Dadi needs him. Shanaya calls a waiter to clean the mess.
Ayush jokes with Shalu that he needs to drink to make Rishi drink too. When he offers Rishi alcohol, Rishi refuses, saying Lakshmi doesn’t like it. Ayush teases him for being “whipped,” so Rishi calls Shalu to handle Ayush and firmly states he won’t do anything Lakshmi dislikes before walking off.
Rano and Kiran pointedly ignore each other. Rishi notices Malishka and Shanaya with a drink but doesn’t react. Shanaya warns the juice could cause heart attacks, paralysis or miscarriage if Lakshmi drinks it. Malishka still insists Lakshmi take it, accusing her of rudeness when Rishi intervenes. Suspicious, Ayush, Shalu and Rishi question the drink. Malishka acts offended – “You think I’d poison her?” Rishi challenges her or Shanaya to drink it first.
To prove it’s safe, Malishka drinks the entire juice smugly before leaving. Neelam warns Lakshmi to stop creating drama.
In her room, Malishka hurriedly takes an antidote. Kiran checks on her, and Malishka says she’s fine. Shanaya confirms she took the antidote, and Malishka nods. Balwinder suddenly enters, demanding to talk. Kiran blocks him, saying Malishka won’t speak to him. Smirking, Balwinder declares, “Don’t be rude to your future son-in-law.” Shanaya stares in shock.
