The episode opens with an emotional scene as Teju desperately pleads with Leena to open the door. Despite Rituraj saying it’s pointless, Leena eventually opens it and coldly asks Teju why she’s making a scene. When Vinod tries to speak, Leena shuts him down, making it clear she has no desire to talk to anyone. Neil, hurt by his mother’s behavior, questions her attitude and reminds her that he, too, has a voice in this house. Leena lashes out at Neil, accusing him of always supporting Teju since she returned. Neil, disheartened, says he no longer recognizes the woman who raised him. Leena bitterly replies that after his marriage, even she no longer recognizes herself and warns Neil that she may soon become a stranger to him.
Meanwhile, at another corner of the house, Mukta intervenes as Satish raises his hand on Juhi. Mukta firmly stops him and warns him never to do that again. Satish, visibly angry, accuses Mukta and Teju of constantly meddling in Neil’s life. He blames Mukta for pushing Teju into marrying Neil after Juhi walked away from the wedding. Mukta doesn’t back down and threatens to call the police if Satish ever harms Juhi again. She boldly declares that Juhi will stay in this house, as it is her rightful home. At that moment, Prajakta brings Juhi inside, solidifying Mukta’s words with action.
Back with the Pradhan family, Vinod confronts Leena and asks why she harbors such deep hatred for Teju. Leena explains that her only wish was for Neil not to marry Teju, but he went against her wishes. Jeetu and other family members also try to reason with Leena, questioning her deep resentment. Rituraj chimes in, saying the issue is all about values, and accuses Neil and Teju of pushing Juhi out to proceed with the marriage. Teju tries to defend herself, but Leena interrupts her, angrily stating that ever since Teju entered the house, she’s only brought chaos. She warns the entire family that Teju will be the one to break them apart, and with that, she slams the door shut again.
Later, Teju quietly changes her dress, visibly upset. She reflects on how she was forced into this marriage with Neil, feeling betrayed and broken. Remembering Mohit’s supportive advice, she tries to compose herself, wiping away tears and mentally promising to keep fighting for her dreams. Just then, Manjari walks in and gently notes that Teju doesn’t look ready for the party. She offers to help her get dressed and expresses her support, saying she’s happy Neil married someone he truly loves. Manjari sympathizes with Teju’s pain and encourages her to stay hopeful, assuring her that everything will eventually be okay.
Teju opens up, expressing how this unwanted marriage shattered her dreams—she wanted to study, find a job, support her family, and follow her passion for singing. Manjari listens empathetically and tells Teju that those dreams are still possible, suggesting that Neil could become her greatest support. But Teju firmly states that she intends to fulfill her dreams on her own. She says she doesn’t need Neil, criticizing him for always being swayed by others instead of taking a stand for himself. Manjari gently explains that Neil’s nature is to prioritize others above himself, and she urges Teju to give him a fair chance. However, Teju refuses outright. She says she cannot forgive someone who blackmailed and manipulated her into marriage, even after she clearly said no. Manjari is hurt by Teju’s rejection but tells her that one day, she’ll realize Neil’s true worth. Teju ends the conversation saying she trusts herself more than anyone—and no matter what, she will never forgive Neil.
