The episode opens with Juhi seeking reassurance from Aditi. She asks if Aditi thinks she did the wrong thing by walking away from the wedding mandap, even after knowing that Neil was in love with Teju. Aditi gently tells her she did the right thing. In fact, Aditi says Juhi should have revealed the truth to the entire family. But Juhi explains that she couldn’t do that — because Teju herself didn’t want the truth out. She didn’t want to force Teju into more pain. Juhi adds that if everyone had known the real story, Teju would’ve suffered even more humiliation. All she wanted was to see Teju happy.
Aditi praises Juhi’s selflessness. She admires how Juhi was willing to appear wrong in front of the entire family just to protect Teju’s dignity. Aditi then shares her worries for Teju. She says that Teju is all alone in the Pradhan household now — and has no one who truly stands by her. Just then, Mukta overhears their conversation from the hallway. Her expression softens as she listens.
Meanwhile, over in Teju’s room, an intense confrontation takes place. Rituraj storms in, and Teju instantly grows furious. She demands to know how he even dared to come into her room. Rituraj firmly says he won’t leave until she gives him answers. But Teju refuses — she says she doesn’t owe him anything anymore and orders him to leave. Instead of leaving, Rituraj accuses her. He says she only married Neil to hurt him, to take revenge. Teju is stunned. She snaps back that she didn’t even know Neil was his brother when she agreed to the marriage.
Rituraj doesn’t believe her. He says she’s just acting, trying to look innocent. He reminds her that they were once in love — they were in a relationship. So how could she marry someone else without telling him? Teju reminds Rituraj of the truth — that when she was in trouble, she asked him to marry her. Not because he was a great singer or famous — but because they were together, and she trusted him. But Rituraj only cared about his career at that time. He didn’t support her. Rituraj defends himself, saying there was nothing wrong in focusing on his career. He didn’t believe marriage was the solution to every problem, so he asked for time. He even says that after returning from the US, he tried to help her — but she pushed him away.
Elsewhere in the house, Neil is going about his usual chores. He notices that there’s no water in his jar and assumes Teju might not have water in her room either. Without saying anything to anyone, he decides to bring water for her — a small gesture of care.
Back with Juhi, Mukta approaches her with a kind smile. She says she heard everything Juhi and Aditi talked about. She blesses Juhi for her sacrifice, calling her brave and selfless. Mukta tells her that she will surely get everything she deserves in life. But Juhi humbly replies that she doesn’t want anything — she only wishes for Neil and Teju’s happiness.
Meanwhile, the heated exchange between Rituraj and Teju continues. Rituraj tells her that she made him feel small and worthless by rejecting him and marrying his brother instead. Teju asks him if all this anger is just because of his hurt ego. Rituraj, without shame, says yes. He confesses that his pride is broken. Then, in a shocking moment, he threatens Teju. He says that as long as he has influence in the music industry, he will make sure Teju never becomes a professional singer. This, he says, is her punishment for turning her back on him. Teju is stunned and shaken.
Just then, Neil quietly enters the room with the water jug in his hands. He overhears their conversation — especially the part where Rituraj confesses that he and Teju were once in a relationship. Rituraj finally notices Neil standing there and demands to know what he’s doing. Neil simply says he came to give water to Teju, then silently turns and leaves without saying another word. Both Teju and Rituraj realize that Neil heard everything. The tension in the room thickens. After a few moments of awkward silence, Rituraj walks out, leaving Teju behind, distressed and broken.
