The episode kicks off with Neil telling Teju that their family must be eagerly waiting for them. He expresses how proud he is of her dedication to her goals and promises to help her achieve them. However, Teju responds with frustration, saying that she doesn’t need his help, as he’s the one who ruined her life by marrying her. She questions why he agreed to marry her when he knew she didn’t love him and wonders aloud why Juhi suddenly ran away from the wedding. Confronting Neil, she demands to know what he did to make Juhi change her mind.
Neil, lost in thought, remembers confessing to Juhi that his heart belongs to Teju. Meanwhile, Leela is busy preparing the house, making it ready for Juhi’s arrival. She asks Nandi to fetch the gift they had bought for Juhi. The rest of the family nudges Bhushan to break the news to Leena about Neil’s marriage to Teju. Just then, Leena enters the room, inquiring about their conversation. Bhushan reminds her of how Poornima welcomed her into the family.
Leena acknowledges this and shares her longing for Poornima. Bhushan gently suggests that Leena should welcome her daughter-in-law with the same warmth Poornima did for her. Leena then assures that she will love Juhi even more than she loves Prachi.
Back to Neil and Teju, Neil tries to assure her that he hasn’t done anything wrong. Teju points out that Juhi was excited about the wedding until the incident at the hospital, demanding an explanation for what happened. She accuses Neil of doing something to cause Juhi’s disappearance, pushing him to tell her the truth.
Neil admits that he told Juhi that he couldn’t love her and keep her happy because his heart belongs to someone else. Teju is taken aback by this confession. Neil explains that Juhi deserved to know the truth, and he couldn’t hide it from her any longer. Teju, still shocked, blames Neil for everything that transpired.
Neil attempts to explain himself and reach out to her, but Teju pulls away. He promises to respect her space, help her achieve her dreams, and always prioritize her. Teju, however, pushes him away, telling him that nothing he says will change the past. Neil then confesses his deep love for her, saying that his love is enough for both of them. When he mentions Mohit’s name, Teju reacts angrily, telling him to never bring up her father again. She makes it clear that he will never be able to earn her forgiveness.
Meanwhile, Leena spots Rithuraj and asks him why he arrived late, mentioning that she heard he was also late for the wedding. Rithuraj brushes off her question and says he has work related to a new song. Leena asks him to stay for the bride’s welcome, but Rithuraj tries to leave. Bhushan stops him, asking why he’s avoiding any of the wedding celebrations. Yash jokes that perhaps Rithuraj is upset over a woman’s rejection, while Nandini tries to calm the situation. Leena asks Nandini what she’s implying, and Rithuraj comments that Yash and Prachi should stay within their boundaries.
As Neil and Teju talk, Neil reiterates that he did nothing wrong, only telling Juhi the truth about his feelings for Teju. He explains that a relationship built on lies would never last. Teju insists she was right all along and now, it’s her turn to speak the truth. She tells Neil that he ruined her life, as she had already told him that they weren’t meant to be. She acknowledges that Neil is a good person but mentions that every girl has certain expectations for a husband, and Neil has destroyed all of that. Neil listens in silence, unable to respond. Teju asks if he feels bad, saying that she’s only speaking the truth. The two of them leave from there, and Teju walks off with her own thoughts.
Leena, still confused, asks Rithuraj what’s going on, but he reassures her that Yash and Prachi were simply teasing him. Leena brushes it off and asks Rithuraj to stay happy since Neil and Juhi will be arriving soon.
When Neil and Teju arrive at the Pradhan house, Leena is shocked to see them instead of Neil and Juhi. She immediately asks Neil why Teju is with him. Vinod and Bhushan explain to her that Juhi ran away from the wedding, and as a result, they went ahead and arranged Neil’s marriage with Teju. Leena is taken aback, commenting that they should have informed her of such important news sooner.
Manjari tries to calm Leena down, assuring her that Neil is happy with the marriage. Leena, still upset, asks about her own happiness, expressing frustration that she had already told Neil not to marry Teju, yet he went ahead with it. The episode ends with Leena in disbelief, trying to process the reality of the situation.
