At a lively gathering, Neel shares a dance with Riddhi while Kamlesh whispers warnings to Kanchan about her diminishing influence over Riddhi. When Riddhi takes the microphone to celebrate Kanchan’s professional journey, the older woman becomes emotional and falsely claims full responsibility for the company’s achievements. Neel visibly tenses before publicly challenging her exaggerated claims and storming off. Kanchan seizes the opportunity to send Riddhi away on an errand, her sly smile revealing hidden intentions.
In another part of the venue, Kanchan’s associates provoke Neel with demeaning remarks about his marital status and professional qualifications. Their calculated insults about being a “house-husband” and unworthy leader trigger Neel’s anger, especially when they involve Riddhi in their taunts. Kanchan watches the confrontation with satisfaction before pretending to mediate. When an important investor inquires about the disturbance, Kanchan brushes it off as professional jealousy.
Sumati confronts Kanchan directly, calling her vicious, but Riddhi initially defends her mother-in-law. The tension escalates when Sumati reveals video evidence of employees criticizing Kanchan’s leadership. Kanchan counters by accusing Sumati of manipulation, but Neel demands honesty from the employees, who confirm their voluntary testimony against Kanchan.
The confrontation reaches its peak when Sumati questions Kanchan’s persistent rejection of Neel as family, highlighting his admirable qualities as a son-in-law. Kanchan’s denials are shattered when Neel plays damning audio evidence of her conspiring with subordinates to humiliate him. Riddhi reacts swiftly by terminating the involved employee, who then exposes Kanchan’s orchestration of the entire scheme.
Furious and betrayed, Riddhi glares at Kanchan before leaving abruptly. Neel delivers a final cutting remark, sarcastically suggesting Kanchan use her newfound free time to devise more failed schemes, as her latest plan has spectacularly backfired.
