Kanchan worries that Riddhi will find out about her involvement if she checks Mahendra’s call history. She signals Mahendra, who notices Riddhi holding his phone and confronts her. Riddhi lies, saying she picked it up to stop it from falling. Mahendra snatches the phone back, accusing Riddhi of trying to trap him. He declares that he won’t speak to her anymore and storms off, with Neel watching.
Riddhi tells Neel that she figured out Mahendra’s phone password, but it didn’t help—Mahendra is now being cautious. Just then, Sumati arrives with Mahendra’s phone. When Neel asks how she got it, Sumati reveals she overheard their plan and swapped the phones while placing milk on the table. Neel is thrilled, lifts Sumati up, and praises her. She says she’s supporting him and walks away. Neel reassures Riddhi that he understands her fear of Kanchan’s involvement. He opens the phone and shows her Kanchan’s number in Mahendra’s call history.
Meanwhile, Kamlesh asks Kanchan why she looks so happy. She smugly replies that the police will soon arrest Neel, as a criminal can’t be the CEO. She tries calling Mahendra, but is shocked when she sees Riddhi holding his phone. Riddhi asks if Kanchan wants to speak with Mahendra and expresses her disbelief at Kanchan’s betrayal. Kanchan is about to respond but is interrupted by Riddhi, who accuses her of plotting to remove Neel from his CEO position without caring about the company’s reputation.
Kanchan blames Neel for turning Riddhi against her, but Neel denies it. Kanchan admits she called Mahendra but lies, saying it was only to ask him to withdraw the case. She claims it was to protect the company. Neel questions why she kept it from them. Kanchan says she didn’t want Riddhi to know that she was pleading. When Neel suggests calling Mahendra to confirm, Riddhi stops him. Suddenly, Kanchan pretends to have trouble breathing, and Riddhi and Neel rush her inside.
Later, Neel reflects on his next move. Sumati comes to him and reveals that Mahendra had taken her phone, which records calls automatically. Neel is relieved. When the police arrive to arrest him, the inspector refuses to give him five minutes to prove his innocence. In desperation, Neel locks himself in Kanchan’s room and plays the recording of her conversation with Mahendra, exposing the truth.
