Adit and Mangal’s Paths Cross Again | Gauri Pooja Invitation Brings New Emotions
The episode begins with Adit meeting Kapil in hopes of personally presenting his business idea. But Kapil seems upset. He reminds Adit that his representative already came to handle everything, and Adit caused unnecessary drama at the event. Kapil says Adit has already used up his two minutes and asks him to leave.
Meanwhile, Pratima visits a natural clinic where she runs into Kusum. Both women are surprised to see each other again and believe fate is bringing them together. Kusum shares that her son made the appointment for her well-being. Pratima compliments the clinic and asks who Kusum came with. Kusum says her son, who’s currently busy at a big office. When Kusum asks about Pratima’s companion, she mentions her would-be daughter-in-law. Pratima points toward Mangal, but Kusum mistakenly sees another girl because Mangal is still at the reception.
As Kusum is taken for her tests, Mangal joins Pratima, saying she has finished the paperwork. Pratima notices Mangal is tense and asks about it, but Mangal brushes it off. A nurse takes Pratima to a consultation room, and Mangal almost enters Kusum’s room by mistake, but the nurse stops her.
Later, Adit arrives at the clinic looking for his mother. He meets Kusum, who asks about the meeting, but Adit says it went terribly and ruined his mood. Just then, Pratima returns to say goodbye to Kusum and is introduced to Adit. She praises him for taking such good care of his mother and mentions that her own son never has time for her. She invites both of them to attend the Gauri Pooja at Kalamandir, a major event in Jaipur. Kusum and Adit politely decline, saying they’re leaving the next day. Pratima says they are welcome if their plans change. Just then, Mangal calls Pratima, and hearing her voice, both Pratima and Kusum look toward the sound. Kusum feels the voice sounded like Mangal.
Outside, Pratima is struggling to walk, and Mangal helps her kindly. Pratima appreciates her care and says, “Even when you’re so busy, you still look after me. I want you to perform the Gauri Pooja tomorrow.” Mangal refuses, surprising Pratima, as this is the first time Mangal has said no to her request.
Meanwhile, Adit asks Kusum if she still has feelings for Mangal. Kusum says she just wants to confront her and ask why she betrayed them. Adit advises her to forget about Mangal, and they both leave for the hotel.
Later, Mangal is seen working in her kitchen with her staff. Her workers gift her traditional Rajasthani clothes and jewelry, requesting her to wear them for the Gauri Pooja. Mangal thanks them for their love but says she won’t be attending and tells them to go without her. However, the workers refuse, saying they won’t go unless she comes too.
At the hotel, Adit informs Kusum that the taxi drivers are on strike, and he couldn’t get any bus or flight tickets either. Kusum suggests they leave the next day and tells Adit not to worry. She says they should go to the Mahotsav since they were invited by Pratima Ji, and it would be a great experience. Adit seems hesitant but doesn’t argue.
Back at the kitchen, Mangal tells her staff they will leave for Gauri Pooja after finishing their work. Everyone is thrilled and begins working with excitement.
The episode ends with both Adit and Mangal unknowingly moving toward the same event, setting the stage for another unexpected meeting.
