The chaos unfolds as Abhira rushes to Ruhi’s aid while Armaan spots Vidya and Shivani struggling with Daksh. Torn between rescues, he ultimately saves Daksh, Vidya and Shivani first. Abhira successfully shields Ruhi as Armaan shouts for the Poddars to stick together. Charu, worried about Abhir, joins Abhira’s efforts until Kiara calls them to safety. Armaan keeps urging unity amidst the crisis. Abhira’s thoughts race to Swarna, Manish and Madhav – she directs Armaan and Rohit to check on them along with Surekha. Meanwhile, Shivani assists Kajal and Sanjay before being rescued herself by Armaan and Rohit. Exhausted, Shivani gasps for water, which Rohit quickly fetches, earning her grateful blessings for both men.
Amid the aftermath, Abhira tells Kaveri this day proves love conquers hatred. Manisha observes how Shivani – suspected by many of having ulterior motives – actually embodied love. At the hospital, Swarna and Manish tend to Ruhi while she anxiously awaits Rohit’s return. Armaan’s sharp instincts detect a gas leak – he screams for Rohit and Shivani to run, but the explosion erupts before they can escape. The blast leaves Kaveri and Abhira stunned, while Manish, Swarna and Surekha receive the devastating news. Ruhi grows increasingly agitated about Rohit’s absence despite Abhira’s attempts to calm her with assurances that he’s escorting Kiara and Abhir home. Ruhi’s doubtful questioning forces Abhira to double down on her reassurances.
The hospital scenes grow more tragic as Abhira watches Armaan and Rohit fight for survival. A doctor delivers the crushing news of Shivani’s death, leaving Abhira shattered. Madhav’s grief mirrors hers as the doctor’s clinical question about funeral arrangements sparks Abhira’s fury. Through tears, she reflects on Shivani’s isolated life and vows to accompany her in death as she never could in life. Manish offers what comfort he can while Vidya collapses under waves of regret – blaming herself for dividing Madhav from Shivani and keeping Armaan apart from her. The weight of her actions crushes her as she processes Shivani’s tragic end.
