Devansh calls Karishma and asks her to come home because he needs to talk. Sensing his worried tone, Karishma asks if everything is okay. Devansh admits he is concerned and informs her that Guruji is coming today to set the date for her wedding. Karishma gets excited and tells him she will reach the Chauhan Mansion as soon as possible. After hanging up, she tells Kavita she’s relieved no one found out about her involvement in the Vasudha incident.
Meanwhile, Avinash asks Devansh if Karishma is coming. Devansh replies that since the contest was her responsibility, she needs to provide answers. Avinash then questions whether Devansh trusts him. Devansh reassures him, saying he trusts him completely but will still hold Karishma accountable if she intentionally added Vasudha’s name to the contest list.
Later, Guruji announces that Avinash and Karishma’s marriage should take place in six months, with the engagement set for two weeks from now. Karishma is thrilled to hear this. Both Avinash and Karishma take Guruji’s blessings, and he leaves. Following this, Savitri distributes sweets to everyone on Chandrika’s behalf.
At the outhouse, Hanumant informs Vasudha that the groom’s family is coming to Udaipur in two days. Vasudha, however, tells him they are running late for work and can discuss the marriage later. Hanumant cheerfully says he will buy a beautiful lehenga for her.
Kavita then asks Chandrika when they should go shopping. Chandrika responds that she needs an answer before they do. She questions Devansh about who added Vasudha’s name to the contest list. Devansh states that since Karishma was in charge of the contest, she will have to answer for it. Kavita suggests they move on and focus on the marriage preparations, but Chandrika insists on getting to the bottom of it, pointing out that Vasudha didn’t even apply, yet her name ended up on the finalists list. Avinash silently hopes Karishma will be exposed.
Karishma tries to divert the conversation, saying that their contest went viral, which is a positive outcome. Devansh, however, clarifies that the issue isn’t about the contest’s popularity. He calls for Divya to come in, shocking Karishma. Devansh asks Divya to share what happened. Divya reveals that Karishma instructed her to announce Vasudha as a finalist. After thanking Divya, Devansh lets her leave.
Chandrika turns to Karishma and asks if Divya was telling the truth. Karishma admits that she added Vasudha’s name to the list. Chandrika scolds her for the deception, while Prabhat expresses his disappointment. Karishma, defending her actions, argues that she did it for the betterment of the business and refuses to apologize. She claims that Vasudha winning the contest helped their brand go viral, as many girls could relate to her story. Devansh accuses Karishma of exploiting Vasudha for publicity.
Karishma argues that the increased orders they’re receiving are proof that her strategy worked, saying this was the best way to capture public attention. Chandrika, however, reprimands her, stating that her approach was wrong and questioning why she kept it a secret. Devansh calls it a betrayal, pointing out that it led to media reporters questioning Chandrika.
Chandrika warns Karishma that this should be her first and last mistake. She declares that Karishma will now work under Avinash’s supervision and then leaves the room. Kavita tries to apologize on Karishma’s behalf, saying that Karishma considers the Chauhans as her family, which is why she did what she did. Chandrika acknowledges that Karishma’s intentions may not have been entirely wrong but insists her method was unacceptable.
