Sarika apologizes to Chandrika, who warns her that if she makes another mistake, she will be thrown out of the house. After saying this, Chandrika leaves.
Meanwhile, Vasudha continues searching for her earrings and notices Avinash talking to Gulki. Avinash, who is drunk, asks Gulki how she would feel if her marriage was arranged without her being informed. Vasudha hears this and tells Avinash to lower his voice. Avinash then admits that he doesn’t want to marry Karishma. Vasudha tries to calm him down, but Gulki runs away.
Vasudha spots Devansh and Sarika nearby. Devansh sees them as well and approaches Vasudha. He asks her to help him take Avinash to his room. Avinash is about to call for Sarika, but Vasudha and Devansh quickly cover his mouth to keep him quiet. Once Sarika leaves, Vasudha reassures Avinash that everything will be fine. She tells Devansh that she cannot cross the “Lakshman Rekha” (a boundary she feels she shouldn’t cross). Devansh responds by saying he will talk to Chandrika about finding her a job. Avinash, still upset, tells Vasudha not to worry. Devansh then takes Avinash inside, while Sarika watches and plans to inform Chandrika about Avinash.
Elsewhere, Chandrika is reflecting on her decision to announce Avinash and Karishma’s marriage. She asks Prabhat if it was the right choice. Prabhat says he trusts her judgment but suggests they should talk to Avinash. Sarika arrives and tells them about Avinash’s situation, mentioning that Avinash can’t seem to make decisions for his own life. After hearing this, Chandrika leaves.
Devansh takes Avinash to his room and offers to get him some lemonade. Avinash, still upset, questions why Devansh is acting like Chandrika. Devansh urges Avinash to keep his voice down, but Avinash angrily says he’s always followed Chandrika’s orders but refuses to marry Karishma. Devansh tries to explain that Chandrika only makes decisions for their well-being, but Avinash bitterly responds that Devansh is the family favorite, while he only receives commands. Avinash admits he hates Chandrika for that.
Devansh slaps Avinash, who falls onto the bed. He then asks Avinash what he has done to make Chandrika proud, stating that Chandrika’s decision is correct and that he won’t allow anyone to oppose her. Unbeknownst to them, Chandrika overhears this conversation and leaves. Avinash eventually falls asleep, and Devansh quietly apologizes to him for slapping him.
Later, Vasudha tells Hanumant that Devansh has promised to speak to Chandrika about getting her a job. Meanwhile, Chandrika comes across Devansh’s coat and recalls his words, feeling proud of her son. While inspecting the coat, she finds Vasudha’s earrings, which she angrily throws in the trash before walking away. Shortly after, Devansh discovers the earrings in the trash.
The next morning, Vasudha dreams about getting a job at the Chauhan mansion. She is abruptly awakened by Raghu’s voice. He playfully teases her, and then Hanumant reminds her to visit the temple before leaving.
Chandrika informs Prabhat that she is going to the temple to match Avinash and Karishma’s horoscopes. Devansh gives lemonade to Avinash, who asks Devansh to try and understand his feelings. Avinash promises not to make any mistakes moving forward. Chandrika then tells Avinash that they are heading to the temple to match his horoscope with Karishma’s. Devansh thinks to himself that today is the day he must talk to Chandrika about Vasudha’s job.
