The latest episode of the popular television drama, which aired on January 8, plunged the Shah family into intense conflict. The central drama unfolded as matriarch Anupama confronted her daughter, Pakhi, for her decision to marry Diwakar. Anupama did not hold back, criticizing Pakhi's choice and labeling her actions as irresponsible.
Diwakar's Shocking Allegation and Rahi's Fury
As Anupama scolded Pakhi, she found support from Rahi and Prem. They stepped forward to explain to the gathered family why they were so vehemently opposed to the union. Rahi revealed that Diwakar had approached and harassed her. However, Diwakar swiftly put his own spin on the events. He alleged that he was not at fault, claiming that Rahi had been sending him mixed signals. To justify his behavior, he stated, "Mai mard hun, thoda sa behak gaya" (I am a man, I got a little lost). This statement proved to be the final straw for Rahi, who, infuriated, slapped Diwakar right in front of everyone. Anupama also strongly condemned his actions.
Pakhi's Adamant Stand and Family's Pleas
Despite the shocking revelation and the ensuing confrontation, Pakhi remained stubbornly committed to her decision. She sided with Diwakar over her family's arguments, portraying him as the victim of the situation. Pakhi declared that she trusted Diwakar more than her own family and was choosing him over everyone else. She insisted she did not believe her family's version of events. Pakhi further argued that she had spent her life living for her daughter, Ishani, and now it was time for her to choose her own path.
The entire family continued their efforts to convince Pakhi that Diwakar was not a good person. The situation became so dire that even young Ishani was asked to talk to her mother. Ishani told Pakhi that if Anu Ma (Anupama) said someone was bad, she should believe her completely.
A Sudden Plea and a Defiant Preview
As the pressure mounted, Diwakar suddenly dropped to his knees, begging Anupama for forgiveness. Both Anupama and Prem asked him to leave, but Ansh intervened. Ansh instructed everyone to start preparing for the wedding immediately and told Pakhi and Diwakar to be together without interference. Later, in a poignant scene, Anupama went to Pakhi's room and found her trying on a red saree gifted by Diwakar.
The preview for the next episode teased more drama. Ansh is seen asking Anupama for advice on an unspecified matter, and she tells him to proceed if it brings happiness. Meanwhile, in the Kothari house, Motiba announces she will skip Ansh and Prarthana's godbharai to avoid meeting Anupama. However, Prarthana stops her, revealing that Anupama and her family will not be attending the event.
