Mehendi Ceremony Brings Mixed Emotions
Tulsi's Hidden Message
The mehendi ceremony begins with great enthusiasm. All family members immerse themselves in the festive activities. The women prepare and apply intricate henna designs on their hands. Tulsi also sits down to get her mehendi done.
Mihir observes her from a distance. He quietly instructs Taru to take a glass of water to her Nani. Mihir specifically tells her not to reveal who sent it. Taru follows his instructions perfectly. When Tulsi asks who gave her the water, Taru simply smiles and walks away without answering.
Mihir feels a surge of happiness moments later. He notices his name discreetly written on Tulsi's hand. Shobha witnesses the entire scene unfold. She thanks Komal for placing her father's name on her mother's hand.
A Stark Reminder

Noina's Provocation and Mihir's Intervention
Noina overhears the entire conversation from the side. She thanks Tulsi sarcastically for her acting skills. Noina proceeds to call her oversmart. She accuses Tulsi of trying too hard to save Shanti Niketan.
Noina then shows Tulsi her own hand. She spots the subtle M initial in Tulsi's mehendi design. Noina proudly displays her own henna. She claims it will darken beautifully. However, Mihir suddenly appears and wipes her hand clean. He removes the mehendi completely.
Mihir scolds Noina sternly. He points out they risk exposure if she continues such behavior. Noina defiantly states she fears no one present. Tulsi advises her to exercise self-control. She suggests simply enjoying the remaining festivities.
