Engagement Preparations Spark Conflict in Illu Illalu Pillalu
Amulya's marriage plans move forward with engagement preparations now underway. Two opposing forces emerge within the family. Srivalli and Bhagyam plot to stop the engagement at any cost. Meanwhile, Narmada and Prema work determinedly to ensure the ceremony happens smoothly.
Prema and Dheeraj's Rocky Relationship Takes Center Stage
Prema and Dheeraj continue their familiar pattern of fighting and making up. What once seemed charming has grown tiresome for everyone around them. Their constant drama leaves family members wondering if the couple has nothing better to do with their time.
Tonight's episode follows Dheeraj and Prema as they shop for Amulya's engagement ring. During the selection process, Dheeraj asks Prema to try on a ring to check the size. This simple request triggers an elaborate fantasy for Prema.
She slips into a vivid daydream filled with romantic imagery. Prema imagines roses and rainbows while humming a love song. Her mind replays the moment Dheeraj placed the ring on her finger, creating an emotional high that contrasts sharply with reality.
The Ring That Wouldn't Come Off
"Okay, you have seen enough. Now remove the ring and give it back," Dheeraj says, interrupting Prema's romantic reverie.
Prema resists returning the jewelry. She pretends the ring has become stuck on her finger. When Dheeraj asks her to try removing it again, she maintains her story and even signals the salesman for support.
"This ring is as tightly stuck as your love. It's not coming off," the salesman declares, playing along with Prema's charade.
The salesman adds, "Why think so much about such a small thing? Just think that you bought this ring for your wife."
Prema responds animatedly, "Yes, thanks." Dheeraj shows clear displeasure with the situation.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Prema challenges him. "You are the one who put the ring on my finger. Why are you acting as if I did this on purpose? Then cut off this finger and take the ring."
Dheeraj eventually purchases the ring but buys another identical one as well, raising questions about his financial situation.
Mysterious Money Sources Raise Eyebrows
The biggest question emerges about Dheeraj's finances. He works as a cab driver with limited earnings and typically depends on his father for daily expenses. Yet he manages to pay for expensive gold rings without explanation.
Prema teases him about the purchase. "You once said you wouldn't even buy a chain for a puppy for me. And now you bought a gold ring. This is destiny. A bond tied by fate cannot be broken easily."
After completing their shopping, the couple returns home where other dramas unfold.
Srivalli Faces Dangerous Threats
Back at home, Srivalli imagines herself wearing a beautiful saree when Viswa's phone call interrupts her thoughts. She answers with annoyance but quickly becomes frightened.
Viswa threatens to ruin her married life by showing compromising photos to her in-laws unless she stops Amulya's engagement. Scared and crying, Srivalli agrees to cooperate with his demands.
She seeks comfort from Bhagyam, sharing details about Viswa's threats. Bhagyam offers consolation while examining the photos and formulating a plan. Their conversation gets interrupted when a man arrives and flirts with Bhagyam, leading to physical confrontation as tension escalates.
Jewelry Drama Creates More Tension
Meanwhile, Prema experiences pure joy at home. She examines jewelry gifted by her parents and decides to wear her finest outfits to showcase the pieces.
Prema models the jewelry for Dheeraj, asking enthusiastically, "How do I look? I look very cute, right?"
Dheeraj reacts with shock and screams, "Why are you wearing these jewels? Remove them right now." His strong reaction suggests deeper conflicts brewing beneath the surface of their relationship.
The episode leaves viewers wondering about several unresolved questions. How will Srivalli handle Viswa's threats? What secret explains Dheeraj's sudden wealth? Can Prema and Dheeraj's relationship survive their constant conflicts?
