The Poddar household is attempting to embrace the festive spirit of Christmas, but underlying tensions continue to simmer. In the latest episode, the family moves forward with their celebrations despite the emotional undercurrents, particularly surrounding the professional choices of Armaan and the troubling absence of Krish.
Abhira and Armaan's Heart-to-Heart Over Meher's Case
The episode showcased lighter moments between Abhira and Maira before taking a serious turn. Abhira's visit to Armaan's office, prompted by his request for a file, led to a crucial conversation. Abhira directly confronted Armaan, questioning his decision to take on Meher's legal case after meeting her only once.
In response, Armaan revealed his genuine belief in Meher's innocence. He explained that he was convinced she had been framed for the crime and felt compelled to stand up for her in court. His sincere reasoning managed to gain Abhira's understanding and support. However, when Abhira invited him to the family's Christmas celebrations, Armaan declined. He stated that he needed to focus on the case with a clear mind and could not join the festivities at home.
A Festive Surprise and a Growing Worry
Back at the Poddar home, Maira and the rest of the family wondered if the couple would attend the party. Their repeated calls to both Abhira and Armaan went unanswered. The mood shifted dramatically when Abhira returned home disguised as Santa Claus, bringing immense joy and distributing gifts to everyone.
In a significant moment, she presented Dadi Sa with a keychain, confidently announcing that it would soon hold the keys to the Poddar law firm once again. Despite the celebration, Abhira missed her husband. She decided to visit him at the firm with cake but, seeing his dedication to work, chose not to disturb him. It was during this time that she made a worrying discovery: Krish was missing.
Krish's Drunken Betrayal and a High-Stakes Bet
Abhira's inquiries about Krish's whereabouts left Tanya anxious, though Sanjay dismissed the concern, claiming Krish no longer cared for the family after the law firm incident. The scene then shifted to Krish, who was shown drinking heavily with a group of men—the same individuals who had previously targeted Abhira.
In a state of inebriation, Krish showed no regret for selling the family firm. He sold his watch to buy more drinks for the group and then made a shocking declaration. Krish placed a bet of Rs 50 lakh against his own brother, Armaan, predicting he would lose the Meher case. His friends further prompted him to arrange a meeting with Abhira if Armaan lost, a request Krish foolishly agreed to without grasping its gravity.
The preview for the next episode indicates a twist: while Armaan wins the case and celebrates with Abhira, she becomes worried upon learning that her husband made a major mistake during the proceedings.
