The episode opens with Shree, our protagonist, filled with turmoil. He is determined to confess his true feelings to Sneha but is unsure how to proceed. His friend, Mungsee, teases him about being lovesick, noting his recent erratic behavior. After some lighthearted banter, Shree, encouraged by his friend, decides to finally tell Sneha the truth about his feelings and his past with another girl named Purvi.
Meanwhile, at a local sand court, Sneha and her friends are preparing for their Kho-Kho practice. They are surprised to find a small blackboard with a message instructing them to run ten laps. They speculate that it might be a test from their new, mysterious coach. As they wait, more of their teammates arrive, all equally confused by the instruction but ready for practice.
In a parallel scene, a young man named Pursi is at home, looking at Rakhi posts on his phone. He feels a pang of loneliness, wishing he had sisters to celebrate the festival with. He then has a realization and, after a comical negotiation with his father and with his mother’s support, gets money and rushes out, determined to celebrate Rakhi with the three sisters—Sneha, Sahana, and Suma.
Pursi arrives at Padma’s hotel, where the sisters are gathered. In a heartwarming scene, he presents them with rakhis. The sisters, who have always longed for a brother, are overjoyed. They lovingly perform the Rakhi rituals, tying the sacred threads on Pursi’s wrist. Shree and Mungsee arrive at the hotel just in time to witness this, and Shree is visibly shocked and disheartened. His plan to confess his love is now complicated by this newfound brother-sister dynamic. Mungsee can’t help but tease him about his love story turning into a family drama. To make matters worse, another man, who is later revealed to be the new coach, is present and takes a photo of the happy siblings, pointedly asking Sneha to smile, which clearly irks Shree.
The situation escalates when Rajeshwari, Pursi’s mother, storms into the hotel, furious to find her son with the sisters. She had been informed of his whereabouts by Manju, the hotel owner. Rajeshwari’s anger suggests a deeper, unresolved conflict between the two families. She tries to pull her son away, but the sisters and their mother, Padma, defend him.
Feeling overwhelmed and cornered, the coach, Shree, tries to leave, but Sahana and another sister confront him, each holding a rakhi and insisting he let them tie one on him. The protagonist, wanting to avoid being “brother-zoned” by all the sisters, comically flees the scene, with the girls chasing after him.
The episode ends with Shree and Mungsee watching the chaos from a distance. Shree is dejected, realizing his path to winning Sneha’s heart has just become significantly more complicated with the arrival of a “brother” and a potential rival.
