The episode begins with a shocking turn of events. During a family gathering, Neel is suddenly shot in the neck. He collapses in slow motion as everyone looks on in horror. Savi rushes to his side, cradling his head as he bleeds profusely. She desperately tries to keep him conscious, while Bhavani and the other women scream in panic. Savi frantically yells for someone to call an ambulance.
In a parallel scene, Shrichand is confronted by the police in his living room. He is swiftly arrested, leaving the family in a state of shock. The police then escort him away, as the women watch, terrified and confused.
Back at the house, Savi is crying over Neel, begging him to keep his eyes open. Paramedics arrive with a stretcher and carefully lift Neel onto it. A devastated Savi follows them as they rush him out. Moments later, the police, including a female officer, arrive at the house. The officer informs a distraught Bhavani, who is holding a baby, that the entire family must come to the police station for questioning.
The family is stunned. The police officer explains that they are under suspicion because they were living in Shrichand’s house, and their son, Rajat Thakkar, was involved with him in a major money laundering case. She adds that they have information that the family was planning to flee the country, with tickets booked by Shrichand himself. As the family is about to be taken away, Savi returns. She tries to take the baby from Bhavani, but the police officer intervenes. She takes the baby and hands it to Savi, stating, “She is the mother.” Bhavani is furious and warns Savi that she will get her grandchildren back. The police then lead the heartbroken family away.
Savi rushes to the hospital, where Neel is being wheeled into the operation theatre. The doctor informs her that the bullet is lodged in a very delicate nerve close to his brain, and the situation is critical. The “Operation Theatre” light switches on, and Savi is left outside, breaking down in tears.
While she waits, her young daughter Saee walks up to her. “Pukki Uncle… what happened to him?” she asks innocently. “Will he also become a star like Papa?” Savi is overwhelmed with grief and hugs her daughter tightly. A nurse offers her a glass of water, trying to comfort her.
Later, the doctor emerges from the operation. He tells a worried Savi that the surgery was successful, but they can’t say anything for sure until Neel regains consciousness. Just then, Neel’s entire family, including Bhavani and Vinayak, arrives. Bhavani immediately confronts Savi, blaming her for Neel’s condition. “This is all because of you!” she cries. “I told you this girl would ruin my son!” The family tries to console her.
The doctor explains to them all that due to the injury and swelling in the brain, Neel has suffered memory loss. They enter Neel’s room to find him awake but confused. He looks at his family but doesn’t recognize anyone. “Who are you people?” he asks faintly. He tells the doctor he doesn’t remember them and asks for his wife and children. The doctor, realizing the gravity of the situation, tells the family that Neel’s mind is under immense stress. A nurse enters and informs the doctor that the patient’s wife and children are here. The doctor leads the family outside and reveals the shocking truth: Neel seems to remember Savi and her children as his own family. He suggests that to aid his recovery and avoid any further mental trauma, Savi must pretend to be his wife. The Thakkar family and Savi are left utterly speechless by this unbelievable twist.
Review
This episode was a high-octane emotional roller-coaster from start to finish. The narrative moved at a blistering pace, packing a shooting, an arrest, a medical crisis, and a massive memory loss twist into a single installment. The drama was relentless, leaving the audience with no time to breathe. The performances were powerful, especially from the actors playing Savi and Bhavani, who effectively conveyed their shock, grief, and despair. The central conflict has now shifted dramatically. The money laundering angle adds a layer of external threat, but the core drama is now internal. Neel’s amnesia and his mistaken belief that Savi is his wife is a classic soap opera trope, but it’s executed with enough emotional weight to feel fresh and impactful. Savi’s dilemma is the heart of the episode: forced to choose between the truth and the well-being of the man who saved her daughter. The final scenes set up a fascinating and complex path forward, promising intense confrontations between Savi and a justifiably angry Thakkar family. The episode successfully delivered a powerful climax that will keep viewers hooked.
