The episode begins with Roshni happily entering the house with a box of sweets. She announces that she had a great sale at the showroom and offers sweets to everyone. Sayli, however, looks deeply disturbed and stares at Roshni with a worried expression. When Roshni offers her a sweet, Sayli stammers, unable to form a complete sentence. Roshni asks her why she is staring so strangely, but Sayli remains confused. Roshni, dismissing her odd behavior, tells her not to be shy and to eat the sweet.
Later, Kaku asks Sayli for a cup of tea. Sayli goes to the kitchen and brings her a cup. Kaku takes a sip and immediately gets furious, scolding Sayli for bringing her coffee instead of tea. She questions if Sayli’s mind is working or if her taste buds have gone bad. Sayli, looking genuinely confused, insists that she made tea. Kaku, growing angrier, tells Sayli that she can clearly see the coffee color and refuses to believe her. She accuses Sayli of deliberately trying to annoy her and wonders what has gotten into her since she returned from her parents’ house.
To prove her point, Kaku asks Roshni to taste the drink. Tejas quickly intervenes, claiming it’s unhygienic to drink from a cup someone has already used. Kaku scoffs at his sudden concern for hygiene, reminding him that he used to eat mud as a child. Roshni, however, agrees to taste it and confirms that it is indeed coffee. This leaves Sayli completely bewildered, as she is certain she prepared tea. Kaku feels vindicated and continues to berate Sayli, suggesting she might be possessed by a spirit or has lost her mind. Upset by the commotion, Tejas and Roshni leave the room. Sayli, overwhelmed and confused, accidentally drops the utensils, which further fuels Kaku’s suspicion that she is possessed.
In their bedroom, Roshni questions Tejas about Sayli’s strange behavior, but Tejas dismisses it. He then receives a call from someone named ‘Rani’ who asks for one lakh rupees. Tejas casually agrees to give the money, raising Roshni’s suspicions. She confronts him about the money and his new business plan, but he brushes off her questions, telling her not to worry. He explains that he has started a new business of giving loans on interest using his credit card, promising it will bring in a lot of profit.
Just then, Riya and Aakash enter the house, celebrating excitedly. They are followed by Sachin, who is being garlanded. The family is confused by the celebration. Riya and Aakash reveal that Sachin has become a hero. He helped a pregnant woman deliver her baby in his taxi when they were stuck in a traffic jam. The woman’s husband calls Sachin to express his gratitude and informs him that they have named their newborn son ‘Veer,’ a name Sachin had suggested. The entire family, except for Tejas and Roshni, is incredibly proud of Sachin’s brave and kind act. Kaku becomes emotional, wondering when their own home will be filled with the laughter of a child.
Riya then shows Sachin his phone, where a video of his heroic deed has gone viral on social media. People are praising him in the comments, calling him a real-life hero. Sachin is shocked to see himself trending online.
Later, in the kitchen, Riya is talking to Sayli about how proud she is of Sachin. She notices that Sayli is sweating and looks tense. Riya asks her what is wrong, pointing out that she has been behaving strangely all day. Sayli finally breaks down and reveals the real reason for her distress. She explains that when she went to Juhi’s hospital for the flower contract, the receptionist told her that Roshni had been there for a check-up related to her *second* pregnancy. This revelation stuns Riya. She questions how this is possible, as Roshni and Tejas had an arranged marriage and had never met before. If this is her second pregnancy, where is her first child? Riya realizes something is very wrong, and the episode ends on this shocking cliffhanger.
Review
This episode of Udne Ki Aasha was packed with emotional drama and a major plot twist that has set the stage for a compelling new mystery. The contrast between the two main storylines was handled beautifully. On one hand, we have Sachin’s heartwarming heroism, a moment of pure pride and joy for the family. His selfless act of delivering a baby in his taxi made him a viral sensation and brought a wave of positivity. On the other hand, a dark cloud of suspicion and confusion hangs over Sayli and Roshni.
The central conflict revolving around the cup of tea versus coffee was a classic soap opera trope, but it effectively highlighted Sayli’s growing confusion and Kaku’s relentless criticism. The performances were strong, particularly from the actress playing Sayli, who conveyed her character’s bewilderment and distress convincingly. The big reveal about Roshni’s ‘second’ pregnancy was a masterstroke. It instantly shifts the narrative, turning Roshni from a simple, celebratory character into a figure shrouded in mystery. The episode successfully builds suspense, leaving the audience with many questions. What is Roshni hiding? Does Tejas know about her past? And how will Sayli and Riya uncover the truth? The pacing was excellent, keeping viewers engaged from start to finish. The final scene in the kitchen was particularly powerful, as the two sisters-in-law are now united by a shocking secret, promising an intense investigation in the episodes to come.
