Today’s episode was a nail-biting rollercoaster of emotions, culminating in a dramatic courtroom showdown! The episode opens with a heart-stopping nightmare where Riddhi sees Neel being sentenced to ten years in prison. She wakes up in a panic, only to find herself kidnapped and locked in a desolate storeroom.
In a moment of clarity, Riddhi realizes this is the devious handiwork of Saili, who has orchestrated the kidnapping to prevent her from reaching the court and presenting the evidence that could save Neel. While Riddhi desperately tries to find a way out, checking her watch in horror as the court hearing begins without her, Neel’s family is gripped with anxiety. Sumati and the others try to contact Riddhi, but her phone is unreachable, amplifying their fears.
Meanwhile, the master manipulator, Saili, puts on a convincing act of piety, praying with Neel’s father. When Sumati calls, Saili cunningly feigns ignorance about Riddhi’s whereabouts, further isolating Riddhi and making her family believe she might have gotten into trouble on her own.
The scene shifts to the tense courtroom where an impatient judge is about to proceed. The situation escalates when Saili makes a dramatic entrance, shedding crocodile tears and demanding justice, further painting Neel as the villain. An enraged Sumati confronts Saili, accusing her of lifelong manipulation, but is silenced by the judge. Neel, in a poignant plea, requests the judge for more time, believing that only Riddhi can prove his innocence.
Seeing the high drama, the judge grants a final 10-minute extension. As the clock ticks down, a bizarre interruption occurs when a food delivery boy from “Romato” enters with an order for the judge. In the midst of this strange distraction, a dishevelled and injured Riddhi makes a stunning entry into the courtroom, declaring she has the proof to save Neel, leaving Saili and her mother utterly shocked.
Interspersed throughout this drama, we witness Riddhi’s incredible ingenuity and resilience. Using her wits and what she learned in girl scouts, she finds a sickle in the storeroom, creates a primitive fire-drill using bamboo, and starts a fire to create a smoke alarm. This forces the kidnappers to open the door, allowing her to make a daring escape and race against time to reach the court. Will Riddhi’s evidence be enough to turn the tables on Saili and finally bring Neel justice? The stage is set for an explosive revelation in the next episode!
