The episode opens with a full-blown crisis at Jaiswal Maheshwari Sarees. Angry workers are protesting outside the factory gates, holding signs that label the company as “saree thieves” and chanting “Jaiswal, Haye Haye!” The situation is tense, with security and police struggling to control the agitated crowd.
The mastermind behind this chaos is revealed to be Akshara (Bua Maa), who is orchestrating the entire event via a video call with her accomplice, Akshay. From the comfort of her luxurious home, she watches the protest with a sinister smile, instructing Akshay to ensure the situation escalates. Her goal is to discredit her nephew, Rishaank, in front of the workers and his father, Nitin, to prove he is unfit to run the family business. She believes the Jaiswal Maheshwari empire belongs solely to her.
Meanwhile, a starkly different scene unfolds inside the Jaiswal mansion. Nitin, who has recently recovered from a health issue, is hosting guests and proudly introduces his new daughter-in-law, Bhavya. He announces that Bhavya has prepared a grand feast for everyone. However, Bua Maa, along with another woman named Antara, looks on with displeasure. In a flashback, it’s revealed that Antara, likely following Bua Maa’s orders, has completely destroyed the food Bhavya had cooked, leaving the kitchen in a mess. Bua Maa relishes the thought of Bhavya’s public humiliation.
Unaware of the sabotage, Bhavya confidently leads the guests to the dining area, only to be met with taunts from Bua Maa and Antara about the meager starters. When Bhavya goes to the kitchen, she is horrified to find her hard work ruined. Thinking on her feet, she discreetly calls her friend Rupali, who runs a gourmet food store, and places an urgent order for exotic dishes. She manages to save the day by serving the ordered food, much to the surprise and annoyance of Bua Maa.
The situation takes another dramatic turn when a rival saree company owner, Mr. Kumar, and his son arrive at the protesting factory. They accuse Jaiswal Maheshwari Sarees of copyright infringement, holding up a newspaper advertisement that features one of their trademarked saree designs under the Jaiswal brand. Bhavya arrives just in time to face the furious competitors. Just as things escalate, the true owner of the rival company, a sharp and pregnant businesswoman named Mira Kumar, makes a grand entrance.
Mira directly confronts Bhavya, calling Rishaank a “bhagoda” (deserter) for not facing the problem himself and declares her intention to sue the Jaiswals. Instead of panicking, Bhavya uses her business acumen and proposes an unexpected solution: a collaboration. She suggests combining Mira’s beautiful designs with the Jaiswals’ extensive marketing and distribution network. Intrigued but skeptical, Mira challenges Bhavya, stating that Rishaank must personally give her a presentation on this new business idea.
Back at home, a defeated Rishaank confesses to Bhavya that he signed the documents without looking, as he was preoccupied with his gym business. His confidence is shattered by this mistake and a past business failure. However, Bhavya refuses to let him give up. She inspires him with a brilliant and innovative idea: a new line of “Ready-to-wear maternity sarees” that are comfortable, stylish, and practical for pregnant women like Mira. This sparks a new hope in Rishaank.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Bhavya overhears Bua Maa’s evil plan to sabotage Rishaank completely, while Bua Maa plots her next move to ensure Rishaank fails the presentation and is ousted from the business for good.
