The episode opens with a tense scene at night. Shri is trying to console his friend, Master ji (Murli), who is heartbroken. Shri tells him not to give up, reminding him that he’ll regret it for the rest of his life if he walks away now. However, Murli is dejected and says that what happened is what was meant to be. He walks away, leaving Shri frustrated with his friends.
Suddenly, Sneha arrives and confronts Shri. She is furious with him for helping Murli and accuses him of breaking his promise to her. She says that he has proven that all men are the same and that she made a mistake by trusting him. Shri tries to explain, but Sneha is too angry to listen. She tells him that her sister is very sensitive and will be deeply hurt by this situation.
In a surprising twist, Shri tells Sneha that her sister also loves Murli. This revelation leaves Sneha completely shocked and speechless. Just as they are arguing, a police jeep pulls up with Murli’s parents. Murli’s father angrily accuses Shri and his friends of being responsible for his son’s disappearance and even points a finger at Sneha. The police officer, who seems to have a history with Shri, steps out of the jeep.
Sneha, now understanding the situation better, defends herself and Shri. She confidently tells the officer and Murli’s parents that their son has simply gone back home. Relieved, Murli’s parents leave with the police. However, before he goes, the police officer gives Shri a stern warning. He mockingly mentions Shri’s upcoming engagement and tells him that he will be keeping a close eye on him, suggesting he will cause trouble for Shri in the future.
The scene then shifts to another house, where a man is sick in bed, being cared for by a woman named Bhagwati. He is worried about their son Kanti’s engagement to a girl named Purvi. He reveals a shocking truth: Bhagwati’s brother, Vishwanath, has arranged this marriage with a hidden motive. A flashback reveals Vishwanath on the phone, plotting to take over the family’s property after the wedding. Bhagwati’s husband wants to stop the engagement, but Bhagwati feels she cannot go back on her promise.
Meanwhile, Sahana, the girl Murli loves, is seen crying in her room. She clutches a watch that Murli gave her, clearly heartbroken. Her younger sister, Suma, tries to comfort her, but Sahana is inconsolable and makes her sister swear not to tell their mother about her distress.
Back at Shri’s house, Purvi, the girl Shri is supposed to be engaged to, confronts him. His friends are also present. Purvi is aware that Shri is trying to stop their engagement and demands to know his plan. In a dramatic turn of events, Bhagwati, who has come to the door, overhears their entire conversation and is left looking shocked and betrayed.
The episode ends with this cliffhanger, leaving viewers to wonder what Bhagwati will do now that she knows the truth about Shri’s intentions.
