The episode opens with Lavanya and Pramila finding a distraught Phulki sitting outside Rohit’s locked room. They try to comfort her, explaining that Rohit has locked himself in and won’t come out no matter how much they call him. They urge Phulki to come with them to see Majli Chachi, who is now feeling a bit better. Phulki, overwhelmed with fear and regret, finally gets up. She cries, worried about what Rohit might be doing to himself and blames herself for encouraging him to go to the boxing academy. She feels that his life has been ruined because of her.
Meanwhile, in another room, Majli Chachi is seen talking to a garlanded photograph of her late son, Parth. Filled with bitterness, she curses Rohit, blaming him for Parth’s death. She declares that Rohit will never be able to live happily and that God will surely deliver justice for her son. Just then, Pramila and Phulki enter the room. Pramila tries to reason with her mother, asserting that Rohit is innocent and that Parth’s death was an accident. However, Majli Chachi remains inconsolable and firm in her belief that Rohit is a murderer. She tells Phulki that she has spoken from her heart and leaves the room, leaving Pramila and Phulki heartbroken.
The scene shifts to introduce a new character, Shalini. In her room, she retrieves a bottle of alcohol and makes a sinister phone call to someone she addresses as Rudra Bhaiyya. She instructs him to arrange for a vehicle to transport a dead body the next morning, ominously stating that Rohit Roy Chowdhury will be gone from the world forever. After the call, she lights a match and extinguishes it with a chilling look, her evil intentions clear.
Later, a dejected Rohit comes downstairs. He goes to the kitchen, and Shalini appears, pretending to be concerned. She masterfully manipulates him, reminding him of their past and offering him alcohol to numb his pain. Though he initially refuses, he succumbs to his despair and starts drinking. Rohit breaks down, revealing to Shalini that he was framed in the drug test and that Bagchi Sir has always held a grudge against him. He recalls the public humiliation at the academy, and as his pain intensifies, Shalini continues to pour him drinks, pushing him further into despair. His painful memories of being called a traitor and being thrown out of the academy flash before his eyes.
The family becomes worried when they can’t find Rohit. Phulki, along with Lavanya, Pramila, and the brothers, rushes to the terrace and is horrified to find Rohit standing on the ledge, ready to jump. Phulki screams his name and runs towards him, but trips and falls. In a split second, Rohit jumps down to save her, pulling her back from the edge. The family rushes to them, relieved but shaken. Rohit, completely broken, tells them that a video of his humiliation at the academy has gone viral, thanks to Shalini. He says his life and reputation are over and that boxing has become a curse for him. His family tries to console him, but he is inconsolable.
In the final scene, Phulki confronts Shalini in her room, holding the alcohol bottle. She accuses Shalini of giving Rohit the alcohol and pushing him towards suicide. Phulki reveals that she has seen Shalini with the same kind of alcohol in Kolkata. Shalini acts shocked, but Phulki is not fooled. Enraged and holding the bottle like a weapon, Phulki threatens Shalini, vowing not to spare her for what she has done. The episode ends on this intense confrontation, with Shalini looking cornered.
Review
This episode of Phulki was a rollercoaster of high-voltage drama and emotion. The writers did an excellent job of building tension, starting with Rohit’s self-imposed isolation and culminating in a shocking suicide attempt. The introduction of Shalini as a full-fledged antagonist adds a new, dangerous layer to the plot. Her cold and calculated plan to destroy Rohit is truly chilling and makes her a formidable villain. The performances were top-notch, especially from the actors playing Rohit and Phulki, who powerfully conveyed their characters’ anguish and despair. The conflict between Majli Chachi’s bitterness and Pramila’s faith in her brother also added a compelling family dynamic to the story. The episode ends on a brilliant cliffhanger, with Phulki confronting Shalini, leaving the audience eager to see how this dramatic showdown will unfold.
