As Aayush contemplates his difficult situation, Lakshmi, sensing the unease in him, approaches him with concern. She is perceptive and notices that something is amiss. However, Aayush, trying to protect her from the dangers of the situation, brushes her off, assuring her that he is simply stressed about work and other matters. Lakshmi, although unconvinced, chooses to respect his space, but she cannot shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong. She decides to keep a watchful eye on him and offers her support in the days ahead.
The tension escalates when Anushka calls Aayush again. She is more insistent now, demanding a clear answer. Aayush, torn between his duty to Shalu and the pressure Anushka is putting on him, agrees to meet her. It is a reluctant meeting, but one that must happen if Aayush is to find a way out of this dangerous predicament.
At the meeting, Anushka wastes no time. She makes it clear that there is no turning back. She pulls out a marriage contract and demands that Aayush sign it immediately. The seriousness in her voice and the threat in her eyes leave no room for negotiation. Anushka also makes it abundantly clear that if Aayush refuses, the consequences for Shalu will be severe. Aayush’s mind races. His heart aches for Shalu, but he knows that he cannot back down. He has no choice but to sign the contract.
As Aayush signs the document, a wave of guilt and regret washes over him. He cannot believe what he is doing, but he also knows that Shalu’s life depends on it. Anushka’s sinister grin spreads across her face as she watches Aayush comply with her demands. She knows that she now has the upper hand, and she will stop at nothing to make sure Aayush stays under her control.
Meanwhile, back at the Oberoi mansion, Rishi notices Aayush’s distress. He is his cousin and can sense when something is wrong. He approaches Aayush, hoping that he will confide in him. But Aayush, still trying to protect everyone from the reality of his situation, tells Rishi that everything is fine. He insists that he just needs some time alone to figure things out. Rishi, though worried, respects Aayush’s wishes and leaves him to process his thoughts.
As the day progresses, the weight of Aayush’s decision becomes heavier. He knows that Shalu is waiting for him, but he also knows that he cannot risk her safety by revealing the truth to her just yet. His guilt eats away at him, but his resolve to protect her is stronger. He convinces himself that once he finds a way out of this, he will make everything right.
Meanwhile, Shalu, who has sensed that something is wrong with Aayush, grows increasingly concerned. She confides in Bani, asking if she has noticed Aayush’s strange behavior lately. Bani, understanding Shalu’s anxiety, encourages her to speak directly to Aayush and get to the bottom of the situation. Shalu decides that the next time she sees Aayush, she will confront him and demand answers.
The next day, Shalu arrives at the Oberoi mansion, eager to speak with Aayush. She enters the house and immediately feels the tension in the air. As she walks through the corridors, she sees Anushka in the living room, acting as though she is already part of the family. Shalu, though confused and hurt, refuses to show her discomfort and continues on her way to find Aayush.
When Shalu finally meets Aayush, she does not waste any time. She demands to know what is going on between him and Anushka. She asks why he has been so distant, why his behavior has changed so drastically. Aayush, clearly torn between his love for Shalu and the threats hanging over him, struggles to answer. He tells Shalu that things have gotten complicated and that he needs some time to work things out. Shalu, however, is not convinced. She presses him for the truth, but Aayush remains evasive.
Feeling betrayed and heartbroken by Aayush’s lack of transparency, Shalu walks away, tears streaming down her face. She knows that something is not right, but she is unsure of how to get to the bottom of it. Aayush watches her leave, his heart heavy with guilt, knowing that he has just pushed the one person who truly loves him further away.
Later, Anushka arrives at the Oberoi mansion once again, and this time, her presence is more unsettling than ever. She makes no effort to hide her intentions as she flaunts her relationship with Aayush in front of everyone. Neelam and Rishi notice the awkwardness in the air and exchange worried glances. They can both sense that there is something off about Anushka’s behavior, but neither of them can pinpoint what it is.
As the episode reaches its conclusion, Aayush is left alone with his thoughts. His decision to sign the marriage contract with Anushka now feels like an irreversible mistake. He knows that he has put Shalu in grave danger, but he also knows that he cannot change what has already been done. The guilt, the shame, and the responsibility weigh heavily on his shoulders as he looks ahead to an uncertain future.
Precap: In the upcoming episode, Anushka’s wrath intensifies as she seeks revenge on Aayush and Shalu. Shalu, determined to uncover the truth, takes matters into her own hands. The Oberoi family unites to protect their loved ones, but the question remains: will they be able to stop Anushka before it’s too late?
