Atharva tells Imlie that he wants to talk to her regarding Chini. Imlie says she doesn’t want to know and starts joking that she is not Chini’s teacher to give her each information. Atharva says they are friends though. Imlie says she can show him a way as a friend but can’t walk with him. She asks him to taste her prepared khichdi. He refuses. She asks not even from her hand. He agrees and smiles at her while she feeds him. Dheere Dheere Bekhe.. song plays in the background. She asks how it is. He says as tasty and simple like her; she gets taste in everything, be it porridge, khichdi, or his life; he is a fool that he didn’t realize it earlier. Imlie feels anxious.
Ginni tells Devika that she doesn’t trust Chini even now. Devika says she should respect Chini though as she is Imlie’s sister. Shivani says though she doesn’t like Chini, she feels Imlie dropped that pelmet on Chini. Rudra warns her to change her habit of cursing Imlie and says though Chini is hurt, they need to watch Chini’s moves as she is not trustable. Chini gets Abhishek’s call and disconnects it. Abhishek messages her to talk to him. Atharva passes by and notices Chini hasn’t even touched Imlie’s prepared soup and asks if she would like to have lunch with. Chini excitedly asks him? He says with family. She says okay and thinks soon she will go on a lunch date with him.
She goes and sits with family on Imlie’s seat. She taunts Imlie that she took her place, acts as getting up and feeling headache, and says she fell too much trying to save Imlie. Imlie says she is right, she fell too low and will take time to get up. Chini says she took Imlie’s place, where will Imlie sit now. Imlie says her place is not just a chair, corner, or room, the whole family and house belongs to her and she will make her place herself. Chini thinks she took Imlie’s place today and soon will take her place in Arto’s life.
Imlie goes and sits on a sofa. Atharva joins Imlie and enjoys her prepared khichdi. Rupali thinks seeing this, Chini can’t interfere between Atharva and Imlie. Imlie asks Atharva why she came to him. He says he needs her company and likes her khichdi. She asks if he shall prepare porridge/dalia tomorrow. He says no. Chini feels jealous seeing their bonding and messages to Anu. Anu calls Imlie as Bhaskar Times’ employee and acts as unable to hear her. Imlie walks out trying to connect with her.
Chini messages Atharva to meet her immediately and thinks soon she will replace Imlie in Atharva’s house and life. Atharva reads her message. Anu tries to keep Imlie busy, but Imlie sensing her drama disconnects call and walks in. She fears that Imlie may catch Arto and Chini together. Imlie watches time and thinks it’s time for Chini and Rupali’s medicines. Chini excitedly opens the door and finds Abhishek standing instead of Arto. She asks what he is doing here. Abhishek says he informed Imlie about their spat who suggested him to visit Chini and clear their differences. Chini says Imlie doesn’t have any right to interfere between them.
Imlie walks in and says she didn’t try to create differences between them like some people/Chinii and leaves after giving her medicines. Atharva fumes that he wants to inform Imlie about Chini’s repeated message, but she doesn’t want to listen at all. He recalls Imlie’s advice to remember god and ask his parents or dear ones to choose 1 among 2 fingers and walk on that path. He notices Imlie and asks her to hold 1 finger. She asks if he is stuck somewhere. He says yes. She chooses one finger. He says he should have informed her about Chini’s message.
Imlie says she knows about Chini and Abhishek’s fight, already Abhishek is here to sort out their issues. Atharva thinks it’s good that Chini knows about Chini and Abhishek’s fight, but he couldn’t inform her about Chini’s repeated messages.
Abhishek tries to speak to Chini, but Chini shows her arrogance and fumes on him for involving Imlie. Abhishek leaves saying she should mend her ways before he loses patience and stops thinking about them. Chini thinks we mean only she and Arto. She notices Imlie passing by smiling and fumes more. Anu walks in. Chini explains to her how Imlie called Abhishek here. Atharva clashes with Imlie. Imle carrying pooja thali drops sindhoor on his face and jokes. Atharva runs behind her to apply sindhoor and smears her hairline with sindhoor. Imlie freezes while Chini stands jealous seeing their play.
Atharva smears sindhoor to Imlie’s hairline. Imlie stands angry. Ginni laughs at them. Atharva apologizes and laughs. Imlie says she will not spare Ginni and smears sindhoor on her face. Ginni goes to wash her face. Atharva says Imlie is.. stands tensed seeing sindhoor in Imlie’s hairline. Imlie checks it in the mirror and says she doesn’t repeat her mistakes and doesn’t let fate repeat them, she will go and wash her face, some colors are stubborn and don’t go away easily and this color may spoil her whole life. She walks away wiping her tears. Chini gets jealous seeing them and tells Anu that she has found a solution which surely will work.
Rupali packs her bags. Arpita asks where she is going. Rupali says wherever she can, but will not let Chini stay here. Arpita says their house is not yet renovated. Rupali says they can shift to a hotel and thinks they don’t know what Chini is up to. Devika with Rudra walks in and asks where they are going. Rupali says they need to and make arrangements for Chini’s wedding. Devika says we as a family together will handle all the arrangments. Rudra backsher. Devika says this is Imlie’s first lohri festival in this house and she doesn’t want to leave before blessing Imlie.
Rupali agrees. The next day, Imlie makes festival arrangements. Imlie says lets play a game till lohri celebration starts. Keya asks if she took Imlie’s permission for a game. Devika shuts her mouth. Imlie says they can play antakshari with a twist. Shivani says Imlie will play bhajans. Rudra shuts her mouth. Imlie suggests antakshari with a twist, they will pass on a task chit and whoever holds it when music stops will have to complete a task. Everyone agree.
Chini thinks everything is going according to her plan. Anu says she will play songs and judge the game. Arpita comments on an honest judge. Song plays. Chit stops at Rudra who sings Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Me.. song and dances with Devika. Atharva’s turn comes next with a note to kiss his most loved one. Chini hopes Atharva will ki$s her. Imlie feels nervous. Atharva kisses Devika and says she is the most loved one in his life. Devika says she loves Imlie though and ki$ses Imlie. Ginni says he should have kissed Imlie. Chini writes a chit next and Anu stops music at Imlie. Imlie reads Chini’s message that she still loves Arto and Imlie should come on the terrace. Imlie walks to the terrace saying she needs to dance on the terrace. Divya asks her to tell a song she will dance on. Chini follows Imlie.
Chini tells Imlie that she still loves Atharva and can’t forget him, so Imlievshould leave Atharva. Imlie says Chini can live without Atharva easily and in fact had moved on, but her ego is hurt when she sees Atharva moving on and hence is trying to mislead Atharva. Chini says Arto also still loves her and says he didn’t confront her when she sent him an “I miss you” message and ran to her worried when Anu informed her that she is in trouble, he inform Imlie about it.
Imlie says no. Keya and Divya joke on Imlie.Devika shuts their mouths. Rudra tells Devika he can’t trust Chini and doesn’t know what to do. Devika says he should trust Imlie. Chini continues to mislead Imlie and tries to make her believe that Atharva loves Chini.
