Imlie tells Abhishek that she wants to tell him something since long and if she doesn’t know, she won’t be able to forgive herself. Chini walks to Arto’s room, apologizes for missing a movie with him, and asks if they can go again. He says he wants to say something. She knows that he wants to say how much he missed her, even though she missed him a lot. Atharva says he doesn’t know what he is feeling right now, but is sure that their relationship is not like before. Imlie asks Abhishek if he doesn’t think that he and Chini are completely different.
Abhishek they are, but 2 different pieces of a puzzle complete with each other; he knows Chini is childish and sometimes money minded, but people change over time. Imlie says only people who really want to change will change. Chini tells Arto that nothing has changed between them and hugs him. Atharva frees himself. Chini holds him and says she loves him and knows even he loves her.
Abhishek asks Imlie if he doesn’t love Atharva even after so much happened, things can be changed with love. He asks her not to worry as he will be fine and leaves in his car. Imlie hopes Abhishek finds out the truth soon and at least Atharva would have told the truth to chini. Chini tries to emotionally manipulate Atharva. Atharva thinks Chini’s words confused him, he needs to seek Imlie’s advice. Imlie also thinks she is confused and should take his advice.
Atharva thinks Imlie said she will just support him and the final decision will be his, then he shouldn’t disturb her. Imlie also thinks the same. They bummp on each other Atharva thinks everything is confusing and he needs her help. Imlie thinks he should think about himself and take an informed decision. Ginni informs them that Chini’s maata ki chauki will start in some time. Atharva returns to his room. Chini walks to him and asks if he is informed about them to anyone. He says no as he is not sure about them. Chini threatens to stab herself with a fork. Atharva stops her.
She threatens to commit suicide if he doesn’t accept her and says god helps one who are in love. Atharva stands confused. Chini thinks she has to help herself and make sure she performs her prewedding rituals with Atharva and not Abhishek.The family performs maata ki poja. Chini thinks Atharva should get ready to perform prewedding rituals with her as she already made a plan. Panditji distributes kukum to ladies and asks couples to seek maata’s blessings for their togetherness.
Imlie tries to jump and play temple bell. Ek Dil Hai Ek Jaan.. song plays in the background. Atharva leaves her and helps her ring a bell. Imlie then realizes it’s her imagination. Keya thinks she needs to help Chini in performing prewedding rituals with Atharva as per Chini’s plan. Chini stands for pooja with Abhishek and signals Keya. Smoike hits her eyes and she walks aside. Keya slips and pushes Atharva. Atharva holds Imlie’s hand and stumps forward, throwing kumkum on her. Family ladies also throw kumkum on them. They both stand looking at each other. Chini and her team stand jealous.
Imlie tries to wipe off kumkum. Arpita stops her and says it’s Matarani’s blessings. Abhishek tries to apply sindhoor on Chini’s hairline. She angrily stops him and walks away. Imlie notices that and thinks Chini intentions are wrong and she will not let Abhishek suffer because of Chini. Abhishek bumps on Atharva and apologizes to him. Atharva murmurs if he is apologizing to him. Abhishek asks if he said something. Atharva says he is almost married, is he sure he wants to marry Chini. Abhishek says sometimes they are confused, but they know they understand someone like he understands Chini; he is sure someone understands Atharva. Atharva remembers Atharva. Abhishek says he is right Imlie. Atharva says Imlie solves all his problems and makes him feel comfortable. Abhishke says Imlie is that girl in his life.
Abhishek tells Atharva that a friend is the one who stands by him during his problems and good times. Atharva says one who doesn’t let him fall on difficult paths, one who shares his tears and her happiness. Abhishek says that is Imlie for him, he is lucky to get Imlie in his life and hopes if Abhishek and Chini also can become such good friends, suggests Atharva to realize it and move on. Atharva thinks Imlie is sure that only he has to take a decision, Chini is sure whom she wants to spend her life with, and even Abhishek is sure that he will be happy with Chini after marriage. Imlie searches for Abhishek to reveal Chini’s truth to him. Chini walks to Atharva and says sindhoor should have fallen on them during pooja, why did he drag Imlie between them, he should inform everyone about their love. Atharva says he is still confused and asks what changed in a night. She says one night is enough for 2 lovers to live a life, he should reveal about their love to everyone. Atharva asks if she has gone mad.
She says yes, snatches his phone, messages the whole family to gather in the living room, and asks him to go and express his love for her and get rid of his fear. Atharva leaves. Chini thinks she messaged everyone except Imlie as she doesn’t want her to spoil her plan. The whole family gathers in the living room. Imlie while searching for Abhishek notices them and thinks if Chini is up to something. Abhishek’s parents ask Rudra why did Rudra gathers everyone in the living room. Atharva says he wants to tell them something. Chini feels happy thinking Atharva will shock everyone by accepting his love for her. Rudra and everyone ask Atharva why he gathered them all here.
Atharva starts music and drags everyone for a dance. Imlie asks if he called everyone to dance. He says one shouldn’t question and just dance when music plays and drags her for a dance. Chini angrily leaves. Abhishke stops her and dances with her. She vents out her frustration on him and leaves.Imlie thinks she should inform Chini’s truth to at least Rupali, Sundar, or Arpita and tells Rupali tha these wants to talk to her regarding Atharva and Chini. Rupali says she can’t hear anything. Abhishek hears that and takes her aside. She says she wants to tell her something regarding Chini. Abhishek says he is happy with Chini, so Imlie doesn’t have to worry about them.
Imlie says he should look at the reality. Abhishek says every couple is not perfect and has some other issues like even Imlie and Atharva have. Imlie tries her best, but Abhishek is not ready to listen and leaves. Chini returns to Atharva and asks why he didn’t inform the family about them. Atharva says she forcefully messaged them and he is not sure about her. She starts emotional blackmail and tries to convince him that he loves her and they are made for each other. Atharva refuses. She insists him to dance with her during her and Abhishek’s cocktail party. Atharva says everyone would be around there. She continues her emotional blackmail and convinces him to think only about them.
Next morning, Imlie goes to get juice while Chini is having breakfast. Chini taunts her that soon she will snatch Atharva from Imlie. Imlie taunts her that she got jealous seeing sindooor fall on her and Atharva, it’s a god’s sign and she accepts it. Chini says it’s just a red color. Imlie challenges her to protect Atharva from her. Chini says still a lot of pre wedidng rituals are left, just wait and watch what she can do. Imlie picks her bread and says she left her hobby of waiting. Chini thinks she will show Imlie what she can do during the party tonight. In the evening, Imlie returns home after work and thinks she will find out what happened at home a whole day. She finds Chini and Abhishek’s party invitation with Pagdandiya theme. She thinks when Chini hates a village, why did she choose a village theme. She goes to Atharva’s room to find out and doesn’t find him. She then goes to Rathores’ room and finds them busy. She questions Shivani who shouts at her. She then questions Ginni who says it’s a formal theme. She thinks then Pagdandiya dress suits best. Chini thinks Imlie will face humiliation tonight.
