Malishka is in a state of tension, pacing in her room and recalling how she lured Lakshmi into the storeroom, only for her plan to fail. Frustrated, she wonders how an illiterate girl like Lakshmi continues to outwit her. Kiran tries to intervene, reminding Malishka that Bhagwan’s blessings seem to be with Lakshmi, urging her to stop obsessing over her. However, Malishka, driven by her obsession with Rishi, dismisses her mother’s advice. She insists that Rishi’s survival after her attempt to harm him is a sign from Bhagwan that they are meant to be together, but for that to happen, Lakshmi must die.
Meanwhile, Aayush is scouring the area, trying to confirm whether he saw Lakshmi with a bandage on her head. His search leads him to question local vendors, but he grows frustrated when he receives no solid information. During a call with Shalu and Bani, he explains that although he felt he saw Lakshmi, the driver he was chasing managed to escape, leaving him without answers.
Back at home, Kiran is desperate to stop Malishka from taking drastic action, warning her that she will face serious consequences if she acts out of desperation. But Malishka, blinded by her obsession, lashes out, vowing to kill Lakshmi so that she can finally marry Rishi. Kiran, horrified by her daughter’s determination, threatens to sever their relationship if she goes through with her plan, but Malishka remains defiant.
Rishi, on the other hand, is consumed with worry as he searches for Lakshmi. As darkness falls, his anxiety deepens. During his search, he confronts two strangers, convinced that they are hiding something about Lakshmi’s whereabouts. However, the confrontation turns physical, and Rishi is left bruised and helpless, crying out for Lakshmi as his search continues.Malishka, now driving aimlessly, tries to figure out where Lakshmi could be, furious that Lakshmi, who claims to be Rishi’s protector, is nowhere to be found when he needs her most. She becomes even more determined to end Lakshmi’s life, believing it’s the only way to secure her future with Rishi.
At home, Virender returns from the commissioner’s office with no new leads on Rishi or Lakshmi. Neelam lashes out at him, frustrated that he seems more concerned about finding Lakshmi than their son. As tensions rise, Karishma sides with Neelam, urging Virender to focus on Rishi instead of Lakshmi, who they believe doesn’t deserve the concern he’s showing.Meanwhile, Aayush, exhausted from searching all day, remains determined to find Lakshmi, even as doubts about her well-being creep into his mind.Back at the house, Kiran confides in Sonal about her fears for Malishka, admitting that her daughter has become unrecognizable, driven by a criminal obsession. Kiran breaks down, fearing that Malishka is on a path that will either land her in prison or worse.
Finally, Malishka’s chance arrives when she overhears a police radio confirming that Lakshmi has been found and is being taken to the hospital. Seizing the opportunity, Malishka convinces the officers to let her accompany them, under the guise of being Lakshmi’s friend. As they head to the hospital, Malishka vows that this time, Lakshmi won’t escape her fate.
Sonal steps out of the room and answers Malishka’s call. Malishka is excited, claiming it’s good news and that God wants her to marry Rishi. She informs Sonal that the police have caught Lakshmi and are taking her to the hospital. Malishka insists that this is her chance to ensure Lakshmi is out of the picture and asks for Sonal’s help. Sonal refuses, telling Malishka she won’t support her dangerous plan, especially since her mother, Kiran, is devastated and afraid of losing her. Malishka, however, brushes off Sonal’s concerns and declares that Rishi and she will marry once Lakshmi is gone.
She rudely tells Sonal to come to the hospital or forget about her, then hangs up. Sonal is left conflicted, unsure of what to do next.Meanwhile, Rishi is on the road, still searching for Lakshmi. He tries to stay strong, remembering his promise to his father that he would find her. Aayush finds him and asks what he’s doing there. Rishi recounts the events, explaining how he ran away from the hospital after thinking he saw Lakshmi. But then, two goons attacked him.
Although Rishi initially thought the girl he saw wasn’t Lakshmi, he now believes she might have been kidnapped. Aayush agrees, insisting that Lakshmi would never run away, and they set out to continue their search.In the meantime, Lakshmi, weakened and exhausted, faints on the road. An old man spots her, but before he can help, the goons who had been searching for a woman to kidnap for their boss, Raja, arrive. They chase the old man away and abduct Lakshmi. As they drive off with her, Rishi and Aayush approach the area, where the old man stops them.
At first, Aayush assumes he’s asking for money, but the man explains that the goons just kidnapped a girl. Despite their initial hesitation, Rishi feels compelled to help, and they ask the man for directions. The old man points them in the direction of the goons’ car, praying for both the girl and Rishi’s wife, not realizing they are the same person.Back at home, Shalu expresses her suspicions to Bani, believing that Malishka is behind Lakshmi’s disappearance. However, Bani disagrees, arguing that Malishka loves Rishi too much to be involved in something as extreme as kidnapping or murder.
As Rishi and Aayush pursue the goons, Lakshmi regains consciousness briefly, but the goons inject her with a sedative. In the chase, Lakshmi’s hand touches the back window of the goons’ car, and Rishi recognizes it. He spots her face and screams out her name. Rishi tells Aayush to drive faster as he becomes emotional, recalling moments with Lakshmi while the song “Ghar Aaja Sajna Pardesi” plays. Aayush tries to comfort him as they race to save her.Rishi urges Aayush to drive faster to catch up with the goons.
Meanwhile, Shalu calls Virender and informs him that Aayush said they found Lakshmi, but she has been kidnapped by goons. Aayush and Rishi are chasing them. Virender tells Shalu to ask Aayush to send his location, and he decides to inform Dadi.At home, Karishma and Neelam are trying to convince Dadi to drink some juice, but Dadi refuses, saying she won’t eat or drink until she hears good news about Lakshmi.
Neelam tries to remind Dadi of when she stopped eating during a stressful time, and Dadi has urged her to take care of her health. Dadi insists that she won’t budge until there’s word about Lakshmi’s safety. Just then, Virender enters and informs them that Rishi and Aayush have located Lakshmi. Neelam, relieved, praises Aayush for being with Rishi and taking care of him. Dadi finally agrees to drink the juice, encouraged by the news.
Back on the road, Rishi continues to press Aayush to drive faster. Aayush, confident in his driving skills, jokes that he has become an expert at following cars. The goons, realizing they are being followed, also speed up. Malishka tries calling Aayush, worried about Lakshmi being found, but Aayush rejects her call, frustrating her even more. She suspects that Aayush and Rishi have indeed found Lakshmi and grows increasingly anxious.
As the chase intensifies, Rishi spots a truck heading their way and warns Aayush just in time to avoid a collision.
However, soon after, they are forced into an accident when a biker suddenly crosses their path. Rishi and Aayush get out of the car to check on the biker, with Rishi showing concern while Aayush scolds him for the trouble. They explain that their car isn’t starting, and Rishi asks if they can borrow the biker’s motorcycle, explaining that his wife has been kidnapped. They give the biker Aayush’s phone number and promise to return the bike later. The biker agrees, and Rishi and Aayush continue their chase on the motorcycle.
As they ride, Rishi becomes emotional, telling Aayush that Lakshmi is his heart, his everything. They follow the goons down a narrow road, certain that Lakshmi is nearby. Eventually, they arrive at a factory where the goons have taken Lakshmi. Inside, the goons discuss how they have tricked Rishi and Aayush and plan to wait for their boss, Raja Bhai, who is coming to collect Lakshmi.
Rishi and Aayush storm the factory and confront the goons, demanding Lakshmi’s release. A fight ensues, but Rishi and Aayush are eventually overpowered and tied to chairs. The goons taunt them, saying that once a girl enters their clutches, she never leaves. Raja Bhai arrives and is impressed by Lakshmi’s beauty. He originally planned to give the goons 1 lakh rupees but decided to reward them with 10 lakhs because of how valuable Lakshmi would be.
He orders them to take her to his place, where many men will be bidding for her that night, expecting to make crores from her sale. As Raja Bhai leaves, he instructs the goons to kill Rishi and Aayush.The goons prepare to kill Rishi and Aayush, but the two manage to break free from their chairs. They overpower the goons, and Rishi demands to know where they took Lakshmi. The goons give up the address, and Rishi and Aayush tie them up before rushing to save her.
At Raja Bhai’s hideout, a make-up artist prepares Lakshmi, who is still unconscious. Meanwhile, the men gather to bid on her, and the auction begins. An old man expresses interest in buying Lakshmi, despite others mocking him for his age.The bidding starts at 10 lakhs, but the old man raises it to 25 lakhs. Just as the auction is about to proceed, Rishi bursts in on the bike, breaking through the wall. He rushes to Lakshmi, hugging her tightly and declaring, “She is my wife.”
