Paresh asks Renu about the girl for Akash. Renu emphasizes the importance of getting Akash married soon, noting that Kusum’s family is wealthy, similar to Roshni’s. Tejas becomes worried, fearing that Roshni and his status will diminish, and he starts to look down on Akash. Akash defends himself, stating, “I am a chef.”
Tejas responds, questioning why a rich man would want his daughter to marry Akash and advises him to abandon this idea, as it would insult their family. Sachin argues that cooking is not easy, to which Tejas replies that it is. Sachin reprimands Tejas and recalls Sayali’s words, causing her to smile. Paresh signals to Sayali, and she nods in agreement.
Sachin encourages Sayali to speak up, and she agrees, smiling. Renu questions Tejas’s comments, suggesting he might be drunk. Sachin insists he is trying to explain to Tejas that cooking requires skill. Paresh reminds Tejas that feeding the poor is a noble task and advises him to respect all work, urging him not to follow in his mother’s footsteps, who did not respect Paresh’s work.
Tejas suggests they find a middle-class girl for Akash, expressing his hurt that Akash might marry a rich girl. Renu tells Akash not to go anywhere. Sachin states that if the girl or her family disrespects Paresh, he will kick them out. Akash recalls Sachin’s warning, worrying that Sachin and Paresh won’t allow Riya to come to their house.
Sachin stresses that respect is essential, while Renu makes a snide remark about Sayali’s family. Sayali tells Renu not to involve her in the argument. Paresh intervenes, telling Renu to stop; if she treats Sayali poorly and that family witnesses it, they may refuse the alliance. Akash declines to marry, but Renu insists it is a good match and such opportunities are rare. She urges him to meet the family. Sachin agrees to meet the girl, stating that they will decline if they don’t like her. Akash becomes anxious, worrying about how Riya will react if she finds out.
At Riya’s house, Joy and Mamta discuss Riya and Raghav’s potential alliance. Riya arrives, and they compliment her, but Riya states she must go for dubbing. Dubey is on the phone, informing his wife that Joy and his family are coming to meet Raghav. He asks if she remembers the details. Tara reassures him that she has not forgotten. Joy, Riya, and Mamta arrive at Dubey’s house.
Dubey speaks to Riya, asking if she remembers him, but she admits she does not. Meanwhile, Shakku arrives at Renu’s house, and Renu complains that she should have come earlier. SundShakku mentions that Sayali will handle all the work. Renu asks Sayali about the house cleaning, and Sayali insists she has already done it, questioning Renu if it does not look clean.
Renu argues with Sayali, while Shakku smiles at their interaction. Renu criticizes Sayali for not telling Sachin to go out and for not leaving herself. Sayali explains that she tried to reason with him and heads to the kitchen to make breakfast. Shakku notes that Renu is subdued by Sayali. Renu expresses her determination to get Akash married.
