Meenu confronts Dolly for trapping Aadhya and ruining her life. Indra says she shouldn’t have done this. Dolly defends herself, saying it isn’t a crime to punish the guilty. Meenu insists that Aadhya is not a murderer. Anupama walks up to Dolly and slaps her hard. Dolly shouts in shock. Anupama warns her to stop immediately, saying she doesn’t know what she might do next. Anuj calls Anupama, and she tells him, “We need you. Come back fast,” before breaking down in tears.
Anuj, worried, asks what happened and why she wants him to return. He says he couldn’t sleep all night. Anupama mentions Dimpy and explains everything to him. Anuj is shocked and asks if Dolly has gone mad for blaming Aadhya. He questions how a little girl could do such a thing. Anupama says these people are shameless and asks Anuj to talk to Choti, as she was terrified after seeing the police and has now disappeared. She pleads with him to find her.
Anuj informs her that his flight was canceled yesterday but promises to return today. Anupama urges him to come quickly and speak to Choti. The call disconnects. Dolly claims that Aadhya eloping proves her guilt. Toshu taunts Anupama, saying she always defended Aadhya. Pakhi adds that this proves there is something wrong with Anupama’s upbringing. Toshu cruelly reminds them that Aadhya’s biological mother was a psychotic killer.
Pakhi praises Toshu for calling the police. Kinjal overhears and confronts them, confirming that it was Toshu’s idea. Dolly insists that Aadhya pushed Dimpy into the fire. Kinjal counters that anyone could say the same about Dolly without proof.
She accuses Dolly of targeting Aadhya to take revenge on Anupama. Kinjal then warns Toshu to withdraw the complaint, or she will leave him. Toshu scoffs at her threat, saying he will drop her off himself.
He accuses her of wanting to leave because she has feelings for someone else, alleging she is having an affair with her friend.Kinjal, furious, raises her hand to slap him but stops upon seeing Pari. She calls Pari to come with her, saying they will go to Nani’s house. Toshu refuses to let Pari leave, and Pakhi supports him, saying Kinjal cannot take her away. Kinjal warns Pakhi not to interfere.
Toshu manipulates Pari, telling her that if she leaves, she won’t be able to return or play with Ansh, Ishu, and Mahi. Pari hesitates and ultimately refuses to go. Meanwhile, Aadhya is running on the road when she hears a radio broadcast stating that Anuj Kapadia’s daughter has killed her sister-in-law. Shocked, she keeps running. Anupama faces the media, insisting that Dimpy’s death was an accident. A reporter questions why Aadhya fled if she was innocent.
Anupama explains that people get scared and run when they see the police. The reporter demands that she call Aadhya. Elsewhere, Aadhya is distraught, wondering where to go now that the police are after her. She believes Anupama wants to hand her over to them. Feeling abandoned, she says, “I expected so much from you, but I was never a priority. The Shahs always came first.”
In anguish, she takes out Anupama’s photo from her locket, tears it apart, and declares that Anupama deserves only hatred, not love. She says, “I hate you.” Back at home, Anupama continues pleading with the media, insisting that Aadhya is innocent. Meanwhile, Aadhya, unaware, watches her mother on a television screen but cannot hear what she is saying.
Aadhya calls Anuj, who reassures her that Anupama told him everything and urges her to come home. Aadhya refuses, fearing that Anupama will hand her over to the police. Anuj promises to come to her and asks for her location. Aadhya tells him she is at Radha Krishna temple and asks him to come quickly. Anuj agrees.
Meanwhile, Bala, Indra, and others discuss the situation. Bala says that while they were planning Anuj and Anupama’s wedding, everything fell apart. Sagar and Meenu feel bad for Aadhya. Indra says that if they weren’t here, Anupama would have been happily living with Anuj and Aadhya.
Bala decides to return to his village, as the land is still in his name. Nandita plans to move to Mumbai for a job, and Meenu reveals she has received a job offer from the US. She asks Sagar if he is ready to go with her. Sagar hesitates but agrees that they should leave. Indra wonders where she will go, and Bala invites her to come with him.
Meanwhile, Anupama cries for Aadhya, wondering how she will answer Anuj, where Aadhya has gone, and how she can prove her innocence. She pleads with Aadhya not to leave her. Anuj, on his way to Aadhya, suddenly feels a severe headache and asks Ankush to stop the car. Ankush stops near a cliff. Anuj gets out, feeling dizzy and weak.
To his shock, Ankush smirks and reveals his true intentions, saying, “Your life is of no use to me, so you must die.” Anupama, sensing something wrong, prays for Aadhya’s safety. Anuj, struggling to stay conscious, realizes Ankush has drugged him. Ankush laughs, saying it’s not his fault that Anuj’s death is written in his fate. He then violently pushes Anuj toward the edge of the cliff.
Despite Anuj’s efforts to resist, Ankush strikes his head with a rock and shoves him off. As he falls, Anuj weakly calls out, “Anu… Aadhya…” At that moment, Anupama, overwhelmed with fear, shouts, “Anuj!” She senses something terrible has happened and refuses to believe that their story could end this way. She orders a search for Anuj and Aadhya.
Back at the house, Pakhi smugly remarks that now even Buddy is missing. Dolly coldly says it is karma. Anupama silences them.The inspector arrives and states that Aadhya has not been found, suspecting that Anupama is hiding her. Dolly supports this claim, saying Anupama must be involved. Anupama, desperate, insists she has no idea where Aadhya is but knows she is innocent. Dolly challenges her to prove it.
Kinjal steps forward, saying she has proof. She accuses Dolly of lying and reveals that Pari saw everything. The inspector asks Pari what happened that day. Pari, gathering courage, says that Aadhya didn’t push Dimpy into the fire. Dolly protests, saying she saw it with her own eyes. Pari insists Dolly is lying. Dolly accuses Pari of covering up for her mother, but Pari stands firm and tells the truth. Anupama becomes emotional, grateful for Pari’s honesty.
