Arshi says don’t go away from me, Ani. Anirudh sees Jhanak in Arshi. He holds her. Ek dil hai… plays. Arshi asks if he is able to feel that she looks like Arshi from outside, but he can feel Jhanak by touching her. She says Jhanak is here. Anirudh holds her and says he loves her, Jhanak. Arshi says she loves him too, and that Jhanak also wants to say the same to him. She asks him to accept her and hugs him.
Arshi keeps repeating the same things. She says they have become one now, he said he loved Arshi before and loves Jhanak now, and that she is Jhanak from within. She asks if he doesn’t love her now. Anirudh says he loves her a lot, Jhanak. He hugs her. She asks if Arshi means nothing to him and tells him she has kept Jhanak in her. She says if he touches her, then he can feel Jhanak and asks him to trust her. He nods. She gets close to him. He imagines Jhanak in her. They get close.
Later, Arshi gets up and sees Anirudh sleeping. She smiles. It’s morning. Vinayak comes to meet Jhanak. She says Kaka, you… and makes an excuse. He says no, she can call him Kaka. She thinks how she made such a big mistake. He asks if Brijbhushan is at home. She says yes, of course, and asks him to come in. She takes him to Brijbhushan. Brij asks if everything is fine. Vinayak says yes, he wanted to talk to him. He asks Jhanak for a cup of tea. She goes.
Brij asks how he can help. Vinayak says he can solve his life. Brij asks what it is. Vinayak says Brij had a family before. Brij asks who told him. Vinayak says he also wants to get rid of the same pain. Brij asks what he means. Vinayak says Brij knows Shrishti. Brij says yes, she is Vinayak’s wife. Vinayak says Brij had trained her. Brij says yes, he had many students. Vinayak asks if that’s all. Brij says yes.
Jhanak gets the tea. Vinayak asks what the name of Shrishti’s mother is. Brij asks why, saying she has passed away, and questions why he wants to know her name. Vinayak says his marriage happened 25 years ago, but the foundation is based on a lie. He wants Brij to know his life. Anuradha explains to Appu not to go anywhere without telling her. She says she loves her a lot and doesn’t want to lose her. She cries. Appu promises.
Brij asks what he will do by hearing about Vinayak’s life. Vinayak says maybe he will feel bad about it. Jhanak says she will just come. Vinayak says Brij has grown up, and asks how long he will hide from these matters. He wants to tell him something, maybe he already knows it. Brij asks what he means. Vinayak says he used to madly love a girl, and they had a child. Then she left everything and went to Delhi, saying she had to join a dance workshop for her career.
She came back after one year. He used to talk to her sometimes. She came back once, and he thought she had learnt her life’s most important dance lesson. Brij asks why he is telling him this. Vinayak says nobody knows Shrishti better than Brij and wants to know one thing. He says this girl is actually Jhanak, and asks what Brij’s relation with her is. He asks if Brij is really her dad. Brij says she is Nutan, and Jhanak is dead.
Vinayak says this story doesn’t apply to him. He says Brij thinks Shrishti doesn’t know, but she knows everything. She knows Nutan is Jhanak.
Appu sits talking to the doll and says she knows Jhanak is alive. Lalon gets a work call. He asks Appu not to go out, saying there is no one at home. Appu agrees. He says they are trying to find Jhanak. She says Nutan is Jhanak. He says Nutan is her lookalike.
She says Jhanak is fooling all of them, but she can’t fool her. Commissioner Kaka comes and greets. Vinayak says he found this picture and asks them to check it. They see Shrishti and Brij’s picture with a baby. Brij says it’s Arshi. Vinayak says no, Arshi was with him, this is Jhanak. He says he didn’t come to harm them, it’s their fight and they should be together.
He says Jhanak, he knows she is Jhanak. When she called him Kaka, he was upset hearing the news of her death. He understands now that it happened for the good. Brij says he has come here for a motive. Vinayak says Shrishti cheated him for 25 years. She only loved his status and money. She used to hate his family. He was poor before, and when he became successful, she made him cut ties with his family.
She didn’t give a good upbringing to Arshi, but Arshi is not as clever and dangerous as Shrishti. He has come to invite them to the anniversary, saying he will unmask Shrishti that day. That will be the biggest gift for her. Brij asks why he thinks people will believe his story. Vinayak says it’s fine, he and Jhanak will be there. He asks Jhanak if she can’t help him. Lalon and Appu ask the Commissioner about Jhanak. She asks him to catch the culprits. The Commissioner says he came to talk about something important.
Anuradha comes and asks how he came. He says he had to talk to Lalon. Anuradha and Appu go to get sweets. The Commissioner asks Lalon about the threatening message. Lalon says they don’t know who informed Shubh. The Commissioner says Deepak had threatened Shubh. They got help to make a case against Tejas. That production boy might have gotten killed. Lalon worries.
Vinayak says he has to solve his life. He has also faced insults. Shrishti made Brij go away, but not him. She wanted money from him. If he reveals her truth, she might get him killed. He says he knows Shrishti and Tejas were involved in Jhanak’s accident. He is ashamed to say it, but she can kill her daughter. He spent 25 years with her. Brij just loved her but didn’t spend life with her. She is very dangerous. She only loves herself, not anyone else.
He came to ask for their help. He says Jhanak knows how he lives there and knows her relation with Shrishti. He says not to worry, he knows she is Jhanak. Brij asks if he wants to stay with Shrishti. Vinayak says no. If she knows he knows her secret, then he will be scared that she might kill him. He wants Shrishti to get punished for her sins. He says Jhanak has to raise her voice.
Jhanak asks what. He asks why not, and says she has faced injustice and questions if she can’t speak up. The Commissioner says Tejas might have killed that production guy. He says not to worry, he will find out about him. Lalon says fine. Appu thinks Nutan is Jhanak. The Commissioner says Nutan’s records don’t exist. He tells them about Brij and Kul. He asks about Jhanak’s mother.
Appu gets sweets and says she knows. She asks him to eat the sweets first, then she will tell him. He asks them to share the sweets. At the temple, Anirudh sees Jhanak and says she is here. She asks why, can’t she come here. He says it’s an auspicious day, and he came to pray. He asks what her wish is, does she want to become a famous dancer.
She asks why she should tell her wish. He says he didn’t come to make a wish for himself. She says he came to wish for his wife. He says yes, Jhanak isn’t alive. She says he doesn’t believe it. He says he does believe she is dead, but he wants to meet her once in the next birth. She says she heard Arshi is his wife. He says to forget it.
She says they will do puja. He asks together. She says no. He says he didn’t expect to meet her there. She says no one can stop them if it’s written in their fate. They talk. Pandit says she had come there to pray for her husband and he had asked her to get her husband when he recovers. Jhanak recalls the pandit’s words. Pandit says she came late.
