The family huddles together, reading the letter Tulsi left behind, all of them wondering what kind of man could be behind this. Gautam tells Gupta that Maa clearly wanted them to have this letter, and his gut says the man will call them soon enough.He pieces things together: this mystery person had been calling Tulsi, and that's what led her to go meet him. Gautam tells Gupta to pull the call records immediately, and Mihir makes it clear that the moment anything comes up, he wants to know right away.

Sobha turns to Mihir and reminds him that Gautam loves Maa just as much, and that his only goal right now is finding her.

Noina's blackmail drama

Noina is a complete wreck inside, popping painkillers to hold herself together. She pulls Suchi aside and admits that her plan is falling apart. Suchi is anxiously waiting on a call, and they've somehow managed to arrange money and sure enough, the call comes through.

It's Ranvijay, and he's in full blackmail mode.He gives them an address to send the money, and initially, Noina tells him that Suchi is bringing one crore. But Ranvijay isn't satisfied. He ups the demand to two crores and gives them just two hours. Noina is livid, but Ranvijay knows exactly which buttons to push. He warns her flat out: fail to deliver, and he'll spill everything to Tulsi. He reminds Noina that she's his first preference, chilling words that leave her with no choice.

Noina agrees to the two crores and scrambles to arrange the additional cash. Suchi, on her end, is stressed about how she'll even manage to carry it all out.

Munni's shocking discovery

Nandini seems to buy it, and the two leave without raising further suspicion.What they don't know is that Munni has followed Suchi. And what Munni sees at the address stops her cold, Suchi handing over a massive amount of money to a man wearing a mask.

Munni had her doubts before, but now they're confirmed. She stays hidden, not wanting to be spotted, but her mind is racing, wondering who this masked man is and why Suchi is involved with him.At the address, Ranvijay tells Suchi to bring the bag quickly and checks the money himself. Suchi reminds him of his promise and asks how he even knows about her sister. Ranvijay brushes her off, tells her not to overthink, and sends her on her way.

Angad-Bharti wedding crisis

On a completely different note, things get dramatic on the Angad-Bharti front. Angad brings Bharti home with help from Nandu and Kajri.

The atmosphere is tense. Dada asks Bharti to explain herself, and she turns to Angad, asking him to just be honest.

He tells Dada he needs more time to earn money, that he has too many responsibilities on his shoulders, and that he'll marry Bharti next year.Then, in a rare moment of honesty, Angad tells Bharti she should have listened to him. Dada doesn't trust Angad anymore, but Bharti steps up to take some of the blame. She tells Dada she acted impulsively, and Angad saved her life by risking his own.

She apologises to Angad sincerely. Angad, in turn, apologises to Dada for causing him pain.Dada's final words are firm but fair. He tells Angad not to break anyone's trust and that he'll be watching him closely from now on.

She fears the worst, that Angad will actually end up marrying Bharti. But Angad stands firm. He tells her clearly that he will not marry Bharti. He adds that their goal is almost within reach.
