Meanwhile, at the Shah household, Vanraj blames Anupama for creating drama, seemingly displeased with how events have unfolded. Paritosh, too, criticizes Anupama, claiming that nothing better can be expected from her. However, Kinjal steps in, deciding to move past the negativity and focus on celebrating Rakshabandhan with the family. As the celebration preparations are underway, Pakhi notices that Meenu is missing and speculates that she might have gone to see Sagar.
Vanraj grows concerned upon hearing this and learns that Meenu is indeed at a café. There, Meenu continues to press Sagar about his feelings for her, seeking clarity. Sagar, stunned by the revelation that Meenu has feelings for him, tries to avoid the situation, but Meenu is determined to hear his thoughts. As this is happening, Vanraj decides to go after Meenu, worried about what might be transpiring.
In another part of the storyline, Bala becomes restless at the thought of participating in the Rakshabandhan celebration. He seems to be avoiding it, especially the part where Indra will tie the Rakhi. Bala, troubled by his thoughts, searches for Sagar, hoping to discuss his concerns. Anupama, ever observant, understands Bala’s unease but decides not to press him further.
Back at the café, Sagar urges Meenu to stop liking him, fearing that it will only lead to trouble for both of them. He advises her to think about the consequences rather than pursuing her feelings. However, Meenu, undeterred, insists that Sagar should express his true feelings instead of running away from the situation. Sagar, overwhelmed, asks Meenu to stay away from him, just as Vanraj and Paritosh arrive at the café to locate Meenu. To avoid a confrontation, Sagar hides, leaving Meenu to make an excuse about her whereabouts.
As the Shahs finally gather to celebrate Rakshabandhan, the mood lightens. Meenu decides to tie a Rakhi to Titu, which deeply touches him. Kinjal observes this and thinks about how much Titu values relationships, especially considering how Dimple and Vanraj have often treated him poorly. The celebration continues with Indra and Anupama tying Rakhis and sharing their bond. Meenu also ties a Rakhi to Vanraj on behalf of Dolly, prompting Vanraj to ask her to name her gift. Meenu smiles and says she’ll ask for what she wants at the right moment.
