He goes as far as to suggest that she is trying to manipulate him. Aniruddha recalls their time together in Kashmir, particularly a night they spent together, but his memory is foggy. Despite the hazy recollections, Aniruddha starts to believe that Jhanak and Aditya are conspiring against him to ruin his reputation.
Jhanak tries to remind Aniruddha of everything she has done for him. She tells him how she followed every single one of his instructions, putting aside her own desires and happiness. She even went as far as to call off her own marriage to be by his side. However, this time, she is fighting not just for herself but for her unborn child.

She recalls how her mother was humiliated by society, leading to her attempted suicide. However, Jhanak is determined not to let history repeat itself with her child. She vows to fight for justice and protect her baby at all costs.
Jhanak reminds Aniruddha about the night in Kashmir when he was unwell and had dragged her towards his bed. Aniruddha’s anger flares up again. He accuses Jhanak of carrying Aditya’s child, suggesting that she is only pinning the responsibility on him because Aditya refuses to accept the baby.

Jhanak, now emotional, confesses her deep feelings for Aniruddha. She explains that her affection for him was so profound that she found it difficult to resist his advances.
The scene shifts to Jhanak, Anjana, and Chhoton visiting Mrinalini’s home to invite her to Appu’s wedding. While Mrinalini greets Jhanak and Anjana warmly, she pointedly ignores Chhoton, not even asking him to sit down. It is clear that Mrinalini still harbors a grudge against Chhoton because of past insults. Sensing the tension, Jhanak intervenes and attempts to mediate between Chhoton and Mrinalini. She manages to calm the situation, easing the animosity between the two.
After settling the dispute, Anjana and Jhanak open up to Mrinalini about the difficulties their family is facing. They share how Appu wishes to celebrate all the traditional rituals for her wedding, and Anjana requests permission to hold these rituals at Mrinalini’s home.
