Anjana confirms Jhanak's statement and wonders why she hasn't applied sindoor. Anirudh and Arshi arrive, and Anirudh questions the urgency of their return. Arshi mentions a workshop, but Dadi presses Jhanak for an explanation.

Bipasha informs everyone about Jhanak's upcoming sindoor ceremony and suggests a video call to reveal her husband.

He discovers her and stops her from leaving, reading the letter she left for him.

Anirudh expresses concern for Jhanak's safety and urges her to stay until the right time, promising to drop her when it's safe. Jhanak remains skeptical but agrees to stay back for a few more days.
