Anjana, however, issues a threatening warning, stating that witnessing Appu eating will lead to her own distressing demise.

Amidst the tension, Tanuja lectures Jhanak, prompting Anirudh to intervene once again. Jhanak stands her ground, asserting that while Anjana may have her way in her house, principles of right and wrong remain unchanged.

During the family dinner, Jhanak discovers a cake and flowers left by Anirudh, intending to return them. However, Arshi misinterprets the gesture and questions Jhanak's financial source, leading to a tense confrontation. Jhanak clarifies that she didn't request the gifts from Anirudh, but Arshi remains skeptical.
