Pandya Store: Natasha suspects Chiku after Hetal's revelation

Tonight's Pandya Store episode begins with Natasha contemplating how to confess the truth to Suman, realizing that nothing is more important than her. Pranali approaches Hetal and requests some onions, to which Hetal readily agrees, telling her she doesn't need to ask. Dolly, on the other hand, asks Hetal to prepare food for her, explaining that her chef fell ill due to food poisoning. Hetal agrees but advises Dolly not to inform Amba, fearing her scolding. They share a secret smile.

Natasha tries to call Hetal but can't reach her. She then calls Dolly, who answers the call. Natasha expresses her desire to speak with Hetal. Dolly inquires why she didn't call Hetal directly, and Natasha finally talks to Hetal, asking her to meet her at the college. Hetal hesitates, saying that Amrish broke her phone after the Rakhi incident, making it impossible for her to come. Natasha insists that she must come and meet her. Hetal apologizes, saying she can't. Natasha then suggests that Hetal tell the family that she's going to college to meet Dhawal and come to meet her. Hetal reluctantly agrees, and Natasha ends the call.

Pranali advises Hetal to go and take lunch for Dhawal and meet Natasha. Hetal agrees, and Dolly promises not to reveal anything to anyone. They share a hug. At the college, Dhawal spots Natasha. Natasha accidentally bumps into a guy named Praveen, causing him to fall. She helps him pick up his papers, and they introduce themselves. Dhawal arrives, feeling jealous. Natasha and Praveen shake hands, making Dhawal even more upset. When Praveen comments on Natasha being an awesome girl, Dhawal loses control and starts to punch him.

He asserts that Natasha is his wife and that she's Praveen's sister from now on. Praveen disagrees, which prompts Dhawal to continue beating him. Natasha intervenes to stop Dhawal and apologizes to Praveen. This leads to a heated argument between Natasha and Dhawal. Dolly records the scene on her phone. Amba arrives and inquires about Hetal. Dolly, with a little help from Pranali, tells her that Hetal went to college. Amba is understanding and acknowledges Hetal's good intentions. Hetal eventually arrives to meet Natasha and reveals that she doesn't have the courage to stand up for her own self-esteem. Natasha explains her situation and how she had to lie to protect Suman, who is very sensitive. Hetal sympathizes but feels helpless, given Amrish's anger and the lack of value she holds in the house. Dhawal suddenly appears, and Hetal informs her about Amrish discovering that Chiku is the rightful heir to the store. She explains that Amrish intends to buy the store directly from Chiku. Natasha is stunned by this revelation, and Hetal expresses her helplessness, apologizing to Natasha and leaving the two alone.

Dhawal and Natasha share a heartfelt moment. Dhawal hopes for a sign that Natasha wants to come back, believing he can convince everyone to accept her return. Meanwhile, the man who had invested money in Amrish's mall project calls and expresses doubts about the project's success. Amrish, frustrated, smashes his phone and contemplates what to do. Natasha wonders if Chiku will hand over the store to Amrish. Chiku, in the meantime, arrives at the Pandya store.

Precap: Natasha visits the Makhwana house and informs Amrish that they no longer need her because they are on the verge of acquiring the Pandya store. However, she surprises everyone by revealing that the store's ownership papers are in her name, and she is willing to give them to Amrish.
