Udne Ki Aasha: Tejas returns money to Sachin, Sayali suggests he should 'invest' in growing buisness

The episode begins with a quiet, heartfelt exchange between Sayali and Riya in a secluded corner of the house. Sayali opens up about her concerns regarding Renuka’s past actions, expressing her belief that it’s best to keep such matters within the family. Her intent is to protect the household's dignity and avoid bringing shame or gossip upon them. Riya, showing understanding and loyalty, assures Sayali that she won’t say a word to her mother about what she knows.

However, the conversation doesn’t remain private. Unknown to the two, Renuka overhears a part of it from a distance. Unfortunately, she misinterprets the conversation and becomes convinced that Sayali is trying to present herself as morally superior in front of Riya. To Renuka, it seems like an elaborate attempt to earn admiration by putting on a false show of righteousness, which leaves her feeling both suspicious and insulted. In another part of the story, Tejas and Roshni are facing serious financial stress. They are under pressure to repay the debt they owe to Sachin. Recently, the police had confiscated some goods from Tejas’s shop, which were found to be part of an illegal transaction. Although the goods are now being returned, there’s a catch — they must pay a substantial amount of ₹1 lakh to retrieve them. This creates a fresh hurdle in their already strained circumstances.

Sachin and Sayali step in to try and maintain peace and emotional balance in the household. Their efforts are aimed at calming the rising tensions and preventing the situation from spiraling out of control. Yet, despite their attempts, a deep emotional divide remains—especially between Paresh and Renuka. Paresh, still hurt and emotionally distant, continues to avoid any interaction with his wife. His silence speaks volumes, and his cold attitude weighs heavily on the family. Later, Roshni returns home with a surprising update. She hands over a sum of ₹2 lakh to Paresh, claiming it was given by her father. Though grateful for the help, Paresh remains stoic and instructs Tejas to personally deliver the money to Sachin. When Tejas approaches Sachin with the partial payment, Sachin initially refuses to accept it, pointing out that the amount is only half of what he is owed. After a moment of hesitation and thought, Sachin eventually agrees to accept the money, realizing that partial repayment is at least a start. This gesture, though small, softens Renuka’s mood, and she feels a glimmer of pride seeing Tejas take responsibility for the situation.

Meanwhile, Sayali has a candid moment with Sachin, where she shares her values. She tells him that the jewelry she chooses to wear must hold emotional significance — specifically, that it should come from her husband. She sees such gifts as more than just material objects; they represent love, respect, and connection. She also suggests a practical plan: purchasing another vehicle that could help boost their family income. Sayali believes that with shared effort and smart decisions, they can work towards a better future. Her words strike a chord with Sachin, and the couple shares a renewed sense of partnership and hope.

Later in the evening, Sayali quietly approaches her father-in-law, Paresh. She gently encourages him to return to his bedroom, suggesting that holding onto resentment may not bring peace. But Paresh, still emotionally wounded and unwilling to reconcile with Renuka, refuses. He cannot bring himself to share a room with her again. Meanwhile, Renuka, holding her pillow, walks out to the living room, silently accepting her isolation. She lays down on the couch, while Paresh retreats to the bedroom alone, offering no words or expressions.

A tense moment follows when Renuka confronts Sayali. Fueled by her own hurt and assumptions, she accuses Sayali of manipulating situations within the family to cast herself in a favorable light. She believes that both Sayali and Riya have disrespected her and tarnished her dignity. Sayali, maintaining her composure, firmly denies any such intentions. She clarifies that she has never sought pity, forgiveness, or praise—and that everything she’s done has come from a place of concern, not calculation.

Riya, who witnesses this confrontation, begins to see through Renuka’s behavior. She starts recognizing the pattern in Renuka’s actions — playing the victim when cornered and using emotional manipulation to shift blame. Renuka, in turn, grows visibly irritated by Riya’s bluntness and lack of deference, further deepening the emotional divide.

As the episode nears its end, Sachin takes a significant step. Encouraged by Sayali’s vision, he agrees to invest in purchasing another car. He sees it not just as a practical financial decision, but as a stepping stone toward greater independence and improved income. This decision symbolizes progress — a shared dream beginning to take shape, built on teamwork, trust, and determination.
