Meanwhile, Abhir excitedly shows the engagement ring he purchased to Kiara and seeks her honest opinion. Kiara compliments the ring, calling it elegant, but also shares that Kaveri wants them to use her ancestral ring instead. Abhir explains that he chose this ring specifically to win Manisha's approval.

Curious, Kiara asks how long he intends to keep trying to win over Manisha. Abhir responds emotionally, saying he will continue until Manisha finally softens. He opens up about never receiving a mother's affection in his own life and promises Kiara that he will never let her feel that emptiness.

Elsewhere, Madhav informs Vidya that the ancestral ring meant for the engagement is missing. Vidya immediately panics, fearing the impact this could have on Abhir and Kiara's engagement ceremony. Determined to fix the situation, Madhav starts going through old photographs to recreate an exact replica of the ring. He also confesses that he hasn't yet told Abhira about the missing ring, adding that he is worried about how the situation might spiral out of control.

Unsatisfied, Armaan tells Sanjay to question Krish about the transaction, suspecting that Krish might be dealing with serious trouble. This leads to a heated argument between Sanjay and Krish, further escalating tensions within the family.

Abhira tries to call Madhav, but he deliberately avoids her call. Later, she approaches him directly and asks if she should collect the rings he had sent for polishing.

Vidya hurriedly notes down the car number of the buyer and pleads with the jeweller to get the ring back. However, the jeweller demands double the original price, leaving Vidya stunned. Determined to manage the situation without attracting attention, Krish decides to use a traveller vehicle while arranging the money, hoping to avoid being caught.

Back at home, Sanjay asks Kaveri if she is anxious about Kajal and Manisha possibly skipping the function. Kaveri admits her concern and urges Sanjay to convince Kajal to attend. Kajal initially refuses, still haunted by thoughts of Charu, but Sanjay gently consoles her and persuades her to come for Charu's sake. Kaveri then personally approaches Manisha, requesting her to be present at the ceremony.

To calm him down, Abhira gently kisses him, offering reassurance.
