Abhira encourages Vidya to feel confident in her outfit, but Vidya remains adamant that Abhira should leave her room.

Elsewhere, Madhav asks the doctor for his phone, but the doctor insists he needs to rest. Madhav attempts to reach out to the family but collapses. Sanjay arrives there and learns about Madhav's attempt to contact Abhira. The doctor assures him of Madhav's condition but reveals the need to keep him under observation. Sanjay is relieved and decides to keep Madhav's accident a secret until Abhira and Armaan's divorce is finalised. This will help him avoid having his law license revoked.
