Its raining very heavily. Rudra and Nih are sitting in the car, before Viren's office building. Nih tells Rudra that this is the place from where you have to take the first step. Rudra gets out of the car. Rain is pouring heavily. Rudra is drenched in the rain. He keeps looking at the building.

Inside, Viren is being congragulated by his colleagues and employees for haivng been chosen as the Best Business man of the year. His name is there with a photos in the paper. Viren tells his staff that all are responsible fro this, it is team effort. Viren and his secretary are going to some important deal finalisation. Viren has a big cash with him in the briefcase which his secretary is carrying. Viren and his sec come out with umbrellas , to get into the car. Media people surround viren to take his photo, take his interview. Viren talks to them for sometime. Rudra notices all this from outside the compound.Rudra tells a person who is seated in a car something. Then he moves away from that spot. Viren and his secretary are about to get into their car when this car comes, the person snatches the briefcase from the sec's hands. The car moves. Viren screams for help. From the other side of the road, Rudra comes, stops the car, pulls the person out, hits him hard. The person wantedly injures Rudra on his hand. He starts to bleed. But Rudra manages to win the battle, the person runs, Rudra takes the briefcase and comes to Viren. They both see each other. Viren thanks Rudra and calls him beta. Rudra does not react. Viren then sees his injury. He gets afraid, says your wound appears to be very deep. Rudra looks at his father in anger. Viren gives him a kerchief. Rudra says you are fearing as though it is your blood. Viren says you have shed blood for me, so how do i not worry? Viren asks about Rudra. Rudra says he has come to the city today, has great ambitions. He says he wants his blessings, so that he succeeds in his task. Viren blesses him, says you will definitely achieve what you want to. Rudra says you blessed me without knowing what i want. Viren says as far as i see you, you do not appear to be hungry for money. Rudra says i can aspire for something which even God cannot give or i can aspire for something which means a lot to you. He then says i am not hungry for money, but am hungry for relationships. In this world, relationships can be easily broken, some are very famous at that. Viren says if you ever want some help, i am there. Saying this, he leaves. Rudra looks at his father. He then sees his father's photo lying in the road drenched. He picks it up and looks at the photo in anger.

Arti is contemplating what to do. Her conscience tells her not to help Ved. Arti remembers Kavitha's words, that she has brought happiness in Dhruv's life. So it is her responsibility to keep him happy ever. Arti says to herself, i need to talk to Ved.

Arti calls Ved in a temple. Ved comes. Ved is very hopeful. Arti smiles, says i was waiting for you. She then says i actually promised yoo that i will help you. I also gave you 24 hours time to prove your identity before marriage. But ialso told you one more thing. I told you that once Dhruv puts sinndoor on my maang, once i become his wife, i will not step back even if i know that you are Ved. Ved is shocked. Arti now starts to look really wicked. She says i promised to help you before marriage. It is a coincidence that we met in a temple for the first time. But then, you called me to accept Dhruv as husband. But i refused then bcos i did not know what is the power and value of Sinndoor. But today, i am married, i know its value. So i will not give it up for you. Dhruv is mine. You are Lali, you have lost your identity. Your entire identity is present in this tape , the words in this indicate that you are Ved. But who will know about this if i destroy it? Ved is shocked. Arti tunrs very evil in her face, takes out the cassette from the cover, gives a broad smile, pulls out the tape from the casssette. She then throws the cassette into fire, gives a very wicked smile. Vedi is in tears.

Ved then says to Arti, what have you done? You had prmised to help me. I trusted you. Arti says i promised to help you, so i gave you 24 houes time. But now, i have made a promise to myself that i will not leave my rights for you. So you have no other go but to live your life as Lali. Ved is shocked. She gets angry. Ved screams to Arti that enough is enough. Now i will not listen to all this. You have said what you want to say. Now i will talk. You remember what i said, what i did. But you forgot what you had said previously. You had said every woman has a right to her sinndoor, nobody can take it from her. Now you claim to have the sinndoor. But you too know ther fact that the fate sinndoor of Dhruv lies with me. So i will now challenge before God that i cannot live my life as Lali. I want my rights back. The day i prove myself as Ved, the maang you are proud to possess will be here on my maang. You do anything and everything to protect this sinndoor. But remember truth cannot be under cover for long .Even in the midst of 100 lies, truth is bound to resurface. So i will challenge you that you will have to return my sinndoor to me. Ved goes away after chalenging her. Arti is stunned.

Tomorrow: Uma is in Raizada home. She tells Dhruv that he had to hear the cassette which had Ved's identity. Dhruv asks what cassette. Uma cries, says even before that cassette could reach you, your wife Arti destroyed it. Dhruv is stunned. Arti starts to pretend as though she is innocent.

Thanks sree, yeaaahhhh....vedika come on gal, u rock!!! 😃 Dhruv better not defend aarthi, he shud slap her!! 😡
