Major highlights of the show until July 24th.
- There's bitterness between Vyasji and his son, Neelkanth, because Vyasji has always prioritized his religious duties over his familial ones
- One particular incident that has hardened Neel towards his father revolves around his mother. With her dying breath, she was asking for Vyasji to give her holy water, but because Vyasji was busy in a prayer, he couldn't do it. Neel's mother ultimately died, and it ended up creating a major rift between Vyasji and Neel.
- In his entire family, Neel is extremely close to his sister, Saraswati, as she's the one who has taken care of him like a mother, once their own had passed away
- Since Neel's mother used to be highly praised for her cooking skills, Neel chose to honor and remember her by becoming a chef. When we're introduced to him, he's working at a five star restaurant as a chef.
- He is called back to his hometown, Devprayag, as there is a big religious event taking place. For this, he was asked to make sweets.
- On the day he was leaving, Chahat accidentally takes his bag of sweets. Neel chases after her, and sees that she has given all the sweets to some kids who were being forced to beg.
- Chahat and Neel develop a bickering relationship. Neel, who has a motto of doing one good deed a day, ends up helping Chahat whenever he sees her. Chahat also tries to help him out whenever she can because she doesn't want any of his favors to hang over her head.
- Once Neel comes back home, his father is really unhappy with him and is constantly taunting Neel that he's unworthy of becoming a High Priest. Neel, too constantly rubs in Vyasji's face that he's only back for his sister, and no one else since his father had died the same day as his mother.
- Chahat, on the other hand, has a very loving relationship with her dad, Mr. Baig. No matter how hard her step-mother, and step-brother try to create rifts, they don't work since her dad trusts Chahat a lot.
- Saraswati who is eight months pregnant, panics, and Neel takes her to the hospital. Godamvari, who was suspicious of them leaving in a hurry follows them.
- Saraswati is taken to Dr. Baig's clinic who is her gynecologist. Since he is out tending to another patient, Chahat takes care of her.
- Godamvari sees the three of them together, and assumes that Chahat is Neel's girlfriend. Neel's actual girlfriend is Meera, who lives back in Delhi.
- During Saraswati's baby shower, Godamvari tries to humiliate her by saying that her baby is illegitimate because it has been conceived via IVF treatment.
- After a lot of drama, Vyasji accepts the child by blowing the conch shell.
- Godamvari once again tries to stir up more drama by bringing up Neel's girlfriend. Saraswati gets riled up as well, and places the ultimatum that if Neel's girlfriend isn't accepted as his daughter-in-law, then he will see her dead face. She also refuses to attend the prayer.
- On the night of the big prayer, Neel is headed back to Delhi. Chahat is on her way to buy a cake for her dad when it gets spoiled because of him. She insists that he provide her a new one, and to get her off his back, he goes to his friend's bakery to bake her a new one.
- Saraswati on the other hand, finds out that her husband, Alekh, is having an affair with her sister, Naveli. In public, they used to present themselves as having a heated relationship, and never getting along.
- Saraswati tells Alekh that she's going to the prayer to expose his truth to everyone.
- Alekh stops her from doing so by pushing her off a bridge. He tried to choke her as well, but stops when he sees people heading his way. He decides to take her to Dr. Baig's clinic instead so that when she dies, he can place the entire blame on him. Then, using people's religious sentiments, he can manipulate the situation into protecting himself.
- Neel, who feels anxious, comes back home because he's constantly calling Saraswati but she's not picking up.
- At the hospital, Chahat helps her dad with the delivery. She notices that there are some abrasions on Saraswati's knees, and Saraswati manages to say "push" to her. Chahat suspects somebody had deliberately pushed her.
