Abhi dreams that Neil is Akshu and picks him up and spins him in the morning! For some reason Neil was sleeping on the grass all night LOL!
He goes in through Akshu’s window and sees that she’s not there. He thinks that she must be sad she is leaving home so with her family — he cannot even take Aarohi’s name haha. Just then Aarohi comes in and they realize Akshu is missing. Kairav and Vansh also come to help find her + they look at the CCTV — they see the guys chasing her. Abhi goes into their room and badly beats up Himanshu. Himanshu says he didn’t do anything, but Abhi says he thought about it and he won’t tolerate it. He cannot stand even the slightest harm coming to her… even if it was in someone’s mind. Aarohi slaps the other guy and Vansh and Kairav also beat them up. Akshu sees this happening and breaks the window to alert Abhi.
Abhi goes running to her. He is literally in tears. Akshu jumps into his arms and they both cry. Abhi says he isn’t going to leave these men, and he tells her that she should never be alone, because she always get herself into trouble. She says she doesn’t do it on purpose, and he says it’s ok… it’s so that he can always be her hero. This was such a beautiful parallel to all of the other things he has ever saved her from goons. He always gets mad, but immediately melts. He says that he cannot stand the thought of anything happening to her, and she apologizes for worrying him. Kairav, Vansh, and Aarohi are also there making sure she’s okay.
Then, we get a beautiful Udaipur parallel. This time, after he saves her from the goons, he tells her he will walk her back to her room. She refuses for 1 second, and immediately agrees. They walk back hand in hand… just like he took her back to the resort! It was so beautiful!
Meanwhile, the Goenkas and Birlas are going at it as to whether the haldi will be joint or separate. Mimi woke up late, which pisses Mahima off because they were scared and came on time lol. Manish tells her to calm down and stop acting like a NASA shuttle left without her. There is a lot of back and forth, but the Goenkas say that they will do whatever the Birlas want — and they decide they want to do haldi separately, even though Goenkas think it will be more fun together.
The Birlas get to their haldi set up and think Parth has done it, but in reality, it is Kairav — just like Harsh wanted. This sick mindset! They are looking for Abhi, and Harsh taunts that he is with Akshu while they are rotting in the heat. Anand says all of the kids are idiots and Nishita is their only hope. Shefali finally makes a comeback to Parth and says he should learn how to be a caring husband from Abhi. I am so glad she isn’t tolerating his BS anymore.
The episode ends with Abhi waiting outside for Akshu + she comes all ready. He compliments her, and they go to haldi hand in hand!
Precap is haldi happening together + as expected, Aarohi has lost Akshu’s lenegha. Akshu is crying and Abhi says why did you give her this responsibility.
Today, Aarohi was entirely whitewashed, but I think that after this lengha drama (which was an accident), she will create an intentional kaand!
