Filler episode with some nice moments!
Neil says that Aarohi cannot do anything right and she starts her usual drama, saying that Abhi cannot find out or he will kill her. Neil says that this is about Akshu — not her. Again, she has made it all about herself and her feelings on Akshu’s big day. She is so selfish.
Akshu comes and finds out what has happened. She has flashbacks to Swarna and Mimi talking to her about the leghna and how Manjari sent it to her with so much love. It’s not just clothing — it’s an emotional attached to the most important day of her life.
Abhi calls her and says that he cannot wait to see her. Manjari wanted to show him a photo of the lengha, but he didn’t want to see it, because he cares about his bride, not her clothes. But, he says that what she wears today will go down in their history together. He is so overcome with emotions, wishing he was a poet instead of a doctor. Akshu starts sobbing and forgets to hang up the phone. The poor girl falls to the ground sobbing.
The Goenkas find out what has happened, and they are so over Aarohi. Manish says that she cannot do anything right. Aarohi, instead of accepting blame, says that Vansh also lost the engagement rings. She is back to self victimizing herself, but the Goenkas are not tolerating it any longer!
Abhi arrives there and says that whatever Aarohi is told to do, she always does the opposite. He tells Akshu that she should have never given this job to Aarohi, and she apologizes. He says that it’s not her fault and makes her promise that she won’t ruin her mood because of this — her outfit is important, but her happiness is more important. He says that she could come in her night dress, and she would look just as pretty. The look on Manish’s face during this scene was priceless. He is so proud of Abhi. He is so proud that his daughter is marrying this man!
The Goenkas remember they sent some stuff to the mandir, and Kariav calls to confirm the lengha is there. Abhi says he will go himself, because Kairav is busy with other stuff. The Goenkas refuse, but Abhi doesn’t listen. He says Akshu’s happiness is his responsibility now. Aarohi wants to go get it, but he basically tells her to stay away from everything now.
Noteworthy scene, because Akshu is no longer defending Aarohi. The placement is also significant, because Abhira are standing together (not looking at each other to abide by the rules) with Neil in between and Aarohi on one side with the Goenkas behind her. Abhira are together now. This is their journey and how they will face everyone together!!
Abhi runs to the jeep, and this scene was brilliantly filmed. He is on the phone with Neil, and Shefali overhears that the lengha is missing. The dynamics of Shefali vs. Akshu have been set up, because Manjari wants to give their family necklace to Akshu, which Shefali feels bad about because she is the eldest bahu. Manjari has already asked Mahima about this, but Mahima denies it on purpose to trigger Shefali. Shefali gets upset and goes away, but Manjari stays strong. She says that she is giving it to Akshu, because there is nothing else and it is what she wants. Akshu is already making Manjari stronger. Again, she is going to change the dynamics of the Birla household entirely. This pisses Mahima off, and of course this is setting up the post-shaadi dynamics. But, at the end of the day, Akshu will be the one to come out on top with her pure heart and kindness!
The Goenka women show up to the necklace rasam late, and of course Shefali has told Mahima that the lengha is missing. There are some taunts that go around including how it is apshagun for the dual to leave after haldi. Manjari diverts the topic, but Akshu cannot focus. She runs away from the rasam right after it is done because she is so stressed. On the phone, she tells Abhi that he is more important than any clothing so just come back soon.
Meanwhile, Abhi arrives and sees Aarohi there.
The precap has the Birlas stressing out as to where Abhi is. Abhi and Aarohi are coming back in the same car, and the tire is punched. Abhi gets suspicious that Aarohi has done all of this on purpose, and meanwhile, Akshu is sobbing her eyes out. I am also suspicious that Aarohi might have punched the tire on purpose.
