BhagyaLakshmi- Rishi trying to convince Lakshmi
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, an amusing encounter between Rishi and Lakshmi unfolds. The two argue, with Rishi trying to convince Lakshmi to give him another chance. Lakshmi, however, is focused on cooking for the children and tries to carry on with her task. In an attempt to help her, Rishi accidentally knocks over some flour, covering them both in a cloud of white. The children, upon seeing them, joke that they look like ghosts. Despite the mess, Rishi and Lakshmi share a rare moment of laughter, playing with the flour and even taking selfies with the kids, all covered in flour.
BhagyaLakshmi- Malishka scold Lakshmi
The playful atmosphere, however, is short-lived. Neelam arrives in the kitchen and is immediately displeased by the scene. She reprimands both Rishi and Lakshmi for the chaos they’ve created. Malishka, who follows Neelam into the kitchen, takes the opportunity to scold Lakshmi as well, but Rishi quickly takes responsibility for the mess. Despite this, Neelam orders them to clean up, and they leave the kitchen while Mukesh is tasked with tidying up.
BhagyaLakshmi- Shalu receives a call from Rohan
The scene then shifts to Rano, who notices Shalu looking troubled. Shalu receives a call from Rohan, who recounts the fun they had playing Holi with flour and mentions the cold bath Rishi and Lakshmi had to take because the geyser was broken. Shalu, however, cuts the call short, unable to hear properly, and then dismisses Rano’s concerns before urging her to sleep.
BhagyaLakshmi- Karishma reassures Neelam
Back at the Oberoi house, Karishma points out to Neelam that Lakshmi and Rishi seem to be enjoying family time together with the kids. Neelam, displeased, remarks that it should be Malishka in that frame, not Lakshmi. Karishma reassures Neelam that she has a plan to remove Lakshmi and mentions that she will talk to Malishka about it. Neelam, determined to win the battle against Lakshmi, is resolute in her decision to confront her in her way.
Later, Ayush notices that Rishi is shivering. Concerned, Ayush asks why he didn’t wait for the geyser to be fixed before taking a bath. Rishi admits that the cold bath is the reason for his shivering, reflecting the lengths he’s willing to go to for the light-hearted moments he shared with Lakshmi.
Shalu, meanwhile, meets with Rohan and Paro. They discuss the cold bath incident, and Shalu explains that she pretended not to hear Rohan on the phone earlier to keep their plan to reunite Lakshmi and Rishi a secret. The trio, united in their goal, resolve to continue working towards bringing the estranged couple back together.
BhagyaLakshmi- Rishi and Lakshmi find themselves missing each other
After her bath, Lakshmi notices traces of flour still in her hair. This small reminder brings back memories of her time with Rishi, and despite her determination to stay strong, she can’t help but think of him. Rishi, on the other hand, is confident that Lakshmi still has feelings for him, though she tries to suppress them for the sake of others, particularly Paro. Both Rishi and Lakshmi find themselves missing each other, despite the emotional walls they’ve built.
Rohan later updates Shalu that the couple is still arguing, but Shalu is optimistic. She reassures him that these fights are just the beginning of resolving the deeper issues between Rishi and Lakshmi. She joins forces with the children, confident that their efforts will eventually bring the couple back together.
The episode concludes with Malishka vowing to Karishma that she will do whatever it takes to separate Rishi and Lakshmi. Simultaneously, Neelam realizes that Rishi and Lakshmi are growing closer, a bond seemingly strengthened by Paro’s presence, making her all the more determined to intervene.
The ongoing drama, filled with light-hearted moments and deeper emotional undercurrents, sets the stage for the complexities that lie ahead for the Oberoi family. As alliances shift and new strategies are devised, the relationships between the characters continue to evolve, promising more twists and turns in the days to come.
