He believes that exposing her supposed wrong doing will destroy her career aspirations.
Meanwhile, Chhotan is pressured about his relationship with Mrinalini. He doesn’t want to commit to her because he lacks a stable income and doesn’t want more complications in his life.

Chhotan, under pressure from his family, reluctantly agrees to discuss marriage. His family is eager to seize this opportunity and begins talking about his wedding. When Ajanta mentions Chhotan’s marriage, Appu becomes excited and expresses her own desire to marry. When asked about her chosen partner, Appu names Lalan, surprising everyone. Her family scolds her for being so eager.
Following Brijbhushan’s and the judges’ demands, Jhanak steps on stage to apologize. Rudra is shocked by her sudden decision, not wanting her to lower herself before everyone. However, she decides to expose Brijbhushan’s hypocrisy instead of continuing with the scripted apology.
The episode ends on this dramatic note, leaving the audience eager for the next twist in the story.
