Kiara teases Abhir, pointing out how he seems even more thrilled than her, hinting at a deeper bond or connection. Watching their camaraderie, Charu silently feels a pang of sadness, observing the closeness developing between Kiara and Abhir.

Elsewhere, Kaajal drops a surprising piece of news to Surekha and Swarna - Krish has joined the family law firm. The revelation shocks both women. Swarna, still adjusting to the news, tries to lighten the moment and asks Krish whether he will at least dance at their function. However, Krish firmly declines, stating that his sole focus will now be on building a career in law, implying a shift in priorities and maturity.

As the function progresses, Armaan (Rohit Purohit) begins to notice that Ruhi is missing from the crowd. Concerned, he quietly slips away and finds her sitting alone at the Poddar house, shedding tears in isolation. Her emotional state reflects her loneliness and internal battles. On the other hand, back at the event, Abhira looks around for Armaan, wondering where he's disappeared amidst the celebration.

ARMAAN TAKES A STAND FOR RUHI; PERFORMS PUJA WITH HER

Eventually, Armaan returns with Ruhi by his side. Their arrival doesn't go unnoticed, and soon whispers begin circulating among the guests. The gossip about Ruhi becomes evident, causing discomfort. Armaan, unable to stay silent, confronts the murmuring guests. He passionately defends Ruhi, questioning what wrong she has done to deserve such judgment. He asserts that even Ruhi deserves happiness, especially after everything she has endured, earning her some dignity in the moment.

As the tension subsides, the family gathers together to perform the puja. While Abhira takes responsibility for looking after Daksh, it is Ruhi and Armaan who perform the rituals together.

Post-puja, the atmosphere lightens as the family decides to play a fun game before breaking their fasts. The game brings smiles and laughter, and Abhira emerges as the winner, adding another cheerful moment to the day. However, the sight of Armaan and Abhira enjoying themselves stirs a fresh wave of sadness in Ruhi, who watches them with quiet despair.

Eventually, the fast is broken, and everyone begins to relax and mingle. Amidst the chatter, Kiara finally gets a chance to speak privately with Samrat. Their exchange seems personal, yet distant. Meanwhile, Abhir watches from afar, his expression turning to anger and disappointment. He's upset that Kiara didn't introduce him to Samrat, leaving him feeling sidelined and confused.

Now, it'll be interesting to see if Armaan's concern for Ruhi and her feelings for him will create a problem for Abhira or not.
