Scene 1: Raunak and Prarthna’s Conversation
The episode begins with Prarthna trying to leave, but Raunak stops her. “I like you,” Raunak says suddenly. “I don’t know what’s attracting me toward you.” Prarthna is startled by his words. Before she can respond, Raunak quickly adds, “I was just teasing you.” He smirks and continues, “I was actually complimenting you.” Payal, overhearing their conversation, drops a vase to interrupt them. The sound startles both Raunak and Prarthna. Prarthna takes the opportunity to leave without saying another word.
Scene 2: Smita Refuses Kinjal’s Request
Later, Smita sits with Kinjal and Baa to discuss Harsh’s future. “I won’t give Rs 25 lakhs for Harsh to go abroad and study,” Smita declares firmly. Kinjal tries to explain. “Harsh doesn’t want to go abroad. He wants to study engineering, but he needs Rs 25 lakhs as a donation to finalize his admission.” Smita shakes her head. “Even after doing engineering, he’ll end up sitting in the shop. Why waste money? Ask him to do an MBA instead.” With that, Smita leaves the room. Kinjal turns to Baa, frustrated. “Harsh’s dreams are shattered now,” she says. Baa reassures her. “I’ll do something about it.” Kinjal sighs. “There’s no use. Once Smita says no, it’s final.” She leaves, feeling defeated.
Scene 3: Raunak and Payal’s Argument
Raunak confronts Payal later. “Do you like getting insulted?” he asks sharply. “You still come to me even after everything that happened.” Payal feels hurt but stays calm. “You’re not my type either,” Raunak comments coldly. Payal responds diplomatically. “Let our parents decide what’s best for us,” she says and walks away.
Scene 4: Harsh Teases Raunak
Harsh enters Raunak’s room and teases him about Payal. “What’s going on between you two?” he jokes. Raunak brushes him off with a sarcastic remark. “Mind your own business,” he says. Harsh laughs and leaves the room, leaving Raunak alone with his thoughts.

The choreographer arrives at Raunak’s house to teach the family how to dance. Everyone gathers to practice. Vihaan comes in and takes Smita’s blessings before joining the group. Vihaan and Sneha perform a dance routine together, impressing everyone. Later, Raunak enters wearing a sherwani to join the practice. Smita approaches Raunak. “You need to dance with Payal during the Sangeet,” she instructs. Raunak objects immediately. “I don’t want to,” he says firmly. But Smita insists. “Do it for the family,” she urges. Reluctantly, Raunak agrees.
Scene 6: Raunak Dances with Payal and Tanuj
During the practice, Raunak dances with Payal but ignores her completely. Instead, he focuses on dancing with Tanuj. Smita notices this and calls Prarthna over. “Dance with Tanuj,” Smita tells Prarthna. Prarthna nods and steps in to dance with Tanuj. Her graceful moves earn praise from everyone present. Later, Raunak dances with Prarthna. Their performance is well-received, and everyone compliments Prarthna for her skills.

Gayatri replies casually, “I went to the modeling agency instead of the coaching class.” Prarthna listens silently, unsure of how to respond.
