Anupama sends Banku to rest, says she will cook, and wishes that Digvijay shouldn’t get angry. Meanwhile, Digvijay comes downstairs and, upon discovering Banku’s poor health, refuses to eat Anupama’s food and volunteers to order something, but his doctor friend chooses to eat what Anupama has prepared.

At the same time, Prem (Shivam Khajuria)k speaks up for Raahi (Adrija Roy), making Vasundhara understand that Raahi earned without taking much from the Kothari family, while Prem’s restaurant took so much money. Prem values Raahi’s work, and Prerna appreciates her as well. Amidst the happiness, Maahi also shares about joining the company from tomorrow. But Gautam objects, and Maahi makes it clear that she will only decide what she will do. Gautam tries to intimidate Maahi, but she stands up for herself, which everyone appreciates, while Vasundhara warns her not to make any mistakes.

Digvijay shares with his doctor friend about his son’s demand for his share of the property and that he wants him to sell the Saavi villa, but he cannot. The doctor tells Digvijay to start Saavi’s cafe, as this will help him earn money and resolve all his problems, leaving Digvijay thinking. Anupama brings food, but Digvijay refuses to eat, while the doctor friend enjoys it. Digvijay feels bad about eating outside food, and his friend forces Anupama’s food into his mouth.

Anupama’s food takes Digvijay back in time as he recalls his daughter’s memories and cooking and spice knowledge, which she learned from her online tutor. Digvijay likes Anupama’s food, but Anupama suggests he open his own restaurant. Digvijay gets angry, and Anupama faces his wrath. At the same time, Navratri and Gudi Padwa celebrations begin, where Jaspreet worries as Leela talks about Ansh’s marriage, while Digvijay faints hearing the puja song.
