Today’s episode begins with the hotel manager asking Anupama (Rupali Ganguly) how she managed to do all the work so well, even though she did not study hotel management. Anupama points out that all the housewives know these things well, and the manager tells her that if she continues to perform well, her position will be secured. However, Rossi doesn’t like it. Anupama becomes super happy and thinks she can now manage to raise Jaya.
At the same time, Vasundhara blames Maahi for Gautam going outside and having affairs. Maahi expresses her disappointment, while Vasundhara tries to manipulate her, saying she should not listen to all the housemates and highlighting that no woman in the country can get married thrice. But Maahi says that when a person is like Gautam, one shouldn’t even get married the first time.
Maahi chooses her self-respect over bowing down to Gautam. Vasundhara allows Maahi to leave the house, but Khyaati and Raahi take a stand against this and say that if Maahi leaves, they will also go with her. At the same time, Anupama does her work well, while Rossi doesn’t like it and threatens Anupama.
Prerna offers Maahi a place to stay at her house, upon which Raahi and Prem thank her. Raahi receives a notification and shares it with Prem, saying she will come for an inspection of Prem and Prerna’s restaurant. Vasundhara comes in and tries to intimidate Raahi, telling her to decide in Prem’s favour. Anupama brings Jaya to the hotel, where a guest’s daughter volunteers to play with Jaya, and Anupama allows, while Rossi devises a plan against her. Later at home, Anupama is shocked to see Digvijay painting a pot for Jaya, and she says that one’s real personality always comes out. Raahi extends her support to Maahi and asks her to talk to Anupama, while they also threaten Gautam to clear his game.
