Everyone was shocked when they saw the contents of Mami's phone, which had been discovered with Anjali.

Sheetal and Aman had printed out all of Mami's text messages from over the years, as well as a draft of her confession to Manohar.

"How could you have done this to her?" Manohar inquired with tears in his eyes, while Anjali shook her head in denial. "How could you?" He yelled, causing Anjali to flinch as he took predatory steps towards her. Anjali looked around for help, but was met with disgust and hatred. "She loved you like you were her own blood......She overlooked Akash for you..... She put you first even before her marriage and assisted you in all of your atrocities, and yet you attempted to kill her."

"I didn't. " Anjali lied, and Manohar slapped her twice, knocking her to the ground.

"So why is her phone with you?" Siddharth joined as he yanked her up, while Anjali clutched her abused cheek. "I always knew you were lying about not remembering that night like me, but I let it go for Naina's sake. Now, for her sake, I will make sure you never meet her again, and you will rot in jail for the rest of my life...... This time, nothing and no one will save you because the only one who would you tried to kill. " Anjali shook her head no. "Do not you dare to deny it because I have always suspected you, photographed the scratches Mami gave you, and not even wearing long sleeves saved you....... Second, the sample underneath Mami's nails matches your DNA....... I made the doctors allow the forensic team to take samples from Mami's mails and it matched yours....... I was planning to reveal the truth today before they come here to expose you.".

Everyone was shocked hearing this and Siddharth explained how he had suspected Anjali as the culprit and even the nurse taking care of Mami was a police nurse he had used to protect Mami.

Anjali was taken aback when she learned how far Siddharth had gone for Mami because of his suspicions.

"What have we not done for you, Anjali?" Nani cried while staring at Anjali. "I held this family hostage and forced everyone to prioritize you......You had money, fame, and love, but you were never content.... I do not blame you; I blame myself for everything...... It is entirely my fault....... I disregarded your uncle's stance to raise you differently from Ratna but I didn't listen....... He warned me against pampering you but I didn't listen and subjugated the whole family to your whims causing you to become entitled,manipulative and self centered........ I failed again." Nani cried out and sat down on the couch behind her as her weak knees began to fail her.

"Naina will never recover from the stigma that will accompany her." Sheetal broke down in tears as she remembered Naina.

She looked at her brother, then approached him and took his hand.

"Bhai, I know what I am about to tell you is wrong, but it is the only way to reduce the stigma that will surround Naina and the damage that the truth of the rape will cause to your reputation........ Please withdraw the rape charges against Anjali." Sheetal begged, which shocked everyone.

"Sheetal, do you even know what you are talking about?...... You want her to get away with assaulting your brother? " Aman exclaimed in disappointment, and Arnav squeezed his shoulders as Sheetal averted her gaze from him.
