The episode begins with Palki standing before Dada Ji, her expression filled with curiosity. “What will be my benefit in all this?” she asks softly, tilting her head.
Dada Ji smiles kindly. “Your friend will get a good husband, and my Viraj will get a good wife,” he says warmly.
Palki nods thoughtfully. “How can I help you, Dada Ji?”
He sighs. “I always thought Kriti was the best match for Viraj, which is why I announced their wedding. I just want to see Viraj married before I leave this world.”
Palki’s expression softens. “Dada Ji, I have accepted you as my own grandfather. Do you consider me your granddaughter?”
He nods, his eyes brimming with affection. “Yes, Palki, of course I do.”
“Then don’t talk about death,” Palki says firmly. “I will help you. Tell me what to do.”
Relieved, Dada Ji explains, “Viraj is hesitant. I need you to convince him to marry Kriti. I’ve given him 15 minutes to decide.”
Palki smiles reassuringly. “I’ll talk to him. Kriti is a wonderful girl, and Viraj won’t find a better match.”
Dada Ji nods and blesses her.

In another room, Shaurya confronts Kriti. “What do you want?” he asks, his voice stern.
Kriti looks at him tearfully. “I want to live my life with you. I love you.”
“But you’re marrying Viraj,” Shaurya counters.
“This feels like a sin to me, but my father made me see the truth,” Kriti confesses. “He reminded me that you’re married now.”
Shaurya’s expression hardens. “You’re listening to your father? The same man who abandoned your mother?”
“My parents’ relationship is far better than what your family has,” Kriti snaps.
Shaurya shakes his head. “Kriti, everything between us is over now. I love Palki, not you. I’ve moved on.”
Kriti stares at him in disbelief.
“I only supported you because I thought you were being forced into this marriage,” Shaurya continues. “But now, I think you should move on too. Marry Viraj and leave the past behind.”

Meanwhile, Palki approaches Viraj, who looks restless. “I need to talk to you,” she says gently.
“I only have 15 minutes before I need to give Dada Ji my answer,” Viraj says impatiently.
“Why are you so hesitant?” Palki asks. “Kriti is a wonderful girl.”
“Did Dada Ji send you to convince me?” Viraj asks suspiciously.
“Dada Ji loves you and wants the best for you,” Palki replies. “He just wants to see you settled and happy.”
Viraj sighs. “Times have changed, Palki. I don’t think the way he does.”
“Where will you go after a tiring day?” Palki asks. “An empty house or a warm home with someone special?”
Viraj shrugs. “I’d probably go out and party. Who likes an empty house?”
“And after the parties, won’t you crave someone waiting for you at home?” Palki asks. “Someone who understands you?”
Viraj’s expression softens. “I never thought of it that way.”
Palki smiles. “Kriti is perfect for you. She’s kind, from a good family, and she’ll understand your values. You’ve already seen how she respects Dada Ji. Isn’t that the kind of person you want by your side?”
Viraj hesitates, then nods. “You’ve convinced me. I’ll marry Kriti.”

Elsewhere, Shaurya corners Kriti. “Please, don’t tell Palki anything about our past,” he pleads. “It will break her heart.”
Kriti looks at him silently. And replied after taking some time " you should break your marriage with palki for her well being "
“Start your life with Viraj,” Shaurya continues. “Let Palki and me live ours in peace.”
Kriti’s eyes glisten with tears, but she nods reluctantly.
---
Back with Viraj, he smiles at Dada Ji and says, “I agree to the marriage.”
Dada Ji beams with pride. “Palki has a gift. She can convince anyone with her pure heart.”
Viraj chuckles. “She didn’t force me; she just made me see things differently. She’s truly special.”
Dada Ji nods. “Palki is like a diya—she can light up a home or burn it down, depending on the situation. She’s a blessing to those she loves and destruction for those who wrong her.”

Palki searches for Shaurya when an old lady points her toward the guest room. “He’s with Kriti,” the woman says.
Suspicious, Palki hurries there. She enters and finds Shaurya and Kriti standing close. Her eyes narrow.
“I know what’s going on here,” Palki says coldly. “I didn’t expect this from you, Shaurya. Are you trying to fool me?”
Shaurya looks at her, startled, but Kriti steps forward. “Palki, it’s not what you think.”
Palki holds up her hand. “I don’t want to hear anything. You’re both hiding something from me, and I won’t tolerate it.”
Shaurya steps toward her, but Palki turns and leaves, her heart heavy with doubt.
