The episode starts with Pallavi at the Muh Dhikhayi/Introduction ceremony. There is a bit of chit-chat between Aparna and Malini. The rituals and the ceremony are going well. Pallavi’s mother, Pushpa asks about Aditya. When Aditya comes down, Aparna makes him stand next to Malini. He asks her why she is here. She tells him that Maa had asked her to come. She hopes Imlie doesn’t come here.
Aditya tells everyone that he will perform the aarti with his wife. He asks Imlie to come with him and takes her to Panditji. He tells him that Imlie is his wife and they perform the aarti. The guests talk about how a servant was the bahu. One of the guests asks Aparna if Malini and Aditya is back together and why is he saying Imlie is his wife. Aditya confirms it’s all true. Imlie is his first wife while Malini and he have separated. He didn’t want everyone to know like this but he didn’t have a choice. There is a lot of talk in the house.
Pushpa and the Tripathis quarrel. Pushpa tells the Tripathis that they betrayed her. But Radha denies even knowing about this instead she insists that Imlie is the one that betrayed them. Pallavi is quick to side with Aditya and Imlie. She says Imlie is like a sister to her. Aditya tells Aparna to accept the truth the way Malini had. But Aparna says that Imlie might be used to all the taunts but she isn’t. She wants Imlie to go away and let them live their lives in peace.
Aditya steps out of the house with Malini. They discuss how hard it’s going to be getting everyone to accept Imlie. Malini tells him that they just need some time to get over the shock. Aditya explains that he doesn’t mind if they are angry with him but he doesn’t like how they drag Imlie in this. Malini tells him she’ll visit again and she can’t deny Maa’s request. Aditya agrees, says she is always welcome. She feels bad for Imlie but Aditya tells her he knows how much Malini has done for her. He hopes that she can live happily with Kunal and he can with Imlie once the divorce is settled. Malini agrees. While heading home she reminisces about her feelings for Aditya and how close she is to shattering as the divorce date nears.
