The episode focuses on the “DNA test” conflict and the growing emotional distance between Aniruddh and Arshi as the truth about their biological daughter becomes the center of a family feud.
The DNA Test Dilemma
The episode begins with a high-tension argument in the Bose household. Aniruddh, haunted by Jhanak’s recent revelation that Moon (Aditi) is his and Arshi’s biological child, pushes for a DNA test. He asks Driti, “If someone claimed a child was yours, wouldn’t you want the truth immediately?” However, Arshi and Tanuja are vehemently against it. Arshi views the claim as another “trap” by Jhanak to ruin her marriage. The family elders, particularly Jethu, express disappointment in Aniruddh, claiming that his obsession with Jhanak has made him unrecognizable and that his pursuit of this “truth” might lead to legal trouble or jail time.
Putul’s Advice to Jhanak
In a parallel scene, Putul has a heart-to-heart conversation with Jhanak. Putul observes the deep connection between Jhanak and Rishi (who is currently married to Aditi/Moon). She urges Jhanak to accept Rishi’s love and not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Jhanak, ever the martyr, refuses. She tells Putul that Aditi is a good girl and she cannot justify breaking Aditi’s marriage just for her own happiness. However, it is revealed that Aditi herself feels no love for Rishi; she admits their marriage was built on ego rather than affection.
Aditi’s Bitterness
Aditi (Moon) confronts Jhanak and Rishi. Her bitterness is at an all-time high as she feels Jhanak has snatched everything from her—first her husband’s heart, and now her father’s (Aniruddh’s) attention. She threatens to divorce Rishi, but Jhanak pleads with her to stay, even offering to leave the house herself. Aditi remains cold, stating that she no longer trusts anyone in the family.
Aniruddh’s Emotional Breakdown
The episode ends with Aniruddh looking at old photos of Jhanak. He is torn between his duty to Arshi and his undeniable bond with Jhanak and the child he now suspects is his own. He realizes that money and power have changed the Bose family for the worse, and he begins to question if he can ever truly be happy in the life he has built with Arshi.
Major Highlights
- The Demand: Aniruddh demands a DNA test for Moon, causing a massive rift with Arshi and Tanuja.
- The Sacrifice: Jhanak refuses to be with Rishi to protect Aditi’s marriage, despite Aditi’s desire for a divorce.

Precap for Tomorrow:
The preparations for Sanjh’s wedding begin, but Aniruddh and Arshi announce they might not attend if the “Jhanak situation” isn’t resolved. Meanwhile, a mysterious fire incident is hinted at, which will force Aniruddh to make a final choice between his two worlds.
