Tonight’s episode opens with a familiar tension—Mahi anxiously waiting for Aryan’s arrival, her restlessness matched only by Moti Baa’s rising concern. While Rahi downplays the delay, suggesting that Aryan and Prem are just caught up chatting, there’s a strange undercurrent of dread in the air. Breakfast is served, but Mahi’s appetite is long gone—her eyes glued to the door that Aryan will never walk through again.
Cut to Prem’s chilling realization: Aryan has no pulse. Initially dismissed as a sick joke, the truth slowly sinks in when Parag and Anil discover Aryan unresponsive. Panic spreads like wildfire through the Kothari mansion. Meanwhile, Anupama—oblivious to the catastrophe—struggles to catch an auto, until Raghav steps in to help. The scene then cuts to the hospital, where doctors try—and fail—to save Aryan. The cause? A fatal drug overdose that led to cardiac arrest. Despite Parag’s desperate pleas, Aryan doesn’t make it. The boy is gone.
Grief Turns to Blame: Anupama in the Crosshairs
Back home, the news hits like a freight train. The Kothari family collapses under the weight of grief. Anupama arrives just in time to walk into a living nightmare. Mahi clings to hope, only to have it shattered by Rahi’s grim confirmation of Aryan’s death. The house spirals into chaos. When Prem confirms that drugs were involved, Khyati loses it. Mahi faints, and no one—not even Anupama—can reach her.
The Shah family, still prepping for a reception that will never happen, learns about Aryan’s demise too late. Meanwhile, Anupama tries to explain that Aryan was planning to confess his drug problem, revealing she had seen him with drugs earlier. But instead of finding understanding, she’s met with fury. Moti Baa, Rahi, and Prem lash out—why didn’t she say anything?
Khyati’s heartbreak turns venomous as she accuses Anupama of murder. Mahi, in a spiral of pain, holds Anupama responsible for Aryan’s death, even begging her to declare her a widow and set her ablaze—yep, things got that dark. The final blow? Rahi and Prem cut all ties, and Moti Baa throws the Shahs out, branding Anupama a harbinger of doom.
Looking Ahead: Alone, Blamed, and in Danger
Anupama is now completely abandoned by the Kotharis and even her own family. In the precap, things go from rock bottom to even worse—Anupama vanishes, wandering the streets, only to be cornered by a gang of drunk men who leer and taunt her. One even demands she dance. Yep, the nightmare isn’t over yet.
