Suman tells Rishi that Devika has ordered the same food that is on their list. She questions how the catering team can prepare enough food for 80 people in just 30 minutes, let alone deliver 56 items. Suman senses something is off and is determined to uncover the truth. Meanwhile, Devika complains to Chandrakant that Suman has ruined everything by claiming that the food is missing and suggesting someone has stolen it. She expresses concern that Suman’s actions could tarnish their family’s reputation. Teerth reflects on how he has warned Devika multiple times to stay out of his affairs, but she continues to meddle. Chandrakant asserts that Devika has saved his reputation, as Suman’s blunders were mitigated by his daughter-in-law’s intervention. He realizes that Devika is pretending to be helpful while secretly provoking him against Suman.
Devika instructs Geethanjali to smile, as she has managed the situation. She then observes Kritika getting close to Teerth and recalls the moment Teerth adorned Suman’s ring finger, with the priest noting the auspicious timing that would bind them for seven lifetimes. This leads her to believe that Kritika is destined for Teerth. Gupta notices Devika’s distress and asks what’s wrong. Devika reveals her frustrations with Suman, but Gupta advises her to ignore Suman and not waste her energy on such insignificant matters. Devika insists she must assert her dominance.
Gulshan calls Devika to inform her that he has brought the food. Suman and Rishi closely monitor his arrival. When the truck reaches their location, Suman realizes it was all a scheme to steal their food, and she suspects Devika is behind it. She questions Rishi if he labeled their name on the containers. Apologizing, he admits he forgot, but Suman reminds him that it was important to do so. She vows not to let anyone take credit for their hard work. Rishi points out that they lack proof, but Suman insists she will find a way to demonstrate the truth.
As Teerth speaks of Suman, Devika warns him not to mention her name in their home. Spotting Suman, she wonders if she had imagined it. Geethanjali advises Teerth to forget about Suman and focus on Kritika, but he inadvertently mentions Suman’s name. His mother cautions him against it.
Suman requests the priest to place a special ladoo on the plate, prepared specifically for the bride and groom. He nods in agreement. Chandrakant instructs Devika to bring the engagement ring, just as Gulshan, disguised, keeps a close eye on her. The priest then prompts Teerth and Kritika to exchange rings, but Suman intervenes, leading to Chandrakant’s complaint that Suman is jeopardizing his reputation again, which Devika had just salvaged. She calls for security to eject them, but Suman insists she only came to congratulate the couple. Teerth intervenes, telling his father not to throw them out, as they are his guests.
Chandrakant reluctantly agrees with Devika, and Suman urges everyone to eat the ladoo first, claiming it’s a new trend before engagements. She suggests that they should appreciate the catering, which Devika arranged last minute. Sensing a trap, Devika decides to prevent them from eating it. Suman emotionally encourages Kritika to eat the ladoo, claiming it will unite them for seven lifetimes. Devika opposes this, but Kritika takes a bite and discovers hidden snacks inside. She inquires about them, and Suman takes the opportunity to reveal the secret message within, which serves as proof of Devika’s catering service. Suman accuses Devika of stealing their food and passing it off as her own. Akhil and Ridhi shout at Devika in outrage.
