The episode commences with everyone eagerly awaiting Armaan’s arrival. Dadi expresses certainty that Armaan will meet Manav today, and just then, Armaan enters. Dadi inquires if he met Manav, to which Armaan responds affirmatively.
However, when asked if he approves of Manav for Ruhi, Armaan’s response remains ambiguous. Meanwhile, Vidya anxiously holds Manisha’s hand. Flashback sequences reveal Armaan encountering Manav, who advises him to prioritize his health over their meeting.
Despite Armaan’s assurance of being fine, Manav insists on accompanying him, emphasizing the importance of well-being. Armaan’s hesitation stems from concerns about Ruhi’s happiness, leading to his eventual rejection of Manav as a suitable match for her.
Dadi presses Armaan for a definitive answer regarding Manav’s suitability, to which he admits Manav’s good nature but asserts his unsuitability for Ruhi. Despite Madhav’s belief in Manav’s capabilities to care for Ruhi, Armaan remains steadfast in his intuition that Ruhi wouldn’t find happiness with him.
The family deliberates on the canceled alliance, prompting concerns about Ruhi’s future. Amidst the turmoil, Armaan’s decision to prioritize Ruhi’s happiness over familial expectations earns his grandmother’s approval, and responsibility for Ruhi’s well-being is entrusted to him.
Meanwhile, Suwarna concludes a phone call, dismayed by Armaan’s refusal and Manav’s wounded pride. Surekha expresses satisfaction with the outcome, having predicted Armaan’s decision.
In a private moment, Armaan reassures Ruhi of her worth, emphasizing her importance over familial expectations. His actions spark a debate within the family regarding Ruhi’s future and Armaan’s motivations. Tensions escalate between Armaan and Abhira, leading to a rift in their relationship and a decision to part ways.
