The scene unfolds with Abhira excitedly mentioning that Holi is just around the corner and suggesting a grand celebration. However, Dadi intervenes, expressing her reluctance to partake in the festivities. Despite Manisha’s reminder of their annual vibrant celebrations, Dadi insists that not everyone is content, questioning the need for a facade of happiness.

Abhira argues that spreading joy is the essence of Holi, but Dadi remains firm in her decision not to celebrate. As Vidya prepares to serve rice, Dadi halts her, assigning Manisha and Ruhi the responsibility of her meals and medication.

Manisha hesitantly accepts the task, while Ruhi expresses doubts about their capability compared to Vidya. Dadi’s remarks sting Vidya, prompting her tears as she relinquishes the house keys, recalling Dadi’s harsh words.

Meanwhile, Sanjay prohibits any Holi celebrations, prompting Krish’s desire to attend a friend’s party. Manoj urges everyone to respect Maasa’s wishes and abstain from Holi festivities, considering the recent turmoil caused by Abhira. Kajal highlights Maasa’s sacrifices, emphasizing the need to honor her.

Charu defends Abhira’s actions, citing her past deeds, while Dev criticizes her manipulative tactics. Despite their conflicting views, the family members express their desire to celebrate Holi. Ruhi admonishes their behavior, likening it to Abhira’s, leading to a tense exchange. Abhira feels insulted and leaves, while Armaan attempts to reason with Ruhi, reminding her of Abhira’s positive traits and her aspirations to become a lawyer.

Later, Manish seeks out Abhira, sensing her despondency. He empathetically consoles her, acknowledging the complexity of her situation. Abhira laments the changes in dynamics and reminisces about simpler times.

Manish shares a heartwarming anecdote about his daughter’s aversion to Holi, offering Abhira reassurance and suggesting a celebration with the Poddars. Grateful for his support, Abhira is about to embrace him but hesitates, recalling Ruhi’s earlier remarks.

The following morning, Armaan playfully rouses Abhira from her sleep, teasing her about her dreams of Ranbir Kapoor. He then surprises her with an impromptu visit to the Holika Dahan setup outside their home. As they watch the flames, they share a quiet moment of prayer and solidarity, reaffirming their bond.
