Neetu takes Dua to meet Vikrant

Mannat recalls Ronny suggesting that she accept Dhairya as Dua’s father. Deciding he will be her Baba, Mannat moves forward. Meanwhile, Dua informs Dhairya that Mannat was in the room and reveals the fight between Vikrant and Mannat. Sensing that Mannat may be hurt by Vikrant’s words, Dhairya feigns stomach pain to encourage Mannat to come out. As Mannat is about to call the doctor, Dua laughs, prompting Dhairya to end his act. Afterwards, he questions her about Vikrant’s remarks. Mannat explains that Vikrant accused her of the same things he did seven years ago. In response, Dhairya suggests tearing up Dua’s birth certificate since it bears his name as her father. Mannat confides that she had no one’s support when she needed it, refusing to care about society. Dhairya agrees, saying he also doesn’t care about society’s opinion and values their friendship above all else.

Meanwhile, Dr. Vishwas calls Vikrant and asks him to make sure Dua participates in the competition. He probes if Vikrant is married, but Vikrant responds that his wife is not like Dr. Arambhi. As Vikrant contemplates how to bring Dua back, he asks about Yashika and learns she went to make khichdi for Yuvi. Vikrant considers how no one understands his relationship with Yuvi. Shifting to Dua’s kitchen, Yashika arrives to take the khichdi for Yuvi, claiming he is unwell from the spiked gola. In the kitchen, Dua tries to get Neetu to eat. Neetu, in turn, urges Dua to join the Chef competition, but Dua refuses due to Vikrant. Neetu hopes participation might prompt Vikrant’s forgiveness and encourages Dua to chase her dreams. Dua insists she won’t go after the way Vikrant insulted her. To convince her, Neetu lies that Vikrant called to apologize and urges Dua to meet him. Dua is skeptical, but Neetu asserts it’s true.

Yashika informs Mannat that they are happy in their lives, and she has handled Vikrant with much difficulty. Mannat assures that they know each other as strangers. She talks about Shruti, who never taught her to break the home. Dua agrees to meet Vikrant and insists on informing Mannat. Neetu suggests that they should meet Vikrant first and bring him here. Dua takes her from there. Neetu plans to reveal the truth to Vikrant that Dua is his daughter, and then he will accept them. Bunty sees Dua and calls her. Mannat comes out and takes Dua inside. Neetu prays to God to unite Dua with her father.

Yashika brings Khichdi for Yuvi, which she brought from Dua’s kitchen, and pretends to have made it. Vikrant tastes it and thinks it has the same taste and aroma. He recalls Mannat making the same khichdi. He doubts whether Yashika made it. Yashika asks him to ask the hotel staff. Vikrant doesn’t believe that. Dua informs Mannat that she will play outside. She takes Neetu from there. Neetu sees Vikrant and is about to fall, when someone holds her.
