The episode starts with Prachi-Shahana looking out for the ring everywhere. Prachi tells Shahana, “Just now I promised Sarita Auntie, that no other problem will arise in the marriage and here you have already LOST YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING! In which world are you lost Shahana?” Shahana replies in a dejected tone, “I’m sorry Prachi, I felt the ring in the finger all throughout the Sangeet Ceremony and then……” something clicks in Shahana’s head and she says, “Prachi I think when Mishti held my hand tightly on stage, my ring got loosened and slipped off from my finger!” Prachi’s eyes grow big out of fear and she asks, “So does that mean that your ring is in Kohli house?” Shahana disappointedly replies, “I guess so!” Prachi in an irritated manner pronounces with a raised voice, “Shahana!” The latter looks on. On hearing Prachi’s voice, Pragya comes to their room and asks them what is the matter. Prachi and Shahana share looks at each other and confess the matter to Pragya. Pragya is thunderstruck. Pragya scolds Shahana, “Already the wrong name on your Mehendi had created so much problem, now how to handle this new trouble?” Just then Prachi phone rings, she picks up the call, when Aryan on the other side says, “Hello Prachi! I think Shahana missed her ring on stage during the Sangeet ceremony because when I last went there to check up with the pack up, I found it!” Prachi feels relieved and says, “Oh thank god Aryan, you found it!” Aryan says, “It’s alright Prachi! But how will I give it to you?” Prachi looks at Pragya and demands her what to tell Aryan to get back the ring. Pragya takes the phone and tells Aryan, “Aryan, you keep the ring with you and please don’t let anyone know about it because already Sarita ji is dismayed due to wrong name on the Mehendi! Let’s do one thing, on the morning of the haldi ceremony, I will send Prachi and Shahana there on pretext of shopping and at that moment, you give back the ring to Shahana!” Aryan agrees. Pragya thanks him and hangs up the phone. Then she turns towards Shahana and tells her sternly, “Like I have said, you and Prachi will go out on the day of haldi, in pretext of Shopping, proceed to the Kohli House, get your ring and come back quickly because even your haldi and wedding is happening on the same day!” Shahana nods. Pragya continues, “Now take rest as tomorrow early morning you have to get up and get dressed for the Kangna Bandhana ceremony. Prachi says, “And now you too take rest Ma!” Pragya wishes them good night and leaves. After Pragya leaves, Shahana gets thinking, “I thought today was our last meeting before marriage Aryan, but maybe God had other plans that he is making us meet once more.”
Next morning, Kangana Bandhana Ceremony
Sarita ji’s house, The Pandit ji comes and ties the sacred thread around both Shahana and Rishi’s wrists and says, “This is a sacred thread and considered a good luck charm for the wedding, do not remove it because you have to wait until it falls off itself!” Rishi and Shahana nod. The same is done with Aryan-Mishti in Kohli house, but when Aryan gets up, he strikes against something and his thread falls down. He leaves from the place without realising that absence of his thread around his wrist. In Sarita ji’s house, soon after the Kangana Bandhana Ceremony, Shahana’s mama asks, “Bhai, shall we start the chooda chadhana ceremony. I’m waiting to wear the Chooda onto my niece’s hands. Everyone agrees cheerfully.
Chooda Chadhana Ceremony
A havan is lit and all the elderly male members from Shahana’s side sit around the fire. Shortly, Shahana’s mama brings a thali of a set of 21 bright red chooda bangles. Then, he lifts Shahana’s hands and slowly starts filling them with the red bangles. However, while doing that, the sacred thread tied around her wrists breaks off and falls into the haven fire, thereby exhuming it to ashes. None other than Pragya notices it and a chill runs down her spine as she gets thinking, “Oh god what kind of bad omen was that?” In Kohli house, Vikram tells Abhi, “Arrey ho, Abhi! Since Pallo doesn’t have any brothers, you perform this ceremony as you are officially becoming Mishti’s Mama Sasur from now on!” Abhi looks towards Purab, who signs him to go forward. Thus, Abhi makes Mishti wear the Chooda bangles.
Kalide Ceremony
Prachi ties umbrella shaped figures called kalide to Shahana’s chooda. At the same moment, Rhea ties the Kalide onto Mishti’s chooda in Kohli house. Once the Kalides are tied to the choodas of both the brides, they start shaking it onto the heads of the unmarried girls of their respective families. Soon, the kalide from Shahana’s arms falls onto Prachi, while the one on Mishti’s arms onto Rhea. The family members remark, “The meaning of the Kalide falling onto you is that YOU WOULD BE THE NEXT ONE TO GET MARRIED!” Both Prachi and Rhea get staring on to the Kalide in thoughts of Ranbir.
Next morning, Haldi Ceremony
Pragya sends Shahana and Prachi informing them, “Be very careful and don’t let anyone know that you are there for the ring alright!” Prachi and Shahana nod and set off to the Kohli house where Mishti-Aryan’s haldi ceremony is happening. As they reach there, the haldi ceremony had already begun. Aryan looks towards Shahana with sorrowful eyes, while she too feels sad and distressed seeing him. Soon their eyes fill up. (Jo dhariya jeeni re jeeni plays) Shahana unconsciously gets moving forward and bumps against Priyanka. She apologises, however Priyanka gets mad on seeing her, while reminiscing of how she had seen her together with Rishi and how they danced together during the Sangeet Ceremony. She gets filled with rage and in those thoughts, she pushes a pillar like structure onto Shahana. Nobody notices it as everyone’s attention is towards the bride and groom. However, Aryan who had been watching Shahana till then, sees it and rushes to save her. He falls onto her and the pillar onto his back. WHEN ARYAN FELL ONTO SHAHANA, HIS FACE COMES IN CONTACT WITH HERS AND THE HALDI ON HIS CHEEK GETS SMEARED TO HERS.
