Raghav apologizes to his family, explaining that he received an important phone call and needs to leave. Kalpana stops him and asks what he wanted to share with them. Raghav says that Vaani wants to hear the truth. Parvathi gets nervous, fearing that Raghav might reveal his marriage to Mishri. Just as Raghav is about to speak, Mala enters
and greets him. She introduces herself, reminding him that they studied together. She jokes that he wasn’t always as innocent as he appears now. Mala asks if he’s married, and Raghav responds that he is already in love with someone. Mala insists on taking a selfie with him.
Vaani, annoyed, interrupts Mala and tells her she’s being disruptive. She introduces herself as Raghav’s soon-to-be wife. Mala advises Raghav not to marry Vaani, which makes Vaani furious, leading to an argument. Sulekha tries to explain that Mala is just a friend, but Mala dismissively calls Vaani “mental.” This enrages Vaani, who angrily breaks some plates, accidentally injuring Mishri. Raghav scolds Vaani and rushes to take care of Mishri. Sulekha then reprimands Vaani for her behavior.
Vaani argues that if she were talking to another man, the family would react the same way. To prove her point, she starts flirting with a waiter, which further annoys Sulekha. Meanwhile, Raghav confides in Mishri, regretting that he listened to her advice. He blames Vaani for overreacting to a simple interaction with his friend, believing she’s trying to create problems between them. Mishri tries to explain that she had no bad intentions and reminds him that hiding the truth will only cause more pain.
Sulekha, frustrated with Vaani’s behavior, brings up the past, mentioning Meenu’s death and implying that Vaani is unstable. Vaani, feeling cornered, admits that she is “mental” and begins to act out. She throws bottles in anger and, in a moment of desperation, grabs a broken bottle, threatening to harm herself. Mishri, horrified, pleads with Vaani to stop, reminding her that she once considered her a younger sister. Eventually, Mishri calms Vaani down and carefully leads her away from the situation, urging her never to act like that again.
Despite Mishri’s efforts, Raghav feels heartbroken and asks Mishri to stop interfering in his relationship with Vaani. Raghav then turns to Vaani and, in front of the whole family, swears that he truly wants to marry her and that she is the only woman in his life. Vaani, however, demands that Raghav promise he won’t think of any other woman but her. Raghav hesitates and glances at Mishri, causing Chithra to grow suspicious. Vaani presses Raghav to answer, while Kalpana questions if he would abandon his daughter if he found someone better. Raghav denies it and counters that Vaani should also promise not to talk to any other men. He acknowledges that his thoughts might seem old-fashioned, but he stands by them. If she can’t make that promise, he asks, how can he do the same?
Vaani, feeling overwhelmed, suggests they take a break from each other and meet again when their love has grown stronger. Chithra tells Sulekha that Vaani wants to distance herself from Raghav for a while. Raghav, frustrated, blames Mishri for everything and warns her to stay away from him.
