Neelam gives Rishi a sherwani to wear for the mehendi ceremony. She reminds him it’s his marriage with Malishka, and suggests he be happy;
although he points out it wouldn’t be the first wedding he had, Neelam maintains this one is real and brings her much joy – second only to when he was born.

Confirming that he is with her on this, she urges him to get ready. Ayush informs Virender that Mami is suspicious – prompting them both to agree they can no longer stay silent; Dadi feels it’s time to start playing their game – but Ayush isn’t sure what they should do next.
Dadi remarks that they will have to make him understand his love for Lakshmi. Ayush states that he is trying, but isn’t succeeding at understanding himself and wonders how they can get him to realise it now. Karishma comments that Neelam herself had come to a similar conclusion.
Malishka reminds them not to forget that Lakshmi is still around. Sonal nods in agreement, while Dadi adds that even though Rishi always goes against Neelam’s wishes, it is his love for Lakshmi which compels him.
In the coming episode, Rishi, Lakshmi, and the entire Oberoi family return home. Neelam decides to get Rishi married the next day after witnessing all the drama. This decision shocks Virendra, Dadi, Shalu, Aayush and Bani.
Hence, they all join hands in bringing Lakshmi and Rishi close again. Meanwhile, Neelam, Karishma, Sonia and Malishka come together to finally kick out Lakshmi from their life.
