Ankush asks Rishi whether the latter can stay with Jhanak in this room. He says Rishi is married and did not get divorced, so he is just wondering. Rishi glares at Ankush. Jhanak tells Ankush that she never thought he would be like this. Ankush thinks he was not like this, but his parents got killed without doing anything wrong. And he doesn’t have family because of Indranath, and Indranath never loved him but used him.
Rishi says Jhanak can’t do Ankush’s work. Ankush says Jhanak should do that. And he is ready to give money to Jhanak. Jhanak tells him that she is not greedy and she doesn’t want money.

Jhanak screams, and then she realizes that there is no bullet in the gun. She requests that Ankush not do this. Ankush asks her whether she can tolerate Rishi’s death. He says Jhanak should do his work if she wants Rishi alive then. And Jhanak doesn’t have any other choice than doing this. He reveals it was his plan to bring Jhanak there. Rishi tells Ankush that Jhanak won’t do this. Ankush asks why Rishi is getting angry. He tells Jhanak that nothing would have happened to Rishi if she had listened to him then.
On the other side, Putul tells Dadabhai that Jhanak and Rishi’s phone is not reachable still. Neelu asks them not to panic because Jhanak is not a kid. Dritimaan says Ankush was looking suspicious. Payal says maybe Aditi knows anything. Tanushri calls Aditi and asks how the latter is doing. Aditi replies she is fine. Tanushri asks whether Rishi is with Aditi.

Tanushri tells everything to her family. Putul asks what if Ankush is behind this. Neelu says Rishi is with Jhanak, so he won’t let anything happen to her. And she thinks Rishi took Jhanak for dinner.
Meanwhile, Arshi asks Aniruddh whether Jhanak contacted him. Aniruddh says Jhanak won’t accept him. And Jhanak could have demanded many things from him, but she did not do that. He asks her not to be insecure. Arshi tells him that he hid the truth from her and Aditi. But now blaming her. Aditi says she feels Aniruddh already knew Jhanak is his daughter. Aniruddh tells her that he would not have tried to kill Jhanak if he knew the truth then. Anjana tells Aniruddh that Jhanak and Rishi have not returned home yet. Arshi says Rishi and Jhanak must be spending time together. Aditi gets hurt hearing this. Aniruddh defends Rishi and Jhanak. Arshi tells him that he did wrong with her. And now doing wrong with Aditi. She asks him why he worries about them. Aniruddh says Jhanak is his daughter and Rishi is his son-in-law; that’s why. Aditi asks them to stop it. She says no one cares what she is going through now. Arshi asks Aniruddh to decide for whom he will fight. She goes inside angrily.
The episode ends.
Precap: Ankush tells Jhanak that Indranath should die. He warns her to not try to be oversmart. He says even Parashar is in his target. Jhanak gets shocked hearing this.
Our Take: Ankush kidnaps Jhanak and Rishi. And it happened due to the foolishness of Rishi. Because he was a police officer, he entered the minister’s house without writing his and Jhanak’s names on the register. Ankush blackmails Jhanak to kill Indranath to save Rishi. Jhanak will agree definitely, and she may try to be oversmart.
Will Ankush kidnap Parashar too? Will Jhanak really kill Indranath?
