Jhanak tells Rishi that Nutan told her about this restaurant. She says Nutan would have come to this restaurant with Aniruddh. She gets emotional. Rishi asks her what she will eat. Jhanak replies she is not hungry. Rishi tells her that that’s what she always says. He orders food for them. He asks Jhanak to tell her villagers about the case. And Parashar needs to come to court. Jhanak says she did not want to go to court. And she would have forgiven Aniruddh if he had accepted his mistake then. But Aditi got stuck in all this.
Rishi says Aditi knows Aniruddh is wrong, but still she is supporting Aniruddh. And Aditi does not trust him either. He tells her that he won’t forget how Aditi insulted Jhanak outside the court. Jhanak eats avocado and says it’s tasty. Rishi tells her that he wants to roam the city with her. He says this is his wish, and he doesn’t know what Jhanak’s wish is. He asks her whether she will come to him after finishing her fight. Jhanak says she doesn’t think her fights will end in this birth. She asks him to reconcile with Aditi. Rishi says that’s not possible. And his feelings for Aditi ended when she insulted Jhanak. Jhanak asks him not to say it like that. Rishi holds her hand. Aditi and her friends see Jhanak and Rishi.
Rishi asks Jhanak whether she can’t handle him. Aditi clicks their photo. She goes to them and taunts Rishi. Jhanak gets shocked seeing Aditi there. Aditi asks whether Rishi was proposing to Jhanak. Jhanak shook her head. Ankita asks how Rishi can do this when his wife is mentally disturbed. Rishi asks what wrong he did. Jhanak asks Rishi to stop it. She says this is why she did not want to come there. Aditi tauntingly says she likes Rishi’s confidence. Jhanak tells Aditi that they were just eating. Aditi warns Jhanak to not speak. Ankita asks whether Jhanak is not ashamed to come in between husband and wife.
The manager comes there and asks what’s happening. Aditi asks him whether immoral things are allowed in this restaurant. She says her husband is having an extramarital affair with the maid. Rishi tells her that he has a special relationship with Jhanak. Aditi asks him whether he is in his senses. Jhanak asks Aditi not to get angry and to calm down. Aditi pushes Jhanak’s hand and warns her not to touch her. Jhanak is about to fall down, but Rishi holds her.
The manager asks them to fight outside the restaurant. Rishi says Aditi has to face the consequences of it. He tells her to move on in her life. Ankita asks whether Jhanak is human or not. Because Rishi and Aditi’s marriage is breaking due to Jhanak. Rishi says he won’t tolerate Jhanak’s insult. Jhanak tells Aditi that their father is the same. And Nutan brought up Aditi for five years. She says this truth won’t change no matter what. Aditi says Jhanak is rude and shameless. Ankita says Jhanak is like this because of her standards. Rishi tells Aditi that he doesn’t want to live with her. He takes Jhanak from there.
Later, Dritimaan and Sanjhbati go to Aditi’s house. Sanjhbati asks where Aditi is. Arshi asks what’s the use of talking to Aditi. Dritimaan says they came to invite him to his marriage. Aditi comes there. Sanjhbati says they want Aditi to attend the marriage. Aditi reveals what happened in the restaurant. Sanjhbati asks Aditi not to misunderstand. Arshi says Aditi’s level is higher than Rishi and his family. And Jhanak matches Rishi’s level, so the Chatterjee family should not bother Aditi.
Aditi says Rishi will marry Jhanak if she gives a divorce, so she won’t do that. And Rishi can continue his extramarital affair with Jhanak. She adds this is what Nutan did. Anjana tells Aditi that Nutan was not like that. Arshi taunts Anjana for supporting Nutan by staying in her house. Aditi asks them to stop talking about it. Sanjhbati says Aniruddh and Nutan are not strangers, so there is a possibility that Jhanak is right. Dritimaan asks her not to get involved in that matter. Bablu says the truth will come out one day, definitely.
The episode ends.
Precap: Jhanak apologizes to Sanjhbati’s mother. Sanjhbati’s mother says she heard from Sanjhbati why the principal threw Jhanak out of the hostel. Kaka says anyone can change after getting targeted by everyone. Jhanak gets shocked hearing this.
Our Take: Aditi witnesses Jhanak and Rishi’s romance, and she decides to not divorce Rishi, which is the wrong decision. Because shameless Rishi does not deserve Aditi. And hypocrite Jhanak put all the blame on Rishi once again, so she also doesn’t deserve Rishi.
Why did Jhanak apologize to Sanjhbati’s mother? Will Jhanak be thrown out of Sanjhbati’s house too? Where will Rishi take Jhanak this time?
