Arohi informs Raja Ram that the handwriting in Kailash’s suicide note does not match his own, indicating he may have been murdered. She recalls Sarojini’s suspicious behavior, leading her to believe Sarojini is responsible.
Meanwhile, Sarojini blames Arohi in front of Anuradha, accusing her of damaging the family’s dignity and being ready to send Abhishek to jail. Sarojini announces the selection of a new head of the household and takes the keys from Anuradha. She drops them into a pot of boiling water and proclaims that whoever retrieves them will lead the house.
Devika attempts to take the keys and burns her hand but ultimately succeeds. Abhishek questions the need for a new leader, while Nikhil supports Sarojini and claims she deserves authority.
Parinitha arrives with her father, who insists her marriage with Abhishek is valid and threatens legal action through papers signed by Kailash. Sarojini emotionally manipulates Abhishek, making him worry about Anuradha’s safety.
At the ceremony the next day, Parinitha refers to Abhishek as her husband, causing tension. Arohi arrives and challenges the situation, reminding everyone that child marriage is illegal and that Abhishek cannot remarry without first divorcing her. She presents the divorce papers.
Despite emotional hesitation, Abhishek signs the documents.
