The silence of the theatre shattered when Vikrant suddenly clutched his head, flashes of his buried past flooding back like a storm. Mannat ran toward him, fear written across her face. Before she could help, he pushed her away and collapsed — leaving everyone stunned. Roni rushed him to the hospital, while Dhairya’s eyes filled with suspicion, silently blaming Vishaka and Mallika.
Mannat’s patience finally broke. She stopped Vishaka from following Vikrant and confronted Mallika head-on. Her voice trembled with anger as she accused Mallika of using a staged play to reopen Vikrant’s old wounds. Mallika tried to feign innocence, but Mannat’s eyes saw through the act — she knew both mother and daughter were playing a dangerous game.
Vishaka stepped in, claiming to be Vikrant’s true mother. But Mannat’s words cut through the air like a blade — “A mother is not the one who gives birth, but the one who protects.” She defended Neetu fiercely, calling her love pure, not manipulative. Vishaka struck back with venom, accusing Neetu of drugging her own son, only for Mannat to remind her that Neetu stopped the medicine to save him, not harm him.
When Dhairya arrived, he stood torn between love and loyalty. His anger toward Mannat clashed with his confusion about his mother’s actions. Mannat, however, refused to bend — she vowed to shield Vikrant from every lie, even if it meant standing alone.
Meanwhile, Mallika raced to tell Aishwarya everything, desperate to learn if Vikrant’s memories had returned. But the web of deceit only grew darker. In another corner, Vishaka attacked Susheela, showing just how far she was willing to go. And at the hospital, Vikrant’s eyelids fluttered open — the moment everyone feared had finally come.
