Rakesh Threatens Parineet as Neeti Struggles With the Truth

The episode begins with Rakesh threatening Parineet. He tells her that if she refuses to marry him, he will send the entire Bajwa family to jail. He even threatens to harm her unborn baby if she refuses to stay with him.

Parineet is left speechless. She runs away in tears, completely shaken by his threats.

Gurpreet finds her and tries to comfort her. Parineet breaks down and tells her that everything is a lie. She knows the truth, but she doesn’t know how she can prove her innocence when nobody is ready to believe her.

She is especially hurt that everyone is trusting the DNA report over her words.

Just then, Neeti comes there. Parineet asks her emotionally if she also believes that she is wrong and has betrayed her.

Neeti hugs her and comforts her, but Bebe watches them closely. She fears that Neeti might finally reveal the truth to Parineet, so she quickly intervenes and stops her from saying anything.

Bebe then indirectly manipulates Neeti. She says that perhaps this is all destiny and complains that Neeti should never have hidden the truth from Parineet. She warns that if they continue keeping secrets from each other, their friendship may not survive.

Parineet begs Neeti to save her. Neeti tells her that nobody can stop what is happening now. She says Parineet made a big mistake and should have revealed the truth to everyone earlier.

Meanwhile, Rakesh once again demands that Parineet go with him. Parineet becomes emotional, but Rakesh misunderstands her feelings and thinks she is beginning to accept him.

Rajesh notices Sanju standing nearby and stops him from getting involved. Bebe comments that Gurpreet has a good son-in-law and that Parineet has won his love.

Rakesh then tells Parineet that he will bring a priest and arrange their engagement.

Parineet is devastated and breaks down in tears. Rakesh leaves, while Neeti notices Sanju staring at Parineet emotionally.

Sanju apologizes to Parineet and walks away.

Meanwhile, Alahawad asks his wife to speak with him privately. His men also advise Rakesh to talk to his parents. They are angry with him and even tease him about everything that has happened.

Gurpreet then confronts Bebe for continuously badmouthing Parineet. She tells Bebe that she was actually trying to congratulate her earlier, but Bebe misunderstood her.

Gurpreet firmly insists that Parineet is not carrying Rakesh’s baby.

Gurinder, however, points out that the DNA report is positive. Gurpreet gets angry and tells Gurinder that she will never allow Parineet to marry Rakesh.

Gurinder argues that Parineet should make her decision with a calm mind. Bebe pretends to advise Gurpreet and says that if Parineet marries Rakesh, perhaps all their problems will finally come to an end.

Meanwhile, Rakesh recalls the way Parineet looked at him and becomes furious. He tells his mother that although Parineet may care about him, her heart still belongs to Sanju.

His mother shares his grief and tries to calm him.

Sanju, meanwhile, cannot stop worrying about Parineet. He keeps remembering their moments together.

Amith notices his sadness and asks him what is bothering him. Sanju finally opens up.

Amith tells him that Parineet may have to marry Rakesh because everyone believes that she is carrying Rakesh’s child. He reminds Sanju that Parineet supposedly tried to abort the baby to hide her mistake and that Rakesh helped her.

Amith believes that the DNA results are genuine.

Sanju, however, refuses to accept it. His heart simply cannot believe that Parineet has betrayed them.

Amith then tells Sanju what he has been noticing all along — he believes Sanju has fallen in love with Parineet.

Meanwhile, Rakesh’s mother tells him that once he marries Parineet, she will take care of her because she believes Parineet is carrying his child. Rakesh secretly thinks that he will show Parineet his true colors after their marriage.

Elsewhere, Parineet and Neeti continue struggling with the situation. Neeti cannot sleep and keeps having nightmares about Rakesh mistreating Parineet.

Bebe notices that Neeti is disturbed and asks her what happened.

Neeti tells her that Rakesh is not a good person and will never change simply because he marries Parineet. She fears that he will torture her.

Bebe insists that Rakesh loves Parineet and will change after the wedding. She even points out that he is ready to accept Parineet and her child.

Neeti refuses to believe her. She knows exactly what Rakesh is capable of.

She admits that she wanted to prove Parineet wrong in front of everyone, but now she realizes how badly the situation has turned out. She feels that Parineet betrayed her, yet she also knows that she made a mistake by hiding the truth from her.

Bebe sees Neeti’s confusion as another opportunity. She suggests that instead of fighting the situation, they should use it to their advantage.

She asks Neeti to imagine what would happen if they could prove to everyone that Parineet is actually carrying Sanju’s baby.

Bebe then suggests that perhaps it is better to let Parineet marry Rakesh and leave Sanju’s life.

The episode ends with Neeti caught between her guilt, her friendship with Parineet, and the dangerous plan she has created with Bebe.
