A friend calls Savita and asks her if the rumours about Mandira and Mihir are true. Hemant tells Mihir that he saw him sleeping on the sofa at night. He tells Mihir he is worried about him and Tulsi. Mihir comes to know that Hemant got to know about Mandira's pregnancy via Payal. Mihir wonders how to tell Hemant about Payal.

Payal goes to meet Savita. They discuss Mihir's problem, Tulsi and Mandira.

Payal, who had spoken ill of Mandira to Hemant, decides to favour her in her conversation with Savita. JD and Mihir decide that it's high time Payal was stopped.

Hemant goes to Pooja's house to help her sort out Rajeev's financial and legal matters. Payal accompanies him. There, she overhears Hemant asking Pooja to call him whenever she needs help. She isn't pleased.

While Anupam and Mihir are at a restaurant finalising a business deal, a nosy friend of the Viranis comes over and asks Mihir if the rumours being circulated about him are true. Mihir is embarrassed, but Anupam shouts at the lady and walks off.

Pooja comes to Hemant's office to ask him for help with Rajeev's papers. Chirag comes to know that his aunt, Raksha, is coming over with her kids.

The entire Virani household wonders what chaos Raksha will create when she turns up, because she is famous for turning the house upside down. Raksha lands up at the airport and starts her antics.

Pooja joins Hemant's office. Payal sees her there and is not pleased. She invites Pooja to go shopping with her the next day. She then tells her mom that she has a plan up her sleeve.

Raksha tells Chirag that she knows all about his marriage to Prajakta, and that she will not let the woman who shattered her sister's dreams, live in peace.

Payal buys a colourful saree for Pooja and suggests to her that she should get remarried. She even shows her photographs of prospective grooms. Pooja realises what Payal is trying to tell her and leaves.

Mihir offers to help Tulsi shop for clothes for Gautam, but she snubs him. He follows her into the shop. Tulsi and Mihir then bump into Mandira, who is also shopping for baby clothes.

Mandira meets Savita on her way home and tells her not to blame Mihir for what has happened. Savita tells her that she understands her situation. Mandira then gives Savita a T-shirt for Gautam.

Tulsi sees Gautam in the T-shirt and is stunned - because she knows that Mandira had bought it. Savita saves the situation by telling her that she bought the T-shirt. But later, Savita tells her the truth.

Raksha and her kids drive Himmat out of his room and force him to sleep on the couch at night.

Payal gets Tulsi a gift. She then tells Tulsi that the T-shirt Gautam has been given has actually been bought by Mandira. She advises Tulsi to join hands with her, if she wants to get the better of her mother-in-law.

Tulsi then tells Savita that the T-shirt she bought has torn. She asks Savita to buy Gautam another one, instead of passing on a gift from someone else.

Ba tells Tulsi that her birthday is coming up, and she should perform a pooja along with Mihir. Tulsi is reluctant, but Ba persuades her to agree. Hemant, Chirag and the rest plan a party to celebrate Tulsi's birthday, which is also coming up soon.

Mihir leaves a card and flowers next to Tulsi's bed. She wakes up, discovers them, and tells him that the gift he has bought for her pales in comparision to the one he has given her before her birthday.

After the pooja is performed, Mihir leaves in a hurry. Tulsi wonders where he can be going. Ba then tells Tulsi that she wants her to accompany her to an exhibition set up by her fashion designing class. She then takes Tulsi to the venue of the birthday party.

Tulsi then cuts her birthday cake and gives the first piece to Mihir. Pooja comes to the party and leaves immediately. Mandira sends Tulsi a bouquet. Tulsi is furious. She tells Mihir that Mandira must have done this to spoil their happy moment. She flings the bouquet to the ground and leaves.

Mihir stops Tulsi and asks her why she is victimising him. Tulsi tells him she can tolerate anything, but not the fact that someone is trying to steal her husband from her.

Mandira calls Mihir and tells him she wants to meet him. He refuses. She then tells herself that she will win the battle to gain his love.

Payal tells Hemant that she did not like Pooja's presence at Tulsi's birthday party. Hemant is furious.

Mihir tells Savita that he is tired of facing daily battles. Savita tells him that he should not run away from Mandira, and that she needs his support at this stage.

Payal sees Pooja coming into her office and she lies to her that JD and Hemant are not in office. JD sees Pooja walking away. Mihir tells him that Payal has again leaked some secrets about a contract. JD tells him that he will throw Payal out of the office and Hemant's life soon.

Kesar meets Anupam and asks him why Mandira sent the bouquet on Tulsi's birthday. She asks him why he doesn't stop her from meeting Mihir. Anupam tells her Mandira does not listen to him. He tells her he has left everything to fate.

JD sees Raksha and her kids and hits upon a plan to deal with Payal.

Tulsi opens Savita's cupboard to take some silver vessels out. She sees the necklace that Savita and Gayatri had used to implicate her and it reminds her of her old rivalry with Savita. Tulsi then tells Savita that she will try to remain practical all her life and will let Gautam make his own decisions when he grows up.

Savita tells Gayatri and Payal that Mandira oftens calls Mihir, asking him to meet her. She says she is worried about how Tulsi will react. Payal tells her that since Mihir is the father of Mandira's child, he should support her.

Payal then tells Tulsi that Mandira calls Mihir up often and talks to him. She tells Tulsi that if the Viranis start feeling sorry for Mandira, they might even accept her presence in Mihir's life.

Tulsi gets a Caller ID system installed on the phone in her room. Mihir tells Savita this and she sympathises with him.
