Daksha tells Savita that they should both ensure that their daughters-in-law don't get out of hand. Payal comes to meet JD and wish him a speedy recovery.

Mandira calls up Mihir and tells him that her mother knows about her pregnancy. He also advises her to have the child aborted, but she refuses to listen to him. Mihir wonders why he still can't remember any details of the night he spent with Mandira.

Payal convinces Aarti to go along with her to a doctor. In the meantime, Chirag and Kiran rifle through Payal's cabin for some papers.

Savita shouts and Tulsi and asks her not to suspect Mihir of having an affair with Mandira.

Kiran and Chirag tell JD that Payal has only 10 per cent of her shares and that she has sold the remaining 12 per cent. JD smells a plot in this too.

Payal takes Aarti to a maternity clinic. There, she spots Mandira.

Payal asks the doctor what Mandira was doing at her clinic. The doctor tells her that two doctors don't always have to meet on business.

Payal then tells her mom that she saw Mandira at the clinic. She adds that she suspects that something's amiss.

Savita is thrilled that Payal took Aarti to a doctor. Mandira calls Mihir to tell him that she went to the doctor. He is unable to answer her call, since he is in a meeting.

After the meeting, Mihir calls her up and tells her they can meet in the evening and find a solution to their problem. Payal overhears their conversation and wonders what problem they're talking about.

JD tells Chirag and Kiran that Payal must be planning something really big. They suggest that Hemant should know the truth, but JD stops them from telling Hemant.

Tulsi hears the voicemail Mandira left for Mihir. She wonders what Mandira might have to do with a gynaecologist.

Payal follows Mihir and Mandira. She loses them somewhere in the crowd. Aarti calls her up and asks her to pick up her glasses from the doctors clinic. Payal goes to the clinic and finds Mihir and Mandira there. She discovers that Mandira is pregnant.

Pragya comes home for Rakhi. She is curt to Savita and Daksha, and tells herself that although she is well off now, she can never forget the humiliation they subjected her to.

Anupam asks Mandira to forget Mihir as a favour to him on the occasion of Rakhi. She refuses to do so. He brushes her rakhi aside, sends the plate full of sweets clattering to the ground and leaves.

Anupam goes to Mandira's room later while she is sleeping and picks up the rakhi from her table. Mandira tells her mom that Anupam has taken the rakhi, but not blessed her.

Her mom tells her that he has signed over the house to her. She says that Anupam probably suspects something about her pregnant condition, and that the house will come in handy if Mandira refuses to get the pregnancy terminated.

Anupam tells Mandira she should return to Delhi, since her practice there is flourishing. Mandira wonders how to get more time, and tells him that she is willing to marry anyone he wants her to.

Savita and Gayatri are miffed that Suhasi's godbharai is being planned, and Daksha has not told them anything about it. They then discover that the plan is Ba's, not Daksha's. The three bahus then decide that they need to safeguard their position in the house, and unite against everyone else.

Anupam tells Mihir that Mandira has agreed to get married. Mihir is surprised. Payal visits Mandira and tells her that she knows about her pregnancy. She tells Mandira that no one will come to know if the two of them don't talk about it. After she leaves, Mandira tells herself that if Payal leaks the news, it might make it easier for her to get Mihir.

Tulsi tells Mihir she wants to see a doctor. She mentions the name of the doctor Mandira went to. Mihir tries to dissuade her and Tulsi gets suspicious. Mihir has no choice but to agree.

Mandira tells Mihir that Payal knows that she is pregnant. Mihir is shocked and worried. Tulsi calls him at the office and Mihir gets sentimental.

Hemant goes to meet Pooja and she tells him that people might look upon their relationship with suspicion. Hemant tells her that he wants to show the world that their relationship is above such suspicion.

Savita asks Mihir what he is worried about. Mihir tells her he's trying to get over a part of his life. She wonders what he could be talking about.

Anupam tells Mandira that a prospective groom is coming over to meet her. She calls Mihir, who tells her to manage the situation for a day. Mandira's mom tells her to talk to Anupam about her pregnancy.

Payal realises that Hemant's feelings for Pooja are coming to the fore again. She makes up her mind that she will not let this happen.

Mandira's mom asks her to consider Anupam's feelings and to tell him the truth about herself.

Rahul, the man Anupam wants Mandira to marry, comes to meet her. Mandira starts telling him something, but Rahul tells her he knows everything about her past and does not want to know anything else.

Savita is distressed about Kesar staying for so long at the Viranis'. She makes up her mind to talk to her. Anupam tells Mandira that he will not promise Rahul anything unless she agrees to the wedding.

Mandira tells Mihir that she is willing to marry Rahul only if he will accept her with her child. Mihir tells her to abort her child.

Savita suggests to Kesar that she should return to Haridwar. Tulsi promises Kesar she will speak to Savita.

Payal tells her mother she has the Viranis under her control.

JD tells Mihir that the company has decided that he should be made MD. Mihir wants to tell him that he is worried about Mandira, but he does not say so.

Tulsi tells Savita and Gayatri that Mihir wanted Kesar to stay on and finish her studies. Savita tells Kesar that if Mihir wants her to stay on, she has no objection. But she later tells Gayatri that she doesn't like Tulsi involving Mihir in everything. Savita tells Gayatri she will make Mihir get rid of Kesar.

The man Payal calls often to check up on the status of her shareholdings, calls on her. We get to see that he is none other than Rahul, the man who is supposed to marry Mandira.

Rahul tells Payal that he is planning to get married to Mandira. Payal tells Tulsi this and the latter is overjoyed.

Anupam tells Mandira to make up her mind about the proposal soon. Rahul tells Payal that his parents have agreed to his wedding with Mandira. She tells him that he should not marry her, since she is pregnant.

Rahul calls Anupam, and tells him his parents want to talk to him. Rahul's parents tell Anupam that the wedding cannot take place, since Mandira is pregnant. Anupam is furious, and accuses them of casting aspersions on Mandira's character, but they ask him to return home and ask Mandira to tell him the truth.

Mandira calls Mihir and tells him that Anupam knows about her pregnancy. Mihir then goes into a meeting. Anupam comes to the meeting, and leaves immediately. On his way out, he tells Mihir that he wants to talk to him.

Mihir tells Anupam that he, as Mihir, is not responsible for the actions of Amar. He also says that Mandira can save the day by going in for an abortion. Anupam is furious and asks him to leave. Rahul calls Payal and tells her that his wedding has been called off. Payal is ecstatic and wonders how she can tell Tulsi about Mandira.

At Payal's birthday party, Mandira feels unwell. Payal sees her puking and tells her she will get her the tablets she needs. Payal then asks one of her guests to ask Tulsi for medicines taken during pregnancy. In trying to get the medicines to the perosn who needs them, Tulsi discovers that Mandira is pregnant.

Mihir tells Tulsi that Mandira's child is probably his. Tulsi tells Ba this and she is shocked.

Savita confronts Tulsi and asks her why she is making life tough for Mihir. Tulsi tells her to question Payal or Mandira about the reason for her unhappiness. Savita speaks to Payal and finds out that Mandira is pregnant.

Savita and Mansukh ask Mihir if what Payal has told them is true. JD and Himmat tell Mansukh that they will have to rally around to see the family through this crisis. Ba shouts at them and tells them that Mihir cannot be responsible for Mandira's pregnancy.

Mihir tells Ba that what everyone is accusing him of is true. She is shocked, but tells him that she will support him. JD tells Tulsi that Mihir needs her to understand his predicament. He tells Tulsi that Mihir is stuck in the same situation she would have been, if Mihir had returned after she had got married to Anupam.

Savita apologises to Tulsi for having shouted at her. She asks Tulsi to be patient with Mihir, but Tulsi is curt with her.

Pooja calls Hemant and asks him for help with some papers. Hemant tells Payal that Pooja had called, and she is not pleased.

Ba and Babuji tell Mihir that they are worried about Tulsi. Mihir asks them what he should do.

Gayatri and Savita want to tell Payal's parents about Mandira's pregnancy. Payal tells them this is a matter best left within the walls of the Virani household.

Mandira agrees to an abortion. Her mother is happy, but Anupam tells her that the damage is already done.

Tulsi refuses to talk to Mihir or even stay in a room with him. Savita finds her sleeping in the hall. She goes to their room and finds that Mihir is not there either.

Anupam and his mom take Mandira to her doctor for an abortion. The doctor tells her it is too late for an abortion. Mandira tells her she is willing to undertake any risk, but Anupam stops her. On their way out of the clinic, they bump into Kiran.

Ba takes Tulsi to the temple, where the pujari tells another couple that when a man and woman get married, they agree to accept the other's bad qualities, along with the good.
