Anupama requests that the Shahs hear Anuj's opinion as well because she is certain that he must have had a lot of thought before speaking. Anuj claims he didn't intend to replace Vanraj as Pakhi's boss and act as a father figure for her; he simply said what he believed to be right. Because he is not the father of Pakhi or Adhik, Vanraj says it makes no difference. Anuj, according to Anupama, is merely expressing his opinion.
While cautioning him not to bring up Adhik in his home at all, Vanraj asserts that he is unable to make decisions for them. Vanraj is reminded by Bapuji that everyone is involved in this matter in some way. Anuj claims that even though he is aware that Vanraj is Pakhi's father, he himself fell in love when he was about Adhik's age, so he is familiar with the emotions involved. Nevertheless, Anuj expresses concern that Pakhi and Adhik might retaliate and take action that would be detrimental to everyone.
For Pakhi and Adhik to get married when it is appropriate, he claims that they are committed to their relationship and want to do so. He is not pressuring anything to happen currently. The same is true for Kavya and Bapuji. Vanraj asserts that even though he feels Anuj is correct, he is also correct, and as a result, he is completely at a loss for words. When they ask for some time to calmly consider their options, Anupama assures them that they will inform Pakhi of their request. In the car as they are driving away, Anuj tells Anupama that Pakhi and she are the targets of a plot being carried out by Barkha, Ankush, and Adhik. Astonished, Anupama. Pakhi's room is entered by Vanraj, who tells her what he and Anupama decided and asks her not to meet Adhik until they have met his parents. She accepts, but she also admits that she loves him. They decided to sit down and talk later, which Anuj informs Adhik of. Barkha makes the decision to prevent the union from happening. Anupama begins the Diwali preparations the following day.
