Vidya, noticing Abhira’s distress, offers comfort. She shares her experience of coming from a wealthy family and emphasizes that Armaan values emotional bonds over material wealth. Vidya advises Abhira to focus on the emotional support they can offer each other rather than worrying about financial equality. She reassures Abhira that their relationship’s foundation is more important than material aspects.
Dadi soon enters with a significant request. She presents a mirror with the name “Pratima” and asks Abhira to change her name after marriage, symbolizing family respect and peace. Dadi’s request is filled with expectations, implying that Abhira must embody these qualities for the family’s honor. Abhira respectfully refuses, standing firm on her identity. Dadi expresses disappointment and accuses Abhira of not understanding the sacrifices required for love and family. She gives Abhira until Raksha Bandhan to reconsider, subtly hinting at the potential consequences.

Despite his efforts, Abhira remains troubled by the expectations placed on her and the financial gap between them. When Armaan casually mentions the 25-lakh price of the ring, her sense of unease deepens.
