Today's episode was honestly such a stressful watch, but in a way that keeps you glued to the screen. Actually, it starts off right in the middle of a high-pressure exam hall. Look, poor Jhanak is struggling against a clock that just won't stop ticking.
Actually, the professor is being really rigid, telling her she only has 15 minutes to coating, which is basically impossible. We felt so much anxiety for her in that moment. At the end of the day: it wasn't surprising at all when she actually swoon from the stress and dizziness. Interestingly, the professor looked shocked-as he should be!
Truth is, -and the unit situation reached the education minister. Luckily, Vasundhara and the parson stepped in, realizing how unfair it was. Truth is, they even had to deal with some shady emails being sent around to sabotage her. Notably, when Jhanak finally woke up, she was completely panicked, thinking she was going to fail.
But Rishi was right there by her side, being the absolute rock she needed. He managed to calm her down so she could finish her paper with the extra time she deserved. We've noticed that Rishi's protective side is becoming more obvious, pretty much, every day, fundamentally, especially as he sat there watching over her.
You can tell he's carrying a lot of memories about their past marriage, and it's clearly driving him to take care of her now. Back at home, though, thing were far from peaceful. Mishti was busy spreading toxic gossip, claiming Jhanak was caught cheating and only fainted to manipulate everyone. It was aboveboard hard to listen to.
Aditi arrived, looking totally frustrated, and the whole family got into a monolithic debate. We believe it's truly sad how Mishti is trying to turn everyone against Rishi just because he's supporting Jhanak. The reality is: usually, sanjhbati and Dritimaan tried to be the voices of reason, actually,, defending Jhanak's talent, but Aditi is at a breaking point.
She's so convinced that Aniruddh is innocent and that Jhanak is the one causing all the trouble. On top of that, she even threatened to end her relationship with Rishi because she feels he's choosing Jhanak over her. The climax of the episode happened when Rishi finally brought Jhanak home. Instead of a warm welcome, they were met with a barrage of questions and insults.
So, what does this mean? Honestly, tanushri and Neelu were so harsh,, sort of, calling Jhanak manipulative and scolding Rishi for being her "personal guard." On top of that, it was a truly heavy scene. Here's the deal, dritimaan tried to give some tough love, telling Jhanak she needs to fight her own battles without leaning on Rishi so much, so she doesn't get "habituated" to his help.
Obviously, but Rishi wasn't having it; he made it clear he'll always be there for her. The episode ends with everyone's emotions at an all-time high, essentially, setting the stage for a massive confession tomorrow. We're pretty sure things are about to get even more complicated!
