Rishi saw Laxmi upset and asked her if everything was okay. Laxmi smiled and said she was fine, but Rishi read the pain hidden in her eyes. He clearly said don’t lie. Laxmi admitted that she is not lying, she is just hiding some things- for someone’s good. Rishi got emotional and asked why she always forgets herself for others. She said that no matter what the situation is, their paths reach each other again and again. Laxmi remembered the promise she made to Neelam, in which she said that she will stay away from Rishi and quietly left from there.
On the other hand, Shanaya teased Malishka and asked if she is really going to marry that joker Balvinder. Balvinder felt bad about this and he turned around and called Shanaya a joker. Kiran tried to handle the situation and reminded Balvinder of his limits, but Balvinder kept arguing. Kiran was afraid that Balwinder might say something that will embarrass her in front of Shanaya.
After a while, Laxmi and Rishi bump into each other and she is about to fall when Rishi catches her. He is about to say something when suddenly he starts coughing. Just then, Ayush comes there and gives Rishi a glass of alcohol which Rishi drinks. Ayush then asks Laxmi to come with him but she refuses and leaves. Shalu says that their plan was half successful as Laxmi did not drink alcohol. Now what will be the next step?
Rishi goes after Laxmi. Laxmi asks him why he is following her, to which Rishi again questions- why do we always reach the same place? He says that it is fate that brings them together again and again and asks her to leave him. Laxmi says that she also never wants to leave him. Shalu and Ayush, standing nearby, watch this heartwarming scene. Rishi, who is a little drunk, says that he liked everything she said today and wants them to stay together like this forever. Lakshmi suspects that she is drunk. Shalu quickly hides the glass. Rishi then asks her to dance, but Lakshmi refuses.
Ayush and Shalu start dancing to the song ‘Aankhon Mein Teri’ and bring Rishi and Lakshmi to the dance floor. The four dance together, living happy moments. Karishma watches all this from a distance and tells Neelam that Lakshmi is crossing the limits now. Neelam says in a calm tone that she will deal with her herself after the party. During the dance, Rishi comes very close to Lakshmi but then faints and Lakshmi supports him.
On the other hand, Shanaya threatens Balwinder that if he doesn’t leave then she will call Rishi. Balwinder provokes her but Kiran immediately takes him away from there so that the matter doesn’t get worse. Here in Rishi’s room, Lakshmi takes care of him. When she is about to leave, Rishi holds her hand and makes her sit beside him. Lakshmi scolds him that she knows he doesn’t like alcohol, still he drank. Rishi says that he didn’t drink anything and if you don’t believe him then smell his breath. Lakshmi understands his lie and starts making him angry.
Rishi stops her, says he is absolutely fine. Lakshmi scolds him again, so Rishi holds his ears and apologizes and says that he won’t do anything in the future that will hurt her. Lakshmi smiles and says, “You are lovely,” to which Rishi replies, “You are twice as lovely.” He stops her by holding her dupatta and says that he cannot live without her. He then gets tired and falls asleep in her lap. Lakshmi sits quietly, thinking about the promise she made to Neelam – she has to go away from Rishi’s life after Shalu and Ayush get married.
The episode ends here.
