Udne Ki Aasha Nakuul Mehta hosts the Superstar Bahu contest. The episode begins with a celebratory atmosphere as Riya cuts the ribbon to inaugurate the new flower store. Applause fills the room, and Sachin thanks Riya for her contribution. He proudly announces that Sayali is the store’s owner and asks her to take her place of honor. Sayali humbly seeks blessings from Paresh and Renu, who oblige with kind words, while Sachin presents them with flowers as a gesture of gratitude. Shubha also blesses them, and Sachin hands her a rose in appreciation.
Paresh, acting as the first customer, symbolically purchases flowers from Sayali with a ₹100 note and asks Renu to share the Gajras with her daughters-in-law. Akash and others congratulate Sayali on her achievement, and Paresh expresses pride in both Sayali and Sachin, commending their efforts. Sachin, in a playful yet respectful manner, insists on giving shagun to Riya, considering her role as a celebrity inaugurator. Though initially hesitant, Riya eventually accepts the envelope after encouragement from Akash and Sayali.
Meanwhile, Renu, on a phone call, shares her mixed feelings about the store being named after her. Although Paresh tries to lighten the mood with humor, referring to her as “Renuka Phoolwali” in jest, Renu feels embarrassed and slightly irritated. Paresh continues teasingly, highlighting the irony that she once mocked Sayali as “Phoolwali,” but now the title reflects on her.
Inside, Riya grows resentful, interpreting Sachin’s gesture of shagun as an insult. She accuses him of using the situation to assert control, despite Akash’s attempts to explain Sachin’s goodwill. Their argument is interrupted by Renu, who sides with Riya, adding her disdain for the flower store being located outside their home. She shares concerns about the family’s perceived social status, convincing Riya to let go of the issue and enjoy some coffee.
Back at home, Sachin surprises Sayali by introducing her to the *Superstar Bahu* competition, encouraging her to participate and prove her capabilities. While doing so, he overhears Renu on the phone revealing that she only submitted the names of Riya and Roshni for the competition, deliberately excluding Sayali. This fuels Sachin’s resolve to help Sayali compete and triumph. Meanwhile, Riya, emboldened by Renu’s support, confidently declares that she will win the competition. Renu cheers her on, fostering rivalry within the family by dismissing Sayali’s potential and placing her bets on Riya and Roshni.
Sachin, however, sees through Renu’s scheme to belittle Sayali and encourages his wife to rise to the challenge. Though initially doubtful of her ability to compete, Sayali decides to enter the contest, determined to prove herself and earn her place in the family. Sachin vows to stand by her, promising to help her achieve success and face the criticism head-on. Renu, on the other hand, remains dismissive of Sayali, asserting that the competition will reveal her “true place” in the household.
The episode concludes on a tense yet hopeful note, setting the stage for the competition. Nakuul Mehta, the host, welcomes the participants, while Sayali appears nervous on stage. Sachin reassures and supports her, building anticipation for the unfolding drama.
