Preeti is thrilled after mistakenly believing that Gaurav’s romantic confession was meant for her. At the same time, Aarav overhears Gaurav and Shanaya discussing Preeti’s relationship without knowing that Preeti is the woman Gaurav is planning to leave.
The episode ends with Preeti and Aarav heading toward a major revelation.
Preeti Supports Aarav
The episode begins with Preeti noticing that Aarav has overheard the hurtful things her mother and the other women said about him.
She immediately goes to him and asks him not to take their words to heart.
Preeti jokingly calls the women gossiping queens and tries to make Aarav feel better.
While talking to him, she notices the wallpaper on his phone. It is a picture of Aarav with his mother.
The conversation takes another turn when Anju and Manju make mocking comments about Preeti’s age.
Aarav becomes irritated by their remarks.
Preeti quickly asks him to ignore them and tells him to go and enjoy himself instead of getting involved in their comments.
She clearly does not want Aarav to be hurt any further.
Preeti Misunderstands Gaurav’s Confession
Later, Preeti notices that it is already 8 PM.
She decides to call Gaurav.
At the same time, Gaurav is speaking to Shanaya on the phone.
He asks her why she did not tell him earlier that she would not be able to meet him that day.
Gaurav tells Shanaya that he missed her and had arranged several surprises for her.
While he is talking, Preeti repeatedly calls him.
Gaurav accidentally answers her call.
Without realising that he has picked up Preeti’s call, he says, “I love you, baby. I missed you so much, and I’m incomplete without you.”
Preeti is overwhelmed.
She tells him that she knows it and says that she loves him too.
Gaurav suddenly realises that he has made a huge mistake.
The words were meant for Shanaya, but Preeti has heard them.
Preeti takes the confession as proof that Gaurav still loves her.
She tells him that she understands he does not actually want to break up with her and suggests that they should work on their relationship.
Gaurav avoids giving her a clear answer.
He says they will talk about everything tomorrow.
Preeti asks him to meet her the next day.
Gaurav says that he will tell her tomorrow and ends the call.
He then tries to contact Shanaya again, but Shanaya cuts the call.
Preeti Believes Her Relationship Is Saved
Preeti is overjoyed.
She dances happily in her room, convinced that Gaurav truly loves her and that their relationship can still be saved.
She has no idea that Gaurav’s emotional confession was actually meant for Shanaya.
For Preeti, everything suddenly looks hopeful again.
She decides that she has to share the good news with Sandy.
Preeti calls Sandy, but the number is unreachable.
She then decides to ask Aarav about Sandy.
Preeti goes to Vaibhav’s room and asks where Aarav is.
Monty jokes that Aarav may have gone to meet his ex since he has returned after such a long time.
Preeti does not get the answer she wants.
Aarav Opens Up About His Hurt
Aarav is actually on the terrace.
He continues thinking about Shanti’s hurtful comments about him and his father.
Preeti reaches the terrace and finds him there.
She tries to lift his mood.
Preeti tells him not to think about what her mother and the other gossiping women said.
Aarav admits that the comments about his father hurt him.
Preeti apologizes to him on their behalf.
Aarav tells her that it is fine.
Preeti can tell that he is still affected.
She tells him that she knows when he is lying.
Aarav then turns the conversation around.
He asks her about her own lie.
He reminds Preeti that he saw her leaving the office looking tense and then heard all the sudden wedding news.
He wants to know what is really going on.
Preeti avoids giving him the complete truth.
She simply tells him that, just as he had said, his magic has worked.
Aarav jokingly asks for his gurudakshina.
Preeti promises to bring him biryani at their office café the next day.
Aarav happily agrees.
Preeti then says that everything in her life will be fine now.
Aarav smiles.
For a moment, both of them share a genuinely warm connection.
Preeti Prepares Biryani for Aarav
The next day, Preeti happily prepares biryani.
She is clearly excited about the day and the possibility that her relationship with Gaurav is finally getting back on track.
At home, Aarav also gets ready for work.
Monty calls him, and Aarav says that he is on his way.
Preeti dresses up for the office in a completely new style.
Shanti notices her look and jokes that she looks like a Gen Z girl.
Preeti also puts a pair of high heels in her bag.
Shanti asks why she is carrying them instead of wearing them.
Preeti explains that she cannot walk around in high heels all the time and reveals that she has brought them for Gaurav.
Shanti immediately starts teasing her.
Preeti is clearly in a romantic mood.
Aarav’s Office Plans Change
Monty tells Aarav that they have to leave for a meeting at another location.
Aarav is disappointed.
He had been looking forward to seeing Preeti at their office café, but now he will not be there when she expects him.
At the office, Rajat takes his frustration out on Kaira because of Himanshu’s mistakes.
Preeti steps in and saves Kaira from Rajat’s anger.
She takes Kaira to the café and calms her down.
Preeti has no idea that a much bigger revelation is taking place elsewhere.
Shanaya Demands That Gaurav Leave Preeti
Shanaya meets Gaurav at a restaurant.
She tells him that he should break up with Preeti that very day.
Gaurav agrees.
Unfortunately for him, Aarav is at the same restaurant for his meeting.
He overhears their conversation.
Aarav sees Gaurav and Shanaya together and becomes suspicious.
From what he hears and sees, Aarav assumes that Gaurav is involved with Shanaya while already being in a relationship with someone else.
What he does not know is the crucial detail.
The woman Gaurav is supposed to break up with is actually Preeti.
Aarav therefore has only half the truth.
Preeti Waits for Aarav
Back at the office café, Preeti tells Kaira that they should wait before eating lunch.
She wants Aarav to arrive first because she has prepared the biryani especially for him.
Preeti asks Kaira to get Aarav’s number from Monty and call him.
She wants to know when he is coming.
Her excitement makes it obvious that she genuinely wants to share the meal with Aarav.
At the same time, Shanaya continues pressuring Gaurav to end things with Preeti immediately.
Aarav watches Gaurav and Shanaya together, becoming increasingly convinced that something is wrong.
Gaurav Calls Preeti
Gaurav eventually calls Preeti.
He asks her to meet him immediately and tells her that he misses her.
Preeti is delighted.
She agrees to meet him.
She tells Kaira that she is leaving and asks her to give the biryani to Aarav if he arrives.
Preeti is slightly annoyed that Aarav did not inform her that he would not be coming.
She leaves to meet Gaurav.
Soon after, Aarav and Gaurav cross paths.
The two exchange a few teasing remarks.
Aarav’s meeting is eventually postponed.
He becomes happy because this means he can return to the office.
He leaves, unaware that Preeti has already left to meet Gaurav.
Their paths are moving toward a collision, but neither knows the full truth yet.
The episode ends on this tense note.
Shayad Yahi Hai Pyaar 1st October 2026 Review
This episode is built almost entirely around one delicious misunderstanding.
Preeti is celebrating because she thinks Gaurav’s “I love you” confession proves that he wants to save their relationship. The audience knows better — Gaurav was actually talking to Shanaya. That makes Preeti’s happiness especially bittersweet because she is building hope on words that were never meant for her.
Aarav’s track is equally interesting.
He finally sees Gaurav and Shanaya together and hears them discussing a breakup. Naturally, he assumes Gaurav is cheating on someone. The funny part is that Aarav is technically standing right next to the truth without knowing that Preeti is the woman at the centre of the conversation.
Preeti and Aarav’s terrace scene also adds some warmth. Their teasing, the biryani promise and Aarav’s gurudakshina give their relationship a comfortable chemistry that stands in sharp contrast to Preeti’s increasingly complicated relationship with Gaurav.
And now the story is ready for the big reveal.
The precap has Aarav finally learning that Gaurav is Preeti’s love interest. Considering everything he has already witnessed, his reaction should be explosive.
