Udne Ki Aasha Upcoming Sachin to learn Sayali’s secret. Renu notices Roshni’s tension and comments on the glow on her face, prompting Roshni to admit she feels bad because her father didn’t attend her wedding. Despite Renu suggesting that Roshni call her father, Roshni refuses, not wanting to spoil her happiness. Renu then suggests they play a ring-finding game, which Tejas also wants to play. Renu instructs Sayali to prepare the game setup. Renu offers to fulfill all of Roshni’s wishes, and as the game begins, Sachin arrives, questioning the situation and expressing skepticism about Roshni’s relationship with Tejas. Despite Sachin’s doubts, the game proceeds with Roshni subtly helping Tejas win. This act pleases Renu, who praises Roshni’s care for Tejas, while Sachin remains cynical and leaves with Sayali.
Sayali and Sachin discuss her role in the household. Sachin insists that Sayali has the right to refuse to do all the work, feeling that Renu is exploiting her and Roshni will follow suit. He urges her to fight for her respect and rights. Sayali, reflecting on Renu’s disdain for her, confides in Sachin about the class disparity and how Renu favors Roshni, a rich man’s daughter, over her. Sayali believes it’s futile to constantly fight for respect from Renu, as she has accepted the unequal treatment.
Meanwhile, Akash serves Riya a new dish called “Saathiya,” a cake representing the sweet and spicy nature of relationships. Riya enjoys the dish, which Akash plans to introduce on Valentine’s Day, promising Riya a reserved table for two, despite her not having a boyfriend yet. Riya is confident she will have a boyfriend by then, and Akash playfully agrees to be present to serve them.
Sachin predicts Sayali is hiding something interesting. After some playful guesses, Sayali reveals her first earnings from a deal with Sarvesh, which amounts to 10,000 rupees. Sachin is proud but insists she keeps the money for herself rather than contributing to his loan payments. He reassures her of his capability to handle their financial burdens alone, expressing pride in her achievement and encouraging her to continue her work.
Later, Sachin observes Renu doting on Roshni by feeding her apples, feeling disillusioned by Roshni’s perceived cleverness. Sayali tries to rush Sachin out, as her friends arrive. Sachin engages them in conversation, learning about one friend’s new job at a city hospital. Sayali’s friends commend Sachin for earning a good name in their community, highlighting that people no longer fear Sudhakar, a local figure.
Renu, however, insults Sayali and her friends, prompting Roshni to watch silently. Despite the demeaning comments, Sayali offers tea to her friends, who declined due to work commitments. Renu continues to taunt them loudly, advising Sayali to bond with Roshni. After the friends leave, Sayali retorts that true status is determined by one’s heart, not wealth, subtly criticizing Renu. Sayali reveals that she is feeling extremely joyful because her relationship with Sachin is getting better with time. However, Sachin expresses his disappointment as he discovers that Sayali kept a major secret from him – that she was aware of Sudhakar’s actions, ultimately breaking his trust.
