This week, Neha and Rano figure out that Lakshmi is not at home and something huge has happened. Rano says she will take advantage of this situation. Ayush and Virendra look for Lakshmi on roads. Rishi asks the priest if he has seen Lakshmi. They all reach a cliff. Ayush points to a piece of cloth hanging from the tree. Rishi remembers it is from Lakshmi’s saree. Police comes and they go down to look for Lakshmi. Police staff says they have searched everywhere and they did not find any body. Karishma and Rano go to look for Lakshmi in Rano’s house but do not find her there. Virendra tells Malishka that he will not leave her and Rishi if something happened to Lakshmi.
Rishi tells Neelam and Karishma to go home and runs on road alone. He dreams that Lakshmi is putting salve one his injuries and he admits that he has started feeling for her and Lakshmi forgives him. Neelam wakes him up. She tells him that he had a small accident on road and Malishka dropped him home. She wakes up in a shed. She gets out to see a temple in front of her. She starts following the devotees and goes inside. Priest asks her to come forward to do AARTI. Priest calls Rishi to tell her that the same girl who came during his wedding is there in the temple. Rishi rushes to find her.
Malishka calls Rishi as he is driving. He tells her that he is going to the temple. Malishka says she will also come. Lakshmi finishes AARTI and bends down in front of the idol. Her forehead gets covered in SINDOOR. She remembers Rishi and Malishka’s betrayal and lies. Rishi reaches the temple. He tell her to go home with him. Lakshmi says she trusted him blindly and she could not believe her Rishi could cheat on her. She chastises Rishi and Malishka for betraying her trust.
Rishi apologises to Lakshmi but Malishka says Rishi was always hers. She discloses that Rishi was in love with her even before their marriage and that the whole family knew about them. Lakshmi is shocked. Neelam arranges puja for Lakshmi’s safety at home. Lakshmi puts her hand on her MANGALSUTRA to break it but stops. Malishka says she should think it is good that at least she got to know the truth. Lakshmi says she should have known this truth before they got married, so this is not good. Lakshmi says there is no pardon for their crime. Lakshmi leaves the temple. Rishi tries to follow her but she disappears. Malishka stops him and tells him to relax. Rishi asks if she saw Lakshmi’s condition and still she is saying nothing happened. Rishi says Malishka pressured him to marry her.
They look for Lakshmi. Lakshmi reaches home as puja gets over. Everyone is relieved to see Lakshmi safe. Lakshmi ignores them and goes towards her room. She comes back with her bag. Virendra says he was very worried about her and he is relieved that she is back. Lakshmi says she trusted everyone, but they all backstabbed her. Lakshmi says she has broken all her ties with Rishi in front of God, but how will she break her ties with her father and family. Lakshmi says she did not feel this much pain, when her parents died or even when she saw Rishi marrying Malishka. Neelam asks her to stay back and says they had a reason for getting her married to Rishi. Lakshmi goes towards the door.
Lakshmi leave the house. Neelam and Virendra have a huge fight about Lakshmi. Neelam blames Virendra for letting Lakshmi go as it will endanger Rishi’s life. Virendra tells Neelam that she is selfish and does not consider Lakshmi as a human being. Rishi and Malishka come. Virendra refuses to talk to Rishi. Neelam slaps Rishi and blames Malishka. Lakshmi reaches her uncle’s house. Shalu is shocked to see her in that condition. Lakshmi tells Shalu that she was right that Rishi had an affair with Malishka. Rano overhears this.
