When prompted by Shanu to share her thoughts about herself and the competition, Jhanak conveys her heartfelt gratitude for the respect and recognition she received from the audience despite being an ordinary contestant.

Jhanak's speech:

Kumar Shanu continues to uplift Jhanak, urging her not to dwell on her defeat but to look optimistic ahead. Jhanak acknowledges Rudra's significant role in her journey, expressing how his unwavering faith and support helped her persevere on stage. She also exposes the malicious tactics of some competitors, revealing that they had intentionally poisoned her drink to sabotage her performance, aiming to keep her from winning and preventing the truth from coming to light. Despite the adversity, Rudra's belief in her talent kept her motivated.

Jhanak extends her best wishes to the other contestants and dedicates her loss to Aniruddha, whom she holds in high regard. Aniruddha, feeling remorseful for pushing Jhanak to lose for Arshi's benefit, is affected by her gesture. Arshi is presented with the winner's trophy, but her joy is dampened by the knowledge that she triumphed over an untrained dancer. She dismissively downplays Jhanak's skills, suggesting that Jhanak is now competent enough to compete against her.

Appu demands to see Lalan:

Appu, who is suffering from a high fever, whispers Lalan's name repeatedly. This revelation surprises her family. When Bablu offers her a glass of juice, she angrily throws it away and demands to see Lalan. Her insistence on meeting Lalan, whom she declares she will marry, embarrasses her parents.

Chhoton, tasked with calling the doctor, encounters Lalan, who is also eager to see Appu. Although Chhoton initially conceals Appu's illness, Lalan soon learns of her condition and becomes anxious to visit her. However, Chhoton prevents Lalan from entering their home, explaining that their families disapprove of their relationship.

Precap for the next episode:
