Pandya Store: Amba sees the old Dhawal reappear after years

Tonight's Pandya Store episode begins with Dhawal (Rohit Chandel) wearing a content smile as Natasha (Priyanshi Yadav) and Naveli shower him with affectionate kisses. Suddenly, Natasha interrupts the moment, craving ice cream. Naveli joins in, reminding Dhawal of his promise to treat them both. Bhavin confides in Pranali, acknowledging her acceptance of Naveli as her own, albeit with a hint of reservation regarding Bunty's role.

Amba needles Pranali, insinuating that Natasha's blood ties override her bond with Naveli, emphasising the fleeting nature of their recent closeness compared to Pranali's years of care. Dhawal watches Natasha indulgently as she enjoys her ice cream. Natasha, followed by Naveli, offers him a taste of the Ice cream. Dhawal is moved, sharing a silent, tearful connection with Natasha's plight.

Hetal brings a lawyer:

Pranali faces Amba's scepticism head-on, asserting her maternal rights over Naveli despite the looming presence of Natasha's household. As Natasha and Naveli enter the Makwana residence hand in hand, Pranali rushes to embrace Naveli, urging her never to leave again. Natasha reveals Dhawal's promise to allow them to stay together, sparking excitement in both girls. Dhawal's smile at the sight warms Amba's heart, reminding her of the man he used to be. Pranali tells Dhawal that while he may reunite with Natasha, Naveli remains her daughter because she has raised her for the past seven years. She firmly asserts that she will not let Naveli be taken away from her.

Legal complexities surface when Hetal arrives with a lawyer, asserting Naveli's rights as Pranali's daughter. She challenges the legality of Natasha and Dhawal's marriage, hinting at a potential custody battle. Shantanu's attempt to take Natasha away is thwarted by her desire to see Naveli. As the episode concludes, Shantanu reaffirms his place in Natasha's memories, asserting he will always be Bittu's Shanu.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, tensions rise as Shantanu prepares to take Natasha home, while Dhawal publicly acknowledges his bond with both Natasha and Naveli, leaving everyone surprised.
