Pandya Store: Naveli falls unconscious, and Dhawal admires Natasha's concern

Tonight's Pandya Store episode opens with Pranali slapping Chirag, asserting that she is Naveli's mother. She questions his insensiveness in revealing the truth to a small child. When Natasha (Priyanshi Yadav) tries to approach Naveli, Shantanu (Sagar Parekh) intervenes, insisting that he will take Natasha with him and starts dragging her away. Hetal (Falaq Naaz) smirks at the scene, while Dhawal (Rohit Chandel) stands by, unable to act. Naveli faints upon seeing Natasha being taken away. Natasha, noticing this, rushes to Naveli's side. Together with Dhawal, she supports Naveli and urges someone to call a doctor immediately. Despite Shantanu's attempts to forcibly take Natasha again, she manages to break free and return to Naveli's side.

In a desperate tone, Natasha questions Dhawal about Naveli's condition, holding her friend and crying. Dhawal gazes at Natasha with affection as she shows her concern for Naveli. Later, Dhawal pleads with Shantanu to allow Natasha to stay, emphasising that separating the children would cause irreparable emotional harm. Dhawal then carries Naveli to her room. Natasha, furious with Shantanu, retreats to her own room. Meanwhile, Pranali, in a fit of rage, destroys things in her room. Bhavin confronts her, questioning her sanity. Pranali reminds him that Naveli was the one who first gave him the right to be a father.

Dhawal apologises to Naveli:

When Bhavin points out that Naveli is Dhawal's daughter, Pranali retorts by calling him selfish and declares that she will never let Naveli be taken from her. As Naveli regains consciousness, she tells Dhawal she wants Bittu to stay with them. Dhawal reassures her that he will convince everyone to let Bittu remain at the Makwana house. Shantanu's sister tries to reason with Natasha, insisting they need to return to Mumbai, but Natasha pretends to fall asleep to avoid the conversation. Pranali, meanwhile, is tormented by memories of Naveli playing with her doll.

Naveli asks Dhawal why he often scolds her and never gives her toys. Dhawal apologises, revealing a cupboard full of toys he had bought for her. Natasha enters and jokingly asks where her toys are. She then slips and falls into Dhawal, who catches her and gently brushes her hair away from her face. Dhawal's button gets caught in Natasha's chain, and as he untangles it, he gazes at her fondly.

Hetal provokes Pranali:

Naveli lies on the bed and asks Natasha to sleep beside her. Natasha complies, positioning herself next to Dhawal. As Naveli rests her head on Dhawal's lap, Natasha does the same, and Dhawal tenderly strokes both of their heads. Pranali sees this and becomes furious. Hetal takes advantage of the situation, stirring Pranali's anger by suggesting that Naveli is slipping away from her and will soon forget her entirely. Hetal insinuates that for Pranali to reclaim Naveli, Natasha must be removed from the picture. The episode concludes with Pranali vowing to do whatever it takes to get Naveli back and join hands with Hetal.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Dhawal shows Natasha old photographs of the two of them, reminding her of their past love and asking if she remembers anything. Natasha focuses intently on the photos and is stunned to recognise Amrish.
