The episode starts with both Ajit and Tanya getting startled to see Rohan standing at the exit staring at them. They try to adjust themselves from the awkwardness of the situation as Rohan takes slow steps forward. Rohan apologises saying, “I’m sorry that I came in without knocking, but then I couldn’t hold on my excitement to take my daughter in my hands that……” Tanya cuts in saying, “She is not your daughter Rohan, but mine and Ajit’s daughter!” Rohan gets dejected on hearing that; however, he maintains his composure and says, “Fine I just want to hold Samaira in my hands for a few seconds, please don’t deny me that Tanya!” Tanya reminisces the past on how Rohan had broken his relationship with her by breaking all ties with both her and her child. She glares at him and says, “Well you had said that you don’t want to have any relations with this child Rohan!” Rohan is taken aback at her words and reminisces of having said those words to her when he broke his marriage. He is left speechless unable to defend himself anymore. Ajit feels bad for his brother and tries to convince Tanya by holding her hand, Tanya rolls her eyes in denial. Nevertheless, Ajit continues to persuade and finally Tanya gives in. She tells Rohan, “Fine you can take Samaira in your hands just for a few minutes, but REMEMBER THAT Samaira is not YOUR DAUGHTER! She is born as Samaira Ajit Sippy and will be known like that all throughout her life!” Rohan is astounded at those words but then agrees sadly with a nod. Soon, Ajit takes Samaira and places her in Rohan’s arms. Rohan is overwhelmed with mixed emotions and lets out a smile seeing his daughter. Tanya and Ajit look on. Rohan starts murmuring to Samaira catching her little finger, “Hey baby? Do you know who I’m?” Tanya and Ajit get tensed at that question. Tanya calls out Rohan and shakes her head signing NO. Rohan nods and continues with Samaira, “I’m your Chote Tau ji, Samaira!” Tanya and Ajit heave a sigh of relief, while a tear rolls down Rohan’s cheek as he says, “And I’m so happy to get such a beautiful niece like you! Welcome to our family, Samaira!” on saying that he quickly places Samaira next to Tanya and rushes out. Once he is out, he breaks down into tears. All the family members are happily discussing about welcoming Samaira to the Sippy Mansion that they do not notice Rohan in tears. However, Pari seeing Rohan cry, approaches him. As she places her hand on his shoulder, he quickly hugs her and utters, “I was so WRONG Pari! I WAS SO WRONG!” Pari is astonished, while Rohan continues, “I left Tanya because I loved you but I shouldn’t have broken my relations with my child, Pari!” Pari gets irritated and demands, “What do you want to say Rohan that you made a mistake by CHOOSING ME?” Rohan shakes his head and says, “No Pari! I never meant that! I meant that even being Samaira’s father I cannot even hold her for long, nor spend time with her all because I had also broken all ties with her along with Tanya! Now I feel deeply pained seeing Ajit getting all the fatherly rights which I should have got!” Pari gets mad hearing that and continues, “Is your pain only because Ajit is Samaira’s father now or is it also because Ajit is your ex-wife Tanya’s husband?” Rohit is shocked with mouth agape at that question. He immediately questions Pari, “What are you saying Pari? I have always loved you which is why I left Tanya to be with you, then why would I be bothered about Ajit being Tanya’s husband?” Pari shakes her head and says, “Don’t know Rohan but when I saw you so concerned for that Tanya during her labour, I got so annoyed!” Rohan tries to justify himself by catching Pari’s face, “No Pari! Me helping Tanya has nothing to do with my feelings, I have loved you with my heart and will always love only you, there is no doubt about that!” Pari frees herself from Rohan’s touch saying, “I don’t know whether you are saying the truth or not but at that moment, I felt that you still feel and care for Tanya!” on saying that, she swiftly turns and leaves from there, while Rohan gets thinking, “No it’s impossible that I still have feelings for Tanya!”
In Sippy Mansion
Veena does the aarthi of Ajit, Tanya and Samaira in a traditional Sindhi way. Ajit-Tanya smile beamingly at each other and at Samaira. Rohan gets annoyed on seeing the bond between Tanya-Ajit and his daughter. After doing all the rituals, Veena welcomes them inside saying, “Today my first grandchild has come home, so a special thanks to my youngest son and daughter-in-law for bringing home one of the most beautiful gifts of the world!” Rohit remarks, “Yeah soon, Rohan and Pari too will bring home the same gift but I don’t know when will my turn come?” Everyone laughs, while Sonakshi blushes. After Tanya-Ajit enter and make themselves comfortable, Suman reaches the Sippy Mansion. Veena gets exasperated seeing her and asks, “What the heck are you doing here in our house on such an auspicious day?” Suman grins and says, “Come on Samdhi ji, now that two of my daughters are married here, it will become a habit for me to visit the Sippy Mansion once in a while!” Veena is extremely mad at her obnoxious remarks, however she controls herself. Sonakshi comes forward and tries to handle her mother, “Mamma why did you come here? Don’t you know that……” Suman cuts in saying, “I have come here to talk to Pari, Sona! And will not leave without talking to her!” Sonakshi is amazed at her mother’s harshness and looks towards Pari. Pari nods and takes Suman along with her to her room. After they leave, Veena says, “I don’t know why but I can’t stand this Suman Rastogi!” Sonakshi feels bad and looks on upstairs towards Pari’s room.
In Pari’s room
Pari demands, “Mom I am doing each and everything according to your plan, then why did you come here to check on me?” Suman catches her hands and says, “Pari! I know that you are going exactly as per my plan! But I have not come here for checking that, I have come here to announce the good news that you have been selected for the famous cine director X’s next film. Pari eyes grow big in excitement. She jumps in happiness and unconsciously takes out an alcohol bottle from the cupboard and quickly gulps a glass of it, just when Rohan reaches and shouts, “Pari!” Pari gets shocked on hearing his voice and puts the glass down.
