Beekji expresses longing for India every year, but this time, India seems to have come to them. She feels delighted to meet the kids. Baa jokingly asks about being missed, to which Beekji replies with a sweet remark about saving such sentiments for festivals. Yashdeep inquires about Kinjal and Babu ji.
Anupama mentions that Babu ji is in the washroom, and Kinjal will join later after her online meeting. Yashdeep asks if everyone will join online. Vanraj, teasingly, questions Yashdeep’s interest, given his friendship with Anupama. Beekji then comments to Yashdeep that Vanraj seems bitter, and she realizes she forgot to serve drinks.
Anupama offers to bring them, but Beekji insists they have hired help and asks Anupama to stay out of the kitchen. The waiter serves drinks, and Baa playfully asks if there’s wine in them. Beekji replies that they only add alcohol to drinks for those who drink, unlike Baa who serves dhokla to those expecting paratha, which amuses everyone. Babu ji playfully teases Beekji with a fake gun, and she responds in jest, asking him not to shoot.
Meanwhile, Kinjal is alone at home, giving a presentation. She feels a presence behind her but dismisses it as her imagination and continues with the presentation. Anupama introduces Babu ji to Beekji, praising his cool demeanor. Babu ji apologizes, and Beekji playfully suggests she’s more beautiful than Seerat from Jamnagar, sparking a moment of jealousy in Baa. Vanraj remarks that the day will witness many fiery exchanges.
As everyone performs the Holika ritual, offering prayers, each expresses their personal wishes. Vanraj prays for his family’s togetherness, Pakhi for an American business visa and to be free of Adhik, Kavya for Mahi’s happiness, and so on. Anupama prays for her children, Anuj, Shruti, Beekji, and Yashdeep, also asking for help to rid herself of the stigma on her forehead. Just then, she sees Anuj, Aadhya, and Shruti standing there.
Aadhya, upset, expresses her disdain for the Indian community. Shruti tries to calm her, and Vanraj calls Anuj, initiating a series of interactions where Aadhya’s behavior causes tension. Anuj’s attempts to manage the situation lead to further conflict, culminating in Aadhya accidentally pushing Anupama. The evening ends with Aadhya storming off, leaving everyone shocked and dismayed.
