As Angad safely delivers his father to their home, Mihir takes a heartfelt moment to express his immense pride in his son. He openly shares his joy and satisfaction at witnessing the remarkable person Angad has matured into over the years.
Mihir's Gratitude and Unwavering Support for Tulsi
Mihir further confides in Angad, revealing his profound gratitude that Tulsi is now residing with him. He admits to having carried constant worries about her well-being for a long time. Discovering that she chose to live with their son brought him a significant sense of relief and peace of mind. When Angad cautiously probes about the potential scenario of Noina officially taking over Tulsi's position in Shanti Niketan, Mihir dismisses the notion without hesitation. He firmly declares that no one could ever replace Tulsi or usurp her official and irreplaceable role within the household.
Garima's Mysterious Disappearance Sparks Panic
In a parallel and alarming development, Pari arrives at her daughter Garima's school only to be met with shocking news: her daughter has already departed. Frantically seeking answers, Pari learns from Garima's teacher that the child left with a driver whom she appeared to know quite well. Overwhelmed by panic, Pari immediately contacts Ajay, who strives to calm her, assuring that they will locate their daughter without delay.
The situation escalates as the police are summoned to investigate the disappearance. Officers proceed to question Pari, Ajay, Tulsi, Vrinda, and Angad thoroughly about the incident. Ranvijay is also called in for questioning, during which Pari directly accuses him of involvement in Garima's vanishing. In a proactive effort to identify the culprit, Tulsi presents photographs of all drivers and staff members to the school teachers. They confirm that none of these individuals were responsible for taking Garima.
Desperate Search Efforts Across the City
Determined to find the missing girl, Tulsi, Vrinda, and Pari mobilize into action. They print numerous sheets of paper containing Garima's detailed information and photograph, then take to the streets in a city-wide search operation. Distributing pamphlets and inquiring at every possible location Garima might have visited, they leave no stone unturned in their quest to bring her home safely.
Garima Found and Maniram's Motive Revealed
After an intense period of searching, the family uncovers the truth: Pari's daughter has been kidnapped by Maniram, who orchestrated the act as revenge against the Virani family. Fortunately, Garima is discovered unharmed and secure within Maniram's residence. The police swiftly arrive at the scene, placing Maniram under arrest while Pari experiences overwhelming relief and joy at being reunited with her daughter.
In a heated confrontation before Maniram's arrest, Ranvijay grabs him by the collar in a fit of anger. However, Maniram's wife intervenes to stop the altercation, leaving Ranvijay visibly shocked as he instantly recognizes her face.
Maniram's Explanation and Ranvijay's Dark Past Exposed
Maniram then provides a detailed explanation to the assembled family, revealing his primary motive for kidnapping Garima. He attributes his actions directly to Ranvijay and his past behavior. According to Maniram, Ranvijay and his friends once encountered his wife on her way home. They subjected her to catcalling and eve-teasing before forcibly pulling her into their car and assaulting her.
During the assault, a nearby police siren startled the perpetrators, causing them to panic. They pushed her out of the moving vehicle onto the road, struck her head with a bottle, and fled the scene. Despite the trauma, she managed to capture a photograph of the car involved, which clearly identified it as belonging to Ranvijay. Upon hearing this harrowing account, Tulsi demands immediate action, instructing the police to take Ranvijay into custody and file an official complaint against him for his alleged crimes.
