Shweta talks Vaidehi into smearing kohl on Madhav’s face. Madhav scolds Vaidehi in front of everybody when he wakes up in the morning. Shweta, pretending to be Vaidehi’s ally, takes the blame on herself. When Nilambari sees Madhav chiding Shweta, she questions Vaidehi as to why she was waiting outside Madhav’s room the previous night. However, Chitra implicates Rani and Sangram by blackening their hands. Later, a guilty Madhav indirectly apologises to Vaidehi by helping her in the kitchen.
