Raghav warns Mishri to stop pretending and says if she causes more problems, she’ll see his bad side. Mishri replies that she’s just beginning and is fighting for her rights. Raghav gives her cleaning supplies and tells her he only sees her as a servant. Mishri accepts and says she’s ready to do housework in her in-laws’ home too. Raghav then tells her to keep cleaning but warns her to stay away from him and Vaani. After he leaves, Mishri feels sad because of his hatred. Parvathi wonders why Mishri is acting like this.
Meanwhile, Supriya is looking for Mishri and notices that Mishri’s room is messy. While cleaning, she accidentally knocks over a table and finds a torn shirt. She realizes the shirt belongs to Ranjith and thinks he must have done something bad to Mishri. Feeling disgusted, she hides the shirt before Ranjith enters the room. When he asks why she’s staring at him, she lies and quickly leaves.
Raghav tries to call Vaani but gets frustrated when Mishri calls instead. She asks him to help place Krishna’s idol on the swing for the puja (a religious ritual). He refuses, saying he’ll do it with Vaani. But when he calls Vaani, she says she’s busy. Raghav is disappointed, especially after hearing Kalpana advising Vaani to play hard to get. But Vaani isn’t interested in playing games.
After Vaani says no to Raghav, Mishri teases him. Sulekha asks about Vaani, and Mishri hints that Raghav shouldn’t trust people too easily. During the puja, Mishri makes Raghav trip but catches the Krishna idol just in time. She says it seems God wants her to do the ritual with her husband. Feeling cornered, Raghav reluctantly agrees to join her. Sulekha scolds Mishri for touching the idol, saying only Raghav’s wife has that right. Ridhi accuses Mishri of making Raghav fall on purpose, and Sulekha humiliates her further. Parvathi tries to send Mishri to her room, while Chithra suggests that Mishri is acting as if she were Raghav’s wife. Sulekha threatens to throw Mishri out if she keeps behaving this way.
Later, Raghav tells Mishri he will put her in her place. He gives her an English book and tells her to prepare for her entrance exam. When she asks if he’s still angry, he says yes, but he won’t take away someone’s favorite things. He’s doing this because she’s his responsibility and urges her to focus on her studies instead of interfering in his and Vaani’s lives. But Mishri feels she must keep trying for Raghav’s sake.
