The episode opens with Anuj standing firm, his eyes filled with a mixture of rage and sorrow, as he faces Ankush. There is a palpable tension in the air as Anuj drops a bombshell that no one saw coming—Adhya, his beloved daughter whom he thought he had lost forever, is actually alive. The revelation hits like a bolt of lightning, and Ankush, previously composed, stands frozen in shock. His mouth falls open as he struggles to process the magnitude of what Anuj has just disclosed. For a brief moment, silence lingers, as Ankush's mind races to find words, but guilt and shame render him speechless.
Anuj's anger begins to bubble to the surface as he recounts the heartbreaking months he spent in mourning. He speaks with a tremor in his voice, recalling how he believed his daughter was dead and the unimaginable grief that came with that. Anuj had trusted Ankush and Barkha implicitly, never imagining they would betray him so cruelly. The truth of their lies is now unbearable, and his hurt is palpable.
As the camera zooms in on Anuj, viewers can see the anguish in his eyes. He tells Ankush that the pain of losing a child is a parent’s worst nightmare, but knowing that his pain was the result of deception makes it even more unbearable. Anuj’s voice cracks as he describes how he mourned Adhya for months, convinced that she was gone, while all along Ankush and Barkha knew the truth. The betrayal cuts deep, and Anuj doesn't hold back as he lashes out at Ankush for his callousness. Every word that escapes Anuj’s lips is filled with a mix of sorrow, rage, and disappointment.
"You made me believe my daughter was dead," Anuj seethes, his voice trembling with fury. "You let me live with that pain, and you watched me break every single day, knowing full well that she was alive. How could you do that to me, to your own brother?"
Ankush, who had always prided himself on being composed, cannot meet Anuj’s gaze. The weight of his guilt has crushed him, and there is no defense strong enough to justify the cruelty of his actions. His face is a picture of regret, but it’s clear that words would do little to heal the deep wound he’s inflicted.
Anuj’s anger is unrelenting as he continues to speak of the lies and manipulation that have plagued him. He recounts how Ankush and Barkha not only lied about Adhya but also took advantage of his grief to plot against him. The cold, calculated way they drugged him to take over his company is the ultimate act of betrayal. Anuj’s voice rises with each sentence, his words cutting through the air like a blade.
"You used my grief against me, Ankush," Anuj exclaims, his voice trembling with both anger and disbelief. "You and Barkha took advantage of my vulnerability to steal everything from me—my company, my peace, and worst of all, my time with my daughter. That’s something I will never get back."
The pain in Anuj’s voice is heart-wrenching. As he paces back and forth, his frustration grows more intense. Every step he takes feels heavier, as if the weight of the betrayal is too much to bear. For months, he had trusted Ankush and Barkha, only to discover that they were conspiring against him behind his back. To know that they were the reason he had lost precious moments with his daughter is a reality that seems too cruel to be true. But as Anuj stands there, facing the man who had betrayed him, it is a reality he can no longer deny.
Anuj’s mind flashes back to the day he first believed his daughter was dead. He remembers the suffocating grief, the endless tears, and the nights spent in agony. All of that, he now realizes, was the result of Ankush and Barkha’s lies. The thought of what could have been, had he known the truth from the start, fills him with an overwhelming sense of loss.
“You robbed me of the chance to be with my daughter,” Anuj says, his voice barely a whisper now. “You robbed me of memories, of happiness. How do I forgive that?”
Ankush remains silent, his face twisted with guilt. He knows the damage he’s caused is irreversible. There’s no way to take back the lies, the deception, or the harm he’s done. Ankush tries to find the words to express his regret, but nothing he says will ever be enough to undo the pain Anuj has endured. His betrayal has left a scar that runs too deep.
Anuj, still consumed by anger, isn’t finished. He turns back to Ankush, his eyes filled with determination. He vows to fight back, not just for himself, but for his daughter and everything he holds dear.
"You think you’ve won, but you haven’t," Anuj says, his voice filled with conviction. "I will not let you and Barkha get away with this. You’ve taken enough from me, but this ends now."
Ankush’s silence speaks volumes. He knows that no matter what happens next, he has lost something far more valuable than money or power—he’s lost the trust and love of his brother. And in this moment, it’s clear that no amount of regret or apology will ever mend the broken pieces of their relationship.
As the episode comes to a close, the tension between Anuj and Ankush remains unresolved. The betrayal has left a gaping wound that may never heal, and the road ahead is uncertain. But one thing is clear: Anuj is ready to fight back, and Ankush’s betrayal will have lasting consequences.
