Episode Ends
Precap: None
Our Take:
Abhira wrongly assumed that Arman would not be able to handle the truth about Meher. She could have at least hinted at it earlier. By thinking Arman was weak, Abhira has made a major mistake. Now, her hidden truth is bound to create a storm in her life. Will Arman learn the truth about Vani? Will Myra accept Vani? And will Abhira be able to balance her responsibilities toward both Vani and Myra?
