The episode begins with Anupama asking what Aadhya has done. Baa says she was selling sarees in the market. Dolly shows a video of Aadhya being identified by the neighbors, who made a video of her. Aadhya had thought she needed to sell sarees to buy costumes and jewelry for the competition. Flashback ends. Baa mentions that she sold sarees at a discount but lowered their respect for nothing. Aadhya asks what her respect has to do with her work, and Baa replies that since Aadhya is staying here, their respect is tied to it. Aadhya says that if people ask about Krishnakunj, they will know it as a place full of noise. The family gets upset and asks Anupama why she brought Aadhya here. Anupama says enough. Aadhya questions the kind of respect this is and argues that she doesn’t lose when she fights, but her respect was lost when she worked hard to earn money. She says she sold sarees to buy her own costume and jewelry, while everyone is here to take care of others, but she has to arrange everything herself. Anupama is emotional. Baa accuses Aadhya of showing attitude while making a mistake. Aadhya says that’s their problem, not hers. She then folds her hands before God, applies tilak, and takes an apple as Prasad. She says she is not taking her mother’s blessings but God’s blessings, and she will win. Baa tells Ansh, Ishu, and Pari that she got special puja done for them and gives them flowers for good luck. When she says the flower is finished for Mahi, Anupama insists that everyone should get the blessings. Baa remarks that blessings aren’t like oxygen for everyone to get, and Aadhya gets angry but stays calm and leaves. Mahi is hurt and walks away.

Baa worries that Anupama might show partiality, and Dolly says she’ll make her daughter win. Toshu mentions that now Anupama will give unfair advantage to her own child.
The anchor introduces Anupama as a professional dancer, winner of the Superstar Chef trophy, and owner of the popular cloud kitchen “Anu Ki Rasoi.” He mentions that she had refused to be a judge initially, as her kids were participating, praising her honesty. Anupama greets everyone, saying art is a blessing from Maa Saraswati and Prasad from Kanha ji. She says that arrogance, ego, and jealousy drive art far away and advises the participants to work hard, ask for God’s blessing, but never wish for someone else’s defeat. She encourages them to win with talent and character. She wishes them all the best. The anchor, Rohan, asks Anupama to dance to kick off the competition. Anupama hesitates but agrees after the kids cheer for her.
Anupama dances to “Chal Wahin Chale,” reflecting on the events and ending her dance, thinking that her family should not lose, no matter who wins. Aadhya believes Anupama will give her fewer marks to make her lose, but she resolves to perform so well that the other judges will give her high scores.
