In today’s episode of Ishani, emotions run deep as Ishani finds herself torn between her responsibility toward Shashwat and her relationship with Anurag. The episode beautifully captures a battle between heart and duty, leaving viewers moved by Ishani’s sacrifice.
Shashwat Requests Ishani to Stay for Pihu’s Wedding
The episode opens with Shashwat softly asking Ishani for forgiveness. Ishani replies that she had already forgiven him long ago. Shashwat then reveals his fragile health, confessing that his heart is weak and he doesn’t expect to live for many more years. Before his time ends, he wishes to fulfill his most important duty — Pihu’s marriage. He emotionally requests Ishani to stay with them until the wedding, admitting that while he has no right to ask, her presence would mean the world to him.
Pihu hugs her father tearfully, promising that nothing will happen to him, and pleads with Ishani to stay. Ishani hesitates, worrying that Anurag might misunderstand her intentions. Shashwat offers to speak to Anurag personally, but Ishani declines. Raj Didi also joins in, requesting Ishani to stay and asking Pihu to call Siddarth’s family the next day to discuss the wedding.
Ishani Agrees to Stay, Fulfilling Shashwat’s Wish
Moved by everyone’s emotions, Ishani finally agrees to stay until Pihu’s marriage. Pihu rejoices and embraces her warmly. Shashwat thanks Ishani with a smile, joking that he used “emotional blackmail” to convince her. He admits that there was a time when he wanted her to leave the house, but now he wants her to stay, even though he feels unworthy of making that request. Ishani smiles softly and tells him she still has to meet Anurag.
Anurag and Ishani’s Emotional Confrontation
Later, Ishani meets Anurag at a café. The atmosphere is tense as Anurag coldly asks what she wants to talk about. Ishani questions why he’s behaving like a stranger. Anurag replies that it’s only her perception. Trying to ease the tension, Ishani informs him that they won the case and that Shashwat’s health is improving. Hearing this, Anurag suggests she can now move in with him, apologizing for his previous harsh words. He explains that he was hurt when she returned to Shashwat’s house because he had been eagerly waiting to marry her.
Anurag invites Ishani to his home to meet his mother, but Ishani refuses, saying Shashwat’s health is still delicate. Anurag, visibly frustrated, says it’s not their problem. Ishani insists that Shashwat emotionally requested her to stay until Pihu’s wedding and that she cannot ignore his plea.
Anurag’s Heartbreak and Ishani’s Dilemma
Unable to control his anger, Anurag says he won’t argue further because she always misunderstands him. He bitterly admits that it was his mistake to wait for a married woman, implying Ishani still belongs to her past. He accuses her of never being able to leave Shashwat behind. Ishani pleads with him to understand her situation, but Anurag declares that she isn’t ready for marriage.
When Ishani tries to reason that it’s only for a few days, Anurag coldly replies that she should do what she thinks is right, and he will do the same. He decides to tell his mother to find another girl for him since she wants to see him settled. Before leaving, Anurag turns to Ishani and tells her to ask herself truthfully — does she really love him?
