But that night, Tara finds a hidden photo in Arjun’s journal—Mira, age 22, laughing under fairy lights. Tara doesn’t cancel the wedding. Instead, she hatches a plan: “Then let’s make this wedding real. For everyone. And then… you two figure out what family actually means.” The family story deepens. Vikram reveals he’s terminally ill—this wedding is his last wish to see Tara “settled.” Nandini admits she knows about Arjun and Mira’s past; she wants to expose them at the rehearsal dinner unless Mira helps her locate a hidden deed that proves Vikram stole Nandini’s family land decades ago.

Arjun freezes. Then, softly: “Mira.”

Tara overhears. She doesn’t scream. She just asks: “Do you love him, Mira?”
