She tells Karan that this deception will not stop her from getting to the truth about where Mihir really is.

Tripti's dangerous threat
Elsewhere, Tripti calls Sahil and warns him that their story is far from over. She declares that Shantiniketan Part 2 is about to begin, hinting at her plans for revenge. Although Sahil dismisses her threats, Tripti sweetly manipulates Subhash into celebrating their anniversary in Mumbai and even convinces him to invite the Virani family. Her manipulation is careful and calculated, designed to trap the family when they least expect it.
Tulsi's shocking announcement
Later, Tulsi notices that every family member is occupied with their own matters and no one is paying attention to the house or its needs. She grabs everyone's attention by striking a plate, leaving the family shocked and confused. Tulsi says that although Shantiniketan has been divided, there is still only one key and someone must take responsibility for it. Niyati questions the urgency of Tulsi's decision since Nandini is not present, but Damini supports Tulsi.
The key and the responsibility
Tulsi explains that the key represents the ownership and responsibility of Shantiniketan. Having carried this responsibility for years, she now wants to hand it over to one of the daughters-in-law so she can finally step back and rest. The family is taken aback by the decision as they understand that Tulsi is ready to hand over her role. This is a turning point in the household dynamics and paves the way for new conflicts and alliances to emerge.
