Today's episode of Ishqbaaz starts with Anika(Surbhi Chandna) running behind the tempo in which Daksh is carrying Payal away. Anika takes an auto and follows the tempo.

Gauri is finding it hard to pacify Nikhil and his family at home as they wait for Anika. Chachi badmouths Anika and says that she must be at Oberoi mansion as she always ends up there even though she does not work there anymore.

Gauri gives it back to Chachi and says that Anika works so hard for this family. Gauri keeps trying to reach Anika. Anika keeps a watch on Daksh who is bringing in furniture to the Oberoi mansion.

He tells Shivay(Nakuul Mehta) that his room is getting renovated and so he needed to put his things somewhere. Anika sees an almirah being taken in and knows that Payal is inside.

She decides to go in somehow and save them all. Shivay asks Khanna to be sure that Anika does not enter the house anyhow. The guests at Anika's house say that Anika does not seem interested in the marriage and so they should leave.

Nikhil too gets furious and says that he knows where Anika is and he walks away leaving Gauri helpless. Anika disguises as Shanno halwayin. Khanna and the security refuse to let Anika in without showing her face.

Anika says that she will show her face to Shivay only. Finally, Shivay looks at her through a mirror and lets her in. There Daksh tells Tia that he has locked Payal in a cupboard and brought it into the house.

He says that Anika cannot enter the Oberoi mansion and so it is the safest place to keep Payal. Daksh and Tia notice Anika walk in but do not recognise her. Tia though demands to see her face.

Shivay walks in just in time and says that she is the cook for the wedding. Shivay takes Anika away to show her the kitchen. On their way, Anika asks Shivay if Daksh was the groom.

Shivay tells her that if she knows Anika, then she should keep away from her. Later they have a moment when Rudra insists Shivay should put a rosebud on his coat and Anika helps him do that.

They stare at each other and soon wonder what is wrong with them. Anika is making sweets and later takes it around also wanting to search Payal in the pretext.

Nikhil barges in searching for Anika but Shivay stops him and says that Anika is not there. He also says that Anika is a characterless girl and he is not surprised that she is missing from her own wedding.
