Today's episode of Ishqbaaz starts with Shivay(Nakuul Mehta) running towards the ramp and thrashing Viraj who gets unconscious. Anika(Surbhi Chandna) is as shocked as is everyone else and she walks up to Shivay but he refuses to speak to her. Later the press questions Shivay about his relationship with Anika and also why he thrashed the top cricketer of the country. Anika too is questioned about her relationship with Viraj and Shivay cannot bear this. Shivay shields her as he asks the media to stop questioning her and that he would answer all of their questions. Shivay says that Pooja is his wife and Pooja is elated that finally, her trap is working. Anika is shattered as she walks away, but Shivay suddenly stops her by saying that Pooja is his false wife as their marriage was a false one.

Anika is relieved at this information but is confused when the media says that she went against the family. Shivay says that whatever issues are between him and his wife is theirs alons, and he will not give them or anyone any explanations for it. Pooja now knows her game is up as she thinks she should play the Chutki card. She then says that she is Anika's sister Chutki and Roop had asked her to get married to Shivay for Anika's safety. Anika is overwhelmed at this information and Pooja walks to Anika. Shivay stops this again as he says that Pooja has been living with them for so long and she would be a fool to think that Shivay will not inquire about her background. He asks her to prove that she is Chutki to which Pooja is left speechless.

Shivay then goes on to add that after Anika had shown him her sister's picture, he had wanted to search for Chutki, but Anika went away from him. The one day by accident Omkara chanced to give him the picture Gauri had of her family. Shivay recognised it as the same one Anika had. He also remembered the time Gauri's mother had told him that Gauri was adopted. Shivay gets Gauri to Anika as the sisters are overwhelmed. Gauri says that she always missed her sister and yet she did not know that all this while she was with her. Anika also talks about the connection she felt with Gauri always. They hug each other as Pooja walks away. Omkara reveals that they wanted to reveal this to Anika and Gauri together. Rudra makes the atmosphere lively by saying that this is a moment of joy. Omkara hugs the two sisters, but Shivay stands away as he looks at Anika. There is a tension between the duo which everyone notices.
