Soulmate update Wednesday 16 April 2025

Tejas and Akash confront Sachin angrily, but Sachin stands his ground and fires back at them. Tejas accuses him, saying, “You act like you’re Dad’s only son. We love him too—you just show it more openly while we stay quiet.” Akash adds, “You can’t control your temper. Dad is in this state because of you.” Enraged, Sachin grabs Akash by the collar and threatens, “I’ll kill you!” Akash breaks free, yelling, “Let go of me!” Sachin snaps, “You two are ganging up against me—both of you are cheaters!” Akash pleads, “Try to understand what I’m trying to say.” Meanwhile, everyone starts gathering for Riya and Akash’s haldi ceremony.

Paresh comments that Sachin should be present, saying he has always cared deeply for Akash. Tejas dismisses that as something from the past. Paresh cautions, “I told you not to expect old grudges to vanish in a day. We can’t just cast Sachin out of this family.” Riya interjects, “If he comes, he’ll only behave rudely. It’s better he stays away.” Sayali tries to reason with her. Paresh agrees with Sayali and insists, “Sachin is the glue that holds this family together.” He then asks Sayali to bring Sachin. She leaves to call him. Roshni jokes, “Let him come. It’ll be entertaining.” Renu and Roshni suggest beginning the rituals. Paresh gives the go-ahead.

Sayali approaches Sachin and invites him to the haldi function. He bluntly asks why he should come. She tells him the ceremony is happening and they should be there to bless the couple. He says he has other plans and needs to go for a ride pick-up. Sayali insists, saying they should give their blessings. Sachin snaps, “I’ll slap them instead!” She reminds him how Akash had fulfilled his duty during their own ceremony. “Be the elder brother and bless him,” she urges. But Sachin refuses, still hurt. “Tejas and Akash blamed me for Dad’s heart attack. How can I just forget that?” Sayali gently tells him to let it go and tries to convince him.

Back at the ceremony, Renu and Roshni carry out the haldi rituals. Renu doubts if Sachin will show up. Just then, Sayali arrives with Sachin. He grumbles, “Why did you drag me here?” Renu remarks that she had told Paresh not to invite him. Sachin replies sarcastically, saying he was happier working with his car. Paresh asks Sayali to continue with the rituals. Sayali performs the haldi ritual. Renu then asks the couple to seek blessings. Paresh and Renu bless Akash and Riya, and Paresh encourages Akash to also take Tejas’s blessings. Sachin makes a snide remark at Tejas. Paresh urges Sachin to give his blessings too, but Sachin refuses with a cold “Let it be.”

Riya then says they’ll take Sayali’s blessings. But Paresh insists, “You must take blessings from both Sayali and Sachin together.” Akash and Riya oblige. Paresh announces that all the wedding rituals are now complete and that it’s time for the couple to embrace their responsibilities as a family. “You’ve both been forgiven for your mistakes,” he says. Riya responds, “We understand—but we didn’t do anything wrong.”

She explains, “We liked each other and tried to tell the families. But when you didn’t accept our relationship, we went ahead and got married. That’s not wrong.” Sachin gets furious, but Sayali stops him from reacting. Paresh replies, “Joy said a lot of hurtful things. He didn’t even show up for Diwali or congratulate anyone. What does that mean? It shows he still holds resentment against me.”
