Anandi hugs Teacherji (TJ) and cries. TJ consoles her and tells her that she is lucky to have such a good saasra where they consider her a daughter and not DIL. She says she is very proud of Anandi who despite everything, has tried to live her life again and has resumed studying. She says she only has one complaint.
She reminds Anandi of an incident when she didn't tell TJ of who hid her notebook and TJ had taught her that putting up with injustice is just as wrong as committing it. She demands to know why Anandi has not fought for her rights. She should stand up for herself and set an example to all the girls that she teaches. Anandi does not agree and says that even if she fights, she will not get her old Jagya back. TJ says she doesn't need to get Jagya back, but he should be punished for his doing. Anandi says there is no point in hurting Jagya, knowing her pain won't go away. TJ says she need to punish Jagya so that other girls who are in similar situations will get the courage to stand up for themselves and also boys like Jagya will know better than to play with others' lives.
Bhairav agrees with TJ and says Jagya should be punished. Anandi is still not convinced and says she wants to set another example by showing that you can forget all bitterness and move on in life. TJ is very impressed by Anandi's maturity. She is focusing on mending her life rather than worrying about other things. DS looks on with pride. Anandi then tells TJ that she does not want to be a doctor. Everyone is shocked.
Bhairav asks Anandi if she is changing her mind because of what Gauri says. Anandi says she isn't even thinking of that. She does not want to go down a path she has no interest. She then declares that whatever wrong has happened in her life is not because of Jagya, but because of bal vivah. She feels she is in this position due to bal vivah. She sees how many girls are affected by this and wants to help such girls who want to achieve something but don't have any support. Anandi then declares that she wants to be a teacher who guides people who need help and enlighten the society.
TJ then tells Anandi that she shouldn't be a teacher since she won't be able to impact anyone's lives due to the inability to possess any power in a teacher's capacity. She urges Anandi to be a leader and a person who is influential enough to bring about a change. DS is shocked. She tells TJ that while she encourages and supports Anandi's education, she tells TJ that it looks like she is hinting that Anandi should be a politician. She says this is not possible as politicians are all corrupt soulless people. She won't allow Anandi to sully herself by being a politician.
TJ says she was only trying to tell Anandi abt her perspective. She encourages Anandi to stand up and be a guide to other balika-vadhu's. Anandi in thoughts about her future and smiles hopefully.
Precap : Some villagers lament in front of Anandi about being cheated by a local sahukar off his land.
