Udne Ki Aasha 20th September 2024 Episode Summary
The episode opens with Sachin anxiously pacing back and forth, deeply worried about his father, Paresh. A senior doctor soon arrives, assuring Sachin that he will first assess Paresh’s condition before sharing any details. Sachin expresses his distress, highlighting that Paresh has always been health-conscious and has never experienced any chest pain, maintaining a routine of morning walks. The doctor requests Sachin to step outside for a more private discussion.
At the temple, Sayali fervently prays for Paresh’s well-being, her emotions overwhelming her to the point of tears. Observing her distress, Shubha and Juhi approach her, concerned for her state. Shortly after, the doctor delivers grave news to the family: Paresh is suffering from a serious heart condition due to a blockage that impedes blood flow. When Roshni inquires about the next steps, the doctor explains that an urgent angioplasty is necessary to prevent a possible heart attack. The family is taken aback, and Sachin begs the doctor to do whatever it takes to save his father.
As the family processes this alarming news, Renu expresses disbelief at how quickly Paresh’s health has declined. The doctor emphasizes the urgency of the surgery. Tejas then inquires about the costs involved, and the doctor states that the procedure will amount to approximately four lakhs. Concern washes over the family as they confront the financial burden ahead of them. The doctor insists that they must pay the required amount before he can reserve the operating room, leaving Tejas anxious about how they will manage.
Renu clarifies that the family is financially strapped, depending solely on Sachin and Roshni’s income, while she herself has no source of earnings. Sayali, feeling the weight of responsibility, recalls how Renu had previously blamed her for being unable to visit Paresh, leading her to break down in tears.
Shubha intervenes, defending Sayali and stressing that she should not be blamed, lamenting how Paresh is caught in the middle of his children’s mistakes. Sachin continues to feel troubled, and Kishor approaches him, offering his support. Meanwhile, Sayali performs an aarti, earnestly praying for her father’s recovery as the family watches anxiously.
The doctor reiterates the urgent need for surgery, pushing them to arrange for payment without delay. Roshni assures him that they are doing everything possible. However, he informs them that the heart surgeon has a flight to catch and will not be available for four days, which may be too late for Paresh. Sachin is determined to find a way to pay, but Kishor expresses concern over how they will gather the funds.
As desperation sets in, Tejas admits he cannot contribute any money, a sentiment echoed by Roshni. Kishor laments that Paresh has always been there to help others, and now, when he needs support, no one seems available. Renu urges the family to find a solution. Sachin attempts to make calls in hopes of raising funds, while Roshni suggests applying for a loan from work. Tejas counters that it would take too long, and Renu proposes reaching out to Shakuntala for help, but she is out of town. Renu then urges Roshni to ask her father for assistance, but Roshni hesitates, feeling uncomfortable with the idea.
When pressed, Roshni reveals that her father is currently at a meditation camp and cannot be reached. Sachin expresses skepticism about this, sensing something is amiss. In the midst of their discussions, Renu concludes that without assistance from Roshni’s father, they may be out of options. In a moment of desperation, Roshni suggests mortgaging their house to secure the necessary funds. Sachin is taken aback by her proposal, leaving the family grappling with the heavy burden of their dire situation.
