In the February 1 episode of Chhoti Bahu on Zee TV, Birju keeps Radhika's whereabouts a secret from the family by saying that he was with her when she was helping the poor by donating money and alms to them. Though Mrinalini tries to blow the issue out of proportion, Dev silences her by standing up for Radhika.
However, the delay caused by Radhika does threaten the fulfillment of the prayers Dev had performed for Radhika's recovery. As time passes, the priest and Shastriji realize that if Dev and Radhika do not come for the prayers on time they will have to wait for the next eclipse to complete the prayers.
But as always, Dev and Radhika's faith crosses every obstacle as they manage to arrive at the mouth of Takshakraj's cave before time runs out. Radhika and Dev enter the snake infested cave to pray and thank Takshakraj for blessing Radhika and expediting her recovery.
