Laksh’s participation in a school Diwali competition is in jeopardy because official records still list Roshni Deshmukh as his mother, and school authorities have refused to amend the documents without legal proof. The episode of Udne Ki Aasha aired on 7 November 2026 showed Sayali and Sachin racing to secure court-certified papers before the deadline while the family prepared for a three-round event at the school.
The episode began with Sayali and Sachin discussing Laksh’s entry in the school competition. School authorities explained that official records cannot be changed without proper legal documents, such as an Aadhaar card, birth certificate or papers signed by a gazetted officer.
The teacher warned that unless the documents were submitted before the deadline, Laksh would have to participate under Roshni Deshmukh’s name as mentioned in the existing school records. Sayali requested additional time and said the family had already started arranging the paperwork. The teacher refused to make any changes without legal proof.
Sayali and Sachin decided to contact a lawyer. Sachin assured her that she should concentrate on the competition while he handled the legal formalities. He asked that all necessary documents and photographs be prepared and uploaded quickly, and he stressed the importance of correcting Laksh’s parental details.
Sachin practised with the children for the competition. Sayali became confused when she noticed him pretending to be their uncle instead of their father.
Sayali later complained about knee pain despite practising yoga six or seven days a week. Sachin suggested asking ChatGPT for advice. He explained that Sayali is 55 years old and that her doctor had recommended additional exercises alongside yoga. ChatGPT explained that yoga improves flexibility and balance, while strength training helps strengthen the muscles supporting the knees. It also recommended consulting a doctor or physiotherapist before starting new exercises. Sachin joked that he should have married ChatGPT, and the couple went to sleep.
The next morning, Sachin received confirmation that the certified court documents would be available. He planned to collect them and visit the school directly.
The family’s preparations for the Diwali Dhamaka competition turned chaotic. Sachin woke everyone up because they had to reach the school by 8 AM. A power cut and a stopped water motor left everyone struggling to find clothes, spectacles and other essentials.
Sayali tried to manage the children while getting everyone ready. Laksh became emotional and remembered how Roshni used to help him get dressed. Sayali reassured him and promised to fix his clothes. She became frustrated because everyone expected her to handle all the household responsibilities. Sachin tried to help, but the family continued rushing as time ran out.
Everyone finally left for the school, but another argument began when their vehicle was blocked by another car. Sachin lost his temper and argued with the driver. Sayali asked him to control himself. The other family criticised Sachin for creating unnecessary trouble. Sachin insisted that they had worked hard and come to win the competition.
At the school, organisers explained the three rounds of the Diwali Dhamaka competition. The first round is a grandparents’ fancy dress competition, the second is a father-son ball competition, and the third is a mother-child dance competition. The combined scores of all three rounds will determine the winner.
Laksh became worried when he could not find his parents and wondered how he would participate without them. The organisers began introducing the participants. Konkuri Deshmukh introduced herself as Sandy Deshmukh’s granddaughter and described her mother as the best mother in the world.
The episode ended with the competition introductions underway and Laksh still uncertain about his parents’ presence.
The precap hinted at a shocking revelation involving Laksh and someone who never wanted certain people to return to their lives.
