Titu's father confronts him about the money he lost at the magic show and threatens to take his bike away if he fails in his exams. Titu is baffled by his exam result. Kamlesh is infuriated and gets angry at a postman for delivering the wrong result to their house. Later, Kamlesh informs Titu's father about Titu's result being exchanged with Panchi’s and Titu's father apologises to Kamlesh. Rachna's would-be husband congratulates Panchi on her success. Meanwhile, Titu's father, Govindnarayan reprimands Titu for neglecting his academics. Later, Panchi expresses her feelings for Titu to Rachna. Panchi is heartbroken, seeing Titu flirting with Ruhi. Later, Panchi unwillingly gives Titu's phone number to Ruhi. Titu is heartbroken upon learning that Ruhi loves someone else. He refuses to believe Panchi but Ruhi turns up with her boyfriend. Govindnarayan asks Titu to leave Mathura when he goes home alone. Panchi decides to help Titu. Titu arranges a special treat for Panchi as a token of gratitude for her help. Meanwhile, Surekha tries to convince Govindnarayan to reconsider his decision regarding Titu and Panchi's marriage. Meanwhile, on marriage day Manorama learns about Titu's disappearance.

A dejected Panchi confronts Govindnarayan for concealing Titu's laziness and shares her miseries with him. Govindnarayan tries to prove Titu's innocence to Panchi.

Reception
It is regarded as the biggest fiction launch of 2014. It ruled the 8 pm prime time slot with 7.3 TVM on its launch day becoming highest opening of the year.
The show was earlier named as "Mera Nikhatoo" but it was changed at last minute to "Tu Mera Hero".
The show is set in Mathura of Uttar Pradesh. This show is a tribute to Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Shashi Mittal, co-founder and director of Shashi Sumeet Productions said, "DDLJ is the biggest ever celebration of love and I am an avid fan myself. We wanted to pay a tribute to this story in our own way." However, she clarified, "By no means is this a copy of the film, but is a story of a girl whose life is dominated by the spirit of the film." Sumeet Hukamchand Mittal, co-founder and director, said "This story will be a tale that everyone will be able to connect with."
Before and during the course of the show, 10 directors were changed in 5 months.
Mishap
The shoot of the show was disrupted after a fire broke out on the sets in Mira Road in December 2015 due to the air conditioner duct which got congested, because of which the fiber material caught fire. Luckily, none were injured.
