The latest episodes of the popular Star Plus drama Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 delivered high-voltage drama, centered on a bold stand against the social evil of dowry and the continuing hidden connection between its central characters.
A Wedding Called Off Over Dowry Demands
The drama unfolded on the episode aired on December 25. Despite seeking blessings for Aarti's marriage at a temple, Tulsi's world is shaken when she discovers the groom's family has demanded dowry. Displaying immense strength and principle, Tulsi, supported by Aarti, makes the decisive move to call off the wedding immediately. She doesn't stop there; she sternly warns the groom's family about the legal consequences of their actions, even threatening to involve the police.
Unbeknownst to her, Mihir is present nearby, silently observing the entire incident. After the altercation, as the groom's family leaves, Mihir steps in to comfort Aarti and her family. He affirms that their decision to cancel the wedding was absolutely correct and they should have no regrets. Despite being in the same vicinity, fate continues to play its game, and Tulsi and Mihir remain unable to meet face-to-face. Aarti, grateful for Mihir's support, tries to introduce him to Tulsi, but by the time she turns around, Mihir has vanished.
Mitali's Theft and Ritik's Despair
The plot then shifts to another brewing conflict. Vaishnavi, who lives with Tulsi, is frantically searching for her precious design book. The culprit is revealed to be Mitali, who is seen sneaking away with the book. In her distress, Vaishnavi approaches Mihir for help. He promises to return the book if he finds it and even gives her his hotel access card as a gesture of assurance.
A flashback reveals how Mitali stole the book by pretending to pray. Ritik discovers her deceit and is utterly disgusted by her actions. Seeking space, he drives away and ends up at a temple, where he breaks down in prayer. In a moment of extreme anguish, Ritik calls himself a loser and pleads with God to end his life.
A Turning Point and a Glimmer of Hope
In a twist of fate, Tulsi is also at the same temple. Witnessing Ritik's profound distress, she sends one of her companions to offer him solace, specifically by giving him a laddoo. The simple act of eating the sweet provides Ritik with momentary comfort and triggers memories of his mother.
The preview for the December 26 episode hints at major developments.
