Pari Breaks About Gayatri Shockingly Emerges

Noina Apologizes Tulsi
Noina comes to meet Tulsi and apologizes saying she never meant to destroy her home or break her heart. She always considered Tulsi a friend and tried distancing herself but destiny brought them together. She admits she is wrong but says she fell in love and so did Mihir.
Tulsi calmly replies that Noina doesn’t need to apologize because to break something one must matter. It was Mihir who destroyed everything. When a third person enters a marriage people usually blame the outsider but Tulsi refuses to. She says Noina acted for herself but Mihir chose betrayal. Tulsi adds that as long as she exists around them people will keep coming to her with guilt and apologies and she refuses to live that life.

Angad Confronts Noina
Angad stops Noina and reminds her how Tulsi welcomed her, trusted her and she still destroyed everything. Naina says Angad cannot blame only her. Angad agrees if Tulsi hadn’t allowed Naina into their lives this wouldn’t have happened. He says Tulsi is strong and will rise again but Noina may never escape the guilt. Noina gets defensive and says people forget that she loved Mihir first before Tulsi so she is the first and Tulsi came later. Angad warns her not to disrespect Tulsi again and leaves.
Tulsi Letter Leaves Everyone Numb
Karan and Nandini wait a long time for Tulsi but she doesn’t return. Angad rushes inside and tells them Tulsi’s bag is gone. Karan then finds Tulsi’s letter where she writes that she is going far away and no one should look for her. She doesn’t know where she’s going but she knows she must leave. She wants a new life one built by her own strength even if it’s full of struggles. She knows they will feel hurt but she needs a new identity and a new purpose. To begin something new one must end what is old.
