Today’s episode begins with Gautam watching CCTV footage and recording CDs. He murmurs to himself that he never imagined earning money would require torturing himself this much. He keeps checking who is coming and going. While watching one particular video he senses that something is wrong.
Just then the doorbell rings. Gautam opens the door and is shocked to see Tulsi standing there. He taunts Tulsi lightly saying she may have taken a wrong turn. He says this is not a karan home. Tulsi calmly replies that she knows it is his house.
Gautam accuses her of coming again to lecture him and calls her effort pointless. Tulsi firmly says no effort is ever wasted and one must keep trying. She reminds him that even in illegal cases truth may lose temporarily but in the end lies never win because truth stands with someone who keeps fighting.
Tulsi notices how messy Gautam’s room is and starts cleaning it. She scolds him for keeping documents scattered carelessly. In Gautam’s laptop a video of Mihir and Noina is playing. Before Tulsi can notice Gautam without knowing shuts it and angrily asks her to stop acting like his mother. He says reality feels bitter and that is why everything seems fake to him. He asks her why she has come here . Gautam mocks her saying Shobha must have sent her because she thinks Gautam is lonely. He adds that loneliness is addictive and once you get used to it people start irritating others. He asks Tulsi to stop bothering him in the name of concern.
Tulsi replies that as long as she is alive she will continue to worry about him. She says she never discriminated between her children and loved them all equally. If she unknowingly made a mistake she asks for forgiveness. She wants Gautam to live happily with his wife, children and family. Gautam coldly says it’s not possible anymore. Time has passed and life will remain as it is. He asks Tulsi to step back and stop thinking about him the way she didn’t think about him when she didn’t even know how he was surviving in Mumbai. He says his work is everything now and distractions may cost him his case.
Tulsi refuses to give up. Tulsi replies that she will continue to worry and keeps trying even contacting him through Shobha. She reminds him that he has always been stubborn but she is his mother and will do what a mother must. Tulsi gives him some dhokhla to eat and Gautam gets emotional while opening it.
Counselling Day Tension Between Tulsi and Mihir
The next day Tulsi arrives for counselling and sees Mihir with Noina. Mihir asks what Noina is doing there. Noina says she is giving him emotional support. Mihir says support without asking often feels like pressure. He asks why she has come when the counselling is between him and Tulsi.
Noina explains that counselling sessions are emotionally and mentally exhausting so she came to support him. Mihir insists she cannot enter the counselling room. Noina agrees to wait outside. Before Mihir goes in Noina follows Tulsi and asks to speak privately.
She bluntly says it’s natural that Tulsi and she don’t like each other because their relationship itself is complicated. Tulsi responds clearly that there is no relationship between them and that she is here only to discuss her marriage with Mihir. Noina opens up emotionally. She says the man she loved married someone else and fate brought her face-to-face with her first love again. She reveals that six years ago she left Shantiniketan her home and family, but she made one mistake she did not divorce Mihir then. Because of that she remained the other woman in society’s eyes despite suffering silently and waiting for Mihir with hope.
She admits she knows Tulsi no longer loves Mihir but asks Tulsi to end the marriage officially. She pleads that if Tulsi considers her life like a kite then the string is now in Tulsi’s hands. Tulsi responds firmly. She says Noina misunderstood if she thinks Tulsi controls the relationship. The bond between Tulsi and Mihir depends only on them. Tulsi makes it clear she will take decisions based on what she feels is right for herself not for Mihir or Noina. She walks away leaving Noina frustrated.
Tulsi Decided To End MarriageÂ
The counselling begins. The counsellor explains that Mihir and Tulsi share a 44-year-long relationship but have lived separately for six years without divorce. She asks what went wrong after so many years of shared joys, pain, and memories.
Both Mihir and Tulsi recall their past and become emotional. The counsellor notices this and says emotions are still present. She explains the purpose of counselling is to see whether the relationship can be repaired. She asks them to start positively and list five good qualities about each other. Mihir smiles sadly and says five is difficult because if he starts praising Tulsi it may never end. He says Tulsi is exactly like her name she absorbs everyone’s pain and always helps others.
Tulsi interrupts him and shocks by saying if the relationship is not meant to be saved then what is the point of counselling? She reveals that although she earlier told the court she wanted reconciliation she now wants to withdraw that statement and proceed with divorce. The counsellor asks why she changed her decision. Tulsi says earlier she never thought about herself but now she is. If the marriage no longer exists there is nothing left to save.
The counsellor confirms if Tulsi is under pressure. Tulsi denies it. Mihir says if Tulsi has decided he agrees too. The counsellor says she will submit the report and proceed with divorce formalities. Mihir tries to speak to Tulsi but she stops him and says he has lived under the same roof with Noina for six years after divorce at least he should marry her. Tulsi walks away.
The counselor tells Noina that both have agreed to the divorce which relieves and comforts her. She asks Tulsi and Tulsi confirms that this was her intention then leaves. Noina reassures Mihir that it was the right decision but Mihir clarifies it was Tulsi’s choice.
Tulsi Confronts Angad
Meanwhile Angad asks Tulsi whether Mihir agreed to the divorce. Tulsi replies that he has been with Noina for six years and the divorce is just a formality to allow them to marry legally. She explains that Mihir cannot oppose this because it aligns with justice. Angad frustrated, heads to the kitchen where Ranvijay signals him and calls to meet . Angad lies to Vrinda and Tulsi to go meet Ranvijay.
Ranvijay says he was thrown out of Shantiniketan. Angad tells him to stop nonsense. Angad criticizes Ranvijay for being spineless and forgetting what he did with Vrinda. Ranvijay says he should thank him as he helps Angad to reunite with Mihir’s otherwise he would have been isolated forever. he reflects that it is time for them to unite and tackle the situation strategically. He plans to deal with Hrithik first by destroying him.
Before Angad can reply Tulsi and Vrinda arrive. Tulsi confronts Angad asking how he could plan against his own family with someone who tortured his sister and betrayed them all. She exposes Ranvijay’s manipulation and declares she will never live under the same roof with angad.
Tulsi begins packing her bags. Vrinda tries to stop her but Tulsi says she has no complaints she just cannot stay after seeing Angad betray the family. She questions her upbringing suddenly Hrithik arrives and hugs Angad. m
Angad explains that everything was part of a plan that began the day Hrithik attempted suicide. In flashback Angad had called Hrithik scolding him for taking such a drastic step without thinking about his family. Hrithik had felt defeated in life and helpless as Ranvijay was slowly ruining the business.
Angad decided to handle Ranvijay strategically. He visited Shantiniketan and staged a fake fight with Hrithik so that Ranvijay would believe they were divided. Their plan worked. Ranvijay approached Angad for alliance.just as they wanted. Tulsi is stunned to learn the truth.
Precap: Gautam tells Mihir that he has something important to reveal the truth about Nandini. Mihir later informs Tulsi that six years ago nothing happened between him and Nandini that night. He now has proof that he never betrayed her.
What will Tulsi’s decision be after learning the truth?
