A honeymoon revelation shakes Munni as Saloni suspects Dev’s motives. Nandini observes Karan’s clandestine late-night call. Noina’s blood cancer diagnosis is exposed as a fabrication for Mihir’s affection, now threatened by a blackmailer. Meanwhile, romantic entanglements and confrontations brew between Parth and Vaishnavi, and Bharti and Angad, leading to family disputes.

‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ opens with Munni and Saloni sharing a quiet moment after the honeymoon. Saloni tells Munni she has heard a lot about her from Tulsi kaki. She then opens up about something that has been bothering her: she overheard Dev telling a friend that he is the son-in-law of a diamond merchant, suggesting he is more interested in the family’s wealth than in building a life with her. Munni is taken aback. Saloni says she does not want to stress Tulsi with this and will handle it herself. Munni tells her Dev is lucky to have someone as composed as her by his side.

Karan’s midnight call

Late at night, Karan receives a call and slips out of the room quietly. Nandini lies awake and watches. On the call, Karan tells someone he cannot come to Malabar Hills tonight but will meet them tomorrow. He comes back to bed thinking everything looks normal. Nandini says nothing but registers every detail. She wonders what is waiting for him at Malabar Hills and why he is hiding it.

The truth about Noina

Munni hears Noina coughing in the night and goes to help her. She gives her medicine and tells her to rest. The moment Munni leaves the room, Noina throws the medicine away. The episode then reveals the truth in a flashback: Noina does not have blood cancer. The blood was caused by a stomach ulcer. The doctor gave her probiotic medicine, and her treatment is straightforward. When Noina saw Tulsi at the hospital, she seized the moment and constructed an elaborate lie, deciding to use Tulsi’s compassion against her to get Mihir back. Suchi went along with the plan exactly as Noina directed. Everything that has happened since, including Tulsi’s heartbreaking decision to ask Mihir to marry Noina, has been built on a deliberate deception. Noina lies in bed now, eagerly waiting for Tulsi to perform the gathbandhan that will make her Mihir’s wife.

A blackmailer enters the picture

The night takes a darker turn when Noina starts receiving calls from an unknown number. The caller tells her he knows she does not have blood cancer and threatens to expose her. He gives her one hour to decide how she wants to handle it and makes clear he wants money. Noina is shaken but has not yet been broken.

Parth and Vaishnavi

Parth asks Vaishnavi to stay a little longer, telling her it is late and he will drop her off at home. Vaishnavi tells him Mumbai is safe, and she does not need an escort. Parth asks her to stay forever. Vaishnavi asks him how that is possible. He tells her to let him find a good match for her. She asks about him. He tells her that friendship is always the first step toward love. She asks him directly if he is saying he loves her and tells him to stop creating confusion. The conversation ends without a clear answer, leaving both of them in an uncertain but charged space.

Bharti and Angad’s confrontation

Bharti finds Angad and doubles down on her confession from the night before. She tells him she knows exactly how he feels about her from the way he complimented her qualities. Angad tries to explain, but Bharti will not let him get a word in. She hugs him and leaves, convinced she has her answer. Angad stands there, wondering how to fix this, and decides he needs to talk to Vrinda immediately.Bharti goes to Kajri and tells her she likes Angad deeply. Kajri is shocked and warns her that if Mangal and Dada find out, there will be serious trouble. Mangal overhears and confronts Bharti directly. She tells him plainly that she loves Angad and will not marry him. Mangal raises his hand. Bharti stops him and tells him to stay away from her. Mangal tells her she will regret this. Kajri pulls Bharti aside and tells her she is moving too fast. Bharti tells her that nothing and no one can separate her from Angad.Angad goes to the factory to find Vrinda, but she is deep in preparation for an investor’s meeting, and her phone is unreachable. Ramesh blocks Angad from entering her cabin and tells him to make an appointment. Angad is irritated. Kajri pulls him away and asks him directly if he loves Bharti. Angad is about to answer when Dada calls him. Before anything can be resolved, Mangal appears and moves to hit Angad, telling him he is stealing Bharti from him.Precap: Tulsi plans a big surprise for Noina.
