Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, the Virani household reaches a boiling point as the fallout from the Mittal merger truth turns into a tactical battle between Tulsi and Riya.
The DNA Demand
Picking up from the weekend cliffhanger, Riya stands her ground in the middle of Shanti Niketan, clutching her stomach and claiming she is carrying Kabir’s child. While the family is in shock, Tulsi remains suspiciously calm. She agrees to accept Riya into the house on one condition: a prenatal DNA test. Riya feigns a panic attack, accusing Tulsi of being “inhumane” and questioning her character.
Savita Baa’s Health Crisis
The stress of the public scandal takes a toll on Savita Baa. She suffers a mild heart palpitation and is rushed to her room. In the chaos, Ansh takes the opportunity to whisper in Savita’s ear that Tulsi’s “stubbornness” is the reason the family is falling apart. For a moment, even Savita looks at Tulsi with doubt, marking a rare moment of friction between the two mentors.
Kabir’s Turning Point
Kabir, who was previously devastated, shows a new side of his personality. He stops Riya from touching his feet and looks her in the eye. He tells her, “If this child is mine, I will give my life for it. But if this is another Mittal business play, I will make sure you and your father lose everything.” This is the first time the audience sees the “Mihir Virani-esque” grit in the new-gen protagonist.
The Climax: The Secret Recording
The episode ends with Tulsi retiring to her room, only to be met by a servant who found a hidden microphone in the living room flower vase. Tulsi realizes that Riya isn’t just there to marry Kabir; she is there to record the family’s private vulnerabilities to use in a court case. The final shot is of Tulsi looking directly into the hidden camera and saying, “Welcome to Shanti Niketan, Riya. Let the real game begin.”
