On August 17th, 2024, a dramatic turn of events unfolded in the popular show Kumkum Bhagya. The episode begins with a light-hearted moment between Purvi and RV. While trying to grab RV’s phone, they both fall onto the bed. Yug, who happens to enter the room at that moment, sees them in this awkward situation and quickly exits, grinning to himself. Harleen, noticing Yug’s unusual expression, decides to investigate what caused it and heads towards RV’s room.
Meanwhile, tension is building elsewhere. Jasbeer, a man with a fierce determination, learns from one of his associates that Neha is planning to escape from the city. This news doesn’t sit well with Jasbeer. His associate inquires whether Monisha, another character, is involved in the matter. Jasbeer, frustrated with Monisha’s past failures, dismisses her efforts as ineffective. The associate then warns Jasbeer to be cautious, as Purvi and RV might grow closer if they aren’t careful. Angered by this suggestion, Jasbeer reacts violently, choking his associate and warning him to never speak out of turn again. Eventually, Jasbeer decides he will confront Neha, who he knows is deeply anxious about her upcoming marriage.
Neha, realizing that no one is keeping an eye on her, seizes the opportunity to escape the city. She believes this is her best chance to avoid the marriage that she dreads.
Back in RV’s room, after their playful tussle, RV plays an audio recording for Purvi, where she is heard praising him. Purvi, embarrassed, quickly deletes the recording. When she questions RV about his intentions, he casually mentions that he doesn’t need to keep the recording since he can hear her praises live. Purvi, with her characteristic wit, vows not to compliment him again, leading to a light exchange between the two. Their interaction is interrupted by Harleen, who enters the room, noticing how close the two have become. She sternly reminds them about the decorum of the household before leaving.
After Harleen’s departure, Purvi receives a call and abruptly leaves the room, ignoring RV’s question about her destination. Concerned, RV follows her from a distance. Purvi, on the other hand, meets with Neha and offers to help her escape the city. Initially reluctant, Neha eventually agrees and gets into the car with Purvi. During the drive, Purvi, in a gesture of goodwill, tells Neha that she is free to marry RV if she wants. However, Neha insists that she doesn’t want Purvi’s money or her husband, only the freedom to leave the city. Purvi then drops her off at the bus station.
As Neha boards the bus, she thanks Purvi for her help, while Purvi is left reflecting on the pain she has endured because of Neha. Shortly after, Purvi receives a call from Diya. She shares the relief she feels now that Neha is out of the picture, assuring Diya that RV is no longer in danger. Diya, happy to hear this, promises to share the good news with the rest of the family. As they speak, RV calls Purvi, and Diya encourages her to take the call.
When Purvi answers, RV asks her what she is doing outside the car. To her surprise, RV reveals that he is standing on the opposite side of the road. Overwhelmed with emotion, they run towards each other, and Purvi tearfully informs him that she has successfully sent Neha away. RV, grateful, thanks Purvi, and they share a heartfelt moment, wiping away each other’s tears. However, RV scolds Purvi for risking so much to ensure his safety, leading to a playful argument between the two.
As they prepare to head home to share the good news, a biker almost crashes into Purvi. RV swiftly pulls her to safety, and as they recover from the near-accident, Monisha spots them together. Despite RV’s anger at the biker, Purvi defends the biker, leading RV to storm off, feeling unimportant in her life. This leaves Purvi wondering if RV might be developing feelings for her.
Meanwhile, back at Neha’s place, Jasbeer arrives, furious to find the house empty and Neha’s phone disconnected. Realizing that she has indeed escaped, he vows to find her and teach her a lesson for defying him. He is determined to make Neha agree to marry RV, no matter what it takes.
