On August 19th, 2024, the episode of Kumkum Bhagya opens with RV waking up from sleep, only to notice Purvi sleeping peacefully beside him. The clock reads 10 am, which surprises RV, making him realize he overslept. He gently moves to shield Purvi from the disturbing sun rays by sitting in a way that blocks the light from reaching her face. As he watches her sleep, memories flood his mind, especially his warning to Khushi and the way he had treated Purvi. Guilt weighs on him as he recalls how he had troubled her, especially the incident where he reduced the AC temperature just to make her uncomfortable.
As RV tries to leave the room quietly, he is surprised to find Vicky standing in front of him. Meanwhile, elsewhere, Deepika tries to get in touch with Monisha by phone. Monisha, annoyed by the continuous calls, eventually picks up and asks why Deepika is so persistent. Deepika informs Monisha about Anmol’s party, which is being organized for RV. She mentions how Purvi had played a crucial role in resolving RV’s problems. Hearing this, Monisha smiles, but the conversation takes a quick turn as Harleen enters the scene. Deepika, seeing Harleen, immediately changes the topic, and when asked about Harleen’s phone, she claims not to have seen it.
RV later confesses to Dada Ji and Vicky that he feels unworthy of Purvi. He expresses deep regret for troubling her, particularly by lowering the AC’s temperature. Dada Ji and Vicky, in a lighter mood, tease him, which makes RV leave the room with a heavy heart. However, Dada Ji and Vicky have a brief conversation afterward, where they agree that RV and Purvi make the perfect couple.
The scene shifts as RV and his family prepare to attend Anmol’s party. The family indulges in playful banter, adding a light-hearted atmosphere to the preparations. Harleen, noticing the time, urges everyone to hurry as they are getting late. Harman, taking charge, decides which car they should take to the party. Monisha arrives just then, and Deepika quickly points out that all their cars are full, suggesting Monisha should accompany RV instead. Monisha, though slightly taken aback, agrees.
As they prepare to leave, RV notices that Purvi hasn’t joined them yet. When she finally arrives, RV can’t help but smile at the sight of her. He heads to get his car keys, and while he’s away, Yug compliments Purvi in front of Monisha. When RV returns, he asks Monisha to sit in the backseat, which annoys her, but she complies and sits next to Yug. RV then offers Purvi the front seat, which she accepts with a smile, clearly pleased by RV’s gesture. Monisha, sitting in the back, silently vows that Purvi’s happiness will be short-lived.
At the party, the tension continues to build as Riya approaches Harleen, asking for forgiveness for previously misunderstanding RV. However, Harleen, still hurt, chastises Riya, reminding her of the harsh statements she made against RV in the news. Riya, feeling embarrassed, leaves, and Harman can’t resist making a sarcastic comment about society’s judgmental nature. Anmol, noticing the situation, tries to lighten the mood by telling Harman that the party is inclusive of all types of people and asks him to tolerate them for his sake. Harman reluctantly agrees.
As the event progresses, the media arrives and requests a family photo of RV’s family. Harman agrees, but the reporter points out that the most important persons—RV and his wife—are not present yet. Dada Ji reassures them, saying they will arrive soon and make a special entrance.
Meanwhile, Soham brings Diya to the party, but she feels out of place, not knowing anyone there. Soham tries to comfort her, explaining that the party is organized by Anmol for RV. As RV drives up to the venue, he stops the car upon seeing Diya. Purvi is delighted to see her, and the two women exchange warm greetings. RV joins them after parking the car and asks if they are ready to head inside. Purvi agrees, and they all move toward the entrance together.
As they walk, Purvi’s bracelet gets caught on RV’s watch, leading to a playful moment between them. Purvi makes a light-hearted comment about the situation, trying to free her bracelet. RV teases her in return, and when Purvi calls him “Alien types,” RV responds by saying that’s the reason he’s with her. Both share a smile, enjoying the brief moment of joy. However, Monisha, watching from a distance, feels a pang of jealousy as she witnesses their bond.
The episode ends on this note, leaving viewers with a mix of emotions—from RV’s guilt and regret to the subtle yet growing tensions among the characters. The party, meant to be a celebration, seems to be setting the stage for more conflicts and revelations in the days to come.
Episode ends.
