On August 20, 2024, the television series Yeh Hai Chahatein delivered another dramatic episode. The tension in the storyline reached a new height as Pradyumna confronted Mahima about her betrayal of Kaashvi. The scene begins with Pradyumna questioning Mahima’s actions. He was furious and demanded to know how she could deceive Kaashvi like that. Arjun, who was present, removed the veil of the groom, only to be shocked by the sight of an elderly man beneath it. Pradyumna, unable to contain his anger, slapped Mahima. His frustration was palpable as he demanded answers from her, questioning why she had chosen to deceive Kaashvi in such a cruel manner. Mahima, clearly remorseful, apologized to Pradyumna. However, her apology did little to quell his anger. He accused her of losing her sanity and even threatened to destroy her life if she continued on this path. Without further delay, Pradyumna took Kaashvi and left the scene, leaving Mahima to contemplate the consequences of her actions. She knew that if Pradyumna revealed the truth to Mahendra, her life would be in ruins.
Later in the episode, Kaashvi regains consciousness and finds herself in unfamiliar surroundings, dressed in an outfit she does not recognize. Confused, she asked Pradyumna what had happened. Kaashvi explained that she had gone with Mahima to save Chanchal’s life, but Pradyumna revealed the shocking truth to her. He told her that Mahima had lied to her and recounted everything that had transpired. Kaashvi was stunned when she looked at her reflection and saw her forehead. Pradyumna’s anger was still evident as he confessed that he would have killed Mahima if she were not Mahendra’s wife. Kaashvi, overwhelmed with disbelief, questioned how Mahima could have done such a thing to her. She was determined to confront Mahima and demand answers.
When Mahima entered the room, Pradyumna advised Kaashvi to speak with her before leaving them alone. Kaashvi did not hold back, immediately asking Mahima if she had ever considered the impact her actions would have on her own child. Mahima admitted that jealousy had driven her to madness. In a desperate move, she produced a bottle of poison and asked Kaashvi to end her life. Kaashvi, however, was more shocked by the depth of Mahima’s jealousy than her plea for death. Mahima, now visibly regretful, apologized to Kaashvi once again. Before they could say more, they heard Mahendra’s voice, prompting Kaashvi to declare that their relationship was over. She warned Mahima to change her ways, or else she would be the one to end her life. Mahima, still in shock, thanked Kaashvi before leaving the room.
Meanwhile, another subplot unfolds involving Karun and Meera. Karun, devastated by his recent failure in an exam, confides in Meera. Meera is equally surprised by the news, finding it hard to believe that Karun could fail. Nitya, however, knows the truth behind Karun’s failure. She recalls how she had bribed a school peon to switch Karun’s answer sheet. Feeling guilty, Karun expresses that he should have studied with Nitya instead and breaks down in tears. Nitya, trying to comfort him, insists that Meera was responsible for his failure, claiming that Meera deliberately taught him the wrong answers.
Arjun soon arrives and notices the commotion. Jagadish explains the situation to him, and Arjun, unable to believe what he is hearing, confronts Nitya. However, Karun, feeling protective of Nitya, asks Arjun not to scold her. He blames Meera for his failure and retreats to his room. Nitya, not missing a beat, compares Meera to a servant before walking away.
The following day, Pradyumna informs Mahendra of his decision to move back to his old house with Kaashvi. Mahendra tries to dissuade him by reminding him that the house is an old palace, but Pradyumna is adamant. He manages to convince Kaashvi to make the move as well. Meanwhile, Arjun tries to console Meera, advising her not to take Nitya’s words to heart. However, Meera cannot shake the feeling that something is wrong with Karun’s exam results.
Later, Arjun has a chance encounter with Ronak, who informs him that Kaashvi will be staying in Faridabad. As fate would have it, Kaashvi almost falls, but Arjun catches her just in time. The background music swells with the title song, underscoring the emotional moment. Pradyumna soon arrives, handing Arjun a piece of chocolate before taking Kaashvi away.
The episode concludes on a tense note. Nitya, in a fit of anger, scolds the peon, an exchange that Meera witnesses. As the episode closes, Kaashvi is seen moving into Pradyumna’s palace, marking the beginning of yet another chapter in this ongoing drama.
Episode ends.
