On August 21, 2024, the episode of Yeh Hai Chahatein began with a tense scene involving Meera and Karun’s teacher. Meera, skeptical about Karun’s failure in his exam, requested to see his answer sheet. Upon examining it, she was shocked to find that the handwriting didn’t match Karun’s. When she pointed this out to the teacher, she was equally puzzled. To verify the suspicion, the teacher handed over Karun’s English notebook to Meera, who confirmed that the handwriting on the answer sheet was indeed different from Karun’s usual writing. This raised a critical question: who had switched the answer sheets?
Meera, determined to get to the bottom of this, inquired further and learned that the school peon had brought the answer sheets to the teacher’s room. Sensing something amiss, Meera requested the teacher to summon the peon for questioning.
Meanwhile, a parallel storyline unfolded with Kaashvi and Pradyumna. Kaashvi admired Pradyumna’s house, remarking on its heritage-like appearance. As they navigated through the house, Kaashvi accidentally bumped into the housekeeper, Swati. Pradyumna introduced Swati, who then informed them that the room was ready. Pradyumna led Kaashvi to her room, revealing a hidden door connecting their rooms. Kaashvi thanked him, noticing a change in his behavior, which she quietly appreciated.
Back at the school, the peon was brought in for questioning. When asked about the answer sheets, the peon defended himself, claiming he couldn’t read, so he had no reason to tamper with the sheets. However, Meera noticed something unusual: the peon was wearing an expensive watch, which didn’t seem to match his position at the school. Sensing that there was more to the story, Meera pressed the peon further, leading him to nervously admit that he had switched the answer sheets under someone else’s instructions.
In another part of the house, Kaashvi had a brief confrontation with Swati. Swati had warned her not to touch certain things, referring to them as “Malkin’s” belongings. When Kaashvi asked who Malkin was, Swati hastily corrected herself, saying she meant “Malik.” Kaashvi shared this strange encounter with Pradyumna, who then insisted that Swati apologize to Kaashvi.
The situation at the school took a dramatic turn when the peon, in a state of panic, rushed to Nitya to inform her that the school management was suspicious of him. Nitya, trying to calm the situation, offered to double his payment to keep him quiet. However, before they could devise a plan, Meera and the teacher appeared, catching them red-handed. Nitya, realizing she had been caught, slapped the peon, pretending that he was falsely accusing her. But Meera was not fooled. She confronted Nitya directly, expressing her disbelief that Nitya could do something so deceitful to Karun. Nitya tried to defend herself, claiming that it was all a trap set by Meera. The teacher, however, was not convinced and scolded Nitya for jeopardizing Karun’s future over personal family issues. The teacher then escorted the peon to the principal’s office, leaving Nitya exposed.
Nitya, realizing the gravity of the situation, quickly shifted her strategy. She put on a show of fake tears, apologizing to Meera, and admitted to feeling insecure about Karun spending more time with Meera. She pleaded with Meera not to disclose the incident to Karun and Arjun, to which Meera reluctantly agreed. But in her mind, Nitya knew that Meera had not fully won the battle.
Later that day, Arjun received a call from Karun’s school. His face lit up with happiness as he shared the news with his family that Karun had passed his exam. Karun, overhearing this, was overjoyed and immediately apologized to Meera for doubting her earlier. The atmosphere in the house lightened as Karun expressed his desire to sleep in the same room as Arjun and Meera that night. Arjun, though still processing everything that had happened, was relieved to see Karun happy again.
The episode concluded on this hopeful note, though it was clear that the tension was far from over. The precap hinted at more drama to come, with Kaashvi learning about Pradyumna’s ex-wife’s death post-divorce, leading to a confrontation between them.
This incident, which took place on August 21, 2024, is likely to have significant repercussions in the coming episodes as the characters grapple with the consequences of Nitya’s actions and the underlying tensions between Kaashvi and Pradyumna.
Episode ends.
