The episode of Kundali Bhagya aired on August 23, 2024, begins with a tense confrontation. Varun, filled with resentment, confronts the Luthras, reminding them of the insults they had once hurled at him. His anger is palpable, and he warns them not to underestimate him. In a desperate attempt to save her mother, Kavya agrees to marry Varun, hoping he will release Preeta. However, Varun coldly informs Kavya that Preeta remains his pawn, locked in a glass container. He assures her that Preeta won’t die if Kavya agrees to the marriage, but he ominously hints that any delay could result in her mother’s death.
Meanwhile, Aarohi, curious about Nidhi’s fear, questions her about the names Sherlyn and Prithvi. Nidhi reveals that these two are dangerous individuals who once betrayed the Luthras, leading them to flee the city. She expresses concern that if Varun is out for revenge for his parents, the Luthras might face dire consequences. Anshuman, who is present during this exchange, clarifies that Roma, mentioned earlier, is Varun’s doctor.
In another part of the house, Mahesh anxiously informs Shaurya that no one is answering their calls. Shaurya, suspecting foul play, interprets a text message from Rakhi as a sign that she is in danger. Sunny, trying to make sense of the situation, asks who the Luthras’ enemy could be. Shaurya immediately suspects Anshuman’s involvement.
As tensions rise, Karan pleads with Varun, offering to do anything in exchange for Preeta’s release. However, Varun, now in control, scoffs at Karan’s desperation, reminding him that he is in no position to negotiate. Varun accuses Karan and Preeta of causing his family’s downfall, leaving the Luthras confused by his accusations.
Varun’s rage escalates as he reveals the key to the glass container holding Preeta, taunting the Luthras by pretending to throw it away. Karan, desperate to end the ordeal, begs Varun to stop, but Varun, feeling justified in his actions, throws the key out of the room. The Luthras rush outside in a frantic search for the key.
Meanwhile, Nidhi, growing increasingly anxious, asks Anshuman why Varun isn’t answering his calls. Anshuman, seemingly unconcerned, suggests that Varun is busy executing his plan. He also expresses disbelief at Nidhi’s apparent concern for Karan. In a rare moment of vulnerability, Nidhi shares her past with Anshuman, revealing that she has never received the recognition she deserved. Her bitterness is evident as she coldly declares that she doesn’t care if Kavya marries Varun or anyone else, as long as Preeta is out of the picture.
Shaurya and Mahesh, still searching for answers, stumble upon Nidhi and Anshuman together. Shaurya, suspicious of their motives, demands to know where Kavya is. Anshuman, feigning ignorance, lies, claiming that even Nidhi has been asking him about Kavya’s whereabouts.
As the Luthras and Palki continue their desperate search for the key, Varun instructs his henchmen, Bhanu and Datta, to kidnap Palki and Rakhi and lock them in a cold storage room. The henchmen carry out Varun’s orders, leaving the Luthras in even greater distress. In a stroke of luck, Kavya finally finds the key, and the Luthras rush back inside, only to witness Kareena spotting the goons as they kidnap Rakhi.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger, leaving viewers anxious about the fate of Preeta, Kavya, and the rest of the Luthra family. The tension between Varun and the Luthras has reached a boiling point, with Varun’s thirst for revenge driving him to increasingly dangerous lengths. Kavya’s decision to marry Varun, in a bid to save her mother, adds another layer of complexity to the unfolding drama. As the Luthras struggle to find a way out of this dire situation, the stakes continue to rise, promising more twists and turns in the episodes to come.
