The episode of Kumkum Bhagya aired on August 15, 2024, begins with Harleen reflecting on her earlier misconceptions about Purvi. She admits to Dadi that she initially thought Purvi would be similar to Khushi, given that they are sisters. Harleen recalls how Khushi previously made false accusations against RV, damaging their family’s reputation. However, she acknowledges that Purvi has proven to be completely different. Harleen notes that despite having the opportunity to leave RV and ruin their reputation, Purvi has chosen not to take that path. Harleen criticizes herself for being harsh with Purvi, even though she witnessed Purvi’s integrity. Dadi agrees, expressing her frustration that she wants to be upset with Purvi but cannot because Purvi is genuinely a good person. Harleen praises Purvi for being an exemplary daughter-in-law, a conversation that RV overhears.
Meanwhile, Monisha and Jasbeer arrive at Neha’s house, demanding entry. Neha refuses, but they force their way in. Once inside, they pressure Neha to continue participating in their scheme. Neha, however, is hesitant and admits she is scared of Purvi. Monisha tries to reassure her, explaining that once Purvi divorces RV, they will manipulate the situation to make it appear as though Monisha will marry RV. Monisha plans to switch places with Neha at the right moment and marry RV herself, leaving Neha free from any further involvement. Despite these assurances, Neha remains resolute and insists she no longer wants any part in their plan. She forces Monisha and Jasbeer out of her home and locks the door behind them, refusing to let them re-enter.
In another part of the episode, Diya is seen talking with Soham while Purvi observes from a distance. Later, Purvi approaches Diya, asking if she is in love with Soham. Diya, in turn, questions Purvi about her feelings for RV. Purvi dismisses the idea, explaining that she could never love RV because of his many flaws. She describes RV as self-obsessed, workaholic, narcissistic, and miserly, noting that he doesn’t even call her. At that moment, Purvi receives a call from RV. Diya seizes the phone and tells RV everything Purvi just said about him. Embarrassed, Purvi takes the phone back and tries to downplay Diya’s comments. RV then mentions to Purvi that Harleen had been praising her, but before Purvi can learn more, their call is disconnected due to a poor network.
Later, Diya approaches Purvi again, noting that Purvi hasn’t smiled since Neha entered their lives. Purvi agrees but remains hopeful that things will soon improve. She speculates that Neha might be looking for a way to leave the city.
The tension continues to escalate when Neha overhears a heated argument between Purvi and Jasbeer. Realizing that aligning with them could lead to trouble, Neha decides to pack her bags and leave the city. Before she departs, she tells Jasbeer that things were fine until he started trying to control her. Jasbeer dismisses her concerns, while Monisha reveals her true motive: she wants to take revenge on Purvi. Jasbeer questions Monisha’s vendetta, to which Monisha responds that Purvi has taken everything that rightfully belongs to her.
The episode concludes with Neha determined to leave, setting the stage for more drama in the days to come.
Episode ends.
