On August 16th, 2024, tensions rose in the popular Indian television series Kundali Bhagya as emotions ran high and relationships were tested. The episode began with Varun confessing to Kavya that he is single and that he loves only her. He tried to convince Kavya that someone was trying to frame him, but Kavya, not easily swayed, told him she didn’t want to discuss it and insisted that he take her to Preeta. Varun, realizing that Kavya might escape his grasp, was visibly troubled.
As the drama unfolded, Anshuman ordered Varun and his goons to kill Preeta. However, Varun kept it hidden from Anshuman that Preeta had already escaped. This led Datta to inform Anshuman about Preeta’s escape, prompting Anshuman to instruct Datta to take Preeta to his ice factory and eliminate her there. Datta then relayed the orders to the other goons, who began searching for Preeta.
Meanwhile, Rakhi, concerned about the recent developments, called Rajveer to inquire if everything was alright. She mentioned that Palki had asked about Preeta but left without explaining anything, which worried her. Rakhi urged Rajveer to find out what was troubling Palki. Rajveer assured her that he would speak with Palki and then disconnected the call. He tried to reach Palki, but she didn’t respond. At that moment, an employee informed Rajveer that he had a meeting scheduled, and that Karan was already waiting for him. Reluctantly, Rajveer followed the employee to the meeting.
In a desperate attempt to hide, Preeta tried to take refuge in the trunk of a car. However, Varun noticed her actions and instructed Kavya to stay in the car while he went to check the trunk. When he couldn’t find Preeta, he became more determined and eventually managed to catch up with her, making her unconscious. He then called Datta to report that Preeta had been captured. Datta and Bhanu quickly arrived at the scene and took Preeta away. Meanwhile, Kavya, concerned for Preeta, got out of the car and began searching for her in the warehouse.
On another front, Shaurya, clearly distressed, was seen drinking heavily. His friend Sandy urged him to go home instead of drowning his sorrows in alcohol. Shaurya, however, dismissed Sandy’s advice, stating that no one was waiting for him at home. His mind was preoccupied with the fact that Preeta had slapped him—a first for Shaurya, who had never been struck before. This incident filled him with anger towards Preeta. Shaurya also believed that Karan had changed his decisions because of Preeta, which only fueled his resentment further.
Sandy, trying to calm Shaurya down, mentioned that he saw genuine love for Preeta in Karan’s eyes. This statement only infuriated Shaurya, who scolded Sandy for speaking so highly of Karan. In a fit of rage, Shaurya even threatened to kill Sandy. The argument escalated, and Sandy, frustrated, told Shaurya that he no longer wanted to be his friend. He also stated that Shaurya did not deserve to become the CEO, which was why Karan had appointed Rajveer instead. At this point, Sunny intervened, trying to de-escalate the situation by reminding Sandy that Shaurya was drunk and not in his right mind.
Back at the office, Rajveer had just started the meeting when Karan noticed that Palki was repeatedly calling Rajveer. Concerned, Karan advised Rajveer to answer the call. Stepping outside, Rajveer finally answered, only to hear Palki’s distressed voice telling him about Preeta’s situation. She informed him that she was heading to the police station, but the call was abruptly cut off. Rajveer, now deeply worried, returned to Karan and explained that Preeta was missing. Without hesitation, Karan postponed the meeting and left with Rajveer to look for Preeta.
As the episode neared its end, Kavya, now fully aware of the danger, called Palki and narrated the entire sequence of events, including Varun’s role in Preeta’s kidnapping. However, before Kavya could say more, Varun snatched the phone from her and disconnected the call. This left Kavya in a state of shock, realizing that Varun had deceived her. On the other end, Palki, equally worried, began fearing the worst for Kavya and Preeta.
The episode concluded with tension hanging in the air as viewers were left wondering about the fates of Preeta, Kavya, and the fragile relationships that seemed on the brink of breaking.
