On August 18th, 2024, tensions reached a new high in the ongoing drama of Kundali Bhagya. The episode began with a shocking incident where Sanjana slapped Kavya. This unexpected act left Kavya in tears. Sanjana, not stopping at just the slap, issued a stern warning to Kavya, telling her not to scream because Preeta, a beloved character, was still alive. The scene was intense as Kavya, who is known for her innocence and kind heart, was caught in a difficult situation. Varun, the antagonist in this scenario, stepped in, asking Sanjana to refrain from such actions, especially on his marriage day. He then apologized to Kavya on behalf of Sanjana, trying to calm the situation.
Kavya, deeply concerned, questioned Varun about Preeta’s unconscious state. In response, Varun assured Kavya that Preeta was indeed alive and would not die. However, Kavya was not easily pacified. She pleaded with Varun to release Preeta, expressing her inability to live if something terrible happened to her. The scene was emotionally charged, with Kavya breaking down in tears. Varun, attempting to console her, asked her not to cry, declaring that he would do anything for her. To prove his sincerity, he promised to let her meet Preeta and promptly ordered his goons to bring Preeta before her.
Meanwhile, in the Luthra household, Dadi expressed her need for Palki to help her with some exercises. Rakhi, concerned for Dadi, decided to call Palki and check on her. As she went inside to retrieve her phone, a brief exchange occurred between Gurpreet and Kareena. Gurpreet, sensing tension, asked Kareena if she was angry with her. Kareena, in her usual stern manner, simply replied that she didn’t like people like Gurpreet.
Rakhi returned with her phone and called Palki. She inquired if everything was alright, but Palki hesitated before answering. At that moment, Karan and Rajveer arrived, with Rajveer immediately asking about Preeta’s whereabouts. Sensing the gravity of the situation, Palki put the phone on speaker and narrated the events to Rakhi. She explained how Kavya was no longer answering her calls, which alarmed everyone. Rakhi, now aware of the severity of the situation, informed Kareena and suggested that they lodge a complaint with the police. Without wasting any time, she left to take action.
Back at Varun’s location, he fulfilled his promise to Kavya by showing her Preeta. However, the sight that met Kavya’s eyes was horrifying. Preeta was inside a glass container, unconscious and vulnerable. The emotional turmoil Kavya felt was palpable as she ran towards the container, desperately trying to wake Preeta. She assured Preeta that she would protect her and not let anything happen to her. But Varun coldly informed Kavya that the glass was soundproof, preventing Preeta from hearing her. Kavya, in a moment of despair, questioned Varun’s actions. She expressed her disappointment, saying she had trusted and loved him deeply, only to have that trust shattered.
Varun, on the other hand, revealed his own frustrations. He admitted that he had believed Kavya would always support him, but she had instead trusted Palki and Preeta over him. He then narrated how the Luthras had insulted him, making it clear that it was now his turn to act. With a sense of cold determination, he ordered Kavya to comply with his demands if she wanted to prevent Preeta from suffering. His first order was for her to sit on the marriage mandap, signaling his intention to force her into marriage.
At the Luthra house, another subplot unfolded as Sunny brought a heavily intoxicated Shaurya home. Shaurya, concerned about his grandmother Rakhi finding out about his condition, asked Girish to keep it a secret. Girish, however, informed him that Rakhi was not home, which slightly relieved Shaurya. But the relief was short-lived as Girish dropped a bombshell by informing him about Preeta’s kidnapping. Shocked by the news, Shaurya tried to contact Kavya, but there was no response. As the situation escalated, Nidhi stepped in and took Shaurya inside, away from the growing chaos.
Back at Varun’s place, the tension between Kavya and Varun reached a boiling point. Kavya confronted Varun, accusing him of being driven solely by revenge. Varun did not deny it. In a desperate attempt to reason with him, Kavya apologized on behalf of the Luthra family and begged him to let go of the past. However, Varun was unmoved. He harshly told her to stop talking, asserting that her apology meant nothing to him. He made it clear that he would decide the course of events, not her. Kavya, still pleading, asked him once again to release Preeta. But Varun, now fully embracing his role as the villain, threatened to kill Preeta if Kavya refused to obey him.
The episode ended on this ominous note, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats. The fate of Preeta hung in the balance, and Kavya was left with no choice but to comply with Varun’s demands to save her loved one. The events of August 18th, 2024, marked a significant turning point in the series, setting the stage for what promises to be a dramatic and intense storyline in the episodes to come.
Episode ends.
