On September 13th, 2024, the episode of Mera Balam Thanedaar aired, bringing in a lot of tension and drama. The episode begins with Miti Mai telling Veer that Bulbul will come to see her that day. She explains that Veer’s loud outbursts from the previous day were all attempts to gain Bulbul’s attention, which had been disturbing her. Miti Mai goes on to threaten Veer, warning him that Bulbul’s life is in danger. Veer, understanding the gravity of the situation, pretends to beg Miti Mai to spare Bulbul’s life. While acting out his desperation, he cleverly attaches a piece of his bracelet to Miti Mai’s saree, hoping that Bulbul would notice it as a hint.
Meanwhile, Bulbul, unaware of the complexities ahead, waits eagerly to meet Miti Mai. Her mind is set on uncovering the truth. As Miti Mai moves, one of her servants loses his balance and stumbles, causing Bulbul to fall at Miti Mai’s feet. It is then that Bulbul notices the bracelet piece on Miti Mai’s saree, which instantly sparks her suspicion. Bulbul recalls how Veer had called her the day before and begins to piece together the puzzle, realizing that Miti Mai may have betrayed her trust. Overcome with anger and frustration, Bulbul grabs Miti Mai by the neck and demands to know Veer’s whereabouts. She confronts her, pointing out that she made Veer wear the bracelet, and now she’s found it on Miti Mai. Bulbul’s demand for answers becomes more intense as she insists Miti Mai reveal the truth.
The servants rush in, alarmed by Bulbul’s actions, but Miti Mai stops them, assuring them that Bulbul isn’t actually harming her, only questioning her. Bulbul remains firm, insisting that Miti Mai disclose Veer’s location. Miti Mai, realizing she can’t evade the question any longer, admits that Veer is indeed there. She recounts that she found Veer on her way, badly wounded. Bulbul, both relieved and confused, asks why Miti Mai didn’t inform her earlier. Miti Mai lies, saying that Veer didn’t want to meet Bulbul because he was on a secret mission and didn’t want her to get hurt. Bulbul, though doubtful, expresses her wish to see Veer.
In response, Miti Mai arranges for someone who looks like Veer to meet Bulbul. The look-alike arrives, and Bulbul, filled with emotion, hugs him. However, during the embrace, she feels something odd and begins to suspect that something is wrong. She recalls a story that Sulakshana once told her about Jalandhar, who had disguised himself as Mahadev to deceive Parvathi. Parvathi, however, recognized the truth by the feel of his touch, realizing that he wasn’t her husband, Mahadev. Drawing a parallel from this story, Bulbul decides that she needs to uncover the truth and resolves to pretend that she believes the impersonator is the real Veer.
To test the imposter, Bulbul casually asks why he hasn’t met the family yet. The fake Veer responds that he didn’t want to worry them. The conversation continues, and Bulbul notes that he tries to hold her hand, but she quickly pulls away. Bulbul then teases him, asking when he learned to romance like her favorite actor, Shahrukh Khan. The imposter, however, mistakenly believes her favorite actor is Karthik Aryan, prompting Bulbul to play along and claim that she recently became a fan of Shahrukh Khan after watching one of his movies. Despite the slight slip, the imposter’s manner of speaking reminds Bulbul of the real Veer, but her doubts persist. She continues to call him “Veer” and notices that he reacts differently from the way the real Veer would, especially when she refers to him as “Thanedar,” a nickname she usually uses. She realizes that his reactions are not what she expected, deepening her suspicion.
In a bid to further test him, Bulbul mentions a promposal party where Veer had gifted her earrings. The imposter’s response is dismissive, saying he was too tense to notice, which confirms Bulbul’s belief that this man is not her Veer. Determined to find out where the real Veer is, Bulbul gets an idea. She thanks Miti Mai for arranging the meeting and expresses how much she missed Veer. She then offers to cook Prasad for everyone in the ashram, which Miti Mai permits, unaware that Bulbul is now fully committed to uncovering the truth behind this deception.
The episode concludes on this tense note, leaving viewers eager to see how Bulbul will navigate this web of lies and discover the real Veer’s whereabouts.
