The *Yeh Hai Chahatein* episode aired on August 12, 2024, brought viewers more twists and turns, adding to the ongoing tension between the characters. The episode begins with a partner swap, where Kaashvi ends up paired with Arjun, and Mahima becomes Pradyumna’s partner. Mahima takes the opportunity to taunt Pradyumna about his wife, questioning how he plans to explain Kaashvi’s pregnancy to her. Pradyumna, unfazed by Mahima’s provocations, retorts that he doesn’t need to explain anything. Mahima, not one to back down, continues probing, asking if Pradyumna’s wife is not rich and powerful, implying that she married him for these reasons.
As the conversation shifts, Pradyumna sarcastically reminds Mahima that she herself married his uncle for wealth and influence. Mahima, in an attempt to get under Pradyumna’s skin, questions whether Kaashvi is truly pregnant with his child. Meanwhile, Arjun, now paired with Kaashvi, confronts her about her recent trip to Delhi and the subsequent pregnancy news. Kaashvi, maintaining her composure, asserts her independence, claiming she can choose whoever she wants as her life partner. The exchange turns bitter as they taunt each other about their respective choices of partners, with Arjun choosing Meera and Kaashvi choosing Pradyumna.
Kaashvi, clearly frustrated, ends the conversation by stating that she is not pregnant with Arjun’s child, and if he wants a child, he should ask his wife. She leaves the scene, and Pradyumna follows her. The drama continues to escalate as Kaashvi meets Ronak in the parking area. He asks if she has uncovered any new information about Pradyumna or the bomb blast incident. Kaashvi reveals that she hasn’t learned anything new but has managed to win Pradyumna’s trust, which she believes is crucial. Just as they are talking, Pradyumna arrives, prompting Kaashvi to cover up their conversation by praising Pradyumna as a trustworthy business partner. Pradyumna agrees, emphasizing the importance of trust in business, and they leave together.
The next day, the story shifts focus to Meera’s home, where Nisha, a friend of Meera, brings her father, Mr. Rastogi, to the house. Mr. Rastogi informs Arjun that he has spoken to the principal about Karun and managed to convince everyone. Arjun expresses his gratitude to Mr. Rastogi. Shortly after, Nitya arrives with Karun, revealing that she has secured admission for Karun in a new school. Mr. Rastogi is visibly upset by this news and scolds Meera, who apologizes and insists she wasn’t aware of the situation. As Mr. Rastogi and Nisha leave, Nitya inwardly revels in her success, recalling how she had overheard Meera discussing Karun’s school admission with Nisha and decided to sabotage it to humiliate Meera.
Arjun, perplexed by the turn of events, questions Nitya about why she didn’t inform anyone about Karun’s admission. Nitya defensively asks what was wrong with enrolling Karun in a reputable school, to which Arjun reluctantly apologizes to Meera. Meera, trying to keep the peace, assures him that it’s okay. Meanwhile, Kaashvi, ever suspicious of Pradyumna, begins searching his room. She discovers an extra phone, which is locked, fueling her suspicions even further.
As the day progresses, Arjun advises Karun not to cause trouble at his new school. Nitya takes Karun to school, while Arjun learns that Meera has a medical check-up and offers to accompany her. At the same time, Kaashvi finds out that her doctor’s appointment has been moved up, and Pradyumna offers to drive her to the hospital.
At Karun’s new school, things take a turn for the worse when his classmates begin teasing him. The teacher introduces Karun to the class, but it’s clear that his first day is not going well. Meanwhile, at the hospital, the doctor advises Meera to stay positive. Kaashvi and Pradyumna arrive at the same hospital, setting the stage for potential confrontations.
As the episode nears its conclusion, Karun is seen crying, expressing his reluctance to return to the new school. The tension between Kaashvi and Arjun escalates further when Arjun tells Kaashvi that he plans to do a DNA test once the baby is born, raising the stakes in their ongoing conflict. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with Kaashvi finding a mysterious figure in a hoodie in Pradyumna’s room, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating the next episode to see how these intertwined storylines will unfold.
The drama continues to build as secrets, lies, and misunderstandings threaten to unravel the lives of these characters, keeping viewers hooked on every twist and turn.
