Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2: Mihir’s guilt deepens as Tulsi’s faith stays firm

The episode opens on an emotional note as Mihir admits to Tulsi that saying thank you feels too small after everything she did for him. Her decision to take the blame and go to jail during the fraud investigation weighs heavily on him. Tulsi keeps her reply simple. She tells him that his safety is her only priority and that she would take any risk if it protects him.

Mihir listens, but the guilt overwhelms him. He steps into the washroom and breaks down. The moment underlines how deeply the recent events and past mistakes continue to disturb him. Later that night, Tulsi struggles to sleep. Noina’s maid’s gossip about an affair between Mihir and Noina keeps replaying in her mind. She tries to dismiss the thought, but the unease lingers.

Tulsi overhears Mihir’s midnight call

While Tulsi lies awake, Mihir’s phone rings. Believing she is asleep, he leaves the room to take the call. Tulsi follows him quietly and hears everything.

On the call, Suchitra tells Mihir that she is worried about Noina. Mihir responds sharply, saying he has cut all ties with Noina’s personal life. Suchitra then reveals that Noina has gone to meet Raman at a restaurant and asks Mihir to go there.

Tulsi watches him return to the bedroom to pick up his wallet. When she asks where he is heading at this hour, Mihir lies and says Hemant called him for urgent work. Tulsi doesn’t say anything, but her suspicion grows.

A tense scene unfolds at the restaurant

At the restaurant, the situation between Noina and Raman escalates. Noina accuses him of hiring someone to investigate her past. She tells him he should have spoken to her directly, because she would have told him the truth—that she is in love with someone else, a married man who will never be hers.

Raman loses control and raises his hand to hit her. Mihir arrives at that moment, stops him, and slaps Raman. He orders him to leave immediately. A shaken Noina hugs Mihir tightly. Angad, who works there as a waiter, witnesses the entire moment. Worried and confused, he steps aside and calls Tulsi. He tells her that Mihir and Noina are together at the restaurant.

Noina’s confession and Mihir’s firm response

Mihir steps out with Noina to drop her home. He tries to calm her, but she lashes out, saying she never asked him to come. She questions why he keeps appearing in her life like a protector. Mihir says he is only helping her as a friend.

Noina pushes back, reminding him of the night they spent together and insisting they crossed the line long ago. Mihir replies that he knows there is nothing between them and that he is helping her only out of humanity. He warns her to stay away from Raman, telling her that he is not the man she thinks he is. Noina listens quietly for a moment, then asks the question she has avoided for long: will she ever have a place in his life?

Mihir answers without hesitation. He says they can never be together because his heart belongs to Tulsi. Noina is stunned. She reminds him that he once claimed he no longer loved Tulsi. Mihir clarifies that he never said that—he only said he did not deserve Tulsi’s love. Hurt, Noina tells him to leave. She says that if he cannot stand by her, she must eventually marry someone else. She cannot spend her life waiting for a man who will never return her feelings.
