Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2: Noina’s decision to marry Raman leaves Mihir shocked

The day unfolds at Shanti Niketan: Vallabh Bhai arrives, diving into office matters with Mihir. Just as the discussion wraps, a call interrupts—Suchu, Noina’s sister, urges Mihir to reconcile with a distressed Noina. “She’s hurt, come talk to her,” she pleads. Mihir’s firm: “Not now.” The tension lingers as Tulsi joins, inquiring about the office vibe. Vallabh Bhai reveals the unspoken truth: Noina and Mihir have mutually decided to part ways professionally. Noina’s return to the U.S. looms, leaving the team’s future uncertain.

Mihir plans for Tulsi

Mihir and Pari plan a spur-of-the-moment shopping trip to a local jewellery shop, and Mihir invites Tulsi along, saying it’ll be fun. Tulsi hesitates, citing pending tasks, and promises to catch up later. Pari, sensing the awkwardness, intervenes with a warm smile, assuring her there’s no rush and they’ll manage; Tulsi can join them whenever she’s free. The trio’s plans hang in the air, leaving Tulsi’s absence a gentle question mark.

Mihir thinks about Raman

In the bustling jewellery shop, Mihir and Pari exchange curious glances as they spot Raman browsing expensive pieces, presumably for his future bride. They wonder which girl has agreed to marry him. The scene sours when Raman lashes out at a flustered salesgirl, dismissing her polite queries with arrogance. Mihir’s instincts kick in; he steps between them and tells Raman there’s no need to speak to her like that. Raman smirks and warns Mihir to mind his business, but Mihir retorts that she’s just doing her job. Pari supports him, her eyes flashing a warning. The air thickens until the salesgirl intervenes, offering to handle it. Raman huffs, grabs his choices, and barks at an unseen companion to leave. The tension lingers as Mihir and Pari share a disapproving look.

As the shop’s chaos settles, Pari approaches Mihir with a purposeful air. She’s stepping out for a bit, she says, needing to call Ranvijay since the network is awful inside. She’s picked the items she wants, so he can pay for them. Mihir nods, watching her slip into the evening sunlight. He settles the bill, pockets the receipt, and turns to leave—only to collide with a familiar figure. Noina. Their eyes lock in mutual shock. The space between them thickens with unspoken words. Mihir says her name, his tone a hesitant bridge. Noina’s smile is fragile. The past lingers, unresolved.

Noina’s decision shocks Mihir

Noina steps into the showroom, asking to see mangalsutras. Mihir follows, confused—why is she buying a wedding necklace? Raman arrives, smiling smugly, and wraps an arm around her waist. He comments on her picking the _chura_. The truth hits Mihir like a blow: Noina is marrying Raman. He asks, shocked, if she’s really marrying him. Raman gloats that she’s moving to the U.S. with him. Noina avoids Mihir’s gaze. He forces out a congratulations, his voice hollow, and turns to leave. The mangalsutra gleams like a cruel irony.

At Noina’s house, her sister Suchu is stunned to hear about her engagement to Raman. Noina reveals it’s a calculated move: she wants to make Mihir jealous, convinced he can’t handle seeing her with another man. Mihir doesn’t believe in letting go of the past, she adds, her plan twisted. Mitali, eavesdropping, misinterprets the conversation—assuming Mihir and Noina are secretly involved. Her mind spins with the scandalous thought.

Tulsi tries to spark romance

After a sweaty workout session, Mitali drops a bombshell on Pari: she’s convinced Mihir and Noina are having an affair. Pari’s face freezes in disbelief. Meanwhile, Tulsi primps for her dinner date with Mihir, fussing over his outfit. He’s wearing the wrong suit, she says. Mihir’s mood is grim—dinner won’t fix their issues. As they head out hand-in-hand, Pari bursts in, her eyes wide with shock: Mihir and Tulsi, laughing together. The contrast stings. What’s going on? she thinks, her mind racing.

As they drive to the restaurant, Tulsi tries to spark romance, lightening the mood, but Mihir’s distant, his frustration simmering. Meanwhile, Angad steps into the same restaurant, hoping to score a job. Tulsi and Mihir walk in, an unplanned coincidence. She orders fiery dishes for both—spicy enough for his mood, she teases, oblivious to Mihir’s tension.
