Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2: Parth loses his temper when Rio calls Karan his father

The episode begins with Parth witnessing a group of men troubling Vaishnavi. Without wasting time, he rushes forward to protect her. However, the situation quickly turns against him as the men overpower and attack him.

Just when matters seem to be getting worse, Rio arrives at the spot. Stepping out of his car, he confronts the group and successfully fights them off. His intervention helps Vaishnavi and saves Parth from further harm.

After the confrontation ends, Rio does not stop there. He unexpectedly punches Parth as well and sarcastically advises him to take better care of his "Juliet," Vaishnavi. The remark irritates Parth, who clearly does not appreciate Rio's teasing.

Rio continues making light of the situation, while Parth struggles to hide his frustration. The exchange once again highlights the growing tension between the two men.

Meanwhile, back at Shantiniketan, Tulsi begins discussing an important matter concerning the family's future. She tells everyone that the time has come for the younger generation to gradually take over responsibilities.

Tulsi reveals that she is considering stepping back from active management and plans to hand over the power of attorney either to Parth or Riyansh. Hemant questions whether giving complete authority to one person would be the right decision. However, Tulsi reassures him that even if responsibilities are assigned, the family will continue functioning collectively. She insists that important decisions will still be taken with everyone's involvement.

Parth objects after Rio calls Karan his father

Soon, Parth returns home injured. His condition immediately worries the family members, who gather around him and ask what happened.

When they learn about the incident, Tulsi thanks Rio for stepping in and helping Parth. She appreciates the fact that Rio did not ignore the situation and came forward when it was needed. However, the conversation takes an uncomfortable turn. While speaking about the incident, Rio once again mentions Vaishnavi and jokes about Parth's feelings for her.

The situation becomes even more tense when Rio refers to Karan as his father. The statement immediately catches Parth's attention and upsets him. Parth firmly tells Rio not to call Karan his dad. His reaction leaves the room silent for a moment and reflects the emotional complexity surrounding Rio's place in the family.

Although Rio does not engage in a major argument, the moment highlights how unresolved issues continue to exist beneath the surface. Despite living under the same roof, several relationships remain fragile.

Meanwhile, Tulsi and Nandini once again find themselves disagreeing over matters connected to Rio. Their conversation gradually turns into another debate, with both women standing by their viewpoints. The ongoing disagreements make it clear that accepting Rio completely remains difficult for some family members despite Tulsi's efforts to bring everyone together.

Tulsi hands household keys to Nandini

Later, Tulsi gathers the entire family for an important announcement. Damini and Nandini are also present as she begins discussing the future management of the household. Tulsi says that responsibilities should now be distributed among the next generation. She brings out the household keys and announces that someone else should start handling the daily affairs of the house.

Initially, she leaves the choice open and says she does not want to force her decision on anyone. Since Hemant's wife refuses to take the responsibility, the focus shifts to Damini and Nandini.

Both women feel that Damini should receive the keys because she is the elder daughter in law. However, neither of them makes a final claim. Seeing the hesitation, Tulsi eventually takes the decision herself. She assigns Damini the responsibility of overseeing financial matters, while Nandini is given charge of managing the household.

Tulsi then hands the keys to Nandini. The decision leaves Damini visibly disappointed even though she tries to remain composed in front of the family. Towards the end of the episode, Tulsi privately asks Damini whether she is upset. Damini avoids arguing but requests Tulsi not to explain her decision.

Instead, she asks Tulsi to think about who will hold real authority in the future. She also raises concerns about her son Nakul's future within the family. Understanding her worries, Tulsi reassures Damini that Nakul will receive equal rights and opportunities. She promises to personally take responsibility for his education, growth and overall well being, bringing the episode to a thoughtful conclusion.
