Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2: Rio earns power of attorney but makes a surprise move

The episode begins with Rio explaining the thinking behind his saree distribution initiative. He says that although he did not earn any money from the challenge, he succeeded in earning people's trust and goodwill.

His words leave Tulsi impressed. She points out that Rio not only strengthened the image of Virani Industries but also won the confidence of the women associated with the business. Tulsi praises his approach and says goodwill can often be as valuable as profit.

Parth, however, feels uncomfortable hearing the appreciation directed towards Rio. The comparison increases his insecurity as he waits for Tulsi's final decision.

Tulsi then asks the entire family to participate in choosing who deserves the power of attorney. She says the decision should not rest on her opinion alone. One by one, family members share their views. After hearing everyone, it becomes clear that the family supports Rio. The majority believes his actions demonstrated leadership, responsibility and long term vision.

Tulsi announces that the power of attorney will be handed to Rio. She notices Parth's disappointment and immediately advises him not to see the outcome as a defeat. Instead, she encourages him to learn from the experience and continue growing. The announcement creates further tension between Parth and Rio. However, an unexpected twist follows.

Rio says he does not want the power of attorney. He tells Tulsi that Parth deserves the responsibility and requests her to transfer it to him instead. The decision surprises everyone present. Tulsi is touched by Rio's gesture. She praises the values he carries and credits Niyati for raising him with humility and maturity.

Parth's jealousy creates fresh conflict

The atmosphere remains positive as family members congratulate Rio. Vaishnavi is among those who appreciate his decision and openly praises his actions. While the conversation continues, Parth quietly overhears them. He notices Vaishnavi speaking highly of Rio and becomes increasingly irritated.

His discomfort grows further when he sees Rio holding Vaishnavi's hand while speaking to her. Rio jokingly asks whether she is impressed with him.

Although the interaction appears harmless, Parth struggles to control his emotions. Jealousy gets the better of him. Soon, he confronts Vaishnavi and questions why she is praising Rio so much. The discussion quickly turns into an argument.

Parth raises his voice and lashes out at her. Vaishnavi is left surprised by his reaction, while others notice the sudden change in his behaviour. Tulsi witnesses the confrontation and is taken aback. She cannot understand why Parth is behaving so aggressively.

The incident raises concerns for her, especially because Parth usually maintains his composure. Tulsi silently wonders whether something deeper is troubling him. Moments later, she also notices Rio stepping in and speaking to Vaishnavi. The situation leaves several questions unanswered as tensions continue to rise.

Parth reveals his birthday proposal plan

Meanwhile, Parth senses that Nandini is upset. He approaches her and asks what is bothering her. Nandini admits that she is unhappy with the way events are unfolding. She feels Tulsi is constantly favouring Rio and giving him opportunities that should have gone to others.

Parth attempts to reassure his mother and asks her not to overthink the situation. He then shifts the conversation towards his own concerns.

Realising that Vaishnavi is upset after their argument, Parth says he wants to make things right. He reveals that he has been planning something important.

Parth tells Nandini that he intends to propose to Vaishnavi during her birthday celebration the next day. The revelation instantly changes Nandini's mood. Excited by the idea, she supports his plan and suggests organising the birthday celebration at home. She believes the family setting will make the occasion more special.

Nandini also recommends buying an engagement ring before the party. Parth agrees and appears hopeful about the future despite the tensions surrounding him. The episode ends with Rio winning the family's respect, while Parth prepares for a life changing proposal that could alter several relationships inside the Virani household.
