Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2: Tulsi confronts Mihir about his affairs with Mandira and Noina

The episode of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 opens with a poignant moment as Tulsi arrives at Pari's bidaai ceremony. Pari is overcome with emotion, and as she asks Tulsi where she's been, a flood of memories between them comes to the forefront. Tulsi, with a mix of emotions, questions Pari's decision to go ahead with the marriage to Ranvijay, given the circumstances. Pari's response is simple yet profound: she married Ranvijay because she's in love with him.

Tulsi’s heartfelt advice

Tulsi's words cut deep as she addresses Mihir, emphasizing that love and trust are equally crucial in a relationship. She highlights trust as the foundation of marriage, where parents entrust their daughter's well-being to her husband, believing he'll protect and care for her.

Tulsi shares the pain of shattered trust, explaining that when it's broken, the pain is unbearable and indescribable. Her words are a stark reminder of trust's importance in marriage.

Turning to Pari and Ranvijay, Tulsi advises Pari to never let that trust break and warns Ranvijay to always honour her faith in him. With that, Pari's bidaai is completed, marking a new chapter in her life.

The Truth Unravels

Tulsi asks the Virani family members to step inside, wanting a private word with Mihir. Mihir seizes the moment to explain himself, apologizing for not revealing the truth about Noina sooner. He cites Pari's wedding as the reason for his silence, acknowledging his mistake.

Mihir reveals he's transferred all property to Tulsi's name, driven by guilt. He recounts their tumultuous past, filled with arguments and misunderstandings, and admits he felt their thoughts had drifted apart. Despite his efforts, the distance between them grew. He insists Noina is just a friend, but Tulsi cuts him off, her patience wearing thin.

The Shattered Illusion

Mihir's words are laced with regret as he confesses his inability to face Tulsi, acknowledging the gravity of his mistakes. He claims he's cluedless about how things went awry. Tulsi cuts him off, posing a piercing question: would he have forgiven her if she had done the same?

Mihir's excuse falls flat – he was drunk and didn't realize what was happening. Tulsi's response is scathing: even inebriated, a man knows who's touching him isn't his wife. Mihir's apology is met with skepticism; he claims to love Tulsi deeply. But Tulsi's verdict is clear: he never truly loved her. If he had, he wouldn't have betrayed her trust with Noina and Mandira. Her words hang in the air, a stark reality check for Mihir.

The Weight of Forgiveness

Tulsi's voice is tinged with regret as she takes responsibility for her past actions. It was her mistake to forgive him, driven by thoughts of societal expectations, elders, business partners, and the potential impact on their grown-up children. Mihir doesn't know what she went through upon discovering his truth with Mandira – their entire relationship felt like a lie.

A Heart Wound

Tulsi's thoughts were a turmoil of doubts, Mihir's smiles now haunting her. Did he smile the same way at Mandira? The pain was suffocating – she'd married him, unaware of his ongoing affair. She'd chosen to forgive, believing he'd made a mistake, that he was a good man who'd erred.

But forgiveness wasn't easy. Mihir's casual request for pardon belied the devastation he'd left in his wake. He never realized the depth of her pain, the heartbreak she'd endured, standing by him through thick and thin.

A Mother's Pain, A Wife's Sorrow

Tulsi's words are a poignant reminder of the past. When Savita discovered Mihir's affair with Mandira, her disbelief turned to anger, and she hit him. Tulsi recalls accepting Mandira's child, treating Karan as her own, despite the painful memories he brought back.

Yet, Mihir never once asked, "How does it feel, Tulsi? Do you ever feel ashamed?" She was left to grapple with the pain of his betrayal, Karan a constant reminder of his infidelity. Tulsi's voice is tinged with sorrow as she reflects on the sacrifices she made, and the emotions she was left to navigate alone.

The Pain of Betrayal

Tulsi's voice cracks as she takes responsibility for her situation, admitting she's half-mad for trusting her husband again. And now, that half-mad woman is completely lost. Mihir's partnership with Noina had become so intimate that he never once considered her feelings. Tulsi recalls the warnings, the whispers of Noina and Mihir's affair, but she chose to trust him blindly.

The Final Goodbye

Mihir acknowledges his mistake, choosing not to beg for forgiveness. Tulsi's response is a mix of pain and pride: he transferred everything to her name, a guilt-ridden attempt to make amends for his affair with Noina. But she values the trust and love she gave him far more than any material wealth. With a final statement, Tulsi severs ties: Mihir should never speak her name again. And with that, she walks away, leaving him behind.
