My Kuhu-centric take away from today's episode: If Kuhu was scared of losing her marriage and having to face that reality, she is absolutely terrified now that she has it, and has to face this one, because she has that much more to lose. She is not taking *any* risks, especially where Mishti is concerned.
She doesn't know if Mishti revealed her divorce papers on purpose or not, she doesn't know if Mishti was serious about sending her and Kunal away and living like a maharani in RVS and she doesn't know what Mishti's "game plan" is once she enters their sasural. Knowing what we know, it's easy to see she's panicking and overreacting but she's acting on her knowledge and experiences. Maybe it is just a coincidence that Mishti's "help" has played a major role in many of Kuhu's problems, but she is not in any mood to entertain that benefit of doubt right now. The combination of the audience knowing that Mishti didn't have any malicious intentions and Mishti being willing to share the mandap make it seem like Kuhu is being unreasonable out of the blue, but they have actually built up Kuhu's mistrust of Mishti quite convincingly from the beginning of the leap.
From the day she got back from London, Mishti has shut Kuhu out of her all her plans, laughed at her concerns, dismissed her help, and has consistently told her one thing and gone and done something completely different, usually with devastating consequences. Despite her major doubts, Kuhu eventually put her trust in Mishti when she said that she was done with Abir and committed to Nishant, and we all know how that ended. At this point, Kuhu is absolutely done taking Mishti at face value, and is trying to push Mishti's buttons so she can figure out what's actually going on in her head, while at the same time trying to fiercely guard what's hers.
