Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Story

[amol]

The serial begins on Amba's birthday - a day that no one in the family, except her husband, her grandson Mihir and Tulsi, the daughter of the pujari, seem to remember. In order to make up for the lapse on their part, the Viranis propose to have dinner together. The bahus - Savita, Daksha and Gayatri - decide to order food instead of cooking. This embarrasses Amba, angers her sons, gives the three daughters-in-law more reason to crib against Amba and sets the tone for the way relationships proceed for the major part of the serial.

Mihir returns from America and takes over the reins of the family business. He goes to the family temple and there he bumps into Tulsi - the daughter of the family pujari.

Savita, Daksha and Gayatri plan Mihir's wedding. Mihir meets a prospective bride called Niharika, but when she seems undecided about what she wants to do, Mihir lies to her parents about his affairs in America, and wiggles out of the match.

In steps Payal - with a proposal for Mihir. It is soon taken for granted that Payal will be marrying Mihir. But the differences between the two are apparent - and Tulsi and her dad, the pujari talk about this. Payal, in the meantime, goes over to the Virani household and tries to sniff out the undercurrents in the house.

Payal snubs Tulsi. When Mihir hears about this, he goes to apologise to Tulsi. Payal, however, does not apologise for her conduct. She does not go over to meet Chirag either - after he is brought home by the police on suspicions of attempting to kill himself, because he has flunked in his exams.

Mihir and Tulsi discover that they like each other. Savita stops Tulsi from coming to her house. Payal's mom goes to the pujari's house and insults him and Tulsi, as a result of which he suffers a heart attack. Mihir then breaks off his engagement to Payal and threatens his family that if he is forced to marry her, he will return to America.

Mihir proposes to Tulsi. Savita, in the meantime, has already planned to get Mihir engaged to Payal all over again. Plots and counter-plots fly thick and fast - and Mihir and Tulsi get married in secret, much to Savita's anger.

Savita asks Mihir to choose between her and Tulsi. She sulks for days on end till Mihir and Tulsi decide to leave home. Savita makes up her mind that she will pretend to be pacified in order to keep Mihir at home, but will make life hell for Tulsi.

Pragna, the sister of the Virani sons, comes to stay at Shantiniketan. Govardhan appoints Navin, her husband, as one of the directors in his company. Pragna, meanwhile, is placed in embarrassing situation time and again, because of her pathetic financial condition. To save her the hassle, Hemant and Mihir buy her a flat.


In the meantime, trouble is brewing at the Aligarh factory of the Viranis. Tulsi and Mihir cut short their honeymoon and return to India. Kiran returns too and is told about the Aligarh problems. He asks Govardhan to let him go to Aligarh.

He then throws a party for Mihir and Tulsi, where matters come to such a head between Tulsi and Savita that Mihir decides to return to America. He is coaxed into changing his mind. Kiran discovers that the girl he loves is the one Savita has decided he should marry.

Govardhan hands over all the work for Kiran's wedding to Mihir. When Savita is shown the wedding card, she bristles on seeing Tulsi's name on it and calls up Payal. She then decides to be ostensibly sweet to Tulsi, but to saddle her with responsibilities that she just cannot juggle. She plots as often as she can to get Tulsi into sticky situations.

At one of the rituals before Kiran's wedding, Hemant and Pooja get talking to each other. Savita puts Tulsi in charge of the jewellery for the wedding. Tulsi leaves the ornaments with Amba. When Pragna comes over, they open Amba's cupboard to look for the most expensive necklace they have made for Aarti - it is missing.

Savita asks Tulsi to get the necklace. Hemant comes to know that it is missing, and he asks Tulsi not to tell anyone about it. Hemant tells Govardhan about the loss of the necklace, and also points out that Daksha is wearing a similar one, which she claims is hers.

Daksha gives her necklace to Aarti and blames Tulsi for the loss of the necklace. The servant Madhu finds it in Tulsi's room. Just when everyone is convinced that Tulsi has stolen the necklace, JD catches Madhu counting money in the kitchen. He asks Madhu where he has got so much money. Madhu confesses that Gayatri had paid him to put the necklace in Tulsi's room.

JD drags Gayatri to Govardhan and Amba, but she refuses to apologise to Tulsi. JD praises Tulsi for her honesty. The three bahus start plotting again.

Meanwhile, Sejal, who had gone for a rehearsal, is in a accident. Hemant, JD, Gayatri, Payal and Mihir go to the hospital. Anand, Sejal's friend, who is with her when the accident occurs, feels guilty.

Kiran and Aarti plan the resurrection of the Aligarh factory. Kiran reaches the Aligarh factory and asks for work, but is dismissed. He waits outside the factory and meets Mohan, who tells him that he will find work there.
He then calls Aarti and asks her to come to the Aligarh factory. He asks her to pretend that she is the boss.

Meanwhile, Suhasi meets Rakesh, her parents' acquaintances' son, and agrees to marry him. Payal and Tulsi bump into each other at the temple, and Payal challenges Tulsi that she will make the two divorce each other. Tulsi and Amba decide that it's time to teach the three bahus of the Virani household a lesson.

But even before they can put their plan into action, Savita mounts an attack. Tulsi then makes up her mind to win over all the people of the house. She talks to JD and asks him to get Gayatri to take an interest in her dance again. She also tells Ba it's time to fulfil Gayatri's dreams for a dance institute.

Suhasi gets married. On the night of her wedding, she discovers that her husband already has a son. She decides that she will keep up the faade of the relationship.

Payal, who has been plotting against Tulsi, gets her friend Deepak to fake an affair with Tulsi. But this plot falls through when Deepak discovers that Tulsi is his childhood friend, and not the wicked woman that Payal had made her out to be. Deepak and Tulsi turn the tables on Payal and tell Savita that Deepak and Payal are actually in love with each other. Savita is furious.

Chirag fails his exams and leaves home, telling his parents that he will not return till he carves out an identity for himself.


In the midst of all this bad news comes some good - Ba and Babuji give Gayatri the plan to her dance institute. Gayatri apologises to Tulsi for misunderstanding her. Tulsi also gets Ba enrolled into a fashion designing school, where she is a hit.

Tulsi also discovers that she is pregnant - a fact that does not go down very well with Savita.

Pooja, in the meantime, has been getting blank calls from someone who professes to be her admirer. She discovers that the blackmailer is her boss and Anand's friend Rajeev.

At the factory, the village girl Kiran had rescued falls in love with him. This strains the relationship between Kiran and Aarti. Chirag returns home and tells everyone that he has become an actor.

Suhaasi, meanwhile, gets Rakesh's son Aniket home, but does not let him care for the baby. Suhasi comes home and Tulsi gets to know the truth about Aniket. Mihir, too, suspects that Aniket is Rakesh's son.

JD agrees to let Sejal marry Anand. Chirag tells Daksha he wants to marry Prajakta, and she warns him against it. Just when she is busy plotting Chirag's marriage with Bharti, her niece, the Virani family receives a bolt from the blue - Sejal consumes sleeping pills and it is discovered that she is pregnant. Daksha overhears Tulsi telling Mihir that she had suspected Sejal's condition. She tells Savita about this and the two plan to insult Tulsi in front of the entire family.

Pooja, in the meantime, is delivered an ultimatum by Rajeev - he tells her that she must marry him, or he will ensure that Anand never returns in time to marry Sejal. In order to make life easier for Sejal, Pooja agrees to marry Rajeev.

With this promised, the way is cleared for Anand to come home from Dubai and marry Sejal. But problems crop up almost from Day 1. Used as she is to the comforts of the Virani house, Sejal cribs about the lack of amenities at Anand's house and repeatedly castigates him for not being able to give her what she terms "basic comforts".

Hemant returns from his work abroad and is shocked to discover that Pooja has married Rajeev. He does not know that she has been blackmailed into it. Therefore, he vents his ire against her often, embarrassing her in public and taking pot-shots at her for toying with his emotions.

Mihir, in the meantime, is involved in the collaboration of a major project that could control the future of Virani industries. His financier for the project is Anupam Kapadia - a man he has spoken to over the phone, but has never met in person. It is gradually made clear that this project could make or break Virani Industries. In order to carry the project through to fruition, it becomes necessary for Mihir to go to the Aligarh factory.
Mihir leaves for the factory, evidently worried about the state of Tulsi, who is now far into her pregnancy. He promises to call and keep tabs on her health. He is delayed from reaching the factory, and the worried Viranis try calling him on his phone, but cannot get through to him. There is no news of him at the factory either, and everyone gets worried about his safety.

Just then, the Viranis get a call that confirms their worst fears - there has been an accident. Hemant, Chirag and JD go to the accident site - and discover that the body found at the site does, indeed, belong to Mihir.
With Mihir's death comes a sea-change in the attitude of Savita towards her bahu. Shattered by the death of her son, Savita is now left with hope in the form of her daughter-in-law and the child that she is carrying. Gautam, the child, is born and becomes the centre of his mother's and grandmother's worlds.

With Mihir's death, the project he had planned also seems doomed. In steps Anupam Kapadia, the financier of the project. He uses his business acumen to save the project and protect the Viranis from disaster.
Payal also offers her aid to the Viranis. Her company offers them money against the mortgage of their house. She then returns the mortgage papers to Hemant and uses this to get closer to him. Payal now has one goal in life - to get back into the Virani house as a daughter-in-law. With Hemant having got to know the true story behind Pooja's marriage to Rajeev, it now appears to Payal that all she has to do is capitalise on the lack of a woman in his life.

Anupam turns out to be the solace for the suffering Virani family. He falls in love with Tulsi and evinces interest in marrying her. Tulsi is totally against the idea, but she fears that if she turns down Anupam's proposal, he might ruin the Virani family financially. In order to save the family's fortunes, she agrees to get married to Anupam.

As luck would have it, the serial shifts back to Mihir - who is alive, and suffering from amnesia - in a Delhi hospital. He has been under the supervision of a certain Dr Mona. He is back from the dead, but has no memory of who he is and where his family is.

Mihir is given the name Amar and is taken care of by Mona, who has started harbouring a soft corner for him. Matters are complicated more when it is revealed that Mona is the sister of Anupam, the man Tulsi is all set to marry.

What follows are tense, climactic moments when Tulsi and Mihir almost seem destined to meet, but never really make it. But other people who know Mihir meet him - Payal's friend Deepak sees him, but gets confused about his identity. Bharti's fiance Suresh Dhurander spots Mihir and is convinced he has seen a ghost.

Hemant gets engaged to Payal. Suhasi gets a shock when Aniket's mother, Monisha, turns up and wins a court case against them. She has to give up Aniket to his biological mother.

In the meantime, Anand, pushed to the edge by Sejal's taunts, decides to join the Virani family business. He decides to go all out to make money and Sejal finds that he has lesser time now to spend on her and their child, Indu. This leads to frequent fights between the two.

As Tulsi's wedding to Anupam approaches, Savita faces the prospect of losing not just her grandson, but also the woman she has learnt to love. Tulsi senses Savita's sense of loss. She tells Savita that she will get married to Anupam only on the condition that she can leave Gautam behind with the Viranis.

Savita, however, begins to ask Aarti, Kiran's wife, to give up her career and stay at home. Aarti prefers the life of a successful businesswoman, and this leads to frequent arguments between the two.

Daksha is also busy on another front - she has got Chirag engaged to Bharti and is planning to get the two married. Prajakta, Suresh and Bharti panic, but Chirag assures them that he will find a way out.

[amol]

In Delhi, Mihir is shown to be getting better. He remembers bits and pieces of his past, but is unable to put a face to any of the people he remembers. The break-through finally comes on the day Mona leaves for Mumbai to attend Anupam's wedding. Mihir remembers the garba that happened at his house - and he remembers Savita's face. But he still cannot put a name or a place to his memories.

Mihir leaves for Mumbai for the wedding. He meets Anupam and his mother. Just as they are about to leave for the ceremony, Mona's gaze falls on the statue of Ram. It's the statue she had promised to get repaired - a statue that's a permanent fixture in the Virani house. She also remembers her promise to Tulsi that she would get it repaired before the wedding. Amar promises to get it repaired and reach the wedding venue on time.

At the Virani household, everyone is helping Tulsi get ready for the wedding. Savita comes to her and tells her that she is returning Gautam to her as a wedding gift. The wedding then begins. The priest urges Tulsi to give Anupam her hand and complete the kanyadaan ritual. A reluctant Tulsi looks around helplessly, trying to delay the moment, as she fights the knowledge that after this moment, she must give up her identity as Mihir's wife. Just as she is looking around the gathering, her eyes fall on Mihir, who has just come in and replaced the broken idol. Tulsi runs to him.

A series of images from the past flit through Mihir's mind and the strain of makes him lose his consciousness. The Tulsi-Anupam wedding is called off - leaving behind a visibly-thrilled Tulsi and a shocked Mona, who realises that Amar has now been taken away, irrevocably, from her.

Tulsi realises that Mihir is torn between "Amar's" feelings for Mandira (Mona) and his duty towards his wife. Dr Singh, who was helping Mandira cure Amar, is brought down from Delhi and he tells the family to try their best to make Mihir remember the past.

Mihir, Hemant, JD, Mansukh and Dr Singh go via the same route that Mihir took when he was in the accident. He sees the spots, recollects the conversation he had then and finally regains his memory.

However, he still has to cope with the fact that Mandira does not want to let go of him. She calls him up, comes over to meet him, and tries to make excuses of all kinds to be with him. Mihir is also distressed by the fact that Payal is to marry Hemant - try as he might, he cannot stop feeling that he has reason not to trust her.

Meanwhile, Rajeev is diagnosed with bone cancer. Suhasi and Rakesh get custody of Aniket because Monisha is unable to take care of him. Anupam confronts Mandira about her obsession with Amar and she denies it, plotting all the while in her mind to get him back into her life.

While Tulsi is worried about the Mihir-Mandira equation, there are stress lines brewing elsewhere in the Virani family. Aarti tells Savita that she will give up her career if Payal also gives up hers after marrying Hemant.

Tulsi and Mihir, in the meantime, decide to take Ba and Babuji on a pilgrimage. News reaches the family that Bharti, the woman Daksha was grooming as her daughter-in-law, has run away and got married to her fiance, Suresh. Daksha is shattered by the news and her heart sinks further when she realises that nothing can now keep Chirag from marrying Prajakta.

Visions of Mandira and Mihir having an affair continue to plague Tulsi. She also finds Mihir lying to her about his whereabouts. Mihir discovers that Payal's firm has whisked away a contract from under the nose of Virani Industries. Payal informs them, however, that the contract is back in their hands, since she has withdrawn her bid.

Prajakta is worried that Chirag's parents might not let her work after their wedding. Chirag reassures her. Over dinner, Mandira's mom broaches the topic of Mandira's wedding. The latter gets furious and walks off.

Rajiv cooks for Pooja, in order to make her feel better. He also proposes that they celebrate her birthday in advance, since he might not be around on her birthday.

Mihir buys Tulsi a saree, but Mandira takes it away from him. Mihir then spots Tulsi's cousin Kesar, and takes her home instead, to make up for the missing "gift".

This gives Daksha an opportunity to instigate Savita against Tulsi. She tells Savita that it is not OK for Tulsi to call her cousin home without informing anyone about it.

Anupam discovers that Aarti has been discussing business secrets with Payal - thereby explaining why Payal's company manages to come up with better bids for projects. He tells Mihir about his concerns and Mihir asks Kiran to ensure that Aarti can't leak out business details again.

Kiran gives Aarti a dressing down and Aarti says she will give up working.

Mihir meets Mandira and talks to her. Payal, who's also present, notes this and files it away in her memory for future use.

Tulsi, to her horror, discovers that Mandira has sent Mihir a card. She is worried about it.

It's Anupam's birthday and Mandira tells him that she has thought of a novel way to celebrate it. Tulsi is perturbed about the card Mihir has received from Mandira. She wonders if he has given Mandira the saree he bought for her. Even as she is trying to make sense of it, Mihir lands up with a saree for her, confusing her all the more.

Hemant and Kiran discuss the tension at home and decide to talk to Mihir and Aarti and ask them to help prevent more trouble at Shantiniketan.

Payal tells Hemant that the root of all the trouble is Mihir's relationship with Mandira - she goes on to insinuate that Mihir is meeting Mandira on the sly.

Payal spots Mandira buying a gift for Anupam. She orders a gift and sends it to Anupam, putting Tulsi's name on the card.

Anupam calls Tulsi to thank her for the gift, but ends up speaking to Savita, who finds the fact that Tulsi has sent him a gift, disturbing.

Savita confronts Tulsi and asks her why she sent the gift to Anupam. Tulsi denies having done so.

Chirag and Daksha argue again about Prajakta. Mihir tells Chirag that he will support him, as long as he doesn't do anything that will besmirch the family's honour.

Aarti's doctor tells her and Kiran that she will probably be unable to bear children. However, the doctor reassures them that they might be able to help Aarti, with the help of modern medical techniques. Kiran asks the doctor to keep Aarti's condition a secret from his family.


Anupam and Mandira go to a restaurant to celebrate his birthday. Mihir and Tulsi land up at the same restaurant. Tulsi and Mandira are wearing identical sarees and Mihir hugs Mandira, mistaking her for Tulsi.

Mihir feeds Tulsi cake and she drinks out out of his glass. Mandira is left watching them. To hide her anger, she toys around with a glass and ends up cutting her hand.

Tulsi asks Mihir why he lied to her about the saree he gave Mandira. Mihir accuses her of lying to everyone about the gift she gave Anupam. Tulsi denies having given Anupam any gift, but Mihir refuses to believe her. Tulsi then makes up her mind to confront Mandira.

Tulsi meets Mandira at the restaurant and asks her to stay away from Mihir. Mandira tells her that she and Mihir are friends, and if Tulsi thinks that their relationship is a threat to her marriage, she should talk to Mihir about it.

Tulsi then tells Mandira that no matter how much she loves Mihir, she will never be able to take him away. She then goes to Anupam's office and asks him why he lied to Savita that she had sent him a gift. Anupam shows her the card that came with the gift. Tulsi tells him that the writing on the card is not hers. Anupam is left wondering who might have sent him the gift.

Ba and Babuji's anniversary is on the cards and Savita, Daksha and Gayatri plan to take the family out to dinner to celebrate. Tulsi plans to get Ba and Babuji remarried. She gets cards printed and everyone in the house gets down to the task of organising the wedding.

The Viranis give Amba and Govardhan the card and tell them about the wedding. Ba and Babuji tell Mihir and Tulsi how they first met each other.

Payal's mother tells her to be careful and not do anything that might get in the way of her marriage with Hemant.

Anupam wonders why Tulsi refused to acknowledge that she sent the gift. Mandira says she might have done so for fear of offending her in-laws. Anupam says someone who wants to harm the Viranis must have sent the gift.

Payal finds an envelope in the magazine that Tulsi is reading, and steals it. The envelope contains the letter and the photo of Mihir and Mandira that Tulsi's friend Deepak had taken. Payal writes a letter and addresses it to Tulsi and plots to use it to separate Mihir and Tulsi. She then replaces the envelope. Tulsi sees the photos and is heartbroken.

Kesar sees the photo and Tulsi tells her that Mandira is the cause of all her problems. Kesar tells her she will tackle the problem for her.

Tulsi tells Mihir that Mandira's presence in their life is getting larger than life. Mihir tells her that they should be grateful to Mandira, because it is thanks to her that he regained his memory.

Kesar shows Anupam the letter and the picture of Mihir and Mandira. Anupam tells her he will take care of the matter.

He then shows Mandira the photograph and asks her what she is up to. Mandira tells him that the photo was taken when she was in Delhi and Mihir was in her care. She tells him there is nothing more to it than that.

[amol]

Tulsi is furious with Kesar and tells her she should not have handed over the photo to Anupam. She then calls Anupam and tells him she wants to meet him. Anupam comes home and tells Tulsi that Deepak is responsible for creating a misunderstanding between Mandira and Tulsi. Tulsi tells him Deepak can be trusted.

Anupam tells Mandira to forget Mihir and get on with life. She then tells Anupam that if he can get her Mihir, she will never ask him for anything for the rest of her life.

Aarti tells Payal that she can never have children. Payal advises her not to tell anybody in the family that. She then goes to Gayatri and tells her about Aarti's problem. She also tells Gayatri that she has been trying to persuade Aarti to talk to everyone. Chirag overhears both these conversations, and is convinced that Payal is up to no good.

Deepak comes to meet Tulsi and tells her that the photo she has is the one he had sent, but the letter and envelope are different.

Chirag talks to Mihir about Payal. They decide to tell JD everything.

Gayatri talks to Savita and lets it slip out that Aarti cannot bear children. Savita is shocked and hurt that no one told her about it.

Sejal returns home and tells her parents that she has left Anand. JD calls up Anand and tells him that they must now put an end to this problem.


Kesar goes to meet Anupam. She apologises for her behaviour. Anupam tells her that he will forgive her, if she goes out for coffee with him.

JD and Anand tell Sejal about their plan to make her realise how selfish she was acting. Sejal realises her mistake and asks Anand to forgive her.

Savita tells Aarti that she will take her to a doctor who might be able to help her. She also asks Aarti not to conceal the truth from her in the future. Aarti wonders why Payal talked to Gayatri about her.

Mihir discovers that Payal owns a majority of the stake in Virani Industries. He tells Kiran that this could be a threat to the Viranis.

Anupam and his mother show Mandira pictures of prospective grooms. Mandira tells them that the only one she wants to marry is Mihir. Her mother threatens to hit her, but Anupam stops her.

Mihir tells Kiran that they have to talk to JD to stop Payal. He also shares his fears about Payal with Tulsi. She advises him not to do anything that will hurt Hemant. Mihir then goes to talk to Hemant, but sensing his happiness, doesn't tell him anything.

Kiran gives Aarti her project files and asks her to take up the project again. Aarti refuses to do so, telling him that she does not want to give Savita cause for complaint.

Pinku tells Prajakta how he has planned to stage a wedding between her and Chirag, and make it appear like part of the film shoot.

JD wonders how to tell Gayatri about Payal.

Mandira comes to meet Mihir. Payal sees them together. She talks about this to Hemant. He tells her that Tulsi has been worried about them, ever since she saw the photograph of Mandira and Mihir.

Anupam meets Deepak, who tells him about the circumstances under which he clicked the photographs. Deepak recognises the handwriting as Payal's. He tells Anupam about his fears.

Ba and Babuji assure Chirag that they will support him and help him marry Prajakta.

Payal tells Tulsi that Mandira had come to meet Mihir in the office. Anupam talks to Mihir about his conversation with Deepak. Mihir decides to talk to Tulsi about what he has discovered. Tulsi tells him that she is not concerned about Payal - she is worried about Mandira. She tells herself that Mihir is blaming Payal only to save his face.

Savita asks Tulsi what is going on between her and Anupam. She asks Tulsi to watch her step with Anupam.

Mihir meets Mandira at a restaurant. He tells her to forget Amar. Hemant and Payal walk into the restaurant and find the two of them there.

Tulsi pours her heart out to Ba.

Pooja tells Rajeev that she wants to take him to America to get him treated. He says it is of no use. But she refuses to listen to him and he is forced to agree.

Daksha, Chirag and the others set off for the "shooting" - Chirag's wedding.

Prajakta arrives for the wedding. Pinku pays the pandit to complete the wedding in 15 minutes.

Chirag and Prajakta's wedding begins. Prajakta's father turns up just before the wedding is completed and denounces her. Daksha also leaves the hall.

Prajakta and Chirag come home. Everyone blesses them, but Daksha slaps Chirag and refuses to forgive him Chirag tells Prajakta that they now have to try and win Daksha over.

The doctor tells Pooja that Rajeev will not live much longer, and that there is no use in taking him to America.

Prajakta's dad is furious with her, but her mother persuades him to forgive her. They come over to the Viranis' with gifts for Prajakta and Chirag. Prajakta's mom asks Daksha to forgive Chirag and Prajakta and to accept their wedding. Daksha tells her that no one can become a part of her family without her permission.

Rajeev tells Pooja that he doesn't want to die so soon.

Mihir and JD wonder what they can do to stop Hemant's wedding.

Hemant goes to invite Pooja to his wedding and finds out about Rajeev. He rushes over to the hospital and tells Pooja that he will help her.

Mandira calls Mihir and Tulsi picks up the phone. She refuses to let Mihir speak to Mandira, but Mihir insists on doing so. Tulsi and Mihir then fight over this issue.

Kesar finds Tulsi crying over Mihir and Mandira. She makes up her mind to meet Mandira and Anupam.

Prajakta cooks for Suhasi. Daksha sees Suhasi eating the food Prajakta made and threatens to throw it out, but Suhasi stops her.

Gayatri tells JD that Payal's folks have invited them over for dinner. JD wonders how to break the news about Payal to her.

Rajeev makes Pooja promise that she will take care of herself and will not pine away for him. She promises him, and he dies.

Hemant tells Payal to spend as much time as she can with Pooja, and cheer her up. Daksha is rude to Prajakta again and Chirag consoles the latter.

Mihir goes to meet Mandira. She tells him that she is carrying his child. He shouts at Mandira and asks her why she did not tell him about the pregnancy earlier. She asks him to remember the night she spent with him. Mihir remembers that they had both celebrated his speedy recovery and had got high on wine. He also recollects that he had gone into Mandira's bedroom, mistaking it for his own.

Mandira tells him that she intends to give birth to their child. Mihir tries to dissuade her, but she walks away. Mihir then cries out to God and wonders what he should do.

Tulsi tells Mihir not to worry on her account. She tells him that she needs his help to get rid of her insecurity. Later, Tulsi discovers that she is pregnant.

Tulsi sees Mihir lost in thought and asks him if he is thinking about the child. Mihir thinks she is talking about Mandira's child and asks her if she is happy with the news. Tulsi, who is talking about her child, says she is. She also tells Mihir that he should react more positively, since she has told him that she is expecting a child. Mihir now knows that Tulsi is also pregnant.

JD, Gayatri and Hemant go over to Payal's house for dinner. JD again wonders how Hemant will react when he comes to know the truth about Payal.

Anupam asks Mihir to stop meeting Mandira. Mihir wonders how he will react when he discovers that Mandira is pregnant.

JD overhears a conversation that Payal is conductiong, which convinces him that what Mihir and Chirga told him was right.

Kesar tells everyone that Tulsi is pregnant. Savita is thrilled, but she is also hurt that Tulsi did not tell her this herself. She tells Tulsi that she considered her a daughter, but by hiding this fact, she has proved that she is only a daughter-in-law. Tulsi tells Aarti that she does not have to feel sad that she does not have kids - she convinces Aarti that she is Gautam's mom too, because she has helped bring him up.

JD tells Mihir about the conversation he overheard. Hemant calls Pooja and talks to her.

Mihir calls up Anupam to tell him about Tulsi's pregnancy. Mandira's mom discovers that her daughter is also pregnant.

JD tells Mihir he wishes he had known about Payal's plan earlier, so that he could have stopped her. Payal invites Tulsi to dance, but Mihir stops her, telling Payal that Tulsi is pregnant. Payal then invites Mandira, who hopes that Mihir will stop her too, but he does not. Mandira dances and her head starts reeling.

[amol]

Daksha tells Savita that they should both ensure that their daughters-in-law don't get out of hand. Payal comes to meet JD and wish him a speedy recovery.

Mandira calls up Mihir and tells him that her mother knows about her pregnancy. He also advises her to have the child aborted, but she refuses to listen to him. Mihir wonders why he still can't remember any details of the night he spent with Mandira.

Payal convinces Aarti to go along with her to a doctor. In the meantime, Chirag and Kiran rifle through Payal's cabin for some papers.

Savita shouts and Tulsi and asks her not to suspect Mihir of having an affair with Mandira.

Kiran and Chirag tell JD that Payal has only 10 per cent of her shares and that she has sold the remaining 12 per cent. JD smells a plot in this too.

Payal takes Aarti to a maternity clinic. There, she spots Mandira.

Payal asks the doctor what Mandira was doing at her clinic. The doctor tells her that two doctors don't always have to meet on business.

Payal then tells her mom that she saw Mandira at the clinic. She adds that she suspects that something's amiss.

Savita is thrilled that Payal took Aarti to a doctor. Mandira calls Mihir to tell him that she went to the doctor. He is unable to answer her call, since he is in a meeting.

After the meeting, Mihir calls her up and tells her they can meet in the evening and find a solution to their problem. Payal overhears their conversation and wonders what problem they're talking about.

JD tells Chirag and Kiran that Payal must be planning something really big. They suggest that Hemant should know the truth, but JD stops them from telling Hemant.

Tulsi hears the voicemail Mandira left for Mihir. She wonders what Mandira might have to do with a gynaecologist.

Payal follows Mihir and Mandira. She loses them somewhere in the crowd. Aarti calls her up and asks her to pick up her glasses from the doctors clinic. Payal goes to the clinic and finds Mihir and Mandira there. She discovers that Mandira is pregnant.

Pragya comes home for Rakhi. She is curt to Savita and Daksha, and tells herself that although she is well off now, she can never forget the humiliation they subjected her to.

Anupam asks Mandira to forget Mihir as a favour to him on the occasion of Rakhi. She refuses to do so. He brushes her rakhi aside, sends the plate full of sweets clattering to the ground and leaves.

Anupam goes to Mandira's room later while she is sleeping and picks up the rakhi from her table. Mandira tells her mom that Anupam has taken the rakhi, but not blessed her.

Her mom tells her that he has signed over the house to her. She says that Anupam probably suspects something about her pregnant condition, and that the house will come in handy if Mandira refuses to get the pregnancy terminated.

Anupam tells Mandira she should return to Delhi, since her practice there is flourishing. Mandira wonders how to get more time, and tells him that she is willing to marry anyone he wants her to.

Savita and Gayatri are miffed that Suhasi's godbharai is being planned, and Daksha has not told them anything about it. They then discover that the plan is Ba's, not Daksha's. The three bahus then decide that they need to safeguard their position in the house, and unite against everyone else.

Anupam tells Mihir that Mandira has agreed to get married. Mihir is surprised. Payal visits Mandira and tells her that she knows about her pregnancy. She tells Mandira that no one will come to know if the two of them don't talk about it. After she leaves, Mandira tells herself that if Payal leaks the news, it might make it easier for her to get Mihir.

Tulsi tells Mihir she wants to see a doctor. She mentions the name of the doctor Mandira went to. Mihir tries to dissuade her and Tulsi gets suspicious. Mihir has no choice but to agree.

Mandira tells Mihir that Payal knows that she is pregnant. Mihir is shocked and worried. Tulsi calls him at the office and Mihir gets sentimental.

Hemant goes to meet Pooja and she tells him that people might look upon their relationship with suspicion. Hemant tells her that he wants to show the world that their relationship is above such suspicion.

Anupam tells Mandira that a prospective groom is coming over to meet her. She calls Mihir, who tells her to manage the situation for a day. Mandira's mom tells her to talk to Anupam about her pregnancy.

Payal realises that Hemant's feelings for Pooja are coming to the fore again. She makes up her mind that she will not let this happen.

Mandira's mom asks her to consider Anupam's feelings and to tell him the truth about herself.

Rahul, the man Anupam wants Mandira to marry, comes to meet her. Mandira starts telling him something, but Rahul tells her he knows everything about her past and does not want to know anything else.

Savita is distressed about Kesar staying for so long at the Viranis'. She makes up her mind to talk to her. Anupam tells Mandira that he will not promise Rahul anything unless she agrees to the wedding.

Mandira tells Mihir that she is willing to marry Rahul only if he will accept her with her child. Mihir tells her to abort her child.

Savita suggests to Kesar that she should return to Haridwar. Tulsi promises Kesar she will speak to Savita.

Payal tells her mother she has the Viranis under her control.

JD tells Mihir that the company has decided that he should be made MD. Mihir wants to tell him that he is worried about Mandira, but he does not say so.

Tulsi tells Savita and Gayatri that Mihir wanted Kesar to stay on and finish her studies. Savita tells Kesar that if Mihir wants her to stay on, she has no objection. But she later tells Gayatri that she doesn't like Tulsi involving Mihir in everything. Savita tells Gayatri she will make Mihir get rid of Kesar.

The man Payal calls often to check up on the status of her shareholdings, calls on her. We get to see that he is none other than Rahul, the man who is supposed to marry Mandira.

Rahul tells Payal that he is planning to get married to Mandira. Payal tells Tulsi this and the latter is overjoyed.

Anupam tells Mandira to make up her mind about the proposal soon. Rahul tells Payal that his parents have agreed to his wedding with Mandira. She tells him that he should not marry her, since she is pregnant.

Rahul calls Anupam, and tells him his parents want to talk to him. Rahul's parents tell Anupam that the wedding cannot take place, since Mandira is pregnant. Anupam is furious, and accuses them of casting aspersions on Mandira's character, but they ask him to return home and ask Mandira to tell him the truth.

Mandira calls Mihir and tells him that Anupam knows about her pregnancy. Mihir then goes into a meeting. Anupam comes to the meeting, and leaves immediately. On his way out, he tells Mihir that he wants to talk to him.

Mihir tells Anupam that he, as Mihir, is not responsible for the actions of Amar. He also says that Mandira can save the day by going in for an abortion. Anupam is furious and asks him to leave. Rahul calls Payal and tells her that his wedding has been called off. Payal is ecstatic and wonders how she can tell Tulsi about Mandira.

At Payal's birthday party, Mandira feels unwell. Payal sees her puking and tells her she will get her the tablets she needs. Payal then asks one of her guests to ask Tulsi for medicines taken during pregnancy. In trying to get the medicines to the perosn who needs them, Tulsi discovers that Mandira is pregnant.

Mihir tells Tulsi that Mandira's child is probably his. Tulsi tells Ba this and she is shocked.

Savita confronts Tulsi and asks her why she is making life tough for Mihir. Tulsi tells her to question Payal or Mandira about the reason for her unhappiness. Savita speaks to Payal and finds out that Mandira is pregnant.

Savita and Mansukh ask Mihir if what Payal has told them is true. JD and Himmat tell Mansukh that they will have to rally around to see the family through this crisis. Ba shouts at them and tells them that Mihir cannot be responsible for Mandira's pregnancy.

Mihir tells Ba that what everyone is accusing him of is true. She is shocked, but tells him that she will support him. JD tells Tulsi that Mihir needs her to understand his predicament. He tells Tulsi that Mihir is stuck in the same situation she would have been, if Mihir had returned after she had got married to Anupam.

Savita apologises to Tulsi for having shouted at her. She asks Tulsi to be patient with Mihir, but Tulsi is curt with her.

Pooja calls Hemant and asks him for help with some papers. Hemant tells Payal that Pooja had called, and she is not pleased.

Ba and Babuji tell Mihir that they are worried about Tulsi. Mihir asks them what he should do.

Gayatri and Savita want to tell Payal's parents about Mandira's pregnancy. Payal tells them this is a matter best left within the walls of the Virani household.

Mandira agrees to an abortion. Her mother is happy, but Anupam tells her that the damage is already done.

Tulsi refuses to talk to Mihir or even stay in a room with him. Savita finds her sleeping in the hall. She goes to their room and finds that Mihir is not there either.

Anupam and his mom take Mandira to her doctor for an abortion. The doctor tells her it is too late for an abortion. Mandira tells her she is willing to undertake any risk, but Anupam stops her. On their way out of the clinic, they bump into Kiran.

Ba takes Tulsi to the temple, where the pujari tells another couple that when a man and woman get married, they agree to accept the other's bad qualities, along with the good.

[amol]

Savita tells Tulsi to be more tolerant of Mihir. Anupam calls Mihir and tells him that the doctor has advised Mandira against an abortion.

Payal is worried that Hemant seems to be meeting Pooja often. Mandira asks Mihir to sign on the abortion papers, but her refuses. This incenses Tulsi further. Gayatri tells Savita that Tulsi should learn to be more tolerant.

Ba asks Mansukh to talk to Savita and ask her to be more lenient with Tulsi. Mansukh asks her to explain the situation to Savita herself.

Mandira tells Mihir that Anupam wants her to go away to some other city and give birth to her child.

Kiran tells Aarti that Payal is not worth trusting. Savita tells Tulsi not to vent her ire on everyone in the house.

Kiran, Mihir and JD wonder how to tackle the problems of Mandira and Payal. Payal tells Hemant to talk to Anupam to sort out Mihir's troubles.

A friend calls Savita and asks her if the rumours about Mandira and Mihir are true. Hemant tells Mihir that he saw him sleeping on the sofa at night. He tells Mihir he is worried about him and Tulsi. Mihir comes to know that Hemant got to know about Mandira's pregnancy via Payal. Mihir wonders how to tell Hemant about Payal.

Payal goes to meet Savita. They discuss Mihir's problem, Tulsi and Mandira.

Payal, who had spoken ill of Mandira to Hemant, decides to favour her in her conversation with Savita. JD and Mihir decide that it's high time Payal was stopped.

Hemant goes to Pooja's house to help her sort out Rajeev's financial and legal matters. Payal accompanies him. There, she overhears Hemant asking Pooja to call him whenever she needs help. She isn't pleased.

While Anupam and Mihir are at a restaurant finalising a business deal, a nosy friend of the Viranis comes over and asks Mihir if the rumours being circulated about him are true. Mihir is embarrassed, but Anupam shouts at the lady and walks off.

Pooja comes to Hemant's office to ask him for help with Rajeev's papers. Chirag comes to know that his aunt, Raksha, is coming over with her kids.

The entire Virani household wonders what chaos Raksha will create when she turns up, because she is famous for turning the house upside down. Raksha lands up at the airport and starts her antics.

Pooja joins Hemant's office. Payal sees her there and is not pleased. She invites Pooja to go shopping with her the next day. She then tells her mom that she has a plan up her sleeve.

Raksha tells Chirag that she knows all about his marriage to Prajakta, and that she will not let the woman who shattered her sister's dreams, live in peace.

Payal buys a colourful saree for Pooja and suggests to her that she should get remarried. She even shows her photographs of prospective grooms. Pooja realises what Payal is trying to tell her and leaves.

Mihir offers to help Tulsi shop for clothes for Gautam, but she snubs him. He follows her into the shop. Tulsi and Mihir then bump into Mandira, who is also shopping for baby clothes.

Mandira meets Savita on her way home and tells her not to blame Mihir for what has happened. Savita tells her that she understands her situation. Mandira then gives Savita a T-shirt for Gautam.

Tulsi sees Gautam in the T-shirt and is stunned - because she knows that Mandira had bought it. Savita saves the situation by telling her that she bought the T-shirt. But later, Savita tells her the truth.

Raksha and her kids drive Himmat out of his room and force him to sleep on the couch at night.

Payal gets Tulsi a gift. She then tells Tulsi that the T-shirt Gautam has been given has actually been bought by Mandira. She advises Tulsi to join hands with her, if she wants to get the better of her mother-in-law.

Tulsi then tells Savita that the T-shirt she bought has torn. She asks Savita to buy Gautam another one, instead of passing on a gift from someone else.

Ba tells Tulsi that her birthday is coming up, and she should perform a pooja along with Mihir. Tulsi is reluctant, but Ba persuades her to agree. Hemant, Chirag and the rest plan a party to celebrate Tulsi's birthday, which is also coming up soon.

Mihir leaves a card and flowers next to Tulsi's bed. She wakes up, discovers them, and tells him that the gift he has bought for her pales in comparision to the one he has given her before her birthday.

After the pooja is performed, Mihir leaves in a hurry. Tulsi wonders where he can be going. Ba then tells Tulsi that she wants her to accompany her to an exhibition set up by her fashion designing class. She then takes Tulsi to the venue of the birthday party.

Tulsi then cuts her birthday cake and gives the first piece to Mihir. Pooja comes to the party and leaves immediately. Mandira sends Tulsi a bouquet. Tulsi is furious. She tells Mihir that Mandira must have done this to spoil their happy moment. She flings the bouquet to the ground and leaves.

Mihir stops Tulsi and asks her why she is victimising him. Tulsi tells him she can tolerate anything, but not the fact that someone is trying to steal her husband from her.

Mandira calls Mihir and tells him she wants to meet him. He refuses. She then tells herself that she will win the battle to gain his love.

Payal tells Hemant that she did not like Pooja's presence at Tulsi's birthday party. Hemant is furious.

Mihir tells Savita that he is tired of facing daily battles. Savita tells him that he should not run away from Mandira, and that she needs his support at this stage.

Payal sees Pooja coming into her office and she lies to her that JD and Hemant are not in office. JD sees Pooja walking away. Mihir tells him that Payal has again leaked some secrets about a contract. JD tells him that he will throw Payal out of the office and Hemant's life soon.

Kesar meets Anupam and asks him why Mandira sent the bouquet on Tulsi's birthday. She asks him why he doesn't stop her from meeting Mihir. Anupam tells her Mandira does not listen to him. He tells her he has left everything to fate.

JD sees Raksha and her kids and hits upon a plan to deal with Payal.

Tulsi opens Savita's cupboard to take some silver vessels out. She sees the necklace that Savita and Gayatri had used to implicate her and it reminds her of her old rivalry with Savita. Tulsi then tells Savita that she will try to remain practical all her life and will let Gautam make his own decisions when he grows up.

Savita tells Gayatri and Payal that Mandira oftens calls Mihir, asking him to meet her. She says she is worried about how Tulsi will react. Payal tells her that since Mihir is the father of Mandira's child, he should support her.

Tarun waits for the principle's decision and is shocked to hear that he has rusticated him from the college. Ravi is tense about Janvi because he has not received any intimation of the ad, which he had given in the newspaper about Janvi missing. Mansukh informs Mihir that there has been total carelessness in the office after Tulsi has been kidnapped and asks Mihir if he could resume office. Mihir agrees. Priyanka, who is present there, hears the entire conversation and is tensed. Priyanka immediately calls her men and asks them to reach Vijaywada and keep an eye on Mihir. Priyanka also follows.

She is shocked to see Ravi at the police station. Ravi asks the inspector to publish Janvi's photograph saying that she has lost her memory and also to investigate the whole matter. After some days, Ravi reads the newspaper and something is written down in Kannada. He goes to a house where he meets up with a lady who tells him that she knows Janvi who was staying here, but no longer stays here since she has lost her husband.

She begins to tell them the whole story about what happened after the accident, and how Tulsi reached the hospital with the help of the man who took her with him, where she had tried various ways of killing Tulsi and she was unsuccessful. She asks her men to keep an eye on the man who has taken away Tulsi with him, either in his house or wherever. Raj and Manoj ask Priyanka is there is any old enmity which has forced her to take these kind of steps, to which Priyanka shuts them up by saying that it is none of there business to know all this, and when the time comes everybody would know.

Janvi is seated in front of the mirror. She tries to find out her identity. Ravi watches her and wonders if he could tell her that she is a widow. Ravi goes and sits with his family.

Tarun is scared of the whole fact that he has been rusticated from the college and now feels that how would everybody react.

Ganga comes and meets with Tarun and tells him that he is one hope in the family and that he should not let anyone down. Tarun is now more scared after hearing all this and leaves. Damini overhears the entire conversation. Here Savita feels that Pooja should do the garba immersions rather than Ganga or Damini doing it. Damini receives letters from the courier and starts reading the cover. She reads one letter in name of Tarun and opens the letter.

She is shocked to read that Tarun has been rusticated from college. She quietly goes to Ganga's room and puts the letter in the drawer and smiles.

Priyanka sees Sejal with the photographs and is happy to have sowed the seed of suspicion in Sejal's mind. Raj comes to Kesar's house and threatens her that he can reach Shantiniketan any moment. Harsh is in the club playing snooker. He wins and the prize is given away by the new managing partner, Mr Raj Bhasin. They begin the game and Raj makes a bet that if he wins, he will treat Harsh and vice versa and Harsh wins.

Mihir invites Ravi for dinner. Meanwhile, Harsh is confused about why his tastes are so different from his siblings. Things like why he loves Halwa while Gautam and Shobha love Khandvi, makes him feel that he is different from others.

Tulsi is accused by the entire family and is demanded an explanation for her absence for the past four months. She repeats her plea about not being able to remember anything.

The entire family sympathises with Tulsi. Mihir meets Raj Bhasin, who tells him that if he gets to know the real secret, everything will turn upside down. He tells him that he is being meeting Tulsi from four months. Mihir is shocked.
