The episode of Kumkum Bhagya 3 September 2024 begins with Poorvi confronting RV about his recent behavior towards his mother. Poorvi is visibly upset as she questions RV on how he spoke to his mother. She reminds him that no mother would ever want her child to be spoken to in such a manner. Poorvi insists that RV’s mother has every right to scold him, and that as her son, he should never be upset with her, not even for Poorvi’s sake. Poorvi emphasizes that his mother is always right in her place, and if she feels Poorvi is wrong, then so be it.
RV tries to justify his actions, stating that his mother was wrong and that it wasn’t Poorvi’s fault. However, Poorvi firmly tells him that he should not have argued with his mother, even if it was for her. She explains that as a child, it’s his duty to respect and listen to his mother. Poorvi elaborates on the sacrifices a mother makes for her child, saying that no one can compare to a mother’s love and devotion.
She tells RV that even if his mother is wrong, he should still respect her words and make her understand calmly. Poorvi concludes by saying that she cannot be happy if RV continues to hurt his mother. She then asks RV to apologize to his mother and to call Nethra to confirm their engagement, ensuring RV that she will stand by him no matter what.
RV, although hesitant, goes to Harleen’s room to apologize. Harleen immediately questions if Poorvi had taught him something to say. Vaishali, RV’s relative, interjects by stating that women are often the root cause of problems in a household. RV, however, asserts that his intention is to apologize to his mother for hurting her. He acknowledges that living together as a family can lead to disagreements, but insists that he is sorry for his actions. RV reluctantly agrees to the engagement with Nethra, as the court date is drawing near, and they must follow through with the plan to avoid legal trouble.
As the engagement preparations continue, Harleen greets the guests. Neha, one of the guests, arrives and immediately starts questioning Harleen about the absence of the Pandit ji (priest). Harleen reassures her that the Pandit ji will arrive soon. Neha, sensing some tension, sarcastically comments that Harleen might be upset because the engagement is happening too quickly. Harleen coldly responds, saying she doesn’t want Neha to marry RV or become the daughter-in-law of their house, as she believes no one is worthy of that position. Monisha, overhearing this, approaches Neha and tries to calm her down, but Neha, still angry, vows to take revenge for the insult.
Meanwhile, Poorvi is seen looking at RV and Neha’s engagement card, feeling a mix of sadness and helplessness. Diya, her friend, arrives and notices Poorvi’s distress. Poorvi explains that Neha had the engagement cards printed and sent them out to her friends. Diya tries to comfort her, reminding her that this engagement is just a charade. Poorvi, however, cannot shake off the sadness, fearing that this lie might become a reality. Diya encourages Poorvi to stay strong and not to let this situation affect her.
In another scene, RV discusses with Yug, a family friend, how Poorvi’s actions are making him feel like a sacrificial lamb. Yug tries to console RV, but their conversation is interrupted when Dadu and Vikrant enter the room, sensing that Poorvi had given Yug some tasks. Dadu informs RV that Poorvi was deeply saddened when she saw the engagement card.
As the family members gather, Deepika notices that something is brewing in Nethra’s mind and discusses it with Monisha. Monisha cryptically mentions that Nethra is trying to align herself with RV’s enemies, specifically with Jassi. At this moment, Dadi takes Monisha aside and convinces her to help RV out of the situation with Nethra. Dadi assures Monisha that if she can protect RV from Nethra, RV will be hers. Monisha agrees to help, but Neha, who hears the conversation, begins planning her next step.
RV, confused by Poorvi’s sadness, questions why she is so affected by a fake engagement. Harman, another family member, acknowledges that Nethra is manipulative and is using their situation to her advantage. The family discusses how Nethra has been threatening them, forcing them into compliance.
Poorvi then shares her plan to expose Nethra. She introduces the idea of using a truth serum to reveal Nethra’s true intentions, ensuring that once the truth is out, they can confront her. The family agrees with Poorvi’s plan and praises her for her cleverness. They decide to keep the plan a secret and to entertain the guests in the meantime. RV tries to show affection towards Poorvi, but hesitates, leaving him wondering what he was about to do.
The episode ends with a determined Poorvi vowing to save her marriage and her husband. Yug, disguised as a waiter, enters the scene, hinting that the plan to expose Nethra is about to unfold.
Precap: Poorvi resolves to save her marriage and protect her husband. Yug, in disguise, appears at the engagement ceremony, ready to play.
