BhagyaLakshmi
On August 12, 2024, the ongoing tension between Rishi and Lakshmi escalated into a heated argument. The episode began with Lakshmi noticing that the beds in Rishi’s room were separated, which left her puzzled. Shortly after, Neelam entered Rishi’s room, prompting Lakshmi to send her daughter, Parvati, away under the guise of a reason. Neelam, accompanied by Malishka, Aanchal, and Karishma, began to criticize Lakshmi, reminding her that this was Rishi’s room and implying that she had no right to be there. In response, Lakshmi questioned if they had anything better to do than to pester her.

Neelam retorted, stating that they had no other priority than to protect their family. Lakshmi, unfazed by their comments, reminded them that her presence in the house was only due to a court order, urging them to stop accusing her. Malishka, however, continued to argue, accusing Lakshmi of trying to stay in Rishi’s room intentionally. Lakshmi clarified that she would stay in the guest room and mentioned that she was there solely for her daughter, Parvati. She also asked Neelam to instruct Rishi not to approach her with any marital responsibilities.

As the conversation unfolded, Harleen and Rishi overheard the exchange. After Lakshmi left the room, Rishi followed her. He confronted Lakshmi, questioning how she could behave in such a manner. Rishi acknowledged that Lakshmi had suffered but pointed out that the family had suffered as well. Lakshmi, in turn, expressed her frustration, explaining that she never blamed anyone for the wrongs that happened to her, yet everyone in the house blamed her. She reiterated that her only reason for being there was her daughter, Parvati, and mentioned how Malishka had even offered her money to leave the city, suspecting that Lakshmi was trying to reconcile with Rishi.

Rishi, trying to defend the family, asked Lakshmi to stop acting like they were always targeting her. However, the argument took a turn when Rishi said something that he quickly regretted. Realizing his mistake, he apologized to Lakshmi, but she walked away, leaving Rishi to follow her once more.

Meanwhile, Anushka, who overheard the argument, wasted no time in reporting it to Neelam and the others. The group felt a sense of satisfaction, as Neelam remarked that they should make Lakshmi’s life miserable, with the goal of forcing her to leave the house. Neelam then approached Malishka, advising her to attack Lakshmi’s self-respect, which she believed was Lakshmi’s weakness.

Anushka, curious about Malishka’s reaction, asked how she was feeling. Malishka, with a renewed sense of determination, realized that they needed to make Rishi pity them and shift the blame onto Lakshmi. She believed that if Rishi saw them as victims, he would defend them. Anushka agreed, noting that they had many supporters who would back their plan.
Later, Rishi approached Lakshmi once again, apologizing for his earlier harsh words, admitting that he spoke out of anger. Lakshmi, still hurt, made a subtle comment in response. Despite the tension, Lakshmi prepared Puran Poli, a traditional sweet dish, for the children. Rishi, noticing the food, asked her to prepare some for him as well, claiming he was hungry. Lakshmi responded that she was making it for the children because she loved them. Rishi couldn’t help but recall how Lakshmi used to love him, but Lakshmi’s response hinted that those feelings had changed.
Meanwhile, Neelam had a discussion with Aanchal and Karishma, giving them free rein to do whatever was necessary to drive Lakshmi out of the house. The episode concluded with the sense that the battle lines were drawn, and the tension in the household was far from resolved.
