On August 12th, 2024, a significant incident occurred in the lives of the characters in the drama series “Pukaar.” The episode opens with Saraswati, who is deeply emotional after reuniting with Vedika (known as Jahnvi) after a long gap of 20 years. The reunion is heartfelt, as Saraswati shares her eagerness to reunite with Yamini as well. Both women are overcome with emotion and share a warm hug, marking a poignant moment.
Pukaar- Saraswati compares herself and Padma to Lord Krishna’s mother
Padma, who is also present, requests Saraswati to allow Vedika to spend the night with them. In a touching exchange, Saraswati compares herself and Padma to Lord Krishna’s mother, emphasizing their mutual love for Vedika. She reassures the Sharmas that Vedika is also their daughter. Saraswati then humorously suggests that it’s Padma who should seek their permission, hinting at the strong bonds of affection that tie them together. Vedika, in turn, scolds them playfully, reminding them to consider what she wants as well.
Pukaar- Sagar flirts with Vedika
As the Sharmas prepare to leave, Sagar arrives and insists on accompanying them to their house. Saraswati also encourages them to accept Sagar’s offer, and they agree. However, before Vedika can follow the others, Sagar pulls her aside, catching her by surprise. He flirts with her, teasing that since their marriage was arranged 20 years ago, they have nothing to fear about showing their affection openly. The playful banter between the two continues, with Sagar revealing that he recognizes her as his Jahnvi and that he cannot hide anything from her. Just as Sagar leans in to kiss Vedika, Padma calls out to her, forcing Vedika to leave and leaving Sagar visibly annoyed.
Pukaar- Lolly seeks the opinions regarding Jahnvi’s return
Meanwhile, Lolly, another character in the story, seeks the opinions of Rajeshwari and Digvijay regarding Jahnvi’s return to their lives. Both Rajeshwari and Digvijay react with irritation, brushing off Lolly’s questions and leaving the scene. Lolly then turns to Saraswati for her thoughts, and Saraswati expresses her happiness about Jahnvi’s return.
Sagar, in another gesture of affection, takes blessings from the Sharmas, which prompts Vedika to question his actions. Sagar explains that since they will soon be related by marriage, it’s only fitting to seek their blessings. However, this interaction annoys Rajeshwari and Digvijay, who are visibly displeased with the growing bond between Sagar and Vedika.
Pukaar- Sagar confronts Koel and Mayuri
The episode takes a dramatic turn with the unexpected arrival of Koel and Mayuri at the Maheswari house, shocking everyone. Rajeshwari and Digvijay are particularly concerned, fearing that the mother-daughter duo might reveal secrets that could cause more trouble for them. Sagar confronts Koel and Mayuri, demanding to know how they managed to get out of prison. Both women remain silent, heightening the tension. Rajeshwari also questions them, but instead of answering directly, Mayuri puts on a dramatic show of repentance, with Koel joining in.
Koel and Mayuri announce their decision to leave the city, but not before Koel is confronted by Vedika, who questions her about knowing her whereabouts. Koel manages to convince Vedika with a lie, and then, in front of the entire family, she explains that her past actions were driven by a lack of choice, while Mayuri backs up her story with a fabricated tale of hardship following the death of Koel’s father.
Vedika, though initially convinced, expresses her disappointment in Koel for lying to her. Saraswati, on the other hand, refuses to forgive Koel, which deeply hurts Koel, who is confused about why Saraswati’s words affect her so much. Mayuri reminds Koel to continue with their act. In a climactic moment, Rajeshwari pushes Mayuri, causing her to fall, and in the process, the Maheswari’s sacred Kalash topples over, shocking everyone present.
The episode closes on a suspenseful note, with Koel declaring to Saraswati that she is the real Jahnvi, which prompts a fierce reaction from Vedika, who insists that she is the true Jahnvi. This confrontation leads to Saraswati’s health deteriorating, setting the stage for more drama to unfold in future episodes.
