Kumkum Bhagya 14th May 2023 Written Update: The episode begins with Ranbir confronting Prachi, saying, “You think of me as wrong, and you claim neither of us is innocent nor foolish.” Prachi retorts, stating that he would have done what was right and not betrayed her if he were truly innocent. Ranbir, confused, asks her to speak openly about what she means. Pallavi intervenes, suggesting that Prachi is too angry to have a calm conversation, fearing it might lead to a scene. Prachi comments on Pallavi’s statement, expressing her frustration.
Vikram steps in, requesting Prachi to sit down for a calm discussion. However, Prachi insists on speaking without interruption, claiming to have experienced numerous betrayals already. Ranbir, attempting to avoid the topic of betrayal, suggests that they don’t talk about it. Prachi firmly asserts that she can no longer tolerate everything she has endured and voices her grievances. Amid her speech, she coughs, and Rhea rushes to get her some water. Prachi rejects the water, pushing it away.
Concerned, Rhea asks Prachi if she is alright. Prachi, visibly upset, questions why the truth was concealed from her when they are twins and accuses Rhea of hiding it intentionally. Rhea apologizes, admitting that she had intended to reveal the truth but failed. Ranbir interjects, inviting Prachi to question him but reminding her that he, too, will have questions for her.
Prachi dismisses his offer, asserting that she had already discovered Ranbir’s claim of being Khushi’s biological father and undergoing a DNA test. She demands to know why he hid this information from her. Feeling accused as usual, Ranbir defends himself, explaining that he didn’t disclose Khushi’s existence because Prachi hid that she was alive for six years. Vikram urges Ranbir to stop the argument.
Ranbir accuses Prachi of playing the victim card and insists that she swear on Khushi, revealing her reasons for hiding her desire to adopt Khushi. Prachi reveals that she discovered that Khushi is Panchi. Rhea reacts with joy, expressing relief that the truth has been uncovered. Prachi, however, accuses Rhea of feigning happiness and points out that Ranbir’s well-being matters more to her than Prachi’s own. She accuses Rhea of intentionally withholding the truth from her when she has the opportunity to reveal it. Ranbir interrupts, announcing that Panchi will stay with him.
Prachi insists on taking Khushi with her and calls out to her daughter. Ranbir stops Prachi, firmly stating that he will protect her and not let anyone take Panchi away from him. He suggests that Prachi can visit Khushi at his place but cannot take her away. Ignoring his plea, Prachi remains determined to take her daughter with her.
Ranbir grabs her hand to stop her, but Prachi warns him not to challenge her. Ranbir urges her to reconsider, but Prachi remains resolute, declaring that she will take her daughter with her. Ranbir angrily pushes her out, and Prachi falls to the ground. Pallavi questions Prachi about her absence, snapping her out of her daze.
Pallavi inquires about what happened, and Prachi explains that she learned from the orphanage that Khushi is missing, and they are searching for her in places where she might be. As Prachi turns around, she spots Avni, who reveals they are also searching for Khushi. Pallavi informs them that Khushi is not in the house, but Prachi insists they continue searching and requests permission to look around. Ran
Ranbir reluctantly grants them permission, and Prachi, accompanied by Avni, enters the house to search for Khushi. Inside, Prachi notices that Daljeet, Ranbir’s confidante, appears tense. Sensing an opportunity, Prachi approaches Daljeet and asks her about Khushi’s whereabouts. Daljeet denies any knowledge of Khushi’s location. Prachi, making a rude comment, confidently states that they will soon find Khushi in this house.
Suspicious of Avni’s presence, Daljeet questions her intentions. Avni explains that they are searching for Khushi as Prachi has filed charges against their orphanage and the person responsible for abducting Khushi. Worried about escalating, Daljeet discreetly messages Ranbir, requesting his immediate presence.
Meanwhile, Vikram confronts Ranbir, expressing his concern about his actions. Feeling overwhelmed, Ranbir admits his confusion about handling the situation. He vents his frustrations about Prachi to his family and Rhea. Realizing Ranbir’s misguided approach, Rhea approaches him and advises him against his current course of action. Daljeet interrupts their conversation and convinces Ranbir to accompany her, urging the rest of the family to act normally.
Daljeet takes Ranbir away, leaving the others behind. The scene shifts back to Prachi and Avni, who continue their search for Khushi in Ranbir’s house. Unbeknownst to them, Khushi hides under the bed, following Daljeet’s instructions to remain there until further notice. As the episode reaches a critical point, tensions rise, and the search for Khushi intensifies, leaving the fate of Ranbir, Prachi, and their families in balance.
