Kumkum Bhagya 18th August 2021 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
The Episode starts with Dida coming to Prachi’s room and sees her crying holding her mother’s photoframe. Dida asks if she is missing her. Prachi says I miss her daily, but feeling like crying too. Dida asks if she is feeling bad to get scolded. Prachi says no, Mummy is elder than me and can scold me, and tells that she did such work to get scolding. She says she showed trust in me, but I fell down and fell down in everyone’s sight. She says I have ruined the image of the house, it is good that Rhea handled. Dida asks Prachi to rectify her mistake and so such work that Pallavi appreciates her. Prachi says if I do something wrong again. Dida says you are saying this holding your mother’s pic. Prachi goes to the window and says you said right, my mother has taught me to fight with all problems and never give up. Dida says she is feeling that Pragya is standing infront of her. She asks if she knows to make chole. Prachi says yes, but not like market. Dida says it will be tasty. Prachi thanks her for her support. Dida says she will always support her until she is alive. Prachi hugs her. Rhea looks at them and thinks she will get the keys. Ranbir comes home and hugs Dida. He asks about the guests. Dida says everyone went. She asks him to go and meet Prachi. She asks him to keep her happy. Ranbir says how to keep her happy? Dida says shall I teach you. Ranbir says he gets happy when Prachi is happy. Dida says this house is happy when you are happy. He asks Soni, where is Prachi? Soni says in the kitchen. Ranbir says she must be making tea for me. Soni says she is checking the bulb. Ranbir asks if she is electrician. Dida says she is sarvagun sampan. Ranbir goes to kitchen and holds Rhea, thinking her to be Prachi. He then says I missed you and asks why she didn’t call. He says it seems like he didn’t meet her since years. Prachi comes there and gets shocked seeing Ranbir hugging Rhea. Rhea says Ranbir, its me. She moves back. Ranbir is shocked and says sorry Rhea, I thought….Rhea goes. Prachi looks upset and goes from there, while Ranbir tries to clarify. Rhea comes to her room and feels his touch. She gets restless and goes to bathroom, stands under the shower. She sits down and cries.
Ranbir comes to room and clarifies that when he came home, he asked Soni about her. He says Soni said that you are in kitchen and that’s why I thought to surprise you. He says I see your face in every girl. Prachi says since when this is going on and that’s why you hugged Rhea. She asks him not to do this infront of her. Ranbir says where there is love, there shall not be doubt. She says I know that you love me so much that you call me many times and keep me in your heart and thoughts. Ranbir says how can you think that I can hug Rhea. Prachi says when did I say this? She says when I was coming out of kitchen, you was only clarifying. He asks if you are not upset with me. Prachi says why will I be? Ranbir asks if she is not doubting him. Prachi reminds him of his own words. He asks then why did she react? Prachi says she was teasing him. She says when you love then think of trusting me and tells that she can never think that Rhea will do something, as she is changed. She knows that her love was now her sister’s husband. She says she doesn’t want this Ranbir and she helped me today, I am telling that she is changed. Ranbir says I am happy that you got both mayka and sasural, and also happy that you are happy with Rhea. He says after Sid’s marriage, he is nowhere seen between us. Prachi says he wants to marry girl like me. Ranbir says Rhea is not like old girl, who was after me, now she is your jethani.
Rhea is resting on the bed and gets restless thinking about Ranbir. Sid comes there and asks if she is sleeping. She pretends to be sleeping. Sid covers blanket on her and rests beside her. Rhea removes the blanket from her. Sid thinks room is chilled and she don’t want to cover herself.
Ranbir wakes up in night and finds Prachi missing from bed. He comes to her and finds her learning to make chole batura. Prachi tells him that Mummy assigned them to make chole batura, for the special guests in tomorrow’s lunch. He says you didn’t put any effort for me before. Prachi says I know that you will not get upset with me, and will also love me and that’s why I don’t need to do any extra efforts. Ranbir says my love is taken for granted. Prachi says it is not like that, and says husband and wife’s relation are such, whatever happens, bitterness doesn’t come, but in other relations, she has to put all the efforts. She says Mummy has accepted us and regarded me as her bahu. She tells that she wants to do extra effort to cheer her up. Ranbir says my mother’s anger is like hot oil which remains hot for longer time. Prachi says all mothers are same, I know she is upset with me, and tomorrow she will be happy. Ranbir says we shall sleep. They lie down on the bed. Rhea gets up thinking about Ranbir’s words and his words echoes in her ears.
Pragya is going out. Shagun tries to stop her and asks her to go from back door. Pragya ignoes her suggestions and opens the main door. She finds Media standing and bombarding questions on her, asking what will be her action. Pragya says you will know soon, as lie can’t withstand for long. The other reporter says gaurav is calling you as liar. Other reporter asks about her countless marriages happened in self defence. Pragya is shocked and says she is not answerable to anyone. The reporter says Gaurav thapar is right, you are aggressive and can do anything in anger. Pragya asks them to get out. Shagun tries to make them go out, along with the Lawyer. Lawyer closes the door and tells Pragya that she shall not talk to media like that. Sushma takes Pragya inside. The lawyer tells that she shall not be aggressive and whenever anyone questions her, she shall say no comments. Pragya says they were trying to make me angry, so that they get new story. He asks Pragya to take a big action. Sushma says your senior lawyer whom we have hired, suggested your name, as you are expert. The lawyer says Media is multiplying the things told by Gaurav and is making the story, that Pragya got married for money and changes husbands for money. Pragya says I already heard this. She asks what we shall do? The lawyer says if you have to make media quiet and save your respect, then you shall bring the person back in your life, whom you had married for the first time, and shall say that your marriage never broke and you have to stay with your husband again to save your image.
Precap: Tanu comes to Pragya and says I am selling my husband Pragya. Pallavi tells Prachi and Rhea, that their relation is not just with their husbands, but with other family members too, without doing any mistake. Tanu tells Pragya that Abhi can become your husband, if you could give the right price for him. Rhea gets aggressive and tells herself that this time she will plan and Prachi will lose.

I hope Rhea doesn’t poison the guests food in order to win😳
Oh……… poor pitiful Prachi , to think Rhea has changed………
I agree Prachi is gullible, but I also think rhea has changed a bit. When Ranbir hugged her accidentally, she felt uncomfortable and felt aside. She’s trying to move on with life and forget him. Let’s see if she manages to do that or gets back to her old track.
*stepped aside
Pragya shouldn’t marry Abhi again no matter what happens. First of all, Abhi doesn’t worth even a penny that Pragya has to pay to Tanu for marrying Abhi. Secondly, if Pragya take the help of Abhi to keep her image intact, then it will further fuel the ego of that useless Abhi.
Yes I agree with you. If she marries Abhi, her motive of revenge and all her transformation efforts will go in vain.
I don’t agree with u totally
She should marry abhi finally because I am a abhigya fan but not in this manner and also she should not accept tanu’s offer
@Princess
It’s ok if u don’t agree with us as u r a Abhigya fan. I can understand everyone has different choices. But I’m not a Abhigya fan, I never liked how Abhi misbehaved with Pragya after their marriage, how Abhi remained silent most of the times when Tanu n Aaliya insulted Pragya, how Abhi himself mistrusted n insulted Pragya many times. For me, Abhi is a spineless, dumb, egoistic, short tempered, gullible, useless person. For me, Abhigya’s love story reeks of toxicity n misogyny. But I understand ur choice and u should understand mine.
Did Prachi marry Ranbir or Rhea I can’t tell and 1 thing is 4 sure Rhea is gonna do something big but the real ? is who is gonna win the keys and wait a min did Ranbir forgive Rhea based on today’s episode or…… O dear god
So……… Rhea ‘ felt ‘ Ranbir’s touch today , so is gonna covet for him again ??
Oh god , that will interesting , Rhea trying to woo Ranbir right under noses of her husband AND Ranbir’s wife 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah judging by her reactions today it seems like old feelings for him have resurfaced 🤦♀️😩. It would make sense tho every love story has a villain, Rhea was and always will be a villain in Pranbir’s life. I think she’s going to fall for him again whilst also ruining Prachi and then misunderstandings will crop up between Pranbir and they’ll split and blah blah we know what happens next. I’ve seen it in almost all Ektas shows. But I hope this time it’s different..because it’s Pranbir one thing I really like about them is that their relationship has a different kind of bliss and uniqueness I don’t want them to have the same fate as Abhigya.
Lol pranbir is completely different from Abhigaya tho I’m sure there will be fights with pranbir regarding rhea tho and hundred percent sure it’ll be mostly from Prachi’s side based on her insane love 4 rhea pretty sure ranbir or dida will find something off 😅
Rhea becomes ‘restless’ after a touch/hug from Ranbir? And she has to lie down to process the experience? What is this? A drama from the 1700-1800’s? Assuming Sid was a virgin and Rhea as well, the girl is married and supposedly no longer a virgin. Wow. Rhea has an affectation written especially for the screen.
@Akituster
Considering the manner in which they got married , I doubt whether they have consummated their marriage yet , because while Sid may have had feelings for Rhea already , Rhea definitely doesn’t think that way about him and since this is NOT 1700-1800 , they would not… advance further without Rhea’s consent
@Colin
Fair enough Colin. Clearly, I made an assumption. You know, college girl. Drug addict possibly for two years. Past promiscuous clothing style. (I’m not trying to be judgemental about clothing, but the comments from the scene where she wore ripped jeans led me to believe that in India to dress in a certain way was to to send a particular message. That’s wrong, but is that not a reality in India? And they are sleeping in the same bed. And she appeared to be rather anxious to be a wife when she outside the Kohli home and was being introduced to Pallavi. I don’t want to be informed that she actually ‘loves’ Ranbir and is pining for him. Otherwise, they should be in separate bedrooms and waiting for the day that they can legally dissolve the marriage.
@Akituster
Do you think , that at this point as matters stand , Rhea has any hope of getting Ranbir ?? She knows she cannot get him by any front door means , so that means using back door ways
First of all she will need to separate PRANBIR , considering that love and trust each other , creating rift between them is going to be time consuming task , with all the while her requiring to be near them to monitor the situation , which requires authentic reason to be around them.
Now , I agree that Pallavi would have taken her in just like that : a kind of refugee ?? BUT now she has already gotten married to a Kohli boy , she has much more respectable and authentic position in Kohli family. Why would she waste it ??
And as for her residing in same bedroom with Sid , well , this wouldn’t be first show would it , to show this kind of drama. She could have told him that they should wait before consummating marriage , get know each other better. And she has already gauged Sid. She knows his nature , that he will respect her will. Will respect her Honour. So she has no fear as such , to be in same bedroom with him , on same bed.
KKB is insisting on impossibleness of a peaceful family life with the traditional indian rules. I thing that is the only positive outcome of the show if people can conclude it from the mess.
KKB is a serial where the number and strength of the crimes limitless but there is no sentence even the murderer
And the value based characters always suffers. It means that they are trying to tell to people to avoid doing good things, if you don’t want to be punished. And the people who are never afraid of committing ofense get big awards in life.
In KKB is a crime adicted serials but it is hard to tolarate the love triangle between relatives. Globally it is a rare case but in KKB it is handled as an ordinary daily event. Shameful
I’d say it is a HATE ADDICTED serial. It promotes hate. This hate is then used to justify any and every crime. the criminals aren’t that smart. they keep doing the same thing over and over again. the serial is possible because any opposition to the hate comes from clearly DUMB women and useless men… characters. The producer/creator is mirrored perfectly and is claiming that all of India thinks and lives this way. What bothers me is that India herself has not stopped this show. When you hear growing racism towards Indians here in the West, you have to ask why India allows such shameful productions to even exist. Shows with these attitudes of surreal hate and corruption only fuel the racism and disgust for Indian culture.
@akituster
U r right. The shows n films like these play a major role in portraying a poor image of India in front of the world. Btw, if u don’t mind me asking, where r u from?
Sometimes I have watched debates on hindi channels. I was shocked to see the host was torturing his guests who were not sharing the views of the host. None of the opposers have find a chance to complete even a sentence.
@STRYwrt
I agree with u. Actually, most of the media here in India, is biased. So, most of the channels show debates not to show the reality, but to create a propogenda. Both Far Left n Far Right media houses show the news n debates according to their own agenda, not according to the reality.
@Jyoti Srivastava Born in India. Immigrated by parents to Canada as a toddler. Lived in other countries. I truly identify as an ‘honest adult human’ and feel somehow connected to many cultures and many peoples. Every culture offers both sides of the coin of ‘good’ ‘bad’. I know (like all, who comment) that my comments reflect only a slice of who I am. lol. I’m not producing a serial where my creativity/heart/thinking would be laid bare!! and the joke might be on me as I have been recently encouraged (loudly) to become a video creator. Scary.
@STRYwrt. yes. the biggest democracy in the world does a lot of censorship, currently to the detriment of all of India. But, the ‘not complaining’ when being bullied, I found was common in society. I saw it still, the last time that I was in India. So much is left unsaid and certain individuals in the family are not heard, but rather denied. And they accept it. Even in the educated world traveler, class.
I hope rhea doesn’t disturb Pranbir’s married life
@Keerthi
That’s implicitly included in her job profile : to make trouble for PRANBIR
😂😂😂
🤣🤣
Wait a minute if Pragya does the deal then it will ruin her image. Hopefully she will remember when she talks to Tanu what the lawyer said-she should save her respect and image and not ruin it by bringing another woman’s husband into the house.
And if Pragya brings Abhi into her house, that means the two A-T will also live in the house because I don’t think they will live in chawl.
Besides, is this not a reason for a new misunderstanding: Pragya brings Abhi into the house not because she still loves him but because she wants to clean up her image. 🤔
No need to bring abhi back in pragya’s life!!!!!
This would give aliya and tanu one more chance to malign her image………
At least this time , it will not be easy for Rhea to get close to Ranbir.
She can easily fool Prachi ( basically she doesn’t need to , why would you need to FOOL (a verb) a fool
( a noun) ?? ) and maybe create rift between PRANBIR , but then there’s also Sid to deal with. It will not be easy to separate with him , since that will ruin her reputation in his eyes
Prachi has to be a fool for the story to work and go ahead.
@Manjusri Sen
Yeah , it’s sad.
TBH I fell in love with Prachi because of her first interaction with Rhea : How Rhea tried to rag her and Prachi turned tables on her. Here was a fearless girl that doesn’t tolerate injustice and doesn’t hesitate to do tit for tat , no matter what the status of the bully. Much later on she even confronted Maya’s father and bade papa fearlessly , and didn’t shy back from even taunting them.
So it’s real sad to see her character getting butchered to this degree : she has become a woman who is almost salivating for a little bit of approval and validation from her mother in law who doesn’t even consider part of the family
Rhea already has experience in how to frame Ranbir, she can do it again. It’s Maya’s business, but this time she can act as a victim herself. Get Ranbir drunk, lie down next to him, and then make sure that they were caught together. To make Ranbir guilty and himself a victim, who will be blamed in this case?
Naaa I doubt they’re gonna do that cuz it’ll be similar 2 Abhigaya then and they’re trying 2 separate the stories between them and besides that wouldn’t even work since Sid wouldn’t leave rhea and Prachi won’t doubt ranbir
Finally after ages Ranbir returned but later on he won’t be as the actor has gone on holiday so we won’t be seeing him much for now 😭 and eww I hated Ranbir hugging Rhea it was so uncomfortable to watch even though it was a mistake. But omg whats with Rhea after Ranbir touched her? Please god I hope she doesn’t gain feelings for him again 🙏🏼😩
Thank god they also changed the precap and I think Tanu is defo planning something she is obsessed with Abhi since many years and did everything to get him she wouldn’t let him go easily 😂
@Riya
Where did you get news that Krishna has gone on holiday ??
I don’t understand the writers take on pragya. She has been married to only one man in her entire life so how could they not have her using that as her evidence of her character instead of cowering and making herself look guilty. It just doesn’t make any sense. Now they are telling her to make back with her ex husband,who is supposedly married to a next woman,although technically he’s still pragyas husband before tanu’s. Do they just expect that he would leave his wife for herif if he was in live with his wife? Or do they want her to hi back with him even though she’s moved on? This just doesn’t make any sense.
And Pragya is still behaving stupidly. Why hasn’t she recorded the tuna-fish’s offer. why won’t she expose the aliyah-tuna-fish. Pragya has to be stupid in order for the story to work.
If the storyline was all sugar and spice and all that is nice…none of you commentators would have much to say because you will all be bored to death..that’s why these serials go the direction they are prone to happen..how else would Ekta Kapoor get viewers to watch her shitty repetitive stories!!!! Nothing sells as lucrative trash, people enjoy this, something to talk about… don’t understand why EK can’t take a page out ot this comment section..change the storytelling just like how the viewers change from time to time!! I’m yet to see the same names posting comments here by the same people over the years gone by.
If you have been doing that reading, then you will have noticed that a number of ‘viewers’ that come here are not even watching, but rather are here for the update and the commentary. I think it has been a real education to watch the comments! The comments themselves, change in ‘personality’ depending on which country the show has become popular. Obviously, Ms Kapoor has chosen to expand her base through appealing to a younger generation. All ‘entertainment’ from time immemorial is for community gathering and has been used by leaders as the opportunity for the community to learn and most important to address and process emotions, fears etc. Corrupt leaders use entertainment to control, direct attention and often to teach false beliefs to their population. I still maintain that any student of humanity should watch a show like this simply to learn how these principles are being employed in the real world. You must be willing, able and be interested to see the big picture. it is an education to also watch your own emotional reactions …if watching… as they are an indicator of any emotional debris that you could be healing or releasing, on a personal level. After all, that is why a viewer would react. When they have either witnessed or been subjected to unfairness, judgement, liars etc etc. a normal viewer would want this to stop. Entertainment produced anywhere, reflects the morals and mores of the region where it is produced. This production creates a terrible view of India, regardless of the fact that some viewers respond, “oh, it’s just entertainment.” These viewers, fairly, are not interested in anyting more than having their emotional strings pulled and pushed. this would be the target audience. I have found this show to be an invaluable education… as one small element of a greater study in or of ‘human nature’. How else will you learn unless you jump in and experience? If it exists, then there is always something available to learn… as long as you are capable of separating yourself from the ruckus and are able to honestly observe.
Well stated
Did any1 else notice Pallavi’s reaction when Ranbir was talking abt Prachi man Poor guy has 2 insane girls after him and 1 of them is his mother who acts like his gf instead of his mom…
from today episode i just hate makers how they can show rhea ranbir together
IKR like wat that rly necessary I was abt 2 puke ughh
I think it was liking hinting at future storyline………. today Ranbir’s actions likely awakened the slumbering obsession for him in Rhea’s heart , maybe now she will try to inch closer to him
Well good luck with that storyline. Before prnabir marriage fans hated rr scenes and now if they restart the love traingle then fans will get more aggressive this time.
Keep in mind that the actress who plays Rhea is a special friend of Ekta Kapoor. A favourite. Of course the story line is going to push her screen time!! I find it rather humourous the Ms Kapoor’s favourites have a tendency to play evil characters. Just makes you wonder what emotional debris she is repeating endlessly in a circular fashion. I repeat, the storyline is going to reflect the personal issues of the creator. Circular Mind? Focus on unrepentant Evil? Greedy beyond imagination? Willing to use blackmail, threats, theft, corrupt political connections, any thing blasphemous in order to secure more money or power? Gee, that sounds like aliyah-tuna-fish, Nikhil, Rhea (both of them). and then call it a love story? yes, as Ekta’s current group of ‘favourites’, of course Rhea will have more screen time. Why shouldn’t she have her fair share of time being hugged by the handsome young man on set? (sarcasm in the last sentence, while imagining the actress pouting to her ‘mentor’)
Pragya please marry abhi please
LOL. Pragya is someone’s daughter. Would you ask your daughter to marry a lying, abusive, cheating, very dumb person? Who is an alcoholic? Sure, he can be a nice person for 5 minutes or 15 minutes or a few months separated by months, then seven years then twenty years? Would you really advise your daughter to marry a man who gave you one years worth of happiness (broken into smaller pieces) over a thirty plus years of time? That doesn’t sound like love. That sounds like cruelty for the pleasure of criminals.
When KKB made last 2 years leap we said that they have a single choice to do to attract the audience that is to develop the story to make a closure of crimes. But they didn’t do it. It means they will continue to air repeattative stupid tortures. KKB made them richer they couldn’t stop dragging
“They” like it when fandom demands a change. It makes them feel more powerful. Adrenaline rush. They gloat. So they do more of the same, knowing full well, that they will need their adrenaline rush and a reason to gloat. And it is easy to attract fans. Have you ever watched someone ‘gloat’. it’s sickening. Their body actually pulsates at imperceptible levels…. just like a drug addict who is finally getting a deeply needed fresh dose. And they need bigger and bigger doses of the kind of suffering that gets them to the ‘gloating’ stage. Think Ekta Kapoor. Why are her favourites always young women? If it is still available on the internet, search out Ekta Kapoor’s childhood and young adult history. It will explain a lot about this show and why certain storylines are so important to this producer. and if the article says, it’s just rumours… well then you will know that are you are seeing a very tiny amount of truth because the real truth isn’t really printable.
There it goes again ! Shady should file a complaint against Abhi and pragya😒
Hey Zara, thanks for the reply above assuming it was meant for me. And who is Shady? What did I miss or misunderstand?
Great idea since Abhi is married…that won’t cause any issues. Tanu won’t turn around and say that Pragya took advantage of her poverty and bribed her with money so she could get her husband. That is a win win situation for sure…………… 🙁
LOL. Yes, Pragya is that stupid and she won’t figure that out …in time. And she won’t tell Shushma who would have the balls do something effective….especially as it was hinted that Shushma knows the tuna-fish from a previous encounter.
Had to take a peek at the episode to watch Rhea’s affectation. It has been pointed out to me that this actress has 9 years of acting experience and therefore she is a very good actress. Well, I won’t dispute that as I have not seen any of her other work. but in this show, she doesn’t present as experienced at all. Darn lucky that the director can use any number of ‘takes’ until they feel it’s ‘right’. this director continues to make errors. the shower scene shows Rhea entering with her hair done up and heavy jewelry on neck and ears. A split 2nd later, hair is down and jewelry is gone. That’s amateur quality work. We have already seen that ‘Rhea’ has the chest heaving acting device, down perfectly. Chest heaving is used as an effort to communicate emotion, because your script or your acting ability is not what it could be. One of the reasons that Prachi is a favourite, in my opinion… like Pragya, is because they are able to express emotion through their eyes and facial expressions. LOL. Mind you, perhaps the actresses who are loaded up with botox or other injectables don’t have a choice except to use acting devices, because their faces don’t move very well anymore! And I always try to remind myself, perhaps none of the actors are able to do justice to their roles because of the quality of the script and the director who takes no interest whatsoever into the details that make a production of ‘quality’.
Random ? but did Pranbir finish college or???
I’m always sure about this that ranbir is a far better husband than abi…he always trust his wife and can go any extent for getting her in his life… And also he has no ego infront of prachi not like abhi who has always ego because of what he lost pragya every time in his life
He always has ego and hurt pragya with his words and then repent for it It seems to be his hobby… And this pragya she is a emotional fool always forgive her husband and again hurted by him
I don’t want to happen it now she should never accept him in her life back he doesn’t deserve pragya in his life
