Kumkum Bhagya 22nd July 2023 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
The Episode starts with Akshay asking Ranbir, why he can’t fill sindoor in Mihika’s maang. Ranbir asks Mihika to say. Mihika asks him why he can’t apply it in her maang. Ranbir is shocked and asks didn’t you know my problem. He tells Vishaka that he respects her a lot, but can’t do this. He says there is a proper rituals and customs which shall be followed. Vishaka asks him not to teach her and don’t give her reasons and logic, says it is puja kumkum and anyone can apply it, and asks him to take kumkum and fill in Mihika’s maang. Mihika takes aarti plate in her hand and looks at Ranbir. Ranbir recalls Mihika coming to her and telling that her family has a doubt that they are not the real couple, so they will take some test or exam, and tells that they shall pass in it. Ranbir asks what they will ask us to do? Mihika says whatever they ask you to do, do it, I will not feel bad and asks him not to hesitant and don’t stop. Ranbir says they are your family. Mihika says they are my family, but you don’t know him, and says nobody know him either. Ranbir promises him that he will do the test. Manpreet asks Vishaka to leave it, when Ranbir doesn’t want to fill kumkum in her maang. Vishaka says no, and tells that anyone can have it, and tells that they have taken the rounds so what is the mistake. Akshay asks Ranbir to think it as the blessings and asks when you are getting a chance to stay together then why you are backing off. He asks Ranbir to take kumkum and fills Mihika’s maang. Prachi recalls Ranbir’s words that he didn’t come here to take revenge from him. Vishaka asks Ranbir to hurry up. Ranbir takes the pinch of Kumkum in his hand and is about to apply it in Mihika’s hairline, when Prachi shouts asking him to stop. Ranbir asks why can’t I do this? Prachi says this is wrong and tells Vishaka that a girl’s maang can be fulfilled when she takes the rounds. Vishaka says they have taken kalash rounds. Prachi says they didn’t take agni rounds, and tells that it happens in the marriage altar in front of fire. She tells that when two people gets married in the marriage altar, witnessing the fire and the God. She says they didn’t take rounds around fire, so shall not apply the kumkum. Ranbir says our kalash rounds have happen, and I feel that it is enough to apply the kumkum. He is about to apply kumkum in Mihika’s maang, when Prachi comes and holds his hand, the kumkum falls in her maang accidentally. Everyone gets shocked.
Akshay comes to Ranbir and asks what you have done? He gets angry. Vishaka says Akshay. Akshay says this is wrong, it has to be removed. He starts wiping it and shouts asking why it is not going. Prachi says she is feeling pain, as he rubs it with tissue. He asks Ranbir why it is not removing. Ranbir says it was not intentional. Akshay says it is wrong, Mihika can’t get sindoor before marriage. He says you can’t fill sindoor in Prachi’s maang. He takes Prachi with him, away from there. Mihika says what you have done Ranbir and goes angrily. Ranbir goes behind her. Vishaka tells Ashok that Ranbir was about to fill kumkum in Mihika’s maang and that’s means they have relation between each other. Manpreet asks didn’t you see what has happened, Akshay is very angry. Ashok says yes, he is very angry. Neha asks Abhay to stay away from Akshay for sometime. Divya reminds him what had happened time. Abhay gets tensed.
In the room, Akshay makes Prachi sit and says how can he do such a carelessness. He says I didn’t apply you kumkum till now, and he has applied kumkum to you. He acts crazy and says Ranbir has crossed the limits and talks big. He says when I asked him to apply kumkum to Mihika, he didn’t apply. He says it is your mistake, why did you lecture him about kumkum. He asks why did you hold Ranbir’s hand and says it fell on you accidentally. He asks her to wipe it and says he can’t see it. He pulls his right ear repeatedly shocking Prachi. Prachi wipes it and says it is gone. Akshay says it is still having in your maang. He rubs it with the tissue. Prachi says you are hurting me. Akshay says even I am hurt. He says it is dried sindoor and asks her to come with him. He takes her to the dressing table and asks her not to move.
Ranbir asks Mihika to come inside the room and says he needs to talk to her. Mihika comes inside. She asks why did you fill kumkum in Prachi’s maang. Ranbir says it was a mistake. She asks why did you take kumkum in your hand. Ranbir says you had only told me to do it and asked me not to stop. He says it was an accident, the kumkum fell on Prachi’s maang as she held my hand. He is about to go, when Mihika holds his hand tightly. He asks her to leave her hand and tells that her nails are hurting him. Ranbir acts crazy and says I will make the cloth wet and then I will wipe it. He asks her to look in the front and wipes it, but the color doesn’t go. Prachi says it is gone. Akshay says it is still there, I can see. He says I will wipe it, and applies some cream on her forehead, says nobody will know that Ranbir had applied kumkum to you. He sits when it is finally gone and says now nobody will know. Prachi gets scared and asks why you are doing this. Akshay says you are my wife, and nobody can fill kumkum in your maang, it is your mistake, what was the need to come inbetween and lecturing so much. He says it is your habit to interfere, and says you are saying as if you believe in rituals, then why did you let wrong thing happen to you. Prachi says it was a mistake. Akshay asks why you didn’t slap him if it was a mistake. He says why I am talking to you, I shall go and slap him. Prachi stops him. Akshay says I didn’t touch you as a husband till now, so you shall understand that I am your husband, I am good or bad, but I am yours, and says I get hurt and have feelings.
Prachi asks who are you, and asks where is that Akshay, whom I know? She asks where is my friend who was good. She asks if this is your avatar and real Akshay, then I will not bear this behavior of yours. She says I am not your property, you can’t owe me. She says she will not bear him. Akshay says shall I bear to see anyone filling your maang with kumkum, and asks who am I? He says I am your husband. He gets crazy and asks what do you want that I shall see anyone filling kumkum in your maang. Asur song plays….He says if someone comes and hugs you, then also I shall not react. Prachi asks him to go and leave the room. Akshay refuses. Prachi says we will talk when you are normal and in your conscience. Akshay says you shall come in your conscience. She pushes him out and asks him to go. Akshay stops her from closing the door and says he is not yet done. He gets inside. Prachi asks him not to come behind her else the consequences will be bad. Akshay gets hyper and crazy.
Ranbir tells Mihika that she told him that he shall do to make everyone believe that we are a couple. Mihika leaves his hand and tells that Bhai is very angry. Ranbir asks if you are fine, and tells that you have held my hand so tightly that it is paining till now. He says the kumkum was filled in her maang mistakenly. Mihika acts crazy and asks him not to say. She says everyone takes my test, and asks if it is my mistake that I asked your help. She says you are saying it a mistake and tells that Bhai got so much disturbed and I am disturbed too. She asks if there is something between Prachi and you. Ranbir says yes.
Precap: Akshay asks Ranbir to stay away from them and says you didn’t say me sorry till now for Kumkum incident. Ranbir says I will not say sorry and asks what you will do, will you beat me. Akshay raises his hand to hit him. Prachi is shocked.

Akshay ( viraj dobriyal )
Prachi ( janvi )
Ranbir ( raghav )
maybe you remember?
???
Y ashok cheated prachi.😭😭😭 This elders not supporting kids illness. Out of it keeping beloved mother away from home. Manpreet is enough to cure siblings.
Will akshay ever physically abuse prachi??
Today episode complete physical mental abuse
Yes.. but will he try to intimate physically with prachi?
Nag won’t do it. All pranbir fans too sensitive to prachi
Maybe he will who knows
I think he will try to force himself on prachi
Many saying when prachi keep on rejecting akshay keep on proposing is a big obesseion. Never thought he will be this much obessive
Again in precap akshay got calm he normal so ranbir won’t notice akshay illness
The bgm shown for AK was so scary 😱
But also too good
I liked it a lot
I fear pk will turn into pysco due to her staying with akshay 😂😂.then she threaten ranbir and he will be like Prachi also became mental like mihika and Akshay 😂😂
Atlast kohlis better than tandons🤒
Exactly 💯
I guess now kholi will come to tandon house due to rk in danger predicted by astrologer
Mihika seems aggressive not pshyco. Even mihika itself seeing akshay trembling hands. Akshay all along went to London for treatment
I feel the same . Maybe they can show this now . Since they turned ak into pysco. Male version of rhea is here 😂😂
What is happening 😭😭
AK turned to 500% suddenly 😂 psycho AK
It’s good . Maybe we will get to see fight pk 🔥🔥
I don’t like Mihika’s acting , it’s Pathetic .but she is better than Rhéa
AK is so scary
Yes he is but hatts of to abhishek 👏👏 he played pyscotic nature well 🔥🔥
Agree. Akshay has performed terrific 👏

I think he will try to force himself on prachi
Possible but I thought pk will be take everything silently but she proved me wrong . After all she pragya little tigeress. She knows how to fight against injustice 🔥🔥
I liked prachi’s stand. Today she didn’t call anyone to help her. Hope she stays strong and clean this mess herself and tries to keep ranbir away from this mess as he had to clean his own mess
Neetu is Pranbir truth going to come out infront of Akshay and khsuhi returning has nagpal changed the story again apparently marriage track is back but why did they go shopping for marriage function outfits
Don’t know Sana, I just want that shameless rk stay away from pk. Stop following pk like her dog tail. Today he was ready to fill mihika hairline what more proof needed to show rk moved on in his life 😔😔
Neethumol he Stopped to run behind prachi
Good she will do this job now. Keeping rk away from her for his own safety 🤞🤞
Now he runs behind mihika😂
Victoria 😂 exactly
Neethumol exactly she got a view of AK ( his psycho behavior) and she was scared . I think to protect ranbir from AK , she will far ranbir from her
I hope that she will continue like this . But my Poor baby was so scary by AK behavior
Yes she was 😔
She was scared but she stayed strong in front of akshay. Even she dared him not to come behind her
AK psycho IS Very dangereous than mihika . I think as psycho he is sufficient . I want them to remove mihika she is too much . I don’t want two psycho behind Pranbir
Nagpal give fans What they want but in the worst way . Fans have asked AK just Villain but nagpal gave a psycho
I won’t mind if he also give us strong prachi and strong ranbir clearing their own mess. Specially strong prachi
Just watched precap again, AK is not normal he is still in his pyscotic nature. Rk doubt will get more strong now 🙏
But niti said in the precap he is calm down before ranbir Come
If he was normal he would not have raised his hand and rk also angry maybe he saw Akshay manhandling ok🤞🤞
I just hope prachi somehow frees herself and khsuhi from Akshay and run away back to Bangalore leave Delhi and never return
But how ? She Can free herself anyways the mariage IS Fake but how she will free kushi ( AK Has 70% ) and he knows that kushi is his weakness
Just take her and run away that’s what ishita did in YHM when shagun was given custody of Ruhi she got to the airport
Ashok betrayed prachi , in fact all tondon familly betrayed prachi .
Agree
What will happen If despite the fact that AK became psycho TRP doesn’t increase ?
Gen leap
Nemat I think it will increase.. we haven’t had villian for long . It was boring
Victoria for that Nagpal should no longer confuse public like he did before . One day he show négative vibe from AK and another day he is positive . I hope that this Time it’s definitely 🙌 that he is psycho
He will stay psycho. The bgm is the proof. We need a villian in show
Poor prachi she has to deal with ranbir possessiveness and now she also has to deal with Akshay psychosis
Sana Lately ranbir is not SHOwn possessive towards Prachi. His last scène where he was possessive was After his dream After that his behavior suddenly change and was more concentrate on mihika to show that their relationship IS real
So prachi didn’t worry about ranbir possessiveness
Her Big problem Now IS AK
Now he will if he feels prachi is not safe with Akshay he’ll start getting possessive if he sees akshay manhandling prachi
Pranbir’s fans are maybe possessive but sometimes it’s this possessiveness who save Pranbir . Pranbir fans have saved ranbir/ Krishna. I think Nagpal wanted maybe to make AK the lead and Prakshay end game lately he started to make ranbir behaving like a villain AK was like a ML . But because of fans suddenly Ak turned to 500% . Pranbiriens have saved ranbir’s place as a ML
Seriously ranbir has no obligation towards mihika, I hope that he will stop to behave like a sheep with her .he is not completely Trapped yet contrary to prachi , he Can still get out , he must just stop this stupidity with Mihika while there is still Time . More he continue more he sinks stupidly
And he has even a lesser obligation towards Akshey’s wife
From the scene of prachi holding ranbirs hand,she did it on purpose and even directed it in her hairline,its very clear……bt now the tandons are acting weird,mihika and akshay both having mental disorders!!!and what was abhay tensed about wen divya told him about the last time???akshay at first was mistaken to be a drug dealer,and his behaviour now shows that something is definately wrong
Mihika only had past y akshay behaving weirder

Definitely 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Even Bua didn’t refute Prachi’s logic. What reason Ranbir had to support Bua??
Ranbir actually did not want to put kumkum on Mihika’s forehead, right?? Prachi did give him a way. Why didn’t he take it??
That means showing attitude to Prachi is more important to him than not doing rituals when he himself doesn’t want to
_______
Why are you blaming Ranbir for Prachi’s stuburness? Whatever Ranbir did, whether he was first uncomfortable and then agreed to do it as he and Mihika had talked about it, that’s upto him 🤷♀️ No one asked Prachi to interfere and start lecturing on kumkum which she is daily mocking 🤣🤣🤣 and definitely no one asked Prachi to hold Ranbir’s hand above her head so kumkum can fall on her. She did it herself and whatever anyone will say to her she initiated it not Ranbir.
Prachi asks who are you, and asks where is that Akshay, whom I know? She asks where is my friend who was good. She asks if this is your avatar and real Akshay, then I will not bear this behavior of yours. She says I am not your property, you can’t owe me. She says she will not bear him. Akshay says shall I bear to see anyone filling your maang with kumkum, and asks who am I? He says I am your husband. He gets crazy and asks what do you want that I shall see anyone filling kumkum in your maang. Asur song plays….He says if someone comes and hugs you, then also I shall not react. Prachi asks him to go and leave the room. Akshay refuses. Prachi says we will talk when you are normal and in your conscience. Akshay says you shall come in your conscience. She pushes him out and asks him to go. Akshay stops her from closing the door and says he is not yet done. He gets inside. Prachi asks him not to come behind her else the consequences will be bad. Akshay gets hyper and crazy

Prachi must be feeling so happy about the angel husband she chose over devil Ranbir 🤣🤣🤣

In today’s episode Akshay was saying to prachi
akshay ne prachi ko bola tumhe ranbir ko thappad marna chahiye tha uski galti ke liye
if you slapped him i would be talking to him not you
So i think your right Colin to stop fight prachi will ask rk to leave
_______
If Akshey said he would have talked to Ranbir not her if she had slapped Ranbir, that means if Prachi had done something to show Ranbir he was wrong then instead of Prachi, Ranbir would be subjected to his anger. In that case Prachi scolding Ranbir now for interfering in husband-wife matter would be same as slapping him earlier thus sending Akshey’s anger in Ranbir’s direction instead of her own 🤷♀️ so how does it becomes Prachi actually saving Ranbir?
If I am not wrong for some a hero means a shameless man who will interfere between a husband and wife and follow them when husband took wife to their room even when all their relatives are there to interfere if needed 🤣🤣🤣 But heroine is a person that should never sacrifice her self respect to save hero when his family and a psycho illegal wife make his life miserable and try to rape him. Bravo to gender discrimination of you guys 👏👏👏
And same with precap. In precap also he is fearless, but as Collin said if Prachi ask him not to interfere between them then he would not be able to do anything.
______
This is the biggest difference with bigamy track. Prachi could do lot during bigamy because Ranbir never stopped her. In fact he secretly helped her as much as possible. But here Prachi is stopping Ranbir only. So he can’t do things you guys expect from a ML without being a shameless man. With Prachi it never felt she was forcing herself on Ranbir because despite whatever Pallavi and Rhea said, Ranbir never opposed Prachi. But here it always seems as Ranbir is forcing himself on Prachi because Prachi doesn’t want him.
Where are everyone that praised Tandons who was good in-laws and Ashok as a father figure for Prachi 🤣🤣🤣 They used Prachi as a sacrificial lamb for their son’s mental sickness
I believe they were supposed to be good. But due to the complete possessive of Pranbir fans, things changed. Like Ruhi said. It’s weird how they switched Akshay to a whole another angle in one episode.
It looks like Ranbir dropping kumkum on Prachi was completely shock for him but not Prachi. She knew exactly what she was doing.

Honestly speaking seeing Akshay it seems like he has a traumatic past. This isn’t me sympathising with him but rather looking for clues in his behaviour. He never once showed symptoms of having a mental illness. Evil yes but not like this. The way he was acting was like a mental patient. Not a villain. Something isn’t right. And the clue was what Ashok said after he nearly slapped Mihika. Something about his medication. That means Akshay is on medication? For what? There’s a reason behind this. What I feel is Akshay has some mental/psychological issues which needs to be dealt with professionally. Maybe it was inherited from his deceased mother. That’s why her kids are both acting crazy. And I don’t think it’s right to turn such a person into a villain just like that. He needs to get professional help. The way he was introduced at the start, he was shown as a good person. He liked Khushi too. When he found out about Pranbir at first he was sad but also said he would accept it. Now I feel Pranbir fans were the cause of him turning a 360 degree angle. And Nagpal doesn’t know how to write villains properly. That’s why you’re getting Akshay acting sane one minute and crazy another which doesn’t make sense. He was calm days ago. Out of the blue, he switched up. There was no hints or clues he would turn like this. You may not like what I’m saying but I feel sad for such a character, Prachi is too at fault for this. I felt sad seeing her today being a victim of violence, she was terrified. And Ashok he knew what his son is like. If Akshay has a mental past, Ashok could have told Prachi about this. He literally just forced the relationship. Maybe that’s why Ashok wanted them married. Not just because he saw Prachi as his daughter but because he knew how Akshay was happy around Prachi and Prachi would heal him. But she should have been aware of his past. And honestly I hope they don’t show him as a proper villain or someone that can commit murder. What I saw today was a possible mental patient with a troublesome past and on medication which he hasn’t been taking. And I hope his ending results in him getting professional help. Maybe Prachi can help him who knows. She does see him as her best friend. And they can keep Mihika as the villain. I think some forget that Nagpal can’t write male villains for too long. Apparently to him they aren’t interesting. He loves female villains and psychos. Look at his shows. Are there any male villains?? Every of his shows includes at least one or more main female psycho. Rhea won’t be seen for now I don’t think. Maybe she’ll appear at the very end to kill Pranbir off. Mihika is taking her role for now. We already saw it properly today. And Nagpal always highlights female villains more. Male villains can’t do much unfortunately. Maybe Akshay’s role will end before Mihika’s. And like I said above, if Pranbir fans complain about Akshay it’s your own fault only. You asked for this. You reap what you sow. It’s a shame that a once loved character came to this. I never believed he would be like this if it wasn’t for the fans. The way he was portrayed at the start until now are two complete different characters.
But both sibilings have the same mental problem 🤷♀️ But you think it is wrong to make Akshey villain but wants Mihika to be a villain? In that case neither sibilings should be a villain and both should get professional help only
I can’t tell about Mihika as of now. She’s shown as a psycho since the start whereas Akshay wasn’t. In my opinion the plan was to make her a psycho but not Akshay but due to the fans they made him one too. Mihika obviously continued her psycho side today especially when she gripped him painfully but I think what Akshay did was more serious. Need to see more of her. All I can see is she gets obsessed with men very easily. She was obsessed with her ex and now Ranbir. Seems a disorder of being single. Let’s see what more she’s capable of. However something does tell me she’s a lot worse than Rhea.
I agree with some comments here about Krishna looking less of a male lead now. His character is weak. Sad bitter truth. No I don’t want or expect him to run after the female lead but anyhow that’s not what a hero only does. Tbh the makers have ruined the essence of Ranbir qualities as a male lead. Firstly it was his time to shine in this track as revenge but look what happened instead? No male lead is like this. He never got a proper track. Now it’s like the male lead has become a puppet. One minute he’s behind the female lead, next he’s behind that psycho. Where’s his self respect? His courageness, boldness? In the precap, even Akshay had the upper hand. Ranbir needs to fight. Not for Prachi but for humanity. Standing up for violence. If he wants to save Prachi so be it but do it for the sake of humanity. And I also feel the makers may have made a mistake in brining Abhishek as second male lead. He’s an amazing actor no doubt, but he’s more big and muscular than Krishna. It’s evident in their scenes. Abhishek is a good choice for Akshay but they also could have found someone that wouldn’t overshadow the male lead in terms of this. Maybe that’s why Krishna grew a beard out of the blue?🤷♀️ he felt awkward with Abhishek as a male lead. And he wanted to look more mature. I realised many audience used to praise Akshay for his hero qualities and appearance. Maybe that’s why some like the jodi and wish the actors could be paired opposite each other in the future. Abhishek does have hero qualities. He can play a hero well. But in this show it’s rightfully Krishna. Unfortunately the makers were not using his role as a male lead properly. It’s like they purposely brought a bigger man in.
Akshay’s past needs to be revisited. Especially with what Ashok said. It has something to do with the way he’s acting. Definitely a psychological disorder. Did he suffer from something after his mothers death? Did the siblings inherit from her? What medication is he on? And why was Prachi not aware of this?
I’m not sure if this track will increase trp. I know audience love the drama and finally there’s ‘villains’ after a long time of boring peaceful drama but they also want the leads to reunite. It’s been 7 months. And no progress at all. Will the audience like the fact Akshay and Mihika have changed? Some even like Prashay and Rihika scenes. Some even thought Pranbir won’t be endgame now. And then soon Khushi will return and it’ll be back to her screenspace. Also not to mention perhaps a LIKELY marriage track of Ranbir-Mihika. Unless they won’t bring that now, hopefully. Because that will certainly decrease trp. Especially now that we’ve seen who Mihika really is. If the rumours about it coming to an end in September is true, then they need to think and plan fast. July is ending. Less than two months. Maybe it’s time to start thinking about leads reunion, them working together against evil. Not still finding themselves trapped in meaningless relationships and psychos not letting them go.
By the way I do hope it’s ending. The longer they stay the more and more they’ll be ruined. Reunite them with their daughter and end the show. We don’t need any unnecessary generation leaps. The shows name is already destroyed.
I’ve just realised how much I’ve written 🤣 I haven’t been active since a few days so just thought to get it all out in the open
