Kumkum Bhagya – 5th July 2023: Episode Update on worldofentertainment.in
The episode begins with Ashok expressing his disapproval of Mihika and Ranbir’s relationship. He asks Akshay if he genuinely likes them as a couple. Akshay reveals that he suspects Mihika is pretending to be in a relationship with Ranbir. Vishaka asks Manpreet if she has made arrangements for the upcoming Teej festival. Manpreet confirms that she has completed the preparations. Vishaka suggests testing Mihika’s love for Akshay by making her perform certain rituals during the festival. Akshay shares his fear that Mihika might stubbornly marry Ranbir and then divorce him later. Vishaka assures Akshay that she will handle everything and instructs Prachi to ask Mihika to stay at home the next day.
Prachi approaches Mihika and inquires about her traditional clothes for the upcoming Teej festival, which involves a puja performed by married couples for Lord Shiva. Mihika admits that she doesn’t have any traditional attire as she didn’t purchase them. Prachi assures her that she will arrange the necessary clothing. Mihika expresses her nervousness about Ranbir, as her brother (Bhai) has a negative opinion of him. She questions if Prachi also holds a similar view. Prachi replies that both Akshay and she understand Ranbir and have positive opinions of him. However, just as Prachi is about to discuss Akshay further, Mihika receives an important call from Micky and asks Prachi for some privacy.
Ranbir contemplates whether or not he should attend the upcoming event. He spots Akshay on the terrace and approaches him, asking if there’s something he wants to discuss. Akshay responds by saying that he would have been happier if they had met somewhere else. He confesses his doubts about the authenticity of their relationship. Ranbir retorts by saying that he could also argue that Prachi and Akshay’s relationship is not genuine. This makes Akshay visibly nervous, which makes Ranbir wonder why he reacted that way and if his suspicions are correct.
Just then, Vishaka arrives on the scene. Akshay informs her that Ranbir helped him propose to Prachi, and she accepted, considering Ranbir his love guru. Vishaka suggests that Mihika seek Ranbir’s help, hinting that she needs his assistance. Akshay tries to stop Vishaka, but she insists. Ranbir asks if there’s a problem. Mihika worries that Ranbir may have left and wonders how much longer he can tolerate the situation. She approaches Prachi and expresses her fear that Ranbir may have run away. Prachi reassures her that Ranbir wouldn’t leave, even if he wanted to, and that he will stay. However, Mihika contemplates whether Ranbir has indeed left because he can’t handle her and the difficult situation.
Vishaka tells Ranbir that Akshay often sleeps on the terrace, leaving his beautiful wife behind. Ranbir jokingly refers to Prachi as “chickchiki” (talkative) and defends her when Akshay tries to protect her from Vishaka’s comments. Prachi arrives on the terrace with Mihika, surprising Ranbir. He assures them that he won’t leave so soon. Akshay states that he has many questions to ask Ranbir. Vishaka suggests that they focus on making arrangements for the upcoming Teej festival, which is scheduled for the following day. Ranbir decides that he will discover the truth about Prachi and Akshay’s marriage and whether their relationship is as strong as his own with Prachi. Prachi silently vows that he won’t find out anything. Mihika takes Ranbir away with her, while Vishaka advises Prachi to keep Akshay in the bedroom so that he won’t disturb them on the terrace.
Prachi contemplates Ranbir and questions God about the game being played with her. She wonders why he keeps appearing in front of her despite her attempts to avoid him. She expresses her confusion and pain, stating that she finds it difficult to bear the pain when he is near, but also struggles when he is far. Tears well up in her eyes as she cries. A song plays in the background.
Meanwhile, Akshay tells Vishaka that Prachi might feel hurt if they continue hiding things from her. Vishaka assures him that she knows Prachi well and believes she won’t be affected. Akshay asks Vishaka what she wants. Vishaka replies that she knows Akshay better than he knows himself and asks about the nature of Prachi and his relationship in their married life. Akshay mentions Mihika’s comment about the glow of love on Prachi’s face. Vishaka dismisses it, suggesting that young people these days praise others easily. Akshay insists that he sees the glow on Prachi’s face and asks if Vishaka doesn’t notice it.
Vishaka expresses her desire for Prachi to have the glow of love on her face and emphasizes that true love cannot occur until they become closer as husband and wife. She reveals her role as Akshay’s aunt and expresses her inability to tolerate the situation any longer. She considers Prachi fortunate to have Akshay as her husband. Akshay acknowledges that he, too, is lucky to have Prachi. Vishaka states that he will receive crores (wealth) and decides to approach Prachi. However, Akshay stops her and assures her that they have grown closer as husband and wife. He believes that if Vishaka asks Prachi about it, she will realize that he acted on Vishaka’s advice. Vishaka questions his sincerity, and Akshay assures her that he is telling the truth. They hug, and Vishaka warns him that if he is lying, his deception will be exposed during the Teej rituals.
Mihika approaches Ranbir and shares her concern that she thought he left because of her family, as she searched for him everywhere. She reveals that she found him on the terrace. Ranbir asks if she found peace after seeing him. Mihika asks him about their plans for the upcoming Teej festival. Ranbir assures her that they will face the day just as they did today, with flying colours. Mihika asks if he’s sure, and Ranbir affirms it, shaking hands with her.
