Kundali Bhagya 31st August 2024 written update

Karan jokes with Rajveer, saying that Rajveer is like his younger version or perhaps even the next Karan. He shares how he used to be an excellent batsman in his day, always ready to catch the ball if it came his way. Karan praises Rajveer for his sharpness in catching the ball and adds that he used to be quite the flirt back in the day. Rajveer, however, humbly denies having that particular trait. Nidhi, noticing the exchange, turns to Shaurya and remarks that this is exactly what she was talking about. She points out how Karan is only focusing on Rajveer, even asking him to drive the car, while completely ignoring Shaurya, his real son. 

Nidhi confesses to Shaurya that she feels like Rajveer is more of Karan’s son, and Shaurya is being treated like an outsider. She admits that she’s worried Rajveer might replace Shaurya in Karan’s eyes and urges him to do something about it, rather than just wasting his time drinking and partying. Shaurya, frustrated, tells Nidhi that he has no intention of returning home and will go straight to the party. He sarcastically suggests that if Karan asks about him, Nidhi should tell him to just focus on Rajveer. Nidhi smiles, pleased with herself, thinking that she has successfully sown discord and that when the situation escalates, both Preeta and Rajveer will get burned in the fire she’s ignited.

Meanwhile, Preeta is talking to Gurpreet and expresses how she sees a lot of herself in Palki, who is always ready to help others. Preeta reflects on how Palki was incredibly supportive to them recently, even though she barely got any time to spend with Rajveer. She worries that if Rajveer and Palki don’t get enough time together, they won’t get to know each other well. Preeta admits she’s biased because she’s Rajveer’s aunt, but she genuinely believes he is a good person. As Palki enters the house, Preeta suggests she should go out for dinner with Rajveer. Palki hesitates, worried that her mother might refuse, though she admits she wants to spend time with him. She’s unsure if Rajveer will be available, but Preeta insists that he will make time and encourages Palki to be ready by 9 PM. Palki, however, feels conflicted because she also needs to help Kavya. Preeta, understanding, agrees that Palki should help with Kavya but reassures her that this house is as much hers as anyone else’s, treating her more like a daughter than a daughter-in-law. Palki finally leaves, with Preeta reminding her to be ready by 9 PM.

Gurpreet notices Preeta is worried and asks why. Preeta opens up about her concern for Kavya, wishing for her daughter to experience the same emotions. She confesses she doesn’t understand why Kavya’s life took such a drastic turn, especially when they all believed Varun would make her happy. Instead, he ended up breaking her heart. Kritika arrives and assures Preeta that Kavya is strong and will heal in time, but Preeta isn’t so sure. She shares that Kavya isn’t doing well and is just pretending to be fine. Preeta is deeply concerned that Kavya is silently blaming herself for what happened with Varun, wondering why she didn’t see the truth earlier. Preeta fears that Kavya’s pain might turn into a deep wound that could take a long time to heal. She wishes for Kavya to return to the happy, carefree girl she was before the incident. Kritika, determined, says that nothing bad will happen as long as Preeta is around. Preeta responds that if it were up to her, she would have made sure Varun was severely punished. Kritika then mentions that Varun is being transferred to another jail, where he will be met by dangerous criminals who will give him a taste of his own medicine. While Kritika is angry, Preeta becomes anxious.

Later that night, Varun is being transferred in a police van. The Inspector in charge taunts Varun, telling him that he ruined his own life by thinking he was some kind of big shot, and now he’s going to a place where he’ll meet others just like him. The Inspector mocks Varun, saying he kidnapped a girl and tormented her family, and now he’s going to pay for it. Varun, unfazed, tells the Inspector that he’s not interested in listening to his lectures and that they’ll see what happens in the future. The Inspector warns Varun to mind his tone, reminding him that he’s dealing with the police, who can teach him a lesson if he’s not careful. Varun, however, remains defiant, questioning what more they can do to him since he’s already been through so much. The Inspector orders Varun to step out of the van, and as Varun reluctantly complies, the Inspector hints that he might stage an encounter and kill Varun. Varun, sensing danger, becomes nervous but tries to act calm, saying he’s ready to go to jail. However, the Inspector fires a shot at Varun’s shoes, forcing him to run. As Varun tries to escape, the Inspector shoots at him, and his men join in. Just when things look dire for Varun, a car driven by Anshuman Panday stops nearby. Anshuman orders Varun to get in the car, and they quickly drive away. The Inspector, realizing what happened, starts to panic, worried that they might lose their jobs if Varun complains.

Inside the car, Varun questions Anshuman’s motives for saving him. Anshuman explains that he sees an opportunity in Varun, who shares a common enemy in the Luthras. He mentions how Rajveer initially came to him to join forces but then switched sides to be with Karan. Anshuman assures Varun that he’s not like Rajveer and that they are on the same side. He adds that he’s heard about the incident at the warehouse and is glad to have helped Varun, who would have ended up in a jail from where there was no escape. Varun, determined to execute his plan, reveals that he needs to kidnap a girl and that time is running out. He mentions that the Luthras haven’t fully recovered from the previous night’s attack, so he must act quickly. Anshuman, understanding the urgency, stops the car, surprising Varun. Anshuman then tells Varun to take over the driving, revealing that the car’s number plate is fake. After shaking hands with Anshuman, Varun takes the wheel and drives off, ready to carry out his next move.

Back at the house, Rajveer is standing with a file in hand when Palki enters the room. Rajveer, caught off guard by her beauty, nearly drops the file as he can’t take his eyes off her. Palki, noticing his gaze, feels a bit shy but smiles back at him. Rajveer compliments her, saying she looks stunning, to which Palki blushes. Preeta, who has been observing them, chimes in, saying that Palki has always been beautiful, but she looks even more radiant after Rajveer’s compliment. Karan enters, asking if everything is alright, and Preeta assures him that all is well. Just then, Kavya arrives and asks Rajveer to change his clothes. Karan, sensing something is up, questions if he’s missing out on something, especially since Kavya called him urgently to bring Rajveer. Kavya, with a smile, reveals that Rajveer and Palki are going on a date. Rajveer, feeling nervous, exchanges glances with Palki while everyone around them beams with excitement. Preeta teases Karan, saying that he’s not romantic at all and that his son has inherited the same trait, forgetting how to spend quality time with his fiancée. Karan, taken aback, asks Preeta to take back her words, insisting that The Karan Luthra is indeed romantic and knows how to woo someone. He assures her that when he looks at someone with love, they can’t help but look back.

Rajveer, still captivated by Palki, keeps gazing at her until Karan snaps back to reality, realizing what he just said. He quickly clarifies that he knows how to handle such situations and is even willing to make sacrifices for love, which is what he meant. Rajveer and Kavya share a smile, and Kavya nudges Rajveer to go and change, reminding him that the restaurant might close if they don’t leave soon. Karan suggests that even if someone isn’t naturally romantic, the ambiance of the restaurant will bring out their romantic side. Kavya insists that Rajveer hurry up and change while she goes to apply a black tika on Palki. Preeta, watching all this, starts to smile, and Karan, noticing her expression, asks what’s on her mind. Preeta apologizes for calling him unromantic earlier, admitting she made a mistake. She acknowledges that he must be romantic since he knows about a restaurant that stays open until 2 AM and must have taken his wife there before. Karan playfully chides her, saying that her memory is both a blessing and a curse, and then he starts smiling.
