Raunak’s arrogance creates tension among family and friends in Kumkum Bhagya 25th February 2025 episode. Payal refuses to marry him, while Smita and Ketki worry about the wedding. Prarthna struggles with past humiliation, and Raunak faces backlash for his actions. Drama unfolds as misunderstandings and conflicts deepen.
The episode begins with Raunak forcing Sarita to apologize to his staff and Prarthna. Sarita feels humiliated and walks away, upset. Smita and Ketki confront Raunak, telling him he was wrong to embarrass Sarita. Payal also disagrees with Raunak and reminds him that he doubted their jewelry designs, which she insists is impossible. She invites him to their showroom to check for himself, but Raunak refuses, saying it’s too late. He adds that if Sarita were still there, he would have given her an earring to inspect. Payal feels insulted and angrily returns the earrings Raunak had gifted her before leaving.
Ketki follows Payal, who confesses that she cannot marry Raunak, despite his good looks and success, because of his arrogance. She says she cannot tolerate him and walks away. Smita agrees with Payal, but Ketki is worried about what will happen to the wedding. Smita insists they will make sure it happens, believing it is the right decision for both families. Raunak overhears their conversation.
Meanwhile, Prarthna returns home, and Seema asks if she bought anything. Prarthna shows her a silver coin and explains that Baa gave her money for it, and Smita offered a discount. Seema is happy, believing the coin will bring good luck since it was bought on Akshaya Tritiya. However, Prarthna still feels sad about the way she was treated at Raunak’s shop.
Raunak, feeling frustrated, takes out his anger on a punching bag. Smita confronts him about making Sarita apologize despite her protests. Raunak removes his boxing gloves and EarPods and reassures Smita that he loves her. He tries to calm her down and jokes that if he ever chooses a bride, he will fly to London and leave. Smita is still upset and demands an explanation. Raunak defends himself, saying that Sarita was wrong to accuse the staff.
As Raunak walks past Sneha’s room, he hears her talking to Vihaan about practicing for their Sangeet dance. When Sneha notices Raunak, she asks why he is there. He teases her, saying he is thinking about taking over her room once she gets married. Sneha protests, and Smita supports Raunak, which makes Sneha upset. Raunak quickly reassures her that he was only joking.
Elsewhere, Harsha asks Kinjal if she managed to arrange the money, but Kinjal says she couldn’t. Meanwhile, Hetan complains to Kinjal about being sent to Surat during an important event, feeling that his family doesn’t respect him. Determined to prove himself, he asks Kinjal to get ₹25,000 from Smita and leaves.
Later, Prarthna lies next to Gayatri, who senses that something is wrong. She asks Prarthna to show her face, but Prarthna insists she is fine and says she has work the next day. Gayatri feels guilty, thinking Prarthna is working too hard for her sake. But Prarthna reassures her that she enjoys doing it for her sister. Gayatri reluctantly agrees.
