In the latest episode of Kumkum Bhagya (27th March 2025), tensions escalate between Raunak, Payal, and Prarthna as their complicated relationships unravel. Raunak’s discomfort with Payal intensifies, while Payal’s obsession with him grows. Prarthna’s desperate escape adds more chaos to the already strained dynamics. Secrets and emotions collide, leaving everyone on edge.
The episode opens with Raunak asking Payal what she would do if their marriage doesn’t go through. Payal responds confidently, saying he won’t be able to get rid of her so easily. She then shifts the conversation, asking Raunak about his ideal type of woman. Raunak answers that it depends on the person but insists that honesty should always be maintained in a relationship. Payal notices that he doesn’t directly mention Prarthna but feels as though he is referring to her.
Inviting Raunak to dance, Payal leads the way. However, as they dance, Raunak grows increasingly uncomfortable with her advances. He suddenly places money on the table and stands up to leave the restaurant. Surprised, Payal asks where he’s going, to which Raunak replies that he’s not the person she thinks he is, and walks out. Payal follows him.
In another scene, Bhavesh tells Prarthna that he will show her the honeymoon suite he has booked. After paying the bill at the dhaba, he takes her to the suite. Upon arrival, Bhavesh inquires about the cost of the room, and the receptionist tells him it’s ₹3000. Bhavesh calls Payal, asking her to send ₹5000 to book the suite. Payal agrees but warns him not to trouble her with such requests in the future.
Once inside the suite, Bhavesh tries to convince Prarthna to join him on the bed, but she refuses. When he attempts to force himself on her, Prarthna slaps him, pushes him away, and manages to escape. The receptionist later informs Bhavesh that Prarthna has run away.
Back with Raunak and Payal, Payal accuses Raunak of rejecting her because he has feelings for Prarthna. Raunak questions why she keeps bringing up Prarthna, and Payal retorts that it’s because he only ever thinks about her. Meanwhile, Prarthna, desperate to get away, finds an open car door and climbs inside.
As Raunak is about to leave, Payal suddenly calls out Prarthna’s name. Raunak immediately turns around, demanding to know where she is. Payal smirks and taunts him, saying that Prarthna is in his heart. At that moment, she receives a call from Smita, leaving Raunak and Payal’s exchange hanging.
