Kumkum Bhagya 26th June 2025 Written Update: Shivansh Takes a Stand for Prarthna. Zee TV’s Kumkum Bhagya delivers high-voltage drama in tonight’s episode, throwing the spotlight on love, betrayal, and a fiery confrontation that shook the Oberoi house.
The episode begins with Prarthna returning home after enduring the trauma of jail. Shivansh, overwhelmed with emotion, sees just how much Prarthna still cares for him. Their silent connection speaks volumes — and just when the atmosphere seems to calm with a pooja organised by Bua Maa, all peace is ripped apart.
Shivansh, following tradition, sits beside Prarthna for the pooja, treating her as his life partner in front of the entire family. But the moment is shattered by the dramatic entry of his fiancée, Sonalika. Fueled by rage and betrayal, Sonalika storms in and accuses Shivansh of cheating on her.
Shivansh tries to de-escalate the situation, but things take an ugly turn when Prarthna brings water for Sonalika — a gesture of kindness that’s met with pure venom. In a shocking outburst, Sonalika pushes Prarthna down. The entire room falls into stunned silence.
For the first time, Shivansh loses control. He steps in, raising his hand — not to strike, but to warn Sonalika to stay in her limits. His voice, once calm, turns ice-cold as he lashes out at her for humiliating Prarthna. Shivansh’s firm stance marks a turning point, not just for his relationship with Sonalika, but for how he finally views the woman who’s stood by him in silence — Prarthna.
With Sonalika seething and Shivansh caught in emotional turmoil, the question lingers in the air: whom will he choose?
Prarthna’s grace in adversity and Shivansh’s long-overdue act of spine made this episode a must-watch. As for Sonalika, her true colors are finally in the open — impulsive, insecure, and unworthy of the pedestal she once held. Kumkum Bhagya just reminded us why some slaps echo louder than words… and why love, when tested, either crumbles or conquers.

Sonalika looks for Shivansh. He sees someone in the corridor. Sonalika calls out Shivansh and checks his room. She wonders where he is. She thinks if he has gone to the living room. She rushes out of the room. Bua Maa asks Shivansh to come with her, she has to tell him something. The pandit asks Shivansh and Prarthna to come and complete the Kumkum ritual.

She asks what she is doing in Shivansh’s house. She asks Bua Maa why she didn’t tell about Prarthna.
She cries and feels that Bua Maa lied to her about Prarthna. She coughs. Prarthna gets a glass of water for her. Sonalika refuses to drink and throws the glass. Payal meets Raunak when he stops midway. She asks what he wants to discuss. He says that they should do something before they get caught. He asks her if her dad’s bodyguards can kill someone.

She insults Prarthna, who stands no comparison with her. She can’t believe it. Shivansh asks her to calm down, or else she won’t understand him. She grabs his collar in anger and tells him that there is nothing to understand.
He worries about Prarthna. Sonalika yells at him. She tells him that he can’t betray her. She doesn’t accept his betrayal. She throws things in rage. He stops her. She tells that she called him repeatedly, he never answered and ignored her, and she didn’t understand that he was busy with Prarthna.
He asks her to talk when her anger gets down. He walks away. Sonalika confronts Bua Maa for hiding such an important thing. She asks Prarthna not to dare talk to her. She tells that Prarthna has trapped Shivansh. She doesn’t listen to anyone. She wants Shivansh to answer her. She goes to talk to him. Bua Maa warns Prarthna against going after Sonalika.
Sonalika tells Shivansh that he broke her trust, he has committed a crime, and he has done too wrong. Shivansh apologizes for wronging her life. He tells her that he married Prarthna for revenge. She asks who is more important than her. He tells her that Smita Zaveri is his mom, who had snatched his childhood, he wanted to take revenge on her, she loves Raunak a lot, Raunak was marrying Prarthna, he took Raunak’s place and married Prarthna.
She asks him how he could cheat on her. He leaves the room. She follows him. She tells that they were going to get married. He says that he planned this wedding to hurt Raunak and Smita. Sonalika asks what about her. Shivansh tells that he always listens to his heart and wins. She tells that he has ruined his life. He tells that he forgot love, Smita has ruined his dad’s life, so he has ruined Raunak’s life.
She asks him to realize that he has destroyed her life, too. She prays that his wedding destroys him, too. He is ready to face any consequence. Sonalika asks him to listen to her carefully; he has done wrong, he has cheated on her, his entire family is involved, and she will not spare them. She wants to take revenge on them. She threatens Shivansh that she will ruin his life completely. She makes an exit.
Prarthna worries for Shivansh. Shubhvi goes to Smita and tells her that their living room needs renovation again. Smita asks what they will do now. Shubhvi says that they can live in the basement. Smita checks the burnt walls of the house. Kanti tells Smita that they are shifting to the basement for a few days as they need to renovate the house and look after their safety first. Smita cries. Kanti asks her not to worry.
Payal calls Shakti. She tells Raunak that her dad’s bodyguards aren’t answering the call. Raunak tells that nobody should know about their crime. She tells that she will go to her dad’s place and speak to his bodyguards. She leaves in her car. Shubhvi calls Raunak and informs him about Smita’s sickness. She asks him to come home immediately. Raunak leaves for home.
Bua Maa asks Shivansh what will he do now. Shivansh asks what does she mean. She asks how she will convince Sonalika. He isn’t angry with Sonalika’s justified anger. He tells that he didn’t think of Sonalika before. Bua Maa tells him that she has an idea. He gets his lawyer’s phone. The call gets picked up on speaker.
The lawyer tells Shivansh that the insurance company refused to pay for the fire damage, and Shivansh is going to bear a big loss, since he is the house owner now. He says that the insurance company rejected the claim, and the repair costs will be too high for them to manage, as Shivansh has already mortgaged his big project to take a loan. Shivansh asks the reason for the claim rejection.
The lawyer reminds that Prarthna had confessed to the crime and the insurance company is against them now. Shivansh tells that Prarthna is innocent and he will soon find the culprits. He gets his detective’s call and learns about the men who ignited fire at the Zaveri house. Shivansh asks him to get the details and reach the police station. He wants to expose Raunak’s truth. He leaves. Bua Maa targets Prarthna and blames her for bringing bad luck to them. Prarthna gets upset.
