Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 12th July 2026 Written Update: Tulsi Hints at Nakul’s Love as Gautam and Karan Clash Again
The episode begins with Nakul meeting Vaishnavi privately. He tells her that he no longer wants to keep their relationship a secret and believes the time has come to tell the entire family the truth. Vaishnavi agrees with him but says she wants to speak to Kaki, Tulsi, before anyone else learns about their relationship. Nakul respects her decision, and the two decide to wait for the right moment.
Meanwhile, another heated argument erupts inside Shantiniketan.
Karan taunts Gautam for suddenly supporting Tulsi after years of conflict. Gautam fires back, reminding Karan that he enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle throughout Tulsi’s reign, while he himself always felt like a neglected stepson.
Karan angrily declares that Tulsi stopped being his mother the day she “killed” his son. Gautam calls Karan selfish and accuses him of using Tulsi whenever it benefited him. He reminds Karan that Tulsi once gave him financial support to start his business and claims that without her help, he would have been left helpless.
Enraged by the accusation, Karan says he has always worshipped Tulsi like a goddess and never used her for personal gain. He insists that Tulsi never intentionally harmed anyone and refuses to accept Gautam’s allegations.
Gautam argues that denying the truth cannot change what happened in the past. Karan again insists Tulsi never murdered his son, making Gautam even more furious.
The argument soon shifts toward Tulsi’s latest decision to collect rent from every family member.
Karan says Tulsi never demanded rent from anyone before and questions why she has suddenly changed.
Gautam blames Karan for the current situation, saying none of this would have happened if he had completed the legal formalities related to the house partition. Karan immediately throws the blame back at Gautam and sarcastically asks him to start paying rent himself.
Throughout the confrontation, both Nandini and Damini remain silent. Nandini silently regrets that she still cannot reveal the truth that could end the family’s misunderstandings forever.
Karan tells Nandini that Gautam’s actions are solely responsible for bringing Tulsi back to Shantiniketan. Gautam, however, insists that Karan himself forced the house to be divided, making Tulsi’s return inevitable.
Karan says Nandini already knows the depth of his pain and hatred. He explains that he cannot bear living in the same house where he constantly remembers losing his son. According to him, Gautam is responsible for reopening those old wounds by bringing Tulsi back.
Gautam firmly replies that Tulsi has every legal and moral right to stay in Shantiniketan. He also believes that if Tulsi had never left, the family would never have reached the point where the house was divided.
The brothers continue blaming each other for every problem that has torn the family apart.
Karan declares that Gautam should now bear the consequences of his own actions.
Gautam calmly says he is prepared to face whatever comes.
Karan then questions Gautam’s competence as a lawyer, claiming he failed to complete the necessary legal paperwork. Gautam asks Damini why Karan keeps making him the scapegoat for everything.
Karan insists Gautam secretly wanted the partition of the house from the very beginning and claims that is precisely what brought Tulsi back.
Gautam, however, refuses to believe Tulsi truly wants to collect rent from her own family. He feels there must be a deeper reason behind her decision.
The argument grows even more emotional when Karan says Tulsi no longer has any rights over him.
Nandini immediately corrects him, reminding everyone that Tulsi legally owns the house and has every right to make decisions regarding Shantiniketan.
Despite Nandini’s words, Gautam and Karan continue accusing one another. Gautam remembers how Karan repeatedly insulted Tulsi after her return.
Karan emotionally tells Damini that he never wants his children to see Tulsi because, in his eyes, she no longer exists as their grandmother.
Although Gautam remains upset about the rent decision, he still refuses to question Tulsi’s intentions.
Elsewhere, Gayatri and Sobha happily discuss Tulsi’s powerful return to the family.
Gayatri says Tulsi handled both Karan and Gautam single-handedly and proved that she still has complete control over the family.
Sobha agrees that Tulsi fearlessly stood up to both brothers.
Gayatri believes Tulsi’s decisions have a much bigger purpose. According to her, Tulsi is not trying to punish anyone but is slowly working toward reuniting the divided family once again.
She emotionally says Baa and Savita Didi would have been proud to see Tulsi standing strong and protecting Shantiniketan.
Although Sobha is still hurt because Tulsi has not spoken to her properly, Gayatri advises her not to overthink and assures her that Tulsi’s silence also has a reason.
Both women admire Tulsi’s confident new avatar and feel hopeful about the family’s future.
Later, Maharaj asks Tulsi from which side of the divided house she wants her tea and where she plans to cook now that the house is separated. He jokingly reminds her that whichever side she chooses will also have to pay rent.
Meanwhile, Damini asks Nakul to meet Komal as part of an arranged marriage proposal.
Nakul immediately refuses, making it clear that he has no interest in meeting another girl.
Watching the conversation from a distance, Tulsi subtly remarks that parents should always ask their children before deciding their marriages.
Her meaningful statement catches everyone’s attention.
Suspicious, Gautam asks Nakul whether someone else already holds a place in his heart.
Nakul remains silent, hinting that Tulsi’s intuition may already be leading her toward the truth.
The episode ends.
