Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 28th September 2026 Written Update: Karan Decides to Divorce Nandini as Tulsi Defends Her
Tulsi Defends Nandini Against Her Children’s Anger
The episode begins with the tension inside the family refusing to settle down. The younger members are still struggling to accept Nandini’s decision, and their resentment toward her continues to grow.
Tulsi decides that it is time to address the situation directly.
She gathers Samrat, Raunak, Garima and Nakul and gives them a firm reality check. Tulsi asks them to stop judging Nandini so harshly and reminds them that whatever happened, Nandini remains their mother.
Tulsi explains that Nandini did not make an ordinary decision. She was forced into an unimaginable situation where she had to choose between her own son Parth and Vaishnavi’s life.
According to Tulsi, terminating her own son’s life was the most heartbreaking sacrifice Nandini could have been forced to make. A mother’s love was pushed to its cruelest possible test, and Nandini had to choose what she believed was right.
Tulsi asks the children to look beyond their anger and understand the pain behind Nandini’s decision.
She does not ask them to forget what happened. Instead, she wants them to understand that Nandini did not walk into such a decision without suffering herself.
For Tulsi, the situation is particularly personal because she understands what it means to make an agonising sacrifice for someone else.
Mihir Begins Suspecting Something About Anupam
The story then shifts to Mihir and Anupam.
Mihir has a serious conversation with Anupam about his upcoming business venture. He questions why Anupam is so determined to expand his operations in Mumbai when the city is currently considered unsafe.
Anupam maintains a professional attitude and explains that when a major business opportunity comes along, personal concerns cannot always take priority.
He insists that business commitments sometimes require difficult decisions, and he is prepared to go ahead with the venture.
Mandira senses that the conversation could lead somewhere dangerous.
She immediately tries to interrupt the discussion and steer the topic elsewhere.
Mihir, though, is not ready to let it go.
He starts asking Anupam about his personal life and casually enquires about his children.
Anupam reveals their names — Angad, Ritik and Pari.
The moment Mihir hears the names, something changes in his expression.
A flash of suspicion and disturbance crosses his face.
Mandira immediately notices Mihir’s reaction and becomes anxious. She clearly does not want him to dig any deeper into Anupam’s past.
Mihir quickly moves away from the subject, choosing not to reveal what is going through his mind.
Anupam Is Torn Between Mihir and Mandira
After the conversation, Anupam is left alone with his thoughts.
He reflects on Mihir and Tulsi and the values they have given their children.
The more he thinks about them, the more conflicted he becomes.
Anupam feels that the injustice done to Mihir must somehow be corrected. Deep inside, he wants Mihir and Tulsi to reunite.
At the same time, his relationship with Mandira holds him back.
Anupam remembers that Mandira is his sister and, more importantly, the person who helped him survive when he had no one else.
Because of that gratitude, he finds himself unable to simply turn against her.
He knows that Mandira has done wrong, but exposing everything would also mean betraying the person he credits with saving his life.
Anupam is therefore trapped between two loyalties.
He wants to do the right thing for Mihir, but his gratitude toward Mandira prevents him from taking an easy stand.
Karan Breaks Down Before Tulsi
Back at home, Karan finally breaks down in front of Tulsi.
Overwhelmed by everything that has happened, he apologises for his recent behaviour and admits that his anger has taken over because of the situation surrounding Nandini and Parth.
Tulsi listens to him but refuses to simply comfort him.
Instead, she confronts Karan about his inability to understand Nandini’s position.
She asks him a difficult question.
Could Nandini really have stood silently and watched Vaishnavi die?
Tulsi asks Karan whether protecting her own son should have mattered more than saving another innocent life when the two choices were placed directly against each other.
She then reminds him of something from their own painful past.
Tulsi tells Karan that when she had taken Ansh’s life to save Nandini, Karan had stood beside her.
He had never pointed a finger at Tulsi or treated her as a monster for making that impossible decision.
Tulsi now asks him why he is judging Nandini differently for making a similarly heartbreaking choice.
Her words leave Karan emotional, but they also expose the real reason behind his anger.
Karan Reveals Why He Cannot Forgive Nandini
Karan finally confesses that Parth’s death is not actually the only reason he is angry with Nandini.
His real pain is the distance that Nandini created between him and Tulsi.
Karan admits that this emotional separation has hurt him deeply.
For him, the damage caused by that distance is something he cannot simply overlook.
He tells Tulsi that he has reached a point where he no longer believes he can continue his marriage with Nandini.
Then comes the shocking revelation.
Karan has decided to divorce Nandini.
Tulsi is left stunned.
After everything she has just told him about Nandini’s sacrifice, Karan still believes that the damage to his relationship and family has gone too far.
His decision changes the situation completely.
This is no longer just about anger or resentment. Karan is now prepared to take a legal step that could permanently end his marriage.
Karan Approaches a Lawyer
Determined to follow through on his decision, Karan meets a legal advocate to begin the divorce proceedings.
The advocate asks him to explain the legal grounds for the divorce and, more importantly, the actual reason behind the separation.
Karan is suddenly unable to answer.
He freezes.
Until this point, he has been able to express his anger privately and blame Nandini for the emotional destruction within the family.
Putting the truth on paper is different.
If he wants the divorce proceedings to move forward, he will have to put the bitter reality behind his decision on record.
Karan is forced to confront the fact that his personal resentment cannot simply remain an emotional accusation. He will now have to explain exactly what happened and why he believes the marriage can no longer continue.
The episode ends on this tense note, leaving Karan facing the difficult reality of the decision he has just made.
Precap: Tulsi Decides to Fly to the USA to Find Mihir
The upcoming episode takes the story toward another major development.
Anupam directly questions Mandira and asks whether she really has the power to stop Mihir from travelling to Mumbai.
He warns her that even if she succeeds in preventing Mihir from going to Mumbai, she cannot stop Tulsi from travelling to the USA.
At the same time, Gautam is left completely stunned when Tulsi announces that she has decided to fly to the USA.
Her goal is clear — she wants to find Mihir and bring him back home.
Review
This episode gives Nandini’s track some much-needed emotional weight. Tulsi does not blindly defend her; she forces everyone to look at the impossible choice Nandini was facing. Her comparison with her own decision involving Ansh is particularly powerful because it exposes the double standard Karan is applying.
Karan’s revelation is the real bombshell, though. His anger was never just about Parth. His deeper wound is the distance between him and Tulsi, and that finally explains why his resentment toward Nandini has become so intense.
The divorce decision takes the family drama to another level because Karan now has to explain his emotions legally, not just emotionally. That should make the next track interesting.
The Mihir-Anupam-Mandira angle is quietly building tension in the background. Mihir’s reaction to Anupam’s children’s names suggests that his suspicions are getting sharper, while Anupam remains stuck between truth and loyalty.
And then Tulsi deciding to fly to the USA? That is the kind of move that can completely shake up the story. She is done waiting from a distance and is ready to look for Mihir herself.
