In this episode of 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi', Tulsi explains Parth's upbringing to Vaishnavi. She tells her that Parth grew up in a lavish environment where he always knew his father's business would eventually be his. His mother fulfilled all his desires. For the first time, however, he faced a real challenge. His competitor was a man raised by Karan. Tulsi admits that she never taught Parth how to handle emotions, especially misunderstandings with girls.
Vaishnavi understands Parth's condition and tries to convince him. She asks him not to waste time since her birthday celebration is approaching. Parth is somewhat convinced, and they feed cake to each other, but he leaves feeling disturbed.
Parth opens up about his guilt
Tulsi later finds Parth alone in his room. He opens up about his pain and speaks of Nandini's suffering because of Rio's position. He talks about her feeling of partiality towards Rio and the suffocation Nandini feels because of his presence. Parth confesses his guilt for not being able to do anything for her and wishes he had been there for Nandini when she needed him. Tulsi tells him she was there. She helped Parth understand Nandini’s condition and told him to deal with the situation with patience and maturity.
She reminds him that his aggression is hurting his relationship with Vaishnavi. Tulsi tells him to never bottle up his feelings but share them with someone he trusts. Parth agrees and emotionally hugs Tulsi.
Tulsi then stops Gautam from leaving. Everyone is surprised when Karan arrives. Parth, Samaira, Nandini and Rio greet him happily. Karan and Niyati exchange greetings awkwardly. Niyati thanks Karan for what he did for them in the past. Gautam asks Karan about Mihir. Karan explains that Mihir is busy with work in the U.S. and that he came because Tulsi called him.
Tulsi calls Karan for advice
Gautam questions Tulsi about why she called Karan so suddenly. Tulsi explains that she made a decision in everyone's presence, but since some members agreed and others did not, she wanted to discuss it with Karan as well. Gautam argues that such matters could wait, but Tulsi insists it was necessary. Karan reassures her that it's fine. She called him and asked if the matter was related to the power of attorney. Nandini had already mentioned this to him. Tulsi clarifies that Gautam, Damini, Hemant and Pooja were involved in the decision, but since Karan was not, she wanted his input.
Karan says no one has a problem with Tulsi's decision. Nandini interrupts and claims Tulsi called him only to complain about her. Karan scolds Nandini for speaking that way. Tulsi insists it wasn't solely her decision. Karan then explains that Tulsi gave Parth a challenge. While Parth did well, Rio's idea was innovative and beneficial for the company's future, so he deserved the position. Nandini argues that Parth joined Virani Industries, and everyone appreciated his creativity and profits. Rio, being new, doesn't know much about the company. She apologises to Rio, clarifying it isn't about him, but questions how he could get the position so easily.
Nandini's shocking revelation
Niyati interrupts and says it was Tulsi and the elders' decision, so Nandini shouldn't complain. Nandini snaps back, saying Niyati just came into the house and has no right to speak. Rio grows angry at Nandini's behaviour toward Niyati. Nandini then declares that the household is running only because Karan sends money every month. He covers losses and keeps the family afloat.
