The Zee TV show Kumkum Bhagya, produced by Balaji Telefilms, has seen engaging drama with Bua Maa instigating Shivansh (Namik Paul) against Prarthana (Pranali Rathod) as Seema demands alimony. However, Shivansh doesn’t believe it, but a confirmation Prarthana leaves him shattered. Today, 18 August, episode 3172 starts with Shivansh leaving the room where Prarthana expresses her wish to get Shivansh back in her life to her sister Gayatri.

Gayatri tells Prarthana they have to continue their drama of wishing to leave Shivansh. Meanwhile, Seema enters, and Prarthana makes a bold statement. She vows to win Shivansh back. As Prarthana gets close to Shivansh, he becomes unable to hold himself. Shivansh warns her that if she stands so close to him, he might hug her, speaking his feelings for her. Prarthana is left spellbound, and Shivansh hugs her.

On the other hand, Sonalika is pissed with Prarthana and her family. Also, she becomes curious, wondering where Shivansh will sleep now that Prarthana has returned. Unable to hold herself, Sonalika directly asks Shivansh where he will sleep. Shivansh, with an obvious reaction, answers that he will sleep in his room, but Sonalika raises her concern that in his room, Prarthana will be sleeping. But Shivansh, with a carefree manner, responds with ‘so what’. He tells her that Prarthana will sleep on the bed and he will settle on the sofa, which Sonalika finds difficult to digest.

Sonalika dislikes Prarthana’s comeback and discusses it with Bua Maa and Taniya. However, Sonalika or no one can remove Prarthana and her family from the house, which is why Sonalika plans to target Prarthana’s family. She informs Bua Maa and Taniya that they will make it difficult for Prarthana’s family to survive in the house, ultimately leading to their victory.

Will Sonalika succeed in her plan, or will Prarthana turn out to be way smarter?
