Parichay 25th July 2012 Written Update

The episode starts with Richa and Siddhi’s talk where Richa wants Siddhi to assure her that she will keep pretending in front of her family. Siddhi promises that and leaves. When Richa comes back home, her dad asks her why was Siddhi at their house? Richa tells him that when Siddhi had no other way to get Kunal released from the prison, so she came here to beg for her help. Her dad asks her what has she decided? Richa says that she told Siddhi that she wouldn’t save her husband, but will certainly save HER Kunal. Thakaral looks surprised and asks her what she intends to do? Richa tells him that she has so many witnesses and evidences that will prove Kunal’s innocence in court and she will surely get him released tomorrow. Thakaral tells Richa that he will make sure Kunal is punished for his deeds and will not back off from the case. Richa tries to emotionally blackmail him and tells him If he doesn’t back off then he will win this case for sure, but loose his only living child as a result.

Back at Chopra house, Veena is sick and needs to be taken to the hospital but Seema has to take her daughters for PTA so asks Siddhi If she can take Veena to the hospital. Siddhi refuses saying she has an urgent meeting and can’t take her to the hospital, but calls Richa and tells her to help Veena so she can be in their good books. While Raj is looking for the auto with sick Veena with him, Richa arrives in her car and offers them to give them lift to the hospital. At first Raj-Veena refused to take lift from her, but eventually Richa is successful in convincing them with her charm and sweet talk.

Back in the jail Richa comes to visit Kunal. Kunal is unhappy to see her and ask her if she has come to show her fake sympathy and to bad mouth Siddhi? Richa says she has genuine concern for him and has come here with solid proof which will tell him that the wife he blindly trust is actually deceiving him. Richa shows Kunal the divorce papers signed by Siddhi saying that this is the biggest prove that Siddhi doesn’t want his love and his family’s affection, but she is only after money that’s why she has made a deal with her dad to trade his freedom in return of money. After much blabbering of Richa, she hands over the divorce papers to Kunal. Kunal takes a good look at it and tells Richa he knew that she had only come to brainwash him against Siddhi, but what she doesn’t know is the kind of relationships which are connected with hearts cannot be broken by mere papers (Jo Rishtay dil se jude hote hai who kagaz se nahi tootate hai). He further says that Siddhi and Kunal can never be separated even if god himself comes between them instead of Richa. He continues that he won’t believe anything against Siddhi because Siddhi and Kunal are one, their happiness are one and their love is one and no one can ever break the bond between him and Siddhi. He further says that Richa is a liar, the papers are fake and everything she has just said is a lie. He then tears the paper and tells her to go away. Richa again tries to blabber, but Kunal screams at her and tells her to go away and tells her to also take away the torn divorce papers with her. Richa leave there fuming.

At Chopra House, Siddhi taunts Seema that they wanted her to take Veena to the hospital because they wanted money from Siddhi. She further taunts that they can’t even run their house If She doesn’t contributes financially. Seema tells her to keep her money with her as they don’t her money which she has taken from Thakaral.

Back at the jail, Raveena and Vikram are visiting Kunal and Raveena tells Kunal about Siddhi’s rude behavior towards their whole family that Siddhi neither took Veena to the hospital nor she cared to ask about her health afterwards. Vikram disagrees with Raveena, but Raveena reminds Vik about Siddhi’s behavior with Seema that how rudely she was showing off about her money and all. Kunal tells Raveena that he refuses to believe that Siddhi can do such thing willingly and he is sure Siddhi must be doing all this due to some kind of helplessness because she can’t behave with the same mother for whom she had decided to marry him. Vikram agrees with Kunal. Raveena tries to convince Kunal and Vikram that Siddhi has actually changed and doing all this for money as she wants to live for herself now. Kunal again disagrees with her and says Siddhi is not like this and Siddhi must be doing all this just to get him out of the jail. Kunal tell Raveena that he is confident that tomorrow Siddhi will not only win the case but also will gain back everyone’s trust.

Next morning Kunal is brought to the court for final hearing in checked blue shirt (must say it’s an absolute pleasure to see him in normal cloths again). Kunal asks the cops If he could talk to his wife before the hearing. Siddhi sees him looking around for her and says to herself that Kunal is still looking for her meaning he still believes that I will fight for him the court and hides saying that If she faces Kunal she won’t be able to be doubled faced in front of him. Just as she turns around to leave, Kunal sees her and asks her why didn’t she come to meet him in the prison? And what is it all that he is hearing about her from people? Siddhi says she has some urgent work in the court and she will talk to him later and leaves. Kunal is left dejected and confused. Vikram again assures Kunal that this must be Siddhi’s plan against Thakaral and they shouldn’t worry about it. As they are leaving for courtroom, Kunal’s whole family arrives and he is surprised to see his mom and asks her why she came there in-spite of being sick? Veena says that after what Siddhi has done, they are not sure if they will ever get to see him or not that’s why they all have come to see him. While they are talking their case has been called and they all go inside. Just as Veena is moving, Richa calls her from behind and tells her that she will make sure that Kunal is acquitted from the murder case as she won’t separate a son from his mother even if she has to go against her own father in the process, but she will reunite Kunal with her family. Veena cries and leaves Richa is happy and smiling.

The hearing begins and Daddy T starts the argument saying that the opposition still doesn’t have the witness they has asked the extension to present in the court, so he doesn’t have much to say about the case. Judge asks Siddhi If she has any witnesses? Siddhi says she doesn’t have any witnesses and whatever Thakaral said he true. All are shocked. Siddhi apologizes to the judge for wasting courts time and says whatever accusations Thakaral has made against Kunal is all true. All are shocked to hear her say that Kunal is indeed a murderer and has killed Rohit. She further says that she was with Kunal that night when he had that accident and Kunal killed Rohit in front of her very eyes. She concludes by saying that since Kunal is a murderer, he deserves the required sentence appropriate for a murderer. All are shocked to hear this. The entire Chopra objects to her statement, but Thakaral says now that she has admitted that Kunal is indeed a murderer, Kunal should now be punished for it.

As soon as he says that Richa enters the court and says Kunal is innocent and It’s Siddhi who has killed Rohit. Kunal is shocked to hear this. Judge asks Richa to present witnesses to prove her accusations. Thakaral objects, but Richa pleads him to do the right thing and Thakaral withdraws his case saying that the actual murderer is Siddhi and not Kunal. Richa calls her first witness – the security guard of the hotel and second witness – Gaurav Chopra who testifies that Kunal was indeed at home on the night of the accident because it was his daughter’s birthday that day. He also presents some photographs of the birthday party in which Kunal is clearly shown with the kids.

After viewing the picture, the judge declares Kunal not guilty and announces life in prison sentence to Siddhi. The judge also debarred Thakaral for 5 years for intentionally misleading the court. Court is adjourned. Episode ends with Kunal coming out of the witness box and hugging his mother while looking at crying Siddhi.

Precap: Kunal asking Siddhi why didn’t she tell him anything? Siddhi replies angrily that she knows that Kunal was also part of the plan with Richa and Thakaral to do this to her and leaves.
