TV Shows

Hello there, my TV show fanatics! Get ready for some heartbreak, drama, and maybe even a budding romance in the upcoming Kumkum Bhagya episodes. Want to know what happens in Kumkum Bhagya upcoming story? Let me give you my take on it. The recent episodes have been a rollercoaster of emotions, not just for the characters but also for the fans of this evergreen TV show. Just as the new gen’s story started with Prarthana and Raunak, everyone was rooting for this adorable couple to get together. But then we saw someone new in Kumkum Bhagya – Shivansh! He came in like a storm and completely changed the course of the story. Shivansh married Prarthana to hurt Raunak and Smita. But in this process, he also hurt Prarthana. In this case, when Raunak is fighting to get Prarthana back, whom will she choose? Her friend Raunak or her husband Shivansh? Read on to know what I think based on the Kumkum Bhagya latest news!

A Classic Love Triangle: Prarthana, Shivansh, and Raunak

Prarthana’s life hasn’t been easy. First, her image was spoiled, then she was being forced to marry Bhavesh. And just when I thought Prarthana’s life was getting sorted, bam! Shivansh enters to stir the pot. How does the situation look for Prarthana in the Kumkum Bhagya upcoming story after this unexpected marriage? Let’s see:

  • Raunak has been her rock — kind, supportive, and emotionally invested. He’s the guy who wears his heart on his sleeve and genuinely respects Prarthana. He’s her best friend who also deeply loves her.
  • Shivansh, on the other hand, is the wild card. Mysterious, intense, and emotionally complex. He shares a past with the Zaveris and married Prarthana just to hurt them. But he’s her husband, and if you know Prarthana, you know that’s hard to ignore for her.

And now, Prarthana is standing at a crossroads — with two men, two different relations, and one life-altering decision to make.

Who Will Prarthana Choose in Kumkum Bhagya Upcoming Story?

If Kumkum Bhagya’s latest stories are anything to go by, I feel like Prarthana will have to make this big decision soon. On one side, she overheard Shivansh say that he will soon leave her for the sake of his Bua Maa. On the other hand is Raunak, her friend who loves her and is fighting for her freedom. But did you notice something in the Kumkum Bhagya episode aired on 15th May 2025? When Raunak got the divorce papers, Prarthana wasn’t eager to sign them. In fact, she looked hesitant.

Now, some of you might feel this is because she’s a meek girl. But I don’t think that’s the case. Prarthana is someone who respects customs and traditions. She values relationships. She won’t leave Shivansh even if he married her by hiding under the veil. Moreover, in the Kumkum Bhagya episode from 16th May, 2025, Prarthana learned the truth about Shivansh. She found out that Smita Zaveri is his biological mother. Knowing what an empath Prarthana is, she won’t choose Raunak over Shivansh. At least, that’s what I feel.

Moreover, in the spoiler for Kumkum Bhagya episode on 19th May 2025, we saw Smita talking to Prarthana and blaming her for everything(as usual). Meanwhile, Raunak is desperate to get Prarthana back into his life.

In the Kumkum Bhagya upcoming story, we might see Raunak coming back to Prarthana, asking her to leave Shivansh. But I feel there’s a high chance that she will choose to stay with Shivansh. Here are some reasons she could do that:

  1. She sympathizes with Shivansh after learning the truth.
  2. She doesn’t want clashes between the brothers.
  3. She doesn’t want Shivansh to do anything drastic to hurt the Zaveris.
  4. She values the marital bond too much to break it.

So, if such a situation arises, Prarthana could choose Shivansh over Raunak. While this will completely shatter Raunak, Shivansh might start softening up to Prarthana. And now that new budding romance would be a delightful watch.
