The drama intensifies in "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2" as Mihir's absence from the Virani household continues to create tension, Pari's deceitful schemes are revealed, and a past enemy resurfaces. Noina, who is caring for Mihir while he stays at his office, urges him to return home, but he resists. Meanwhile, Angad finds himself protecting Vrinda from the unwanted advances of a returning Viren, leading to a physical confrontation.

Mihir's absence stems from a disagreement with Tulsi after a courtroom statement, which led him to leave the Virani residence. Despite Tulsi's attempts to reconcile and bring him back to family traditions, Mihir remains distant. He even chose to perform a pooja at his office with Noina instead of attending Baa's birthday celebration at home.

Noina's concern for Mihir grows, and she is secretly in love with him. She discovers Pari's affair with Ranvijay and confronts her. However, Pari manipulates Noina and enlists her help in her plan to marry Ranvijay, even alluding to Noina's feelings for Mihir.

Adding to the turmoil, Viren returns to the Virani household after his arrest and sets his sights on Vrinda. He proposes to her, but she refuses. When Viren oversteps his boundaries and touches Vrinda, Angad intervenes and punches Viren. Enraged, Viren warns Angad that he has started a new fight. The return of Viren is expected to bring significant changes to the storyline, and it remains to be seen how Angad and Vrinda's relationship will evolve as Angad takes it upon himself to protect Vrinda from Viren's clutches. It is also unclear what Viren's motives are regarding Tulsi, who had him arrested.
