Enter Kabir , the estranged younger brother of Aarav. Unlike the previous four episodes where Kabir played a supportive role, turns the heat up. In a rain-soaked garden scene (a classic trope reimagined for 2023), Kabir confesses his long-held love for Riya. The dialogue is raw, laced with double entendres about "rights over a bahu " and "living your own truth."
