Mera Balam Thanedaar 25th September 2024 Written Episode Update
The episode kicks off with Bulbul dropping a bombshell—she is still underage, and this was true even when she got married. Sulakshana is shocked and refuses to believe it, immediately demanding that Vardhan make Bulbul confess the truth. Amid the rising tension, Bulbul tries to soothe Sulakshana, urging her not to cry and to take care of her health.
Soon, Gita arrives. Vardhan, highly skeptical of Bulbul’s intentions, suggests she is covering for someone else, likely Drishti. He accuses Bulbul of shielding Drishti’s mistake. However, Bulbul firmly stands by her words, admitting that this time, she is indeed the one at fault.
Enraged, Sulakshana slaps Bulbul, accusing her of betraying the values of respect and good upbringing she was taught. She expresses her disappointment, feeling betrayed by the woman she once thought to be the ideal daughter-in-law. Chaos erupts in the family, with Vardhan blaming Bulbul for concealing the truth about her age, while Vayu, heartbroken, questions why she didn’t trust him enough to share her secret.
Veer, guilt-ridden and distraught, calls Dhruv, instructing him to come and arrest him, as he feels he is the one responsible. Sulakshana tries to intervene, insisting Veer is not at fault.
Bulbul, in an emotional revelation, admits she was unaware of being underage until after her marriage. She explains that her father had forged her birth certificate, while her mother, who knew the truth, was silenced by her father’s threats. Bulbul shares how her mother once tried to reveal everything, but the letter she wrote as evidence was tragically destroyed in a temple fire.
Gita backs up Bulbul’s confession, adding that Bulbul wanted to end the marriage upon learning the truth, but Gita had convinced her otherwise. Consumed by guilt, Bulbul confesses she feared Veer would lose his job if the truth came out. Despite their unplanned marriage, Bulbul reveals her deep love for Veer, hoping their bond would last a lifetime.
Bulbul further explains that she intended to tell Veer the truth on her 18th birthday and start fresh. However, after learning about the POCSO Act, she panicked. She had planned to legally register their marriage after turning 18, but her plans crumbled.
Veer, devastated by her admission, accuses her of being more manipulative than a criminal, saying she deceived him while keeping her secret intact. He feels utterly betrayed, believing she aligned with Siddharth to safeguard herself. Veer, overwhelmed by shame, declares he can no longer wear his police uniform, as Bulbul has destroyed everything.
In a dramatic twist, Veer insists that the Commissioner arrest him for marrying a minor. Even as Sulakshana protests, Veer is adamant that his uniform is tarnished and that he can no longer enforce the law after breaking it. Just as Veer is about to be taken into custody, Bulbul intervenes, stepping forward and placing herself in handcuffs. She confesses that she, not Veer, is guilty and assumes full responsibility. Bulbul reveals that her father falsified her birth certificate, which Drishti later used to finalize the marriage registration.
Siddharth steps in to support Bulbul’s claims, explaining that Bulbul intentionally postponed the marriage registration until after her 18th birthday to ensure everything was legal. He presents the court receipt to Veer as evidence. Meanwhile, Drishti, watching from the sidelines, is furious, determined not to let Bulbul come out looking like the hero. Despite the turmoil, Bulbul remains steadfast. She reassures Veer that she won’t allow their family to fall apart and declares her undying love for him. She begs the Commissioner to punish her, not Veer, as she is the one at fault.
The Commissioner acknowledges Bulbul’s words, stating that only she and her parents knew the real truth. As the episode nears its conclusion, Bulbul pleads to take all the blame, sparing Veer from any punishment.
This intense episode keeps viewers hooked, as they are left wondering what will become of Bulbul and Veer, and whether their love can survive such a heavy burden of secrets and betrayal.
