The wait is almost over! After that soul-crushing cliffhanger where Mercan left a goodbye letter and vanished, Arafta Episode 36 (which includes the high-stakes Episodes 81 and 82) is officially set to drop on Monday, March 9, 2026. For fans in India, the new chapters usually hit streaming platforms like Dailymotion and YouTube around 9:30 PM IST, shortly after the original broadcast on Kanal 7 in Turkey. Everyone is anxious to see if Ateş—who recently discovered he is actually Tahir—can track down Mercan before her guilt over her father’s past secrets drives her away for good.
Expect some heavy-duty drama and maybe a few tissues in this next batch of episodes. The story is shifting from a simple revenge plot to a deep emotional struggle as Mercan learns the truth about her kidney transplant and how it connects to the death of Ateş’s sister, Eylül. While the main couple is going through a rough patch, fans can at least look forward to some cute moments with the second-lead favorites, Demet and Cemal, who are finally getting closer. It’s a total rollercoaster, so make sure your notifications are on for Monday night!
