In the latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata Hai Armaan returned home, only to be met with Shivani’s eager eyes. She informed him that Abhira had gone to garage looking for him. Curious, she asked if they had resolved their differences. Armaan hesitated, his silence giving her hope. Believing he had accepted Abhira, she decided to wait for him to speak when he was ready. Meanwhile, Armaan was lost in thought, wondering why Abhira’s love for him was so deep. Guilt crept in, knowing he had hurt her. As night fell, they both drifted off to sleep, carrying their unresolved emotions.
The next morning brought fresh turmoil. Armaan discovered that Abhira and Shivani had left for the temple. Just as he was processing that, he was given a task that rattled him, he had to deliver a car to the Poddar house. Panic surged through him. Desperate to avoid the situation, he asked his boss if someone else could handle it. But his boss replied that everyone is out for holi celebration including himself so Arman has to do the job and he also reminded him that Arman is going to have half of the payment. Left with no choice, he prepared himself for an encounter he had been dreading.
At the Goenka house, the Holi festivities were in the air. Kiara greeted Manish, Swarna, and Surekha with bright smiles, wishing them a joyful Holi. Manish and Swarna exchanged affectionate words, reminiscing about their bond. Kiara, watching them, whispered her wish to have a love story as strong as theirs with Abhir. Just then, Ruhi arrived unexpectedly. Manish’s eyes narrowed. “Why are you here?” he questioned. Ruhi revealed that Rohit told her to go there. Then, she asked about Abhir. Kiara sighed and said he wasn’t in the mood for celebrations. Meanwhile, Manish turned to Daksh and urged him to act his age.
Elsewhere, Abhir found himself in a heated moment with Kiara. She had shared a picture of them on social media, and it irked him. He scolded her for making their relationship public. Kiara’s face fell, hurt by his reaction. The conversation then took another turn when he brought up Charu. Manish, overhearing, shook his head in disbelief. “She’s a fool for still caring about Charu.” Ruhi stood by, weighing the thought of revealing the truth that Sanjay had forced Charu to break off her wedding.
Meanwhile, the Poddar house remained silent, void of Holi colors. Kaveri, puzzled, asked why no one was celebrating. Rohit responded coldly. “Because Armaan isn’t here.” His voice held an edge as he threw a sharp remark. “Maybe you, Vidya, and Sanjay should celebrate together and count your sins.”
Then came an unexpected guest. Armaan arrived at the Poddar house, fulfilling his task of delivering the car. As he stepped in, he was greeted by Rohit, Manisha, Aryan, Krish, Madhav, Manoj, and the rest of the family. He explained why he was there, but Kaveri seized the moment. “This proves that without the Poddar surname, you are nothing,” she declared. Her words were sharp, her intention clear, she wanted him back home. Sanjay stood beside her, nodding in agreement. But Vidya wasn’t having it. She looked at Armaan and countered firmly. “He is a gem. He doesn’t need the Poddar name to shine.” Kaveri was stunned.
Armaan, determined to keep things professional, demanded his payment. In a move meant to humiliate, Sanjay tossed the money onto the floor. His voice carried a cruel command. “Pick it up.” The air in the room grew tense. Rohit and Madhav bristled with anger, while Manisha, her voice dripping with contempt, said someone who can’t respect women of his own hose how can respect money!
For a moment, Armaan considered taking the money. But before he could act, Abhira stepped forward. Her voice was steady, unwavering. “My husband will not bow down before you.” Her words echoed in the room, slicing through the tension. The moment marked a shift, one that Sanjay hadn’t expected.
Armaan and Abhira’s struggle continues.
