The latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata Hai opens with the Poddars rushing Ruhi to the hospital. Sanjay, visibly annoyed, questions Armaan and Abhira for their involvement, insisting that Kaveri would not approve. Armaan, unfazed, fires back, remarking that Sanjay is capable of causing a scene anywhere. Sanjay harshly reminds them that they are no longer family, but Manish firmly counters, saying, “Abhira is Ruhi’s sister and has every right to be there.” He hands little Daksh to Abhira, offering her silent support.
Meanwhile, Kiara crosses paths with Charu and talks about Abhir. When Kiara catches sight of Abhir, he quickly hides, uncertain about facing her. Upon hearing about Ruhi’s condition, Kiara urges Charu to accompany her to the hospital. The news weighs heavily on Abhir, leaving him restless with worry. Abhira, however, comforts Daksh with soothing words, assuring him, “Ruhi will be fine.”
Swarna later confronts Abhira, questioning how she plans to handle the inevitable revelation of the surrogacy secret. She warns her to consider the potential fallout. Abhira, torn and anxious, opens up to Armaan, expressing her fear that she could never forgive herself if something happened to Ruhi due to their IVF procedure. In response, Armaan tries to uplift her spirits, encouraging her to stay hopeful.
The Poddars soon receive news confirming Ruhi’s pregnancy. Vidya joyfully congratulates Ruhi and Rohit, but her words carry a sting as she reflects on Abhira and Armaan’s misfortune. The family surrounds Ruhi and Rohit with warm wishes.
Sanjay’s hostility escalates as he demands that Armaan and Abhira leave. Despite the celebrations, Armaan remains troubled. He silently observes how Ruhi is showered with affection and blessings while Abhira’s presence goes unnoticed. The thought of the family’s reaction once the surrogacy secret is out haunts him. Though Armaan’s thoughts are conflicted, Abhira’s focus remains solely on Ruhi’s well-being.
Ruhi, still burdened by anxiety, expresses her concern about Swarna’s judgment. Swarna advises her to be cautious and ensure her pregnancy remains safe. Armaan, determined to contribute in his own way, insists on paying Ruhi’s hospital bill. He explains to Abhira, “It makes me feel like I’m doing something for my baby’s well-being.” The weight of the secret continues to linger as Armaan contemplates revealing the truth to the family.
Similarly, Rohit feels a strong urge to come clean, believing that Abhira and Armaan deserve the family’s support. However, Ruhi and Abhira persuade him to stay silent. Ruhi insists that the early months of pregnancy are delicate and fears that Kaveri’s reaction would only add unnecessary stress. Despite Armaan’s reluctance, Ruhi stands firm in her decision.
Later, Manish captures a photo of Armaan, Abhira, Ruhi, and Rohit, commemorating the moment. His face shows a mix of emotions as he takes the picture. Following this, he turns to Abhira, requesting her assistance with a case. He also gently instructs Ruhi to rest, concerned for her health. Abhira agrees, determined to support her family in any way she can.
While the family celebrates, the burden of hidden truths weighs heavily on Abhira, Armaan, Ruhi, and Rohit. Each passing moment leaves them wondering how long they can keep the reality concealed. The uncertainty looms large, casting a shadow over their fleeting moments of joy.
