In the latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, emotions, secrets, and celebrations filled the Poddar household. The evening began with Abhira, quietly slipping into the kitchen. With Kaveri’s birthday the next day, she wanted to surprise her with something special. Focused and determined, she started working on the preparations without alerting anyone in the house.
While Abhira was busy, Ruhi entered the kitchen for a glass of water. Noticing Abhira deep in preparations, curiosity took over. She asked if she could help, but Abhira gently turned her down. Instead, she offered Ruhi a seat, suggesting she relax and talk if she wanted to give company. The tension that once clouded their relationship seemed to soften in that quiet kitchen conversation. When Ruhi asked why Armaan and Abhira didn’t have their dinner Abhira decided not to spill the truth about Abhir, rather she settled her down with an excuse.
As dawn arrived, Abhira was the first to greet Kaveri with birthday wishes. Though Kaveri responded kindly, it was clear she was expecting more. Her eyes lingered on the empty hallway, quietly hoping for the rest of the family to appear. Trying to brush off her disappointment, Kaveri remarked that she never cared for birthday parties. Abhira, quick to pick up on her hidden feelings, teased her by saying she probably liked the attention but refused to admit it. It brought a small, reluctant smile to Kaveri’s face.
Just as it seemed the day might go unnoticed, the family had other plans. In a sudden, heartwarming turn, everyone gathered in the living room. Balloons, ribbons, and bright decorations transformed the space. Kaveri was left speechless. Emotion washed over her as she stood in the middle of the surprise setup. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she realised how deeply she was cherished.
The celebration kicked off with cake-cutting, laughter, and music. The entire family joined in, creating memories in that shared space of love and joy. In the middle of this, Armaan, spotted Ruhi heading towards the dance floor. With genuine concern, he gently stopped her, reminding her of her pregnancy. “Careful, you’ll hurt yourself,” he said, his worry evident. Later Abhira cheered her by dancing with her. The happiness, the warmth was clearly visible on their face.
But while the family was wrapped in celebration, another corner of the house braced for turmoil. Krish, Swarna, and Kaajal, while passing by, unintentionally overheard a private conversation. The voices belonged to Abhira and Charu. The three of them froze as the truth about a secret affair between the two came to light.
The information landed like a blow, catching them off guard. The festive air around them seemed to fade as the weight of what they had just discovered settled in. Kaajal’s expression shifted from joy to disbelief. Swarna, too stunned to speak, exchanged a look with Krish, who appeared equally shaken.
The party carried on in the background, unaware of the brewing storm. While Kaveri was surrounded by smiles and heartfelt wishes, three family members stood aside, burdened by the secret they now carried.
With the truth now out, it’s only a matter of time before the peace is shattered and consequences unfold.
