The latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata Hai begins as Abhira stood frozen. The news of Armaan setting the divorce date hit her like a storm. Her heart raced, yet she remained silent. Meanwhile, Kiara approached Charu with an apology. The weight of past anger lifted as they reconciled. Kiara then dropped another bombshell disclosing that she had proposed to Abhir. Charu stared, stunned. She insisted Abhir didn’t love Kiara, but Kiara dismissed her concerns. She believed love could grow over time, just as it had with Armaan and Abhira. Charu remained unconvinced, while Kiara glowed with excitement at the thought of marrying Abhir.
Shivani, curious about RK, asked about him. RK, quick on his feet, pretended to be on a call with Abhira. He assured Shivani she was busy. Shivani, delighted to hear this, sent silent prayers for Abhira’s happiness. RK then turned to Abhira and advised her to let go of work-related stress and focus on herself instead.
Memories of their love confessions filled both Abhira and Armaan’s minds. Abhira questioned why she still thought about Armaan despite his decision. Armaan, too, found himself wondering about her choice to end things. Regret and emotions tugged at them, but neither voiced their feelings.
The Poddars gathered to celebrate Basant Panchami. Manisha noticed Vidya’s eyes fixed on the stairs. When questioned, Vidya brushed it off, saying she was waiting for Kajal. Kaveri, puzzled by Armaan’s black attire, asked about it. He replied firmly that he was headed to court to finalize the divorce. And disclosed that Abhira had chosen the date for their separation.
Swarna worried about Abhira’s unwillingness to participate in the puja. Manish listened as Surekha suggested speaking to the Poddars, but he refused. Meanwhile, Madhav confronted Armaan. He had hoped Armaan had learned from his past, but Armaan dismissed the idea. He lamented the relationship had ended long before he had a chance to mend it. Manisha, desperate, urged Vidya to intervene and stop Armaan, but she refused. Armaan remained firm in his decision.
Charu, lost in prayer, wished for Abhir’s well-being. Kiara interrupted, asking who she was praying for. Charu mentioned Abhira and Armaan. Kiara, unfazed, revealed she had spent 25 lakhs on a guitar for Abhir. Shocked, Charu scolded her for wasting Manoj’s money. But Kiara simply shrugged, showing no remorse.
Abhira, gathering courage, decided to face the court alone. She asked the Goenkas to pray for her. Manish, worried, insisted on going with her. But Abhira refused, determined to do this by herself. Meanwhile, Kaveri wanted to accompany Armaan, but he stopped her.
Sanjay, Armaan, and Charu waited at the court. Charu pleaded with the judge to give Abhira more time. As the moment neared, something shifted within Abhira. Standing alone, she realized the true significance of Basant Panchami. It was a day for celebrating love, devotion, and togetherness. Suddenly, the weight of the decision hit her differently. Her heart whispered a new truth. She turned away from the court, making up her mind. Divorce was no longer the path she wanted to take.
