The latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata Hai begins with Abhira stopping Kaveri just as she is about to burn Madhav and his first wife’s picture. She questions her, demanding answers. Kaveri, unsettled, starts to suspect that Abhira might already know about Shivani. At the same time, Abhira begins to wonder if Kaveri is hiding the truth about Armaan’s biological mother. Instead of responding, Kaveri avoids her questions.
Meanwhile, Sanjay approaches Manish, suggesting they leave the past behind. Manish agrees and forgives him. The Poddar family extends a warm welcome to the Goenkas. Amid the gathering, Ruhi makes a remark, hinting that Abhir’s wedding will bring unforeseen twists for both families.
Armaan starts looking for Abhira, unaware that RK has begun to question Kaveri’s honesty. He realizes she never invited him as she claimed, making him doubt her real motives. He too starts searching for Abhira.
Abhir, eager to see Charu, is asked by Manish to wait. Meanwhile, Abhira, disheartened after failing to uncover the truth about Armaan’s mother, finds herself lost in thought. As she moves forward, she accidentally collides with Armaan. Seeing tears in her eyes, he gently asks if he is the reason behind them. Abhira, unwilling to reveal the turmoil within, chooses to remain silent.
Vidya, on the other hand, confronts Madhav about Shivani. Though Madhav insists Shivani is no longer a part of his life, Vidya presses him further, asking if he would ever choose her over Shivani. Madhav reassures her, saying, “You are my present and future.” His words bring a wave of emotions to Vidya.
Armaan, burdened with guilt, confesses to Abhira that he regrets hurting her. He explains that he wanted to help her but was stopped by RK. He makes it clear that he will not interfere between her and RK. Abhira is stunned. She realizes that Armaan thinks she has accepted RK’s proposal. Unable to hold back, she confronts him, questioning how he could assume she had moved on. Both admit they do not want to be apart.
Their moment is interrupted when RK arrives with shocking news that Charu is missing. The revelation leaves both families in distress. Abhira reassures Abhir, vowing to find Charu. RK wastes no time and leaves to search for her. Meanwhile, Sanjay questions Abhir about the last conversation he had with Charu. Abhir recalls that she was deeply concerned about Kiara.
Elsewhere, Shivani makes up her mind to leave town. However, before departing, she wishes to meet RK and Abhira one last time.
As Abhira learns of Charu’s disappearance, Abhir starts to believe that she betrayed him. He assumes she ran away because she wanted him to marry Kiara. Armaan, refusing to accept this, defends Charu, trying to make Abhir see reason. However, Abhir stands firm, convinced that Charu abandoned him.
Ruhi attempts to comfort Abhir, but Abhira gently advises her to give him space. The storm of emotions continues to swirl, leaving everyone anxious about what comes next.
