The latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata Hai opens with Pandit Ji offering prasad to Ruhi and Rohit. Ruhi hesitates, and when Manisha questions her, she attributes her discomfort to the heat. Concerned, Rohit escorts her outside to get some air. They request Abhira and Arman to accept the prasad on their behalf. Manisha comments that Arman and Abhira should have taken part in the puja. Kajal speculates that they might have felt uneasy. Manisha then decides to call them.
Meanwhile, Sanjay grows wary, noticing the disguised presence of Abhira and Arman. Despite the tension, Rohit praises them, calling them “the best.” When Abhira offers the prasad to Ruhi, she refuses, arguing that it’s meant solely for the baby’s parents. Abhira reassures her, stating, “You are a parent too.” Suddenly, Ruhi stumbles, prompting Abhira to urge her to take care of herself.
Sanjay remains determined to uncover the truth, vowing to expose Ruhi, Abhira, Rohit, and Arman. At the same time, Kiara questions Charu about entering an engaged room. Charu quickly build up a story about a meeting. However, Kiara remains doubtful, sensing something amiss. Despite Abhir’s insistence, her suspicion lingers.
Later, Abhira and Arman excitedly shop for baby toys. Witnessing their joy, Vidya misinterprets their actions, assuming they are expecting a second child. Filled with delight, she envisions the arrival of another baby. Sanjay, on the other hand, suspects Abhira and Arman might be planning to adopt Ruhi and Rohit’s child. Intent on confirming his theory, he rushes to inform Kaveri.
Kaveri warmly congratulates Ruhi and Rohit, expressing her wish for a easier pregnancy this time. She plans to present a family ring to the unborn baby. Vidya suggests gifting another ring, mistakenly believing that Abhira is also pregnant. This adds to Ruhi and Rohit’s mounting anxiety.
Charu confronts Abhir, accusing him of playing with both her and Kiara’s feelings. Abhir denies the allegations and pleads with her to trust him. When Kiara unexpectedly arrives, Charu, overwhelmed, hides from sight.
Vidya plans to visit Abhira and Arman to personally extend her congratulations. However, Kaveri dissuades her, suggesting they respect their privacy. Vidya ultimately decides to bless them from a distance. Unaware of the misconception, Abhira and Arman are shocked to see Vidya’s affectionate gestures.
Excited by the presumed pregnancy, both the Poddars and the Goenkas gather to celebrate. They present a traditional ring to Abhira as a symbol of joy. Despite their protests, the family insists on the gesture. Sanjay, still suspicious, gathers information about Ruhi’s IVF appointment. His doubts about the true nature of Ruhi and Rohit’s involvement deepen. Meanwhile, Shivani notices Vidya outside the house, visibly emotional, and tries to comfort her.
The family’s unwavering belief in the joyous occasion leaves Abhira and Arman in turmoil. With the celebrations in full swing, the truth threatens to unravel, leaving them uncertain about their next steps.
