The latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata Hai begins as the courtroom was tense as Sanjay turned to Charu, questioning if her client would arrive on time. Charu, sensing the pressure, pleaded with the judge for an extension. Meanwhile, Kaveri decided to hold a Basant Panchami puja, bringing a spiritual atmosphere to the household.
Vidya’s eyes were stuck toward the entrance, hoping to see Armaan. However, Kaveri shattered her hopes, announcing that Armaan wasn’t fit to participate. Instead, she directed Krish to begin the ritual. Manisha, noticing Vidya’s distress, encouraged her to pray for Armaan and Abhira’s well-being. Vidya refused. Instead, she wished for their separation.
As prayers began, Madhav, Charu, Aryan, Krish, Manoj, and Kiara came together, surprising Kaveri and Vidya by wishing for Armaan and Abhira’s reunion. Abhira, struggling internally, hesitated to break ties with Armaan on such an auspicious occasion. When Charu called her to court, she refused to go.
The judge, unimpressed by the absence, decided to extend the hearing. Charu stepped forward, determined to represent Abhira. Armaan, frustrated by her decision, opposed it. His anger boiled over as he pointed out that Abhira had chosen not to appear in court to finalize their separation. Without waiting for a response, he stormed off.
Later, RK found Abhira at the temple. He hesitated before awkwardly asking about her divorce. Realizing his insensitivity, he quickly changed the topic. Instead, he requested her to present at the hospital. Shivani, he explained, refused to take her medicine unless she saw Abhira. After a brief hesitation, she agreed to go.
Meanwhile, Abhir reached out to Charu, requesting to meet. Charu declined, unwilling to hurt Kiara. Aryan, sensing something was amiss, discovered their plan and stopped Kaveri from intervening. Eventually, Charu relented, agreeing to meet Abhir one last time.
At the hospital, Abhira arrived with RK. She sat beside Shivani, gently persuading her to take the prescribed medication. Shivani agreed but placed a condition that RK had to complete a ritual by placing a flower in Abhira’s hair. RK hesitated. The moment grew heavy with silence. Abhira, seeing his discomfort, urged him to do it.
Before RK could act, Armaan stepped forward. His face was tight with emotion as he reached out and completed the ritual himself. His frustration was evident. Shivani, watching him closely, felt a strange pull toward him, though she couldn’t explain why.
The air grew thick with tension as RK finally gathered the courage to speak. He looked at Shivani, his voice steady but laced with emotion, and revealed a truth long hidden. He was her son.
Outside the hospital, Abhira and Armaan faced each other. Armaan’s expression was unreadable, but his words cut deep. He accused her of moving on too easily. His frustration spilled out, revealing his turmoil. Abhira listened, sensing his desperation. Her eyes welled with tears as Armaan’s emotions overtook him. Words failed them both.
