In tonight’s episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, tensions ran high as relationships within the Poddar and Goenka families continued to unravel. The episode opened with Armaan, firmly drawing a line. He told Abhira, that if Kiara chose to end her relationship with Abhir, then the Poddar family would also sever ties with the Goenka family. His words were sharp and clear, leaving little room for negotiation.
Abhira wasn’t ready to accept this. She immediately voiced her disagreement, questioning Armaan’s stance. But Armaan stood his ground. He believed his loyalty lay with Kiara’s decision, no matter what consequences followed. This difference in opinion sparked a heated exchange between the two. Both were driven by their love for family but stood on opposing sides of the issue.
Later, Armaan decided to meet Abhir personally. In a calmer moment, he advised Abhir to stay committed to Kiara. He recognized the difficult phase both were going through. To help them deal with the strain, Armaan handed Abhir a counsellor’s contact number. He encouraged him to visit the professional along with Kiara, hoping it would guide them towards clarity and peace.
Meanwhile, Abhira took a different route. She quietly approached Kiara on her own. Offering a visiting card, she subtly told her that if ever the thought of divorce crossed her mind, she could reach out. This quiet gesture, though meant to be supportive, only deepened the divide between Abhira and Armaan. He felt betrayed, believing Abhira wasn’t standing by him or understanding his attempts to hold the family together. The emotional distance between them began to grow.
Watching this growing strain, Ruhi noticed the shift in the couple’s dynamic. Concerned, she decided to intervene in her own gentle way. Hoping to ease the tension, she came up with a simple plan. She suggested sending Daksh along with Abhira and Armaan to a birthday party. Ruhi believed that some light, shared moments might help heal the widening gap.
But as fate would have it, nothing went according to plan. An urgent work commitment pulled Armaan away. He asked Abhira to bring Daksh to his office instead. The idea was to head to the party together after his meeting. Abhira agreed and arrived at the office with Daksh. At one point, she stepped away for a couple of minutes to retrieve an important file. In her brief absence, Daksh was left with a staff member. Within moments, a small mishap almost took place involving the child.
Armaan, informed about the incident, rushed to the scene. Though Daksh was unharmed, worry overtook him. In front of everyone, Armaan lost his temper. His harsh words towards Abhira stung deeply, leaving her humiliated. She stood silent, absorbing the pain.
Armaan left with Daksh soon after. Back home, Ruhi tried to reason with him. She reminded him that childhood comes with scraped knees and small accidents. In her words, “Daksh is growing up. Such things happen.” She urged him not to overreact and advised him to approach situations with calm.
Later, a heartbroken Abhira apologized to Ruhi. Ruhi comforted her with warmth, assuring her that things would get better. She reminded Abhira of her strength and resilience.
Tonight’s episode painted a vivid picture of relationships straining under the weight of expectations and misunderstandings. As Armaan and Abhira drift further apart, it’s clear that the road ahead won’t be easy.
