In the latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata Hai, Shivani questioned RK about his hesitation to accept Armaan’s help. RK, in a lighthearted manner, suggested the possibility of Armaan kidnapping them. Shivani, puzzled by RK’s strong opposition, reminded him that they had nothing valuable that Armaan could take. RK, looking at her, stated that he had her, and if Armaan ever tried to take her away, he wouldn’t stand for it. Shivani, sensing his worry, reassured him.
Armaan, determined to assist, offered to drop RK and Shivani at Abhira’s house. RK, still uneasy, thought to himself that Abhira should be prepared for their arrival. Meanwhile, Ruhi and Abhira showed Abhir a ring. Abhir mentioned that he originally chose it for Charu but now intended to give it to Kiara. Ruhi, furious, accused him of playing with both Charu’s and Kiara’s emotions. Abhira explained that Abhir wanted to make Charu jealous by proposing to Kiara. Abhir confirmed the strategy. Ruhi and Abhira then speculated on what would happen if Charu didn’t come back to him. Abhir, unfazed, said that even if Charu refused, Kiara would still be happy.
Kiara, thrilled about her upcoming wedding, approached Charu for support in convincing the Poddars. She also requested Charu’s help in selecting a ring for Abhir, stirring emotions in Charu. Kiara pleaded with her to stand by her side. Meanwhile, Manish lost his temper at Abhir. Abhira, stepping in, asked him to calm down. Before she could process the situation, she was taken aback by the unexpected arrival of RK, Armaan, and Shivani. In the commotion, Abhira accidentally knocked over a glass, causing it to shatter. Shivani remarked that a broken glass signified good fortune.
Shivani greeted Abhira, while Manish, stunned by her presence, quickly sensed that RK and Abhira were entangled in some kind of mess. Shivani, looking at Abhira, asked if RK had been causing trouble for her. Abhira assured her there were no disputes between them. RK, still displeased with Armaan, asked him to leave. However, Shivani pointed out that Armaan and Abhira were acquainted. Feeling the growing tension, she decided it was time to head home.
At that moment, Abhira was about to get hurt. Armaan, reacting instantly, rushed to protect her. RK and Shivani, witnessing the scene, were left stunned by their closeness. Armaan quickly explained that he only meant to prevent an injury. Shivani, turning to RK, remarked that he should learn to be more considerate like Armaan.
Later, Armaan confronted Abhira about the act they were putting on in front of Shivani. Abhira, keeping her composure, explained that Shivani wasn’t well, which was why she was going along with the pretense. Armaan, growing frustrated, asked if she couldn’t wait for the final separation. Their conversation escalated into a heated argument. Abhira urged Armaan to find out if Charu still had feelings for Abhir. Armaan, with a hardened expression, told Abhira that love was a lost cause. Abhira, unwavering, declared that love meant everything to her and she would never give up on it.
Determined to get to the truth, Armaan continued to influence Charu, gradually uncovering her true emotions. Eventually, he confirmed that Charu still had feelings for Abhir. Followed by this revelation, he and Abhira formed an long standing alliance. Together, they resolved to make sure Abhir and Charu’s wedding happened.
