The latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata Hai begins with Abhira instructing a servant to take some fruits and chocolates for Ruhi. Armaan thanks her for saving both Ruhi and their unborn child. He reveals it was Ruhi who had worn heels, causing all the trouble. Despite everything, Abhira stands by Ruhi. Armaan struggles to understand why she’s defending her. Abhira calmly explains that pregnancy brings overwhelming emotions and sometimes people make mistakes under pressure. She says Ruhi might have done it out of stress or discomfort.
Armaan listens to her words and starts seeing sense in what she says. A heartfelt conversation follows between the two. Armaan admits he feels a deep guilt for the way he treated Abhira because of Daksh. When Abhira asks the reason behind it, he says only Rohit deserves to be called Daksh’s father. Abhira gently offers a suggestion. She proposes that they tell Daksh the truth when the right moment arrives. For now, she says they can let Daksh call Armaan “TADA,” a tender mix of Taya and Dada. The idea touches Armaan’s heart and a rare warmth passes between them.
Later, Abhira makes plans for a date with Armaan once she wraps up an important meeting. Meanwhile, troubling news about Abhir and Charu’s affair reaches Abhira. In a tense conversation, Abhir tells Charu that Kiara knows the truth and he’s prepared to divorce her. Charu hesitates and asks if he’s completely sure about the decision. Abhira decides it’s time to confront both of them directly.
Back at home, Armaan returns. Ruhi mentions that Daksh had missed him a lot. When Armaan says it’s time they start teaching Daksh to call him “TADA”. As Ruhi got to know it was Abhira’s idea, she smiles softly and says, “She’s really smart.”
Just then, Krish arrives asking Ruhi for money to pay the auto driver. When Armaan offers to help, Krish responds coldly, brushing him aside. Ruhi watches this and begins to wonder if she should intervene. She starts believing that bringing Armaan and Krish closer might help repair their bond, and perhaps Armaan will notice her efforts too.
On another front, Swarna advises Kiara to seriously think about her future. Abhira urges Kiara not to ignore the truth anymore. Swarna notices Kiara’s health faltering and requests Abhira to take care of her. Abhira sits by Kiara and gently advises her to leave this marriage behind. But Kiara insists she can’t walk away, saying her love for Abhir runs too deep.
Abhira tries to explain that Abhir’s heart belongs to Charu, not her. Kiara becomes more stubborn, refusing to let go. She confesses her fear of being labeled a failure if her marriage falls apart. Meanwhile, Swarna confides in Manish that Abhir is missing. She urges him to talk some sense into Abhir and convince him to stay with Kiara.
Ruhi makes her move to bring Armaan and Krish together. Unfortunately, it backfires. The two get into a fight, leaving the atmosphere tense. Abhira intervenes and firmly tells Krish to leave. Armaan, in his frustration, lashes out at Ruhi, telling her to focus on her pregnancy rather than meddling in other people’s matters. Ruhi is left worried. She starts fearing that Armaan might grow more distant from her once the baby arrives.
When Armaan learns about Abhir and Charu’s affair, his reaction is immediate and fierce. He and Abhira decide to handle the matter privately, one conversation at a time. Armaan warns Abhir to keep the affair hidden from the rest of the family.
In the middle of all this, Vidya approaches Abhira for help with Kaveri’s birthday celebration. Without hesitation, Abhira agrees to assist. Armaan watches silently, torn between emotions. He knows Kaveri never treated Shivani with respect, and yet here was Abhira, choosing kindness over grudges.
The episode closes with unspoken emotions thick in the air and more confrontations waiting to unfold.
