Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhir's extramarital affair with Charu nearly gets exposed, but a twist saves them

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, the Poddar family rushes Ruhi to the hospital. Sanjay confronts Armaan and Abhira, questioning their involvement in family matters and warning them that Kaveri would not approve of their actions. Armaan responds by stating that Sanjay has a habit of creating unnecessary drama. Sanjay, however, insists that Abhira and Armaan are no longer a part of the Poddar household.

Manish steps in, emphasising that Abhira is Ruhi's cousin and has every right to be there. He then hands Daksh over to Abhira. Abhira tries to comfort Daksh, assuring him that Ruhi will be fine. Swarna, however, shifts the focus to Abhira's situation, questioning whether she has considered how to address the family when the surrogacy truth comes to light. She urges Abhira to reflect on the gravity of the situation. Later, Abhira confesses to Armaan that she would never be able to forgive herself if something were to happen to Ruhi. Armaan, in turn, encourages her to stay optimistic.

Meanwhile, Kiara unexpectedly crosses paths with Charu, while Abhir, noticing her presence, quickly hides. Kiara checks on Charu's well-being, and Charu mentions feeling exhausted due to some issues. When Charu inquires about Kiara's plans, she shares that she is heading to spend time with the family and also mentions that Abhir has been out of reach. Curious about Charu's absence, Kiara questions her, to which Charu explains that she is on her way to attend a meeting.

Just then, Kiara receives a call from Manish, and through their conversation, she learns that Ruhi has been hospitalised. Concerned, she immediately urges Charu to come along with her to the hospital. Meanwhile, Abhir remains anxious about Ruhi's condition, his worry growing with each passing moment. Charu and Kiara arrive at the hospital, followed closely by Abhir, who immediately inquires about Ruhi's condition. Manish confronts Abhir for not answering his calls, to which Abhir explains the reason. Meanwhile, Kiara questions how he found out about Ruhi's pregnancy, catching him off guard. Just as he hesitates to answer, Manisha notices Ruhi making a call inside the room, shifting everyone's attention from Abhir to Ruhi. Vidya assumes Ruhi is calling her and hurries inside, only to receive a shocking piece of news. The revelation stuns her, prompting the rest of the family to rush inside as well.

The Poddar family receives good news—Ruhi is pregnant. Vidya expresses her happiness and congratulates Ruhi and Rohit. However, she also remarks on how fate has been unfair to Armaan and Abhira. The entire family showers Ruhi and Rohit with blessings.

Sanjay then demands that Armaan and Abhira leave the room. Armaan is taken aback, realising that while everyone is celebrating Ruhi's pregnancy, no one is acknowledging Abhira's role. He contemplates how the family will react once the surrogacy truth is revealed. While Armaan worries about the consequences, Abhira remains anxious about Ruhi's pregnancy.

Ruhi later confides in Swarna, revealing that she senses Swarna's disapproval of their decision. Swarna advises Ruhi to be extra cautious and ensure that no complications arise. Meanwhile, Armaan decides to pay Ruhi's medical expenses. When Abhira questions his decision, he explains that contributing financially makes him feel connected to his unborn child. He resolves to speak to the family about the truth.

On the other hand, Rohit believes it is time to disclose everything, arguing that Abhira and Armaan deserve the family's blessings. However, both Ruhi and Abhira strongly oppose this, stressing that the early stages of pregnancy are delicate. Ruhi fears that Kaveri's reaction could lead to unnecessary complications. Despite Armaan's objections, Ruhi and Abhira remain firm in their decision to keep the truth concealed until the delivery.

Before leaving, Manish clicks a picture of Armaan, Abhira, Ruhi, and Rohit together. He then discusses a legal case with Abhira and advises Ruhi to rest. Abhira agrees to help him with the case.
