Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhir asks Abhira to go to the Poddars, while Ruhi decides to leave the house

Tonight's episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai begins with Abhir in excruciating pain, vowing that he won't find peace until he uncovers the truth behind the accident. In a moment of tension, Abhira finally confesses that Vidya was behind the incident. Abhir, upon hearing this revelation, accuses Vidya of intentionally harming him, believing she did this over his interactions with Charu and her suspicions about his relationship with Kiara. He explains that after slapping him, she wasn't satisfied and went to the extreme by running him over with the car.

Abhira tries to calm him down, asserting that she understands his pain but insists that the accident wasn’t intentional. However, consumed by anger, Abhir lashes out, blaming Vidya for everything. He accuses Abhira of siding with her in-laws and demands that she leave the Goenka house and go back to Poddar house. His harsh words leave Abhira crushed. Abhir reveals his deep hurt, saying that his loved ones always disappoint him, and now, even she has betrayed him. He accuses her of giving him temporary happiness only to fool him.

Meanwhile, Vidya confesses to Armaan that she wanted to come clean about the truth, but seeing Abhira and him together made her fear that revealing it would ruin their relationship. She begs him to tell her if he believes the accident was intentional. Armaan embraces Vidya and assures her that he trusts her completely. Vidya asks him if he will also convince Abhira that the accident wasn’t deliberate, but Armaan remains silent, taken aback by her request.

Manish, on the other hand, argues that Vidya’s actions were far from an accident. He questions why she didn’t call an ambulance or get help when Abhir was injured. Instead, she fled the scene without taking responsibility, suggesting that it wasn’t a mistake.

At the Poddar house, Kaveri seizes the opportunity to manipulate Armaan emotionally, reminding him of all the sacrifices Vidya has made for him. She insists that Vidya always stood by him and supported him. Kaveri urges Armaan to return the favour by supporting his mother during this challenging time. Although conflicted, Armaan agrees to stand by Vidya and decides to speak to Abhira.

The Poddar family is divided over the ongoing dispute. Sanjay discusses the situation with Kajal, Manoj, and Manisha, blaming Abhira for causing the mess. Manoj fears that the rift between Armaan and Abhira will cause them to separate once again. However, Manisha supports Vidya. Meanwhile, Ruhi decides to stand by Abhir and Manish, despite facing opposition from her own family.

Rohit tries to prevent Ruhi from going to the Goenka house, but Ruhi stands firm in her decision, determined to support Abhir and his family. Kaveri tries to guilt-trip her by reminding her of all Vidya has done for her, but Ruhi remains resolute. She agrees to stay with the Goenkas but refuses to separate from Daksh. Kaveri objects, asserting that Daksh belongs with the Poddars, changing Ruhi's decisions. Tensions rise as Kaveri vows not to let Ruhi follow in Abhira’s footsteps.

In a secluded area near a cliff, Abhira and Armaan engage in a heartfelt conversation. Armaan stands firm in defending his mother, while Abhira, resolute in her stance, explains that while she understands his perspective, her priority is seeking justice for Abhir. She emphasizes that Vidya’s failure to seek help after the accident and her reluctance to reveal the truth only worsened the situation. Armaan pleads with her to avoid escalating the matter to the courts, urging her to remain patient and trust that things will eventually improve. He reassures her of his unwavering belief in her ability to resolve the issue fairly, ensuring that no harm comes to Vidya. Touched by his faith in her, Abhira embraces him but soon departs, expressing the urgency to return to Abhir, leaving the situation unresolved but with mutual trust intact.

At the Goenka house, Abhir becomes visibly agitated upon noticing a protective barrier set up around his bed. Frustrated, he expresses his determination to attend his concert and requests his phone from Sera to speak with the organisers. However, Sera refuses, explaining that the organisers have raised concerns about audience enjoyment without a complete performance, including both singing and dancing. She then mentions an alternative offer for playback singing. Abhir, upset, rejects the idea of playback singing, stating that he belongs on stage, not behind a microphone. In frustration, he declares that he will donate his musical instruments to an orphanage, feeling like he no longer deserves a career in music. His words leave Abhira heartbroken, struggling to console him in his moment of despair.

At the Poddar house, Vidya continues to pace anxiously, unable to calm her racing thoughts. She worries about the possible breakup between Armaan and Abhira, and the looming threat of an FIR being filed against her. As her mind spirals, she becomes consumed by fear about the future of her relationship with her son and the consequences of her actions.

Precap for the next episode:
