Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhir decides to walk out of Kiara and their baby’s lives

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Abhira avoids answering Abhir's call, choosing instead to keep her distance. At that moment, Armaan arrives to check on her. Abhira tells him that if anyone wants to put the blame on her, she is willing to accept it without protest. Hearing this, Armaan pulls her into a comforting hug.

Manisha Accuses Abhira of Manipulating Kiara

Elsewhere in the Poddar house, Manisha tells Kaveri that she believes Abhira and Abhir are teaming up to mislead Kiara. She claims Abhir entered Kiara's room secretly with Abhira's help. Kiara immediately shuts down the accusation, saying she had no idea Abhir was coming and that Manisha has no right to drag Abhira into this.

Kiara even asks Manisha to blame her if she wants, but to stop targeting Abhira. Manisha, however, continues insisting that Abhira is pressuring Kiara to take her brother's side. Kiara questions why Manisha has suddenly turned against Abhira, but Manisha keeps blaming Kiara for the situation.

Seeing Kiara in tears, Tanya tells Manisha that enough is enough. Manoj tells Tanya not to interfere, but she refuses to stay silent. Manoj taunts her, saying that even then Kiara would never give her baby to Tanya. Sanjay gets into an argument with Manoj over this.

Madhav steps in to calm the rising tension. Manoj then says that all their problems began because of Madhav's daughter-in-law, Abhira. Manisha adds that a newborn should bring joy, but Kiara's child has only brought disputes. She even blames the baby, leading Kaveri to warn her sternly not to speak negatively about the child.

Kiara Walks Out After Hurtful Remarks

Hurt by the harsh words, Kiara tells Manisha to go ahead and curse the baby even more. She then announces she is leaving the house because she doesn't want to cause any more trouble for the Poddars. Tanya tries to stop her, but Kiara remains firm. Krish advises Tanya not to follow Kiara when her own parents aren't worried about her.

Outside, Armaan and Abhira see Kiara walking away and rush to follow her. Back at home, Krish panics about Kiara's safety. He gets a call from an unknown number, and when Tanya asks about it, he snaps at her. Upset, he questions Sanjay about the pending stay order on the property partition. Sanjay assures him he is handling it, but Krish urges him to speed up the process.

Armaan and Abhira Find Kiara at the Bus Stand

Armaan and Abhira eventually find Kiara at a bus stop. Kiara admits she is terrified to move closer to Abhir again because of everything she has gone through. Both Armaan and Abhira speak gently to her and bring her back home.

At the house, Manisha tells Madhav to use his police position to locate Kiara. Kajal immediately confronts her, pointing out that Manisha never tried to stop Kiara when she walked out. Kajal says Manisha was busy cursing the infant instead of helping the situation. Just then, Armaan and Abhira arrive with Kiara.

Abhir Demands to Speak With Kiara

Abhir attempts to talk to Kiara, but Manisha and Manoj start scolding her once again. Abhira tries to support Abhir, but he stops her, saying he will handle it alone. Abhir declares that he cannot leave without Kiara.

Kiara finally asks Abhir what he wants to say. He explains that he wants to discuss their future as parents. Kiara responds that she wants the discussion to happen in front of everyone. She lays out two choices, either she marries Abhir and gives up the baby, or she keeps the baby and walks away from Abhir and their baby. Abhir tells her she cannot make such an unfair decision, but Kiara tells him to choose one option.

Her conditions shock Abhira and Kaveri. Abhir, heartbroken, says he chooses neither option. He tells Kiara that if she wants, she can raise the child on her own. Abhira begs him not to give up, but Abhir says he will not force Kiara into anything and decides to step out of her life.

Precap for the Nect Episode

In the precap, Armaan and Abhira discuss ways to bring Abhir and Kiara back together. Armaan plans to take Kiara to parental classes to help her connect with her emotions. Manisha, however, vows that she will not allow Abhira's plan to work and will make sure Abhir and Kiara do not reunite.
