Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira and Armaan blessed with baby girl; he distances himself and Pookie from her

Star Plus' Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is currently witnessing a whirlwind of emotions and intense relationship drama. While Ruhi has finally realised her mistake and taken a step back from trying to come between Armaan and Abhira, cracks are now beginning to show in the couple's bond on their own. Amid rising tensions involving Charu, Abhir, and Kiara, Armaan and Abhira's relationship is steadily deteriorating. The situation worsens after a near-accident involving Daksh, which triggers Armaan's growing frustration. His concern for their unborn child, lovingly called Pookie, has intensified, leading him to question Abhira's ability to be a responsible mother. He accuses her of being irresponsible and prioritising others over their child, adding further strain to their already fragile relationship.

Just when viewers were wondering how Armaan would handle fatherhood after Pookie's birth, given his current behaviour, Star Plus has released a new promo offering a glimpse into Armaan and Abhira's life post Pookie's arrival.

The promo confirms that Ruhi has given birth to Abhira and Armaan's daughter. It begins with a scene at the Poddar house, where Ruhi is seen holding the baby as they return home. Once they’re settled in their room, Ruhi gently hands over the newborn to Abhira and Armaan. Just as Abhira is about to take the baby in her arms, Armaan eagerly lifts his daughter, calling her his own, while Abhira, though hurt, puts on a brave smile and lovingly refers to her as theirs.

In the next scene, Abhira is seen preparing to feed the baby. She checks the milk's temperature on her hand to ensure it's safe. As she begins feeding their daughter with joy, Armaan walks in, visibly anxious. He immediately snatches the bottle from her hand, questions whether she checked the milk's temperature, and then double-checks it himself.

Without waiting, he picks up the baby and insists on handling it himself. Abhira, visibly heartbroken, tries to explain she was doing it properly, but Armaan refuses to take any risks. Despite her reminding him that she is the baby's mother too, he walks away with the baby, leaving her feeling alone and shattered.

Highlights from tonight's episode:

In tonight's episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, emotions run high as Abhira misinterprets Kaveri's remarks about Armaan's parenting as a subtle criticism of her own abilities as a mother. The confrontation leads to an honest conversation where Kaveri ultimately praises Abhira's strength and says every child deserves a mother like her. This emotional exchange prompts Abhira to watch Armaan's recorded thoughts about their child, where she realises the depth of his insecurities and emotional struggles. Determined to support him, Abhira resolves to face challenges together.

Meanwhile, Armaan grapples with the growing distance between him, Abhira, and Krish. Kiara refuses to visit the Poddar house, citing Charu's presence, while Swarna and Surekha further alienate Abhir. Amidst all this, Armaan and Abhira share light-hearted moments preparing for their baby. Ruhi playfully tests their teamwork with Daksh, validating their potential as parents. However, when Armaan asks Abhira to ignore family issues and focus only on their baby, she refuses, standing her ground.
