Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira and Armaan to pretend to be husband and wife

The episode opens with Armaan waiting for Aryan, curious about his sudden arrival. As soon as Aryan appears, he is thrilled to see Armaan. Armaan jokingly tells Aryan to touch his feet as a sign of respect. Instead of doing it properly, Aryan playfully bends down and touches his own feet. Armaan corrects him and asks him to do it the right way. Aryan then casually asks Armaan whether he is not heading to the gym that day.

During their conversation, Armaan notices something different about Aryan and remarks that he seems to be glowing. He teasingly asks whether Aryan has fallen in love with someone. Aryan admits that he is indeed in a relationship and requests Armaan’s help in introducing his girlfriend to the family. Armaan initially refuses, saying he is not the right person to advise anyone about love or relationships. However, Aryan keeps insisting and eventually convinces him. Armaan finally agrees to help Aryan with the situation.

Meanwhile, Manisha becomes emotional when she sees Aryan after a long time. She questions him about why he arrived so late. Aryan then greets Manoj and the rest of the Poddar family members. Soon, Aryan begins speaking openly about having a girlfriend. Manisha immediately asks him to bring her and introduce her to the family.

Aryan brings a girl with him, claiming that she is his girlfriend. However, Manisha and Manoj are not impressed with the girl and clearly say that she does not seem suitable for Aryan. Manisha firmly states that Aryan can bring any girl he likes, but she will not accept the girl he has just introduced. Aryan is surprised by her reaction and asks if she truly means what she is saying.

Shortly after, Manisha discovers that the girl was actually part of a plan created by Aryan and Armaan. Aryan then asks Manisha to at least agree to meet his real girlfriend’s family. At this moment, Kaveri also steps in and encourages Manisha to consider Aryan’s request.

Aryan becomes emotional when he sees Kaveri and expresses his concern for her health, asking her to recover soon. During this time, Aryan also meets Abhira and warmly addresses her as his sister-in-law. Abhira politely tells him that he can simply call her by her name. However, Aryan insists that for him she will always remain his sister-in-law. Just then, both Armaan and Abhira receive a message on their phones.

Elsewhere, Maira is overjoyed to see Aryan after his return. Armaan informs everyone that Aryan is back and that the matron has already called for a family meeting. Aryan excitedly tells Maira about his girlfriend, and Maira immediately begins imagining Aryan’s wedding, becoming very enthusiastic about it.

Armaan then asks Maira if Mukti’s mother had also come to visit earlier. Maira replies that she is not completely sure but thinks she might have come. Hearing this, Armaan decides he should personally meet Mukti’s mother and thank her.

At the same time, Mukti asks Abhira to come and meet Maira’s father, but Abhira quickly makes an excuse to avoid the meeting. Mukti then tells her about Maira’s bed, which needs to be cleaned. Abhira quietly starts cleaning it herself. Mukti wonders why Abhira is doing the work when Maira could easily manage it. Abhira calmly replies that it is not a big deal and continues with the task.

Mukti once again encourages Abhira to meet Maira’s father, but Abhira finds another excuse to avoid it. She reassures Mukti that she will meet Maira one day, but not right now.

Meanwhile, Aryan tells Maira how Armaan supported him and helped convince the Poddar family to agree to meet his girlfriend. Maira then comments that Armaan does not really believe in love or marriage. Aryan responds by saying that Armaan is actually lonely in life and truly deserves a partner who can bring happiness into his life.

Later, Armaan finally reaches the place where Mukti’s mother is supposed to be. At the same moment, Abhira realizes that Armaan is nearby and quickly leaves the area along with Mukti. When Armaan arrives, he asks Mukti about her mother. Mukti informs him that Abhira had just left a few minutes earlier.

Abhira, on the other hand, is seen trying to find an auto so that she can leave. While this is happening, Maira and Mukti have a heartfelt conversation about how both their parents are living lonely lives and how they deserve companionship.

Soon after, Armaan spots Abhira standing on the road and struggling to get an auto late at night. Seeing her alone at such a late hour makes him worried and concerned for her safety.

In the precap, Manisha questions Aryan about what he wants to discuss when his girlfriend’s family is about to arrive shortly. Aryan says he has something very important to reveal about them. Just then, Abhira decides that she should leave. However, Aryan stops her and explains that his girlfriend’s family is very orthodox and does not support divorce. Because of this, he insists that Abhira and Armaan must pretend to be husband and wife in front of them.
