Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira-Armaan to take couples’ therapy, one chance to save their marriage

Tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode opens with Armaan attempting to convince Maya to leave for the night, but Abhira steps in and tells him that if Maya is comfortable waiting for Kaveri, there is no harm in letting her stay. Armaan argues that Kaveri will return very late and it wouldn’t be safe for Maya to travel at that hour. Maya then decides she will leave the next morning instead. Armaan realizes Maya has no intention of leaving immediately and starts wondering how he will handle the situation with Abhira.

Meanwhile, Abhira asks Maya to stay back and herself plans to visit Disha’s house. Armaan informs her that he has already sent all the required items to Disha through the driver. Maya then requests Abhira to get her some water. During this time, Armaan starts teasing and troubling Maya so much that she eventually runs away from the spot, while he finds the situation amusing. Abhira, however, is left confused by his behavior.

On the other hand, Aryan feels emotional as he prepares to part ways with Disha. Maira questions Kaveri about whether Armaan might have spoken to Abhira by now, but Kaveri expresses doubt. Determined to delay things, Maira and Mukti decide to stop the family from returning home quickly. Kaveri encourages them to come up with a plan, and the duo casually decides to distract everyone by going out for ice cream.

Elsewhere, Tanya mentions that she is feeling sleepy. Krish tries to bring up an important discussion about his meeting, but Sanjay interrupts him. Meanwhile, Maira and Mukti successfully execute their plan and manage to delay the family’s return home.

Back at home, Abhira prepares to leave but suddenly assumes that Armaan is suffering from blood pressure issues. She immediately becomes concerned about his health. Armaan recalls Kaveri’s advice, where she had asked him to pretend to be unwell so that Abhira’s concern for him would resurface. Seeing Abhira genuinely worried and caring for him, Armaan gets emotional.

At the same time, the Poddar family enjoys their ice cream outing, while Vidya is left alone at home. Tanya eventually forgives Kajal, bringing a sense of relief. Vidya tries to show concern for Madhav, but he stops her, pointing out that her concern holds no value if she cannot stay honest in their relationship.

Meanwhile, Abhira insists that Armaan should visit a doctor next time and take proper medication. However, when Armaan refuses, Abhira realizes that he has once again lied to her. This leads to a confrontation, where she questions his actions. Armaan apologizes sincerely for all his past mistakes, leaving Abhira emotional.

Armaan tells her that if she can find it in her heart, she should accept his apology. He then openly confesses his love for her. However, Abhira is reminded of all the accusations he had made against her earlier. When Armaan notices her silence and asks what is wrong, Abhira admits that she is scared of being separated from him again. She points out that their relationship has faced separation multiple times in the past, and she questions how she can believe that things will be different now after being rejected twice.

Armaan becomes emotional hearing her fears. Abhira further expresses that she is afraid he might once again be influenced by others and push her out of his life, just like before. She clearly states that she is unable to trust him completely anymore.

Despite this, Abhira shares that she does want to move ahead in life, but her fears are holding her back. She asks Armaan to support her in overcoming these insecurities. Armaan is left stunned, not knowing how to respond.

In the precap, Abhira tells Armaan that she has slowly begun trusting him again and thanks him for agreeing to attend couples' therapy with her. Armaan, however, questions how involving a third person can solve their personal issues. Abhira challenges him to prove that he has truly changed by attending the session with her, leaving him confused.
