Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira breaks Dadisa's record and wins the pagdi tying competition

The episode commences with Dadi (Anita Raaj) sternly declaring her intolerance for misbehavior. Ruhi (Pratiksha Honmukhe), reflecting on Armaan's (Shehzada Dhami) earlier words, decides to investigate. A heated argument unfolds between Armaan and Abhira (Samridhii Shukla) , prompting Ruhi to remind them that everyone is eagerly waiting. Armaan dismisses her, urging her to join Rohit, who is waiting for her. Ruhi expresses her disappointment, emphasizing that only his family seems to matter to him. Abhira, frustrated, shouts at Armaan, while Ruhi tries to mediate and encourages her to participate in the ritual.

Armaan eventually descends the stairs, and Vidya inquires about Abhira's whereabouts. Dadi gazes disapprovingly as the ladies engage in gossip. Manisha compliments Abhira, leading to laughter. Rohit suggests Manisha add some excitement to the celebration, and she dances with Kajal and Vidya. Abhira admits to being harsh on Armaan, prompting Ruhi to offer help with her saree. Abhira declines, asserting her expertise, and privately searches the internet for a solution. Ingeniously, she wears jeans under the saree. Ruhi and Abhira reappear downstairs, and Rohit envisions them as sisters who cannot be separated. However, Abhira stumbles, and Armaan catches her. Ruhi observes silently as Dadi praises her.

The mu dikhai rasam begins, and the ladies admire Abhira. Armaan signals Abhira to greet, and she does, receiving gifts and blessings. However, a lady implies that Rohit's wife is more beautiful than Armaan's. Abhira is visibly upset. Armaan goes on a call, and Abhira overhears Sanjay insulting Akshara. She stands up, and Armaan asks her to accompany him. Attempting to lighten the mood, he praises Ruhi's beauty, inadvertently upsetting Abhira. The ring-finding ritual ensues, with Ruhi lost in thought about Armaan.

Armaan notices Ruhi's distraction, and Rohit encourages her to find the ring. Cousins tease Rohit, and Dadi advises Ruhi to keep the marriage and Rohit in control. Abhira finds the ring, but instead of winning, she puts it back and gives it to Armaan, leading to playful banter. The special rasam is announced, where the ladies must make their husbands wear traditional dress. Dadi hopes Ruhi breaks her record and competes against Madhav. The competition begins, and Armaan and Abhira share a moment.

In a surprising turn, Abhira wins the rasam, breaking Dadisa's record.
