Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira falls prey to Dadi sa's anger, Armaan asked to give a loyalty test

The episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai tonight commences with the children approaching Armaan and Abhira. Kiara and Aryan offer their apologies, to which Abhira responds by saying it's okay and embraces them, urging them not to speak ill of Aryan. 

They proceed to have dinner. Kajal and Sanjay escort Dadi to the hall, where the lights illuminate, and everyone begins to dance to the tune of "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai." Ruhi notices Armaan, and Dadi grabs Abhira's hand, expressing her dismay at being defamed while they're celebrating. Armaan acknowledges Dadi's justified anger, explaining that Abhira saved her. However, Dadi rebukes Abhira, accusing her of tarnishing her reputation and ruining her lifelong hard work. Armaan attempts to defend Abhira, but Dadi insists that she's shown enmity and jeopardized her career. She then decrees that Abhira must leave the house with Armaan as a consequence of her actions, despite Armaan's protests.

Dadi instructs Vidya to start packing for them and to find a new house. Abhira pleads with Dadi, begging her not to punish Armaan and herself, and not to tear the family apart. She offers to stay at Dadi's feet, but Dadi leaves. Vidya and Madhav weep as Abhira sits in despair, observing Armaan. Armaan approaches Dadi, expressing his refusal to accept her decision, asserting his right to stay with her. He reaffirms his unwavering commitment to the family and implores Dadi not to separate them. He presents their family photos and emphasizes his attachment to them, pleading with Dadi to reconsider. Despite his pleas, Dadi remains steadfast until Ruhi and Abhira intervene. Dadi then relents but imposes a condition – a test that Armaan must pass to remain in the house.

In the subsequent exchange, Dadi presents the hypothetical scenario of a fire breaking out and asks Armaan what three things he would save. Armaan selects the family photo, toffee wrappers, and his law degree, emphasizing their significance. However, Dadi deems his response inadequate, leaving Armaan stunned.

PRECAP:

Armaan grapples with the realization that Abhira was willing to leave because of him, while Dadi reprimands Kiara and ends up slapping her, inadvertently striking Abhira in the process.
