Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira hides Kaveri’s true face from Armaan, lies about finding Shivani

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Abhira uncovers the shocking truth that Roop's mother is not his biological mother but Armaan's real mother. Meanwhile, Armaan notices Abhira's distress and becomes concerned. He questions her about the reason behind her uneasiness, and in response, Abhira embraces him emotionally.

At the same time, Roop anxiously calls for a doctor to examine Shivani, who has suffered a panic attack. When Shivani regains consciousness, she frantically asks for her son. Roop reassures her that he is her child, but Shivani immediately denies it, leaving Roop stunned.

Elsewhere, Abhira finally reveals to Armaan that his real mother is alive. Armaan is taken aback and demands to know how she discovered this truth. However, Abhira chooses to conceal Kaveri's schemes to protect Armaan and Poddar family from falling apart. Instead, she lies, saying she uncovered the truth while investigating Shivani's past with Roop.

Armaan is left heartbroken upon realising that he has been living away from his real mother all these years. Abhira remains silent about Kaveri's manipulations, which led to Shivani’s separation from Madhav and Armaan, fearing that Armaan is already too shattered to bear another revelation. Meanwhile, Armaan is consumed by regret, especially for unknowingly performing rituals for Shivani without knowing the truth.

On the other hand, Kiara and Abhir arrive at the Goenka house and knock on the door. Kiara insists that they keep trying, as the Goenkas are family and will eventually open up to them. However, Abhir remains doubtful and decides to force his way in. At that moment, Manish opens the door and furiously confronts Abhir for tarnishing their family's reputation. As tensions rise, Swarna intervenes, preventing Manish from raising his hand against Abhir. Surekha and Swarna ultimately allow Abhir and Kiara to enter the house.

Meanwhile, Armaan hesitates to face Shivani, struggling with the emotions overwhelming him. Abhira stands by his side, motivating him to meet her. On the other end, Roop continues to feel uneasy about Shivani's words. Shivani, however, expresses admiration for Roop, calling him a wonderful person, but firmly reiterates that he is not her son. Roop then questions Shivani about whether her lost memories have returned.

Soon, Shivani discovers that Armaan is, in fact, her real son. Roop, unable to accept the truth, declares that Armaan cannot take everything away from him. Shivani, sensing Roop's distress, tries to calm him down, but he remains restless and conflicted.

Back at the Goenka house, Abhir and Kiara perform a ritual together. Kiara is thrilled about their union and excitedly urges Abhir to take a picture of them. She cheerfully declares herself as Mrs. Abhir Kiara Sharma, leaving Abhir completely taken aback.

Abhira continues encouraging Armaan to meet Shivani, but he resists, unwilling to face her just yet. Abhira tries to convince him by reminding him how long Shivani has waited for this moment. Meanwhile, Kaveri informs Vidya that Shivani has managed to escape from the retreat. Vidya starts panicking, fearing that Shivani's presence will create chaos and lead to Madhav and Armaan being taken away from them. Kaveri is determined to prevent this and vows to keep Shivani and Madhav apart at all costs.

Despite Armaan's reluctance, Abhira makes a firm decision—she will take him to meet Shivani. Armaan, still in disbelief, questions whether Abhira will truly take him to her.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Armaan finally reunites with Shivani and expresses his gratitude toward Roop for reuniting them. However, Roop throws a shocking ultimatum at him—he must choose between Shivani and Abhira. Armaan is left stunned by this demand.
