Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira is shocked to learn Daksh wasn't born premature

In tonight's episode, Manish, who has locked himself in a room, is deep in thought, reflecting on Abhir's hatred. He recalls the countless times he promised Akshara that Abhir could always turn to him for support. Meanwhile, Swarna, Surekha, and Ruhi knock at Manish's door, urging him to open it. Abhira smartly enters, only to find Manish holding a photo frame, prompting her to confront him. Outside, Ruhi asks Abhira to unlock the door. Both Ruhi and Abhira are concerned and ask Manish what's weighing on his mind.

Abhira, trying to understand the source of his stress, asks if his worries are related to business. Surekha also wonders if it's because of Swarna. Swarna, growing more suspicious, wonders if Manish is troubled by the boy who brought her back. Ruhi asks for more details about this boy.

Manish decides to keep Abhir's truth from Ruhi and Abhira for the time being. He believes they deserve to know, but he feels it's not the right time to share it.

Charu and Kiara return home with an unconscious Abhir. Kiara urges Charu to keep Abhir hidden. Charu and Kiara deceive Manisha about Abhir's whereabouts. Manisha looks around but fails to find Abhir in Charu's room.

Elsewhere, Armaan stumbles upon Daksh's attire recalls Abhira wanting to do a photoshoot with Daksh and becomes anxious about the truth being exposed. As Abhira snaps him back to reality, he asks Abhira about Manish's well-being, and she reassures him that Manish is fine. Abhira then asks Armaan what's troubling him. Armaan admits that Daksh slipped from his hands, which deeply worries Abhira.

Later, Armaan helps with Abhira and Daksh's photoshoot as Abhira sings Akshara's song. Unconscious, Abhir lies there, his mind drifting as the song plays, and he begins to recall memories with Akshara. Charu checks his temperature, and just then, Abhir stirs, causing Charu to lose her balance and fall on him. The two share a brief, intense eye contact. As he gently moves her hair behind her ear, Charu instinctively steps back, questioning his intentions. Abhir, still suspicious, retorts, wary of Charu's true motives. A confrontation follows between Abhir and Charu, and Kiara tries to rush him out through the backdoor. Abhir refuses to comply with their request.

While Abhira reviews the footage, Armaan holds Daksh and quietly reflects on his fear of losing the baby. Suddenly, the lights go out, and Armaan places Daksh in the cradle. Abhira asks him to check the main switch. Sensing something isn't right, Abhira is shocked to see a nurse holding the baby. She questions the nurse, and in their conversation, Abhira, deeply concerned about the baby's health, reveals that Daksh had fallen from Armaan's hands. She anxiously asks if something serious could happen. The nurse's response that Daksh is in danger leaves Abhira alarmed and escalates her worry.

As the nurse begins to speak about the truth, Armaan quickly interrupts her, acting dismissively. He asks why she is present, to which she explains she came to meet Rohit. Armaan curtly informs her that Rohit isn't there and asks her to leave. Abhira, feeling something is amiss, confronts Armaan, insisting that he open up about what's troubling him. Armaan brushes her off, stating that he needs to get an extension cord to fix the lights.

Determined to uncover the truth, Abhira calls the hospital to inquire about Daksh's medical history. She provides both her and Armaan's names, asking them to check Daksh's records. She is shocked when the staff informs her that Daksh was not born premature, as she had believed. When she presses for more details, the staff clarifies that the file indeed belongs to Daksh Poddar. As the staff is about to reveal further information about the parents, Abhira hears a commotion and rushes to the source, eager to learn the truth.

Elsewhere, Abhir accidentally bumps into Armaan, and they get into a heated argument. Abhira steps in to stop them, but Abhir becomes set on taking revenge against the Poddars. Abhira warns him not to take any action he might regret.
