Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira left shocked after discovering Armaan’s grave mistake

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Abhira checks with Armaan to see if he is prepared for the court hearing. Armaan tells her that today is not just about arguing the case but about winning it, no matter what. To boost his confidence and luck, Abhira reveals that she has brought a few meaningful things for him. She gives him the sacred thread blessed by Vidya, important notes prepared by Sanjay and Manoj, Madhav's medal, and curd sent by Maira. While assisting him, Abhira accidentally spills some curd on Armaan's coat, leaving him momentarily surprised.

Abhira steps in to help Meher before the judge arrives

Soon after, Armaan is taken aback when he spots Meher along with Mittal. Abhira is reminded of her earlier interaction with Meher. Mittal asks Armaan if he is ready to face the courtroom battle, and Armaan replies with confidence, saying he is fully prepared. He also requests Meher to strictly follow all instructions during the hearing. Mittal advises Armaan to focus only on presenting the case, assuring him that he will manage the rest.

Courtroom drama begins as Armaan faces a tough opponent

Before the proceedings begin, Abhira stops Meher and gently points out that her outfit might upset the judge. Armaan supports Abhira's concern. Mittal suggests arranging new clothes for Meher, but Armaan says there is no time left as the judge could arrive at any moment. Taking charge, Abhira quickly helps Meher adjust her appearance.

Meanwhile, Sanjay updates the Poddar family about the case, sharing that he has asked his junior to keep a close watch and relay every detail. At the same time, Tanya gets a call from Krish, who confidently claims that he will soon sort everything out. His words make Tanya uneasy, and she begins to doubt his intentions.

Armaan presents a strong defence for Meher

Inside the courtroom, Armaan puts forward a strong defence for Meher, while Khurana, the opposing lawyer, challenges him fiercely at every step. Sanjay admits that Armaan's rival is equally sharp and feels that losing this case is not an option for him. During the hearing, Abhira notices a woman sitting with her face hidden and suspects that she might be the same person who had earlier approached her for help.

Khurana brings a witness to portray Meher as someone with anger issues. In response, Armaan presents an eyewitness who reveals that Meher was sexually assaulted by her driver and was later found covered in blood, clearly acting to protect herself. Through a flashback, Meher confesses to Armaan that she once lost control and damaged her employee's phone in anger.

Anita’s entry turns the case in a new direction

As Khurana continues trying to prove Meher guilty, Krish confidently predicts Armaan's defeat. However, Armaan firmly proves that Meher did not kill Rajat deliberately and that her actions were purely in self-defence. The judge intervenes and warns both lawyers to maintain discipline in the courtroom.

The situation takes another turn when Khurana calls Rajat's wife, Anita, to testify. Abhira is stunned on seeing her. Anita quietly says something to Khurana, after which he asks for a private statement. Armaan strongly objects and goes on to show that Anita never made any effort to save Rajat, indirectly pointing towards his wrongdoing. Armaan concludes by stating that Meher acted only to save herself.

Precap for the Next Episode

In the precap, after carefully examining all the evidence and proof, the judge announces the verdict in Armaan’s favour and declares Meher innocent, restoring her dignity and honour. A relieved and happy Armaan thanks Abhira for standing firmly by his side throughout the case. He tells her that if he won today, it was only because of her support, and adds that together they managed to protect Daadi’s dream from being shattered. Armaan then leaves.

Soon after, Abhira receives a call from Anita, who darkly suggests that even though Armaan won the case, he has actually lost something far more important. Shocked by Anita’s words, Abhira drops the phone and wonders about the serious mistake Armaan have made.
