Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira sides with Armaan, Vidya scolds her

The episode commences with the arrival of Armaan. Vidya mentions that Rohit has something to share and apologizes. Armaan embraces her, and Dadi urges Rohit to speak up. However, Rohit, claiming to have forgotten, heads upstairs. Armaan enters a room and encounters Abhira, leading to a heated argument about a cigarette smell. Despite Armaan's denial of smoking in their house, they share a moment, and Abhira requests him to remove the red socks. As he begins stitching the socks, morning arrives, and Dadi expresses gratitude for securing a major case for their firm. She insists Armaan take a toffee, but he declines, citing his inability to accept it.

Armaan later finds cigarette smell on Rohit and assumes he is smoking. Defending Rohit, he attributes their successful client acquisition to him. Dadi instructs Armaan to guide and support Rohit in handling the case. However, when Armaan confronts Rohit about his reluctance to take the case, an argument ensues. Rohit accuses Armaan of spoiling everything and refuses to discuss the matter further. In an emotional outburst, Armaan insists on knowing the truth, resulting in Rohit pushing him away, unintentionally slapping him.

Devastated, Armaan and Rohit recall their shared moments and express their anguish. Abhira comforts Armaan, while Rohit, feeling remorseful, receives support from Ruhi. Armaan reveals that Rohit has started smoking due to stress, leaving him feeling helpless and unable to assist. The situation intensifies as Rohit decides to leave, accidentally revealing a box of cigarettes. Dadi confronts Rohit about his hidden struggles, criticizing his habits and scolding both Armaan and him.
