Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira wins Maira's heart in their first interaction, she calls her 'Pari'

Star Plus' Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai recently took a dramatic seven-year leap, turning everyone's lives upside down. The story, which once showed Abhira and Armaan embracing parenthood with the birth of their daughter, has now taken a complex turn with the couple's relationship falling apart.

Post-leap, the narrative focuses on the Poddar family's journey after the separation. Abhira is seen leading a simple, middle-class life with Kaveri and Vidya. The duo is now engaged in a saree business to support themselves. Meanwhile, Armaan is raising their daughter, Maira, also known as Pookie, in Mount Abu. They live in a rented apartment owned by Geetanjali and Daadu, who have developed a warm, familial bond with both Armaan and Maira.

Maira, unaware of her real mother's identity, shares a deep affection for Geetanjali and even wishes to call her "mother." However, the latest episode takes an emotional turn when Armaan confronts Maira. He sternly reminds her that Geetanjali is only a family friend, not her mother. The conversation escalates when Maira insists on learning about her mother, prompting a frustrated Armaan to lose his temper and push her in the heat of the moment. As emotions run high, viewers can expect an intense and heartfelt track ahead, especially with Abhira and Maira on the verge of crossing paths for the first time in years.

In the upcoming episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Abhira takes the initiative to kickstart an online saree business. She teams up with Kaveri and Vidya to photograph their saree collection and upload it onto a newly created website. Once the setup is complete, Abhira informs them that all the images are live and their contact numbers, along with the website link, have also been added.

Soon after, they receive a phone call, which leaves all three of them thrilled. Kaveri answers and puts the call on speaker. To their surprise, a little girl's voice greets them, it's none other than Maira, aka Pookie. The moment Abhira hears her, she feels an instant bond and can't help but smile warmly.

Taking over the call, Abhira asks which saree Maira liked. Maira joyfully says she loved every single one and adds that she wants them all delivered the very next day. Abhira, a bit taken aback by the urgency, asks why so soon. Maira sweetly insists, saying that Abhira is so kind that she's sure to send them by tomorrow.

Before ending the call, Maira affectionately says that Abhira's cuteness reminds her of Pari and decides to call her Pari from now on, winning over Abhira's heart even more.
