Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: After Vidya attacks Abhira's character, Armaan punishes himself with car accident

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Abhira reaches out to a contact in the bar council, requesting assistance regarding her license. However, the person asks her to call back later. Feeling disheartened, Abhira reflects on the struggles in her life—she feels Abhir is being deprived of love, and her license remains out of reach.

Lost in her thoughts, Abhira envisions Armaan in her room. In her imagination, Armaan urges her to return home, but she expresses her desire to spend time with Manisha and Abhir instead. Armaan, in this dream-like moment, confesses that he doesn't feel at peace without her. However, Abhira dismisses him, asking him to leave. Armaan, unwilling to let go, holds onto her. Returning to reality, Abhira sighs, realising that the Armaan she once knew has changed—he only knows how to raise his voice now. Despite everything, she finds herself missing him.

Meanwhile, Roop records a video with a Paris backdrop. Abhira arrives at his place and notices him engrossed in his phone. Surprised, Roop questions her presence at his house. She explains that she has come to discuss a case through Manish. Roop then prepares to record another video, and Abhira offers her assistance. However, Roop loses focus and, in frustration, blames Abhira for distracting him.

At another place, Vidya is deep in thought about Armaan. She directly asks him if he is truly happy, but Armaan avoids giving a clear answer. Meanwhile, Roop finds himself increasingly drawn to Abhira. Vidya again confronts Armaan, sensing his reluctance. He insists that he is happy when surrounded by family.

Upon arriving at the temple, Vidya's saree gets caught near a car. Noticing her struggle, Armaan approaches to help but finds himself unable to open the car door. At the same time, Abhira notices Vidya and urges Roop to help her. However, Roop refuses, reluctant to extend help to Armaan's mother. Abhira, determined, requests him again.

Eventually, Roop agrees and attempts to assist Vidya. However, upon seeing him, Armaan refuses to accept his help. This leads to a confrontation between Abhira and Roop, where she accuses him of not genuinely trying to support Vidya. Roop clarifies that he had offered assistance, but Vidya had rejected it. A playful exchange follows between them, but just then, a crow's droppings land on Armaan's suit. Abhira offers him a tissue, and when she sees him struggling to clean it, she takes over, wiping it herself, which doesn't go unnoticed by Vidya.

Noticing Abhira with Roop's closeness, Vidya jumps to conclusions. She harshly accuses Abhira of moving on, and character assassinates her. Roop immediately steps in to defend Abhira, but she stops him, unwilling to engage further. Vidya, still furious, turns to Armaan and tells him to open his eyes and move on as well. Roop, visibly upset, tells Vidya she has crossed the line. Abhira and Roop then leave together, leaving Armaan and Vidya in shock.

Feeling bad for Abhira, Roop worries that she won't be able to attend an important meeting. To support her, he decides to step in and help by offering headphones. Meanwhile, both Armaan and Abhira find their thoughts drifting toward each other. Armaan, weighed down by guilt, holds himself responsible for the argument between Abhira and Vidya.

Upon reaching the house, Roop notices that Abhira is unresponsive. He asks the auto driver to allow her to rest for as long as she needs, reassuring him that she can sit for however long it takes to recover. Roop hands over all the money he has to the driver and instructs the house staff to keep an eye on her. Meanwhile, Armaan, overwhelmed by guilt, punishes himself. He picks up a stone and places it on the accelerator before stepping out of the car. As the car moves forward, the accelerator gets pressed, and the vehicle crashes into a tree. Vidya, panic-stricken, rushes to the scene. Armaan, attempting to calm her, reassures her that everything will be okay.
