Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan and Abhira to come face-to-face after eight years

In tonight’s Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Armaan checks Maira’s tiffin before she leaves and firmly instructs that two different kinds of fruits must be added. His concern leaves Vidya, Kajal, and Sanjay visibly surprised. Meanwhile, Manoj asks Manisha to sit down for breakfast, but she casually mentions that she has ordered high-protein food from outside. Tanya then requests Manoj to handle the office presentation and praises him for his confidence. When Manisha’s food arrives, she proudly talks about spending her own money on a personal trainer and flaunts her financial independence.

As the morning rush continues, Armaan urges Maira to hurry up since it’s her first day at school. Vidya emotionally remarks how quickly time has passed, recalling how Maira was once a small child and is now already in the 11th grade. Armaan gets lost in memories of Maira and Abhira. Kajal mentions that Manisha earlier preferred homemade breakfast prepared by her, but Armaan points out that Manisha now follows a strict high-protein diet.

Maira gets dressed for school and asks Madhav to bring her school bag. Kajal, Vidya, and Manisha lovingly surround her, helping her get ready and pampering her with affection. Touched by the love, Maira thanks everyone. However, Madhav continues to ignore Armaan. Maira asks Madhav for his pen and suddenly realises she is running late. Armaan clicks pictures of Maira, capturing the moment, and Maira reminds him to check on Kaveri before leaving.

Elsewhere, Kaveri is seen performing a headstand. Armaan praises her, calling her an inspiration, and says he wants to learn yoga from her. Kaveri avoids responding to him. Armaan excitedly shares that he has won his latest case and jokingly asks her for a toffee. Kaveri tells him the box is open and he can take as many as he wants, but bluntly adds that she cannot pretend to smile.

On the other side, Abhira is deeply hurt by Radhe Shyam’s harsh words and ends up injuring her hand. Jaya grows worried seeing her condition. Despite her pain, Abhira continues her responsibilities and distributes salaries to her staff. She also worries about Mukti’s education and the need to arrange proper equipment for the garage. Meanwhile, Tanya calls Meher strange, but Vidya defends Meher, saying she did the right thing. Vidya adds that Armaan understands relationships well, which is why he supported Meher. Kajal comments that Meher may have feelings for Armaan, which could be the reason she called off her engagement.

Later, Armaan sits down for breakfast, but accidentally breaks a glass. Madhav taunts him sharply, saying Armaan only knows how to break things—whether it’s glass, trust, or relationships. He sarcastically brings up Vidya’s earlier comment about Armaan being good at understanding relationships.

In another development, Manoj and Manisha gift a brand-new car to Kaveri. However, Kaveri feels that Tanya deserves the car the most, as she trusted Manoj wholeheartedly. Tanya initially refuses to accept the gift, but Manoj and Manisha insist. Eventually, Tanya agrees and excitedly decides to take them out for a drive.

As Kajal and Sanjay prepare to leave, Tanya asks them to support her, stating that she stands firmly with Manoj while many women continue to struggle silently. Meanwhile, Abhira takes a bold decision and announces that the garage will remain open 24/7. She clearly tells her employees that there is no pressure on them to follow this schedule if they are uncomfortable. Touched by her understanding nature and past support, the entire garage team stands by Abhira and agrees to support her decision.

In the precap, Abhira refuses to hand over her place for redevelopment unless she is given a solid guarantee. Mittal discusses the matter with Armaan. Armaan confidently says that he will personally step in and handle the woman who is refusing to shut down her shop.
