Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan and Abhira's brief intimate moment under the blanket

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Ruhi urges Abhir to eat, but he refuses, insisting that he won't until he can speak with Charu. Ruhi responds, mentioning that she once thought only Armaan and Rohit were capable of making sacrifices, but now she realizes that Charu is just like them. In fact, she believes that all siblings have this tendency to sacrifice for each other. Abhira pleads with Abhir to eat, trying to reason with him by explaining that Charu is avoiding him out of fear. Abhir questions why Charu is scared, and Ruhi once again asks him to eat. Abhir sticks to his decision, asserting that even if Charu is sacrificing their love, he still won't marry Kiara.

Meanwhile, Armaan urges Kiara to eat, but she asks a random man for a blessing for her love in exchange for food. This leaves Armaan, Charu, and Manisha stunned.

As the scene shifts, Armaan is lost in thought, reminiscing about Abhira. He then spots Abhira sneaking into his room, where she asks him to call Charu because she's been avoiding her. Armaan explains that Charu doesn't want to talk and is ignoring her. Abhira insists on meeting Charu, but Kaveri calls for Kajal to get her specs from Armaan's room. Armaan and Abhira quickly hide under the blanket to avoid being discovered. As they settle beneath it, their legs brush against each other, and their eyes meet, creating a brief, intense moment between them. However, the moment is cut short when Kajal enters the area, interrupting them.

Armaan forbids Abhira from meeting Charu, but she manages to call Charu to meet with Abhir. When Charu arrives, Abhir questions her about sacrificing their love for Kiara. Charu explains that she doesn't love Abhir. Later, Armaan confronts Abhira about calling Charu to meet Abhir and reaffirms that Charu doesn't love Abhir. Abhira defends Charu's silence, attributing it to family pressures.

In another scene, Roop rushes to check on someone who has called him. Meanwhile, in the garden, Abhir continues his conversation with Charu, asking why she is giving up on their love. Armaan makes up his mind to take Charu back, and Abhira resolves to stop him. The two discuss love, with Abhir expressing his hurt over Charu's betrayal. Charu is visibly taken aback by Abhir's words.

Later, Abhira receives a call from the city hospital. She is shocked to find out that Roop has provided her number in case of an emergency. The nurse on the line asks her to sign a consent form on Roop's behalf, but Abhira refuses. After reaching the hospital, the nurse informs Abhira that if Shivani doesn't receive the injection, her health could worsen, pointing out that she just had an anxiety attack and is now recalling a past event. After hearing this, Abhira reluctantly agrees and asks the nurse to bring the paperwork.

Meanwhile, Abhira notices Shivani, who is looking at a photo of herself with Madhav, longing for his return. Shivani speaks about how she managed to get her Aaru back, but wonders when she will be able to have Madhav back. She reflects on her struggle to find him, even asking Aaru, but it seems like nothing has worked. She then shares how proud she is of their son, who has grown into a successful lawyer, and wishes Madhav could come back to see it.

Seeing the distress on Shivani's face, Abhira enters her room, but before she can see the photo, the nurse arrives with the form, causing the photo to fall. As Abhira bends down to pick it up, Shivani places her hand on Abhira, blessing her. Abhira then signs the papers and sits beside Shivani. Shivani notices Abhira's mangalsutra and, in a moment of realization, calls her "Aru's wife," leaving Abhira even more confused.
