Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan & Abhira’s effort to reconnect takes an unexpected turn as Roop intervenes

In Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Abhir and Charu's love story progresses toward marriage, but a long-hidden truth threatens to shake the Poddar family—Armaan's biological mother, Shivani, is alive. Fearing the truth will surface, Kaveri panics, triggering a severe attack. Meanwhile, Abhira senses something is amiss, setting the stage for her to uncover the truth of Armaan's real mother.

In the upcoming episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Madhav, sensing Armaan's inner turmoil, advises him to set aside past conflicts and attempt a conversation with Abhira. He emphasises that even the most complex issues in the world can be resolved through conversation, so their misunderstandings should not be an exception. Encouraged by Madhav's words, Armaan gathers the strength to reach out to Abhira. He calls her and expresses his desire to meet her at a special place, hoping to discuss something important. Hearing this, Abhira feels a sense of relief and a smile spreads across her face. She, too, looks forward to their meeting, eager to share her thoughts with him.

As both prepare for the anticipated conversation, Armaan arrives at their chosen spot, only to be taken aback by an unexpected sight—Roop is already there with Abhira. To his shock, Roop kneels before her, holding out his bike keys and house keys as he confesses his love. He admits that he had always tried to escape from love, but fate had other plans, pulling him so deeply into Abhira's affection that he could no longer deny it. With sincerity in his eyes, he asks her to marry him.

Witnessing this moment from a distance, Armaan misinterprets the situation. His heart shatters, and without waiting to hear Abhira's response, he walks away, overwhelmed by pain and misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Abhira, unaware of Armaan's presence and reaction, prepares to turn down Roop's proposal.
