Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan and Madhav bring Abhira back home just in time, before Ruhi can file an FIR

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Star Plus' iconic show, continues to keep viewers on the edge of their seats with its gripping storyline after a five-month leap. In the latest twist, Abhir uncovers the truth about Daksh's parentage and hands him over to his biological parents. This revelation forces Armaan to take responsibility for switching the babies, protecting Rohit from the consequences.

For those unfamiliar with the storyline, Abhira, who has always believed Daksh to be her biological son, is shocked to learn that he is, in fact, the child of Ruhi and Rohit. Rohit had entrusted Daksh to Abhira and Armaan, assuming that Ruhi needed time to recover after childbirth.

In the upcoming episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Abhira, driven by a mother's love, runs away with Daksh, causing a stir in the Poddar household. Ruhi accuses Abhira of kidnapping her child and demands that an FIR be filed against her.

On her way to somewhere in an auto, Abhira, still processing the emotional turmoil of recent events, holds Daksh close and reflects on the deep bond between mother and child. She expresses how a baby instinctively knows who their mother is, sharing her pain with an emotional declaration. She says that no matter how much the family or Ruhi denies it, Daksh is her child. With tears in her eyes, she describes the unbreakable connection a mother shares with her child — how Daksh's cries bring tears to her eyes, and his laughter fills her heart with joy.

Meanwhile, Ruhi, furious, grabs Armaan by the collar and warns him that if Abhira does not return Daksh, she will send her to jail for kidnapping. Fearful of the situation escalating, Armaan and Madhav race against time to stop Ruhi from filing the FIR and to find Abhira before it's too late. Ultimately, they manage to track down Abhira and return her and Daksh to the Poddar household, just in time to prevent Ruhi from taking any legal action.
