Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan and Ruhi exchange rings

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Abhira's (Samridhii Shukla) thoughts wander to Armaan (Rohit Purohit) despite being asked by the client to be focused. He is similarly preoccupied with thoughts of her. Meanwhile, Ruhi (Garvita Sadhwani) eagerly exchanges rings with Armaan, although he seems confused. Kaveri instructs Armaan to pick up the ring. Abhira becomes distracted by Armaan's engagement and loses her concentration, prompting the client to check on her well-being. Ruhi successfully places the ring on Armaan's finger, but Abhira's distress leads her to shatter a glass in her hand, making Armaan uneasy. Ruhi then requests that Armaan place a ring on her finger as well. Frustrated, the client cancels the meeting with Abhira, who tries to persuade them to proceed with the interview. The client insists she focus on preparing for the interview rather than wasting time.

Armaan and Ruhi exchange rings:

Feeling foolish for being distracted by the engagement, Abhira resolves not to think about Armaan and Ruhi. She decides to leave, and Kaveri instructs Armaan to exchange the rings, but he accidentally drops it. When Abhira notices the ring, Armaan decides to retrieve it from her, leaving her stunned. Meanwhile, Manish questions Ruhi's certainty about marrying Armaan, noting her nervousness around Armaan and Abhira. After cleaning the ring, Armaan and Ruhi exchange rings. Armaan promises Ruhi he won't lose focus again. Abhira feels uneasy, and Ruhi seeks blessings from everyone. Manish advises Ruhi and Armaan to use their judgment, shocking the Poddars.

Armaan spots Ruhi:

Despite the cold, Abhira resolves not to cry over Armaan and Ruhi. She decides to eat something to distract herself and searches for a food stall. Kiara asks Manisha if Armaan and Ruhi will marry soon. Krish mentions that Kiara and Aryan supported the wedding, but Aryan believes Armaan suits Abhira better. Manisha remarks that Abhira didn't try to stop the engagement. Armaan and Ruhi plan to donate food to the needy, and Armaan notices Abhira among the poor and assumes she is in need of money. As Abhira leaves, Ruhi observes Armaan's unease and questions him about his feelings towards their engagement. Armaan reassures Ruhi that he is happy. Meanwhile, Abhira returns to her room, feeling restless. To her surprise, Armaan follows her to the room, leaving her stunned.
