Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan appreciates Ruhi's support, affectionately naming her his best friend

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Armaan (Rohit Purohit) completes the necessary paperwork to dissolve his marriage. However, Abhira's (Samridhii Shukla) spirits lift upon discovering that the pen isn't functioning properly. Sanjay and Kaveri instruct Aryan and Krish to fetch another pen. Aryan and Krish promptly procure a replacement. Armaan and Abhira prepare to sign but encounter another pen malfunction. Kaveri chastises Aryan for not having a pen, prompting Manoj and Manisha to reprimand him as well. Abhira suggests that Sanjay could have provided a backup pen. At that moment, Ruhi (Garvita Sadhwani) shares her fortunate pen. Manisha appeals to God for assistance with Armaan and Abhira's situation. Ruhi accidentally drops the pen, and just as it's about to hit the ground, Armaan steps on it, causing it to break. After several failed attempts, Kaveri decides to finalise Armaan and Abhira's divorce on Akshaya Tritiya.

Armaan expresses gratitude towards Ruhi:

Armaan reflects on his feelings for Abhira. Ruhi inquires if Armaan is distressed over Abhira. Armaan expresses gratitude to Ruhi for her supportive friendship, bringing her joy. He affectionately labels Ruhi as his closest confidante. Meanwhile, Manisha, Krish, Manoj, Kiara, and Aryan engage in a lively dance. Krish frets over how to prevent Armaan and Abhira's divorce. Meanwhile, Abhira becomes emotional, pondering Kaveri's words. Armaan seeks to comfort Abhira, questioning if she's upset about their separation. He embraces her, expressing concern for her well-being. Abhira urges Armaan not to worry about her, but he insists on caring for her. He assures Abhira that his actions stem from concern, not romantic feelings. Abruptly, Abhira awakens from her dream, anxiously pondering if Armaan intends to divorce her.

Abhira and Armaan completes the ritual together:

Abhira receives a call from Anupama, who encourages her to confront her troubles. Abhira commends Anupama for her support and congratulates her on her Super Star Chef victory. They make plans to connect later with Anupama to discuss the possibility of seeking legal advice. Abhira resolves to assist Anupama in any way she can. Meanwhile, Anupama prays for Abhira's well-being, hoping that the Poddar family will recognise her true worth. Vidya queries Kaveri about the family gathering, prompting Kaveri to initiate a search for hidden gold coins. Initially hesitant, Abhira eventually participates and surprisingly discovers all the hidden gold coins, much to the shock of the Poddar family. Madhav is delighted by the outcome, while Manisha commends Abhira's accomplishment. Abhira proceeds to offer the gold coins to the idol. On her way, she slips, prompting Armaan to lend a helping hand to Abhira, completing the ritual together.
