Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan arrives at Abhira’s house, only to be shocked by what he sees

Tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode opens with Abhira noticing Mukti struggling in the kitchen and questioning what she is trying to do. Mukti ends up creating a mess, which makes Abhira ask her to stop and step aside, assuring her that Jaya will take care of the cooking. Mukti then reveals that there are no essentials like flour, dal, or rice left at home, making it difficult to prepare anything. Trying to manage the situation, she tells Abhira that she is making khichdi since Jaya and Nilesh have gone to Rinku’s place. She also encourages Abhira to stop worrying about household matters and instead focus on Maira’s case.

At that moment, there is a knock on the door. Mukti moves to open it, but Abhira immediately stops her, fearing it could be Mittal’s goon. She asks the visitor to identify himself, and it turns out to be Armaan. Both Abhira and Mukti feel relieved and welcome him inside. Armaan shares that he has brought food for them, but Abhira insists that Mukti is already cooking. Mukti, however, convinces her that since Armaan has brought food, they should eat that instead. Armaan then helps Mukti in serving the meal.

As Armaan looks around the house, he is visibly shocked by Abhira’s living conditions and begins to understand the struggles she and Mukti are going through. He questions Mukti about how she planned to cook without any ingredients. Mukti explains that Jaya usually manages the meals, but this month their money was spent on Abhira’s medicines. Armaan feels concerned hearing this. Abhira notices his expression and questions why he is looking at her with sympathy, but Armaan clarifies that he does not pity her.

Soon, Kaveri, Madhav, Tanya, Aryan, and Disha arrive at Abhira’s house. They interact warmly with Mukti, making her feel at ease. Seeing Mukti happy in their company brings a smile to Abhira’s face.

Elsewhere, Manisha asks Kajal to taste the food, while Vidya questions her about the Poddars. Manisha informs her that everyone has gone to Abhira’s house, which leaves Vidya upset. Back at Abhira’s place, the Poddars continue spending time with Mukti, and before leaving, she warmly invites them to visit again.

Meanwhile, Krish secretly hides inside Abhira’s house. Abhira later finds out that he had earlier come to her garage, created unnecessary trouble, and even broke a car window. Armaan confronts Krish and asks him to pay for the damage. Krish, however, decides to stay in Armaan and Abhira’s good books so that his truth does not come out—that he has been working for Meher and had shared Maira’s location with her. Abhira and Armaan are left wondering how Meher found out about Maira. Tanya thinks about revealing the truth to Abhira, but Krish manipulates her into staying quiet.

Later, Abhira overhears a conversation between Armaan and Kaveri. Kaveri speaks about the hardships Abhira has faced. Armaan mentions that Abhira had sent him the custody papers, even though she is not someone who would easily break a relationship. This leaves Abhira shocked, as she believed that Armaan was the one who wanted the separation. She tries to approach him to clear the misunderstanding, but Mukti interrupts her by showing Koel’s scrunchy.

This makes Abhira realize that Koel was also present at the hostel along with Mukti and Maira. Sensing a possible link, she decides to confront Koel to find out if she knows something important.

Soon after, Abhira receives important files from the Poddar firm to help her fight Maira’s case. On the other hand, Tanya gathers courage once again to reveal Krish’s truth to Kaveri. However, before she can do so, Kajal overhears everything. Kajal learns that Krish was the one who shared Maira’s location with Meher and immediately pressures Tanya to keep it a secret.

At the same time, Abhira is left disturbed by one question—if neither she nor Armaan sent the custody papers, then who actually did?

In the precap, Abhira learns from Kajal that Vidya was the one who separated her from Armaan and Maira. Vidya firmly states that she made this decision for their better future and shows no regret over breaking Abhira and Armaan’s relationship.
