Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan arrives just in time to save Abhira and confront his friend's misbehaviour

Tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode begins with Abhira (Samridhii Shukla) arriving at Armaan's bachelor party as instructed by her boss. Armaan (Rohit Purohit), unaware of her presence, steps away to take a phone call. Abhira, determined yet apprehensive, knows Armaan will be upset by her actions. Dadi begins recounting Manoj's marriage story to the guests. Ruhi (Garvita Sadhwani) reflects on Abhira's words and thinks she would have preferred enjoying the party with her friends. She then receives a message from Saurabh thanking her for sending a dancer to the event, leaving her bewildered. Sanjay, planning to complicate Abhira's life, plots against her. Ruhi calls Armaan to express her discomfort about the dancer. Armaan reassures her, saying he's on his way out, earning her gratitude. Suddenly, Ruhi hears Dadi shouting and wonders about the commotion.

Abhira faces harassment:

The host requests Abhira to perform some magic tricks. She complies but is then asked to dance instead. Dadi questions how a dancer ended up at Armaan's party, with Sanjay providing a photo as proof. Krish wishes he could reveal the truth about Sanjay. Abhira, waiting for Armaan to confront her, reluctantly agrees to dance. Meanwhile, Armaan, contemplating his exit, is stopped by Ajay, who shares his marital woes. Ajay's words remind Armaan of Abhira. He advises Ajay to make adjustments in marriage, but Ajay argues that there's a difference between adjusting and living happily. Abhira begins dancing to "Chamma Chamma," hoping her actions will provoke them enough to make her leave.

Sanjay is on the phone, learning about Madhav's condition, when Manish confronts him about his actions against Abhira. They engage in a heated argument, with Sanjay defending his interference and Manish criticizing his intentions. The men at the party continue to press Abhira to dance provocatively. She contemplates fleeing but is cornered. Dadi calls her, but one of the men snatches her phone. Krish attempts to intervene, witnessing the harassment. Armaan, ready to leave, finds his car keys and starts to depart.

Armaan saves Abhira from his friends:

The situation escalates when one man demands Abhira's compliance, leading her to slap him. In retaliation, he throws her into the pool. Armaan, arriving just in time, rushes to her aid. He rescues and comforts her, wrapping her in his coat. Furious, Armaan confronts and reprimands his friend for disrespecting Abhira. He carries her to his car, scolding her for not standing up for herself. Recalling Krish's earlier call warning him about Abhira, Armaan realizes the gravity of the situation.

At home, Dadi worries about Armaan and Abhira's whereabouts. Armaan, discovering his car keys are in the pool, opts for a nearby bike. He gestures for Abhira to join him, and they ride off together, his protective hand over hers. Upon their return, they are met with concerned faces.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Armaan furiously confronts Sanjay for orchestrating the dancer's fiasco to humiliate Abhira. Sanjay admits his disdain for Abhira and vows not to attend Armaan and Ruhi's impending marriage. Abhira thanks Armaan for his support, to which he responds affirmatively, promising to always be there for her.
