Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan believes no one can take Geetanjali's place in Maira's life

In tonight's episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Abhira suggests that Kaveri and Vidya should sleep on the floor for the night. Taken aback, Kaveri questions whether Abhira genuinely wants her to do that. Abhira lightly responds that the floor stays cooler. Kaveri playfully remarks that she feels like a teenager again, making Vidya chuckle at her antics. Eventually, Kaveri agrees to sleep on the floor with a smile.

Elsewhere, Dadu shares an interesting revelation that Geetanjali is actually a skilled dancer. However, when Maira urges Geetanjali to perform, she refuses, saying she doesn't want to participate. Armaan supports Maira, asserting that no one can take Geetanjali's place in her life and that Maira is only at ease dancing with her. Moved by their words, Geetanjali agrees to help Maira, and Maira in return offers to help Geetanjali rehearse.

Meanwhile, Tanya grows anxious over how her engagement pictures will turn out. Anshuman tries to calm her down but soon begins to question the Poddar family's intentions. Tanya then points out how cleverly Kaveri had proposed Kajal marry Sanjay to manage the business. Anshuman wonders aloud about the gaps in the Poddar family history.

On another front, Abhira goes to the electricity department regarding a billing issue. A security guard there tries to extort her by demanding ?30,000 to "resolve" the problem. Realising it's a scam, Abhira boldly decides to involve the police. Just then, Kaveri contacts her, urging her to return home as Anshuman has summoned them all.

Kaveri and Vidya stress over how to face Anshuman alone. Abhira reassures them not to worry. Just then, Anshuman appears on a bicycle, prompting a concerned Kaveri to scold him for being reckless. He's surprised but oddly comforted. The moment makes Abhira nostalgic for Armaan. Kaveri and Vidya prepare to leave, thinking Anshuman is going to ask them to go. But to their surprise, he stops them and expresses that he enjoyed being scolded after such a long time. When he subtly brings up someone from the past, Kaveri stays quiet, unwilling to admit she misses Armaan. Anshuman hands them a cheque and also realises that Abhira had forgotten her tiffin.

Back with Maira and Armaan, they are seen fixing the speaker setup for practice. Geetanjali accidentally injures her hand, prompting Maira to step in and assist her. She tells Armaan to continue fixing the speaker system while she tends to Geetanjali.

Later, Abhira, Kaveri, and Vidya are startled when Anshuman returns unexpectedly at. He tells them that he only came back to return Abhira's tiffin, but ended up eating it during the ride.

Tanya, meanwhile, visits Kajal and Manisha but isn't impressed with the kitchen setup. She boldly demands a walk-in closet instead. Krish jokingly suggests she take over Kaveri, Vidya, or Abhira's room since they're not planning to come back, leaving Kajal and Manisha stunned.

During lunch, Vidya offers food to Anshuman. However, he insists that he will eat only what Abhira prepares. Impressed by her cooking, Anshuman praises her efforts. Elsewhere, Armaan gently helps Geetanjali tie her ghungroo before practice begins.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Maira eagerly looks forward to attending the final round in Udaipur. While Armaan initially refuses to accompany her, Maira remains adamant. Meanwhile, Abhira hopes that the upcoming cultural fest will mark the beginning of her happiness.
