Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan breaks down upon hearing Vidya & Madhav's conversation

The episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai begins with Manish confiding in Abhira about Aarohi, expressing his hopes for Ruhi to find support and love in her future husband. 

Abhira assures Manish to help Ruhi move on:

Abhira assures him that Ruhi won't be alone and promises to talk to her about marriage, hoping to bring happiness to her mother. However, when Abhira goes to find Armaan, she discovers he's not around and ends up eating a cupcake while reminiscing about him.

Armaan overhears Vidya & Madhav's conversation:

Meanwhile, Vidya confronts Madhav about Ma sa putting a garland on Rohit's picture, insisting that he's still alive. Armaan overhears their conversation outside the door. Vidya expresses her distress over Ruhi's upcoming remarriage, feeling like her hope is being taken away. She accuses Madhav of not seeing her pain and questions her own worth compared to his first wife. She asks, "Why didn’t you see me? Tell me." Madhav responds, "It's not like that." She continues, expressing her feelings, "I can't even look at myself in the mirror. I wonder what that woman had that I don't. If she were better than me, Maasa would have chosen her as the daughter-in-law. But that didn't happen. Despite it all, I've continued to smile and accepted that woman and your son." Armaan over hears this conversation and sits down crying.

Later, Abhira attempts to hang a frame on the wall but notices that there are no pictures of her and Armaan. When Armaan arrives, Abhira offers him a cupcake and acknowledges that moving on takes time, suggesting they help Ruhi through this process. Armaan feeds Ruhi a cupcake, but she remains skeptical, questioning their intentions and refusing to meet the prospective suitor.

As tensions escalate, Abhira accidentally steps on broken glass and Armaan rushes to her aid, prompting Ruhi to accuse them of interfering in her life. Abhira urges Ruhi to let go of her sadness and move forward, but Ruhi remains adamant about her decision. Meanwhile, Madhav and Abhira engage in a game to distract themselves from their worries, reflecting on the complexities of relationships.

Meanwhile, Suwarna and Manish attempt to convince Ruhi to consider marriage for the sake of their happiness, but Ruhi remains hesitant. Later, Armaan apologizes to Abhira for his behavior, realizing that Ruhi is capable of making her own decisions. In summary, the episode delves into the emotional turmoil within the family as they grapple with the prospect of Ruhi's remarriage and navigate their own relationships and responsibilities.
