Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan enters as manager, but faces Geetanjali’s wrath for quitting RJ

Tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode begins with Dadu arriving in Komalgadh, accompanied by Geetanjali and Maira. During the journey, Geetanjali brings up the topic of the wedding, to which Dadu mentions that they'll soon be meeting the bride's family for the first time. On reaching, Kajal and Sanjay warmly welcome them. Kajal is delighted to see Maira and shares a warm moment with her.

Meanwhile, Kaveri is caught off guard when Vidya unexpectedly shows up at Venue. Vidya expresses her fondness for Abhira and explains that it's what brought her here. Kaveri appreciates Vidya's gesture and thanks her for coming.

Soon after, Abhira makes her entrance with Tanya and Kiara by her side. Anshuman is left awestruck by Abhira's appearance and can't help but admire her. He mentions that the family has gathered to celebrate Krish and Tanya's upcoming wedding and begins searching for Krish.

Tanya teases that Krish is planning a grand entrance, and just as expected, Krish makes a lively and energetic entry with a dance performance, later joined by Tanya. Curious about the celebrations, Abhira questions the occasion, and Anshuman reveals that since she's going to be his wife, it's only fitting for her to welcome Krish as his sister-in-law. Kiara jokingly says she'll keep teasing Krish until the wedding day, though deep down she remains suspicious of his intentions and feels determined to uncover the truth if he's hiding something.

The couples, Krish and Tanya, Anshuman and Abhira, are invited to welcome one another. At that moment, Maira calls Abhira and tries to approach her, but Geetanjali stops her, stating that Abhira is currently occupied. This sudden dismissal surprises Abhira.

Krish then suggests that Anshuman and Abhira join in a dance, but Anshuman declines, saying Abhira isn't fond of such things and her comfort matters more. Krish assures them he doesn't want to make her uneasy and casually mentions that he's hired a manager for the event. To everyone's astonishment, Armaan enters, revealing himself as the manager. Maira instantly recognises him and calls out, leaving the guests stunned to learn that Armaan is her father.

Krish tries to diffuse the tension, advising Maira to have a private conversation with Armaan later and instructing Armaan to bring Abhira's gift. Both Abhira and Armaan are taken aback by the situation.

Elsewhere, Manisha silently hopes that Armaan's presence will stop the impending wedding. Kiara and Manoj are confused about Maira calling Armaan her father. Kajal cautions Manisha not to indulge in such thoughts, reminding her that Armaan is engaged to Geetanjali now.

Sanjay expresses concern to Krish about hiring Armaan, calling it a risky move. However, Krish brushes it off, saying Armaan poses no threat. Sanjay remains unconvinced, but Krish ignores the warning.

Meanwhile, Geetanjali takes Armaan aside and expresses her decision to leave with Maira. She says she had no idea that the relative Dadu spoke about would turn out to be Armaan’s uncle. Unknowingly, she brought Maira here. She questions how Armaan could make such a big decision without thinking of Maira and what excuse he has for putting her in this situation. Geetanjali tells him that although she’s never interfered in his personal matters, this situation involves Maira too, and that gives her every right to speak up. She confronts Armaan for suddenly quitting his job at RJ Mount Abu and not considering how it might affect his daughter.

She points out that Abhira is also present here and could find out the truth about Maira at any moment. Yet Armaan still isn’t thinking about the impact it could have. Geetanjali tells him he's making a big mistake.

She then firmly says that she and Maira need to leave the place. Noticing Armaan’s silence, she urges him to say something. She asks if his intention is to hurt Abhira by letting her find out that Maira is his daughter or to let her live in constant fear that Abhira might learn the truth any time.

Geetanjali brings up how confused Maira looked when she saw Armaan working as a manager. She questions why he accepted the job in the first place. Armaan replies that he can’t share the reason with her, but Geetanjali asks him to at least give her a clear answer so she can leave with Maira peacefully. When Armaan agrees, Geetanjali tells him she will inform Maira and prepare to leave right away. Armaan, however, reflects on how focusing solely on Maira led him to neglect other important relationships. He makes up his mind to mend the issues in the Poddar household before returning to Mount Abu.

Later, Anshuman questions Armaan about joining Krish's office, which irritates Armaan. He snaps back, implying that Anshuman is feeling insecure, leading to a heated exchange between the two.

In an effort to lift Abhira's mood, Anshuman suggests clicking pictures together. Just then, Abhira notices Armaan with Geetanjali and decides to pose with Anshuman, possibly to make a point. Armaan is visibly shaken seeing the two together.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, the police inform Abhira that there's a possibility Pookie might not be alive, which leaves her shattered. Geetanjali confronts Abhira and reprimands her for trying to connect with Maira, leaving Abhira in complete disbelief.
