Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan falls to Abhira’s feet; Kiara’s love interest makes an entry

In tonight’s episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Kaveri, not knowing that Maira is dressed as Kanhaiya and throwing flowers on her, suspects Abhira. But soon, another flower falls, and Abhira tells Kaveri that she herself has seen it now — she was not the one throwing flowers and that someone else is behind it. Determined to find the truth, Kaveri decides to investigate.

After this, the Poddar ladies begin performing on the song Kisna Hai. Kiara encourages Abhir to join them. Though he hesitates, she pulls him to the floor, and while he sings, the women dance as Kiara records the moment. Abhir shows everyone that Maira is playful, and soon Kaveri brings her to the dance floor. Together, the family enjoys the performance. During the dance, Maira even kisses Kaveri, making the moment more joyful.

Later, Maira takes Armaan’s hand in one and Abhira’s in the other, while Abhira holds Anshuman’s hand, and the four of them dance at the front while the rest join in behind. After a while, Armaan lets go of Maira’s hand, leaving her with Abhira and Anshuman as her new family. This moment is quietly noticed by Abhira, Kaveri, and Vidya.

As the celebration continues, Maira serves juice to the family members. Kajal points out that Maira is too young to take up serving duties and encourages her to join the fun instead. However, Maira explains that the staff has been exhausted and continues helping. When she offers a glass to Abhira, Abhira hesitates, saying she cannot finish the entire glass. Maira then suggests she share it with Armaan. To keep Maira’s spirits high, Abhira agrees and passes half of it to Armaan.

Elsewhere, Kiara plans to capture some photos of Abhir and begins searching for the perfect backdrop. At that moment, Saharsh introduces himself to her. While Kiara attends to a guest, she asks Saharsh to wait. He lightheartedly remarks that he can eat alone for now but hopes they can share a meal the following day. Confused, Kiara responds with “Excuse me?” which Saharsh cleverly turns into a playful joke about an “Excuse Me Café” on GK Road, teasing her about their so-called first date. Kiara, however, sternly declines and tries to walk away.

Manisha steps in, teasingly suggesting that Kiara should indeed go on a date with Saharsh. Kiara protests, asking what purpose such a meeting would serve. Manisha jests that Kiara could even give him maths tuition, before seriously advising her that most of her friends are already married, and it is time for her to think about settling down as well. Irritated, Kiara retorts that just because her friends chose a certain path, it doesn’t mean she must follow blindly. She reminds Manisha that she was once married to Abhir and firmly says she does not wish to remarry or even discuss marriage. Hurt, she warns Manisha not to involve Saharsh in such conversations. Despite Manisha calling after her, Kiara storms off. Unknown to her, Abhir overhears the entire exchange and realizes what Kiara truly feels.

Meanwhile, Abhira appears restless in her room. She confronts Armaan, asking why he doesn’t stay in his own room. Armaan responds that it never felt like his space alone. He then inquires about Anshuman, saying there is something important he needs to discuss with him. Abhira replies that she too has something significant to share with Armaan, but before she can continue, Maira interrupts them.

On the other side, Kiara is visibly upset while replaying her interaction with Saharsh in her mind. Abhir approaches her and advises her to move on with life. Kiara, however, insists she has already moved forward and does not need anyone. Abhir challenges her, saying if that is true, she should prove it by going on a date with Saharsh.

Later during the festivities, Anshuman and Aryan compete in the dahi handi celebration. Following the event, Maira encourages Abhira and Armaan to take part together in breaking the handi. While doing so, the two begin reminiscing about their past. In a tense moment, Armaan prevents Abhira from falling, but in the process, he loses balance and ends up falling at her feet.

Abhira helps Armaan get back on his feet, and just then Maira runs to them and hugs them, happily saying that both her parents are together today. This moment, however, leaves Tanya and Anshuman upset.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Abhira tells Vidya that she has let go of the past and forgiven Armaan. Vidya then urges Armaan to stop Abhira’s marriage with Anshuman. At the same time, Abhir questions Abhira if she genuinely wishes to marry Anshuman, leaving her stunned.
