Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan FINALLY speaks to Vidya, thanks her for preparing the baby’s blanket

In tonight's episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, as Ruhi prepares to confess the truth to Rohit, Daksh breaks down in tears, prompting Rohit to step in and support him. Meanwhile, Manisha expresses her concerns to Manoj about Kiara's ability to craft the idol for the festival. Despite her worries, she resolves to assist Kiara, but Manoj reminds her that Kiara had never sought their help before marrying Abhir. However, he agrees that both Manisha and Swarna should support Kiara regardless.

As Kiara struggles with the idol-making process, she confesses to Manish that she hadn't anticipated it to be so challenging. Manish reassures her, stating that learning takes time and that she will eventually improve.

Elsewhere, Kaveri confronts Sanjay, demanding to know who leaked Ruhi's surrogacy news to the media. Seizing the opportunity, Sanjay attempts to turn Kaveri against Manish and Abhira. However, Kaveri remains focused on uncovering the real culprit, instructing Sanjay to investigate further.

Meanwhile, Charu quietly decides to make her own idol. On the other hand, Manish reaches out to Abhir, asking him to assist Kiara with the preparations. When Charu sees Abhir and Kiara working together, she is taken aback. Krish warns Charu against pursuing her plans, cautioning that Sanjay's influence will always stand in the way of her receiving the love she seeks. Feeling dejected, Charu contemplates his words.

Later, as Rohit tries to put Daksh to sleep, he stumbles and loses his balance. Armaan quickly intervenes, offering his support and advising Rohit to be more careful. Grateful for Armaan's presence, Rohit expresses his trust in him, stating that as long as Armaan is by his side, he has nothing to worry about when it comes to Daksh. Armaan acknowledges Rohit's efforts and understands his past hesitations due to Ruhi's involvement. However, Rohit assures Armaan that he should not dwell on the past.

Meanwhile, Armaan reflects on Ruhi's decision to disclose a significant truth to Rohit—that she once tried to stop his wedding. Just then, Vidya crosses paths with Armaan, and he takes a moment to thank her for preparing a blanket for his baby. Vidya is touched by the gesture, feeling a sense of warmth from Armaan's acknowledgement.

As the Gangaur festival begins, the Poddars and Goenkas gather for the grand celebration. Rohit urges Kaveri to put aside her pride and call Armaan and Abhira back, also asking her to accept the baby. Meanwhile, Armaan pleads with Ruhi not to reveal the past to Rohit, but Ruhi stands firm in her decision to speak the truth.

During the festivities, Rohit notices Abhir and Charu together, which leads to a confrontation. He reminds Charu that Abhir is Kiara's husband and decides to inform both families about their situation. As the puja takes place, Ruhi anxiously waits for Rohit while Armaan and Abhira set out to look for him. Armaan senses that something is troubling Abhira and questions her about it. Abhira, deeply uneasy, confesses that she has a strange feeling that something bad is about to happen.

Suddenly, a blast erupts at the temple, throwing the entire gathering into chaos. Panic spreads as people scramble for safety, while Abhira frantically searches for Ruhi amidst the commotion.
