Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan finally takes the right stand, choosing Abhira over everyone else

Tonight’s Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode opens with Abhira expressing that Maira needs her support at this moment. Kaveri advises her to focus on her own health first, but Abhira remains firm and insists that she must meet Maira no matter what. Armaan requests her to stay calm and wait until her discharge formalities are completed. Meanwhile, Krish contacts Meher and informs her that Maira has already left for the hostel. Hearing this, Meher feels relieved that the Poddars are still unaware of the situation. She reflects on Maira’s nature of always protecting others, just like Abhira, and decides that she must also “end Maira’s chapter.”

On the other hand, the inspector continues searching for Meher. Mittal informs him that she is not at home. Soon after, he discovers a letter left behind by Meher. In the note, Meher writes that in order to begin something new, she must first bring closure to the old chapter of her life.

Vidya calls Armaan, but he asks her to stop the calls as he is currently occupied with Abhira. Vidya insists that he return, claiming that innocent Meher is still waiting. Armaan, however, strongly responds that Meher has tried to kill Abhira and he will not show any mercy. He also makes it clear that his priority is to take care of Abhira.

Krish becomes anxious, realizing that he may have unintentionally revealed Maira’s location to Meher. Vidya continues to believe that Abhira may have manipulated Armaan against Meher. Madhav questions how Vidya can still trust Meher despite everything, while Manisha adds that Abhira cannot manipulate both Maira and Armaan, suggesting that Meher is indeed responsible for the chaos.

Meanwhile, Mukti searches for Abhira’s lucky charm. At the hostel, Maira meets Mukti, and the two have an emotional moment. Maira asks why Mukti is not angry with her, to which Mukti replies that Meher is the real culprit, so there is no reason for anger between them. The two reconcile. Soon, Maira learns that Meher had also attempted to harm Abhira. Disturbed, she prays for Abhira’s safety, and both Mukti and Maira decide to rush to meet her.

Elsewhere, Abhira, Kaveri, and Armaan are trying desperately to reach Maira’s hostel. All of them are anxious to save Maira and Mukti from Meher’s attack. Abhira urges Armaan to drive faster, but their car gets stuck on the way. Despite Kaveri reminding her of her weak health, Abhira insists that nothing matters more than Maira and Mukti’s safety. Armaan then asks Kaveri to return home and decides to support Abhira in reaching the hostel on time.

At the hostel, Maira and Mukti spot a driver and decide to seek help. However, Meher attacks him brutally and is about to kill him when Maira steps in to protect him. In the chaos, Meher attacks Maira, forcing both girls to flee and hide.

Back at home, Madhav tells Mittal that Meher’s truth is now exposed and her game is over. Mittal grows worried for Meher. The Poddars also watch Meher’s confession and react in shock. Kaveri returns home and realizes no one is answering her calls. She informs everyone that Abhira and Armaan have gone to the hostel to protect Maira and Mukti. Vidya continues to stand against Abhira, while Kaveri strongly opposes her views. Krish becomes increasingly tense, fearing that Meher may expose him as well. Tanya also begins to doubt Krish.

At the same time, Abhira and Armaan fight goons on their way to the hostel. Mukti and Maira try calling Armaan for help. Abhira instructs Mukti to lock herself in a room and not open the door until help arrives. Maira wonders what Abhira is doing with Armaan, while Mukti explains that they are coming to protect them from Meher.

In the precap, Meher confronts Maira and attacks her in a violent clash. During the struggle, Meher loses her balance and falls down the stairs. Maira is then accused of causing Meher’s death and is taken into juvenile custody. Abhira and Mukti are left shattered and in tears as Maira is sent to a juvenile centre.
