Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan SECURES Abhira a SENIOR position in the Poddar firm

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Kaveri surprises everyone by expressing her wish for Armaan to return to the family firm. Sanjay, taken aback by her sudden change of heart, questions her reasoning. She explains that after Manoj and Charu shared the complete truth about the firm's situation, she began to see things differently. However, despite her emotional appeal, Armaan initially stands firm on his decision not to return.

Vidya then steps in, reminding Armaan of his commitment to creating a secure future for Daksh and Pookie. She appeals to his sense of responsibility and urges him to take Rohit's place in the firm. Abhira also speaks up, advising Armaan to not make such a major career change impulsively and to think through his decision.

Eventually, Armaan changes his stance and agrees to rejoin the firm, but with one condition—Abhira must come onboard as well. His unexpected decision leaves Abhira taken aback. She finds herself in a dilemma, unsure of what to say. Vidya encourages her to accept the offer, reminding her that this opportunity could secure a brighter future for Daksh and Pookie. Charu also urges Abhira to reconsider, and even little Ruhi chimes in, complimenting how sharp she looks in the black coat and asking her to return to work.

Just then, Armaan steps forward and gently reminds Abhira that it was Akshara’s cherished dream to see her daughter wear that black coat. He emotionally appeals to her, pleading with her to honour her late mother’s dream by joining the firm.

Initially hesitant, Abhira eventually agrees to join. Armaan then places another condition. He demands that Abhira be given a partner’s role, asserting that she won’t return to the firm merely as an employee. However, she firmly states that she has no intention of snatching a senior position by pressuring Kaveri into it. Armaan insists that Abhira deserves the role based on merit and points out how Sanjay has mistreated her. Sanjay defends himself, claiming his actions were meant to draw her back. Armaan refutes his justification, saying there were better ways to handle it. Kaveri ultimately agrees to Armaan's condition, and both he and Abhira decide to rejoin the firm officially.

Kaveri feels optimistic, believing that with their return, the Poddar firm will regain its lost prestige. Curious about Armaan's business, Aryan inquires about it. Armaan reveals his intention to manage both of them. Krish offers his assistance to Armaan, but Sanjay mocks him. Armaan, however, decides to bring Krish into his team.

Later, Vidya brings Rohit's coat to Armaan and asks him to wear it. As he puts it on, memories of Rohit flash through his mind. Abhira and Armaan officially assume their positions at the firm. Vidya emotionally urges Armaan to take over Rohit's responsibilities in the office.

Meanwhile, Abhira confronts Kaveri about the real reason behind her sudden acceptance. She questions whether Kaveri fears that she and Armaan might leave the Poddar house after Pookie's birth. Kaveri admits that she believes that's exactly what will happen. Abhira counters, saying that Kaveri's assumptions are misguided and that her beliefs will soon be proven wrong.

Elsewhere, Kiara discovers Abhir's ongoing affair and becomes deeply upset. Abhir tries to comfort her and decides to meet with Charu. Meanwhile, Kiara silently vows to catch him in the act.

Back at the office, Abhira immerses herself in her work. Armaan checks on her, and the two discuss balancing work responsibilities with their duties toward Ruhi and Daksh. Armaan agrees with her perspective. He then realises that Rohit's coat feels tight, but he continues to wear it out of respect for Vidya's emotions. Abhira, however, feels it's unfair of Vidya to expect Armaan to step into Rohit's role so completely.
