Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan sits alone with Pookie, leaving Abhira at the back during the bus ride

Abhimaan of Star Plus' Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has been blessed with a baby girl. While this joyous news was expected to bring them closer, it has instead strained their relationship, leading to constant disagreements and arguments. Pookie's arrival has transformed Armaan into an overprotective father. Though unintentional, his actions have begun to hurt those around him, especially Abhira.

In the upcoming episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, the Goenka and Poddar families gear up to celebrate Pookie’s first ritual together. Everyone gets dressed up and begins boarding the bus for the occasion.

Once everyone is seated, Armaan, without noticing Abhira’s absence, insists on leaving quickly, worried that any delay might affect Pookie’s schedule.

Just then, Abhira hears this and enters the bus, remarking that she has just arrived and Armaan didn’t even notice her absence. Her words leave him puzzled. While Abhira quietly takes a seat at the back, Armaan sits in the front seat with Pookie.

As the journey begins, the entire family enjoys themselves with music and dance. Amid the celebrations, Abhira starts to miss Pookie. She uses her phone camera to zoom in and get a glimpse of her daughter’s face.

Ruhi, noticing Abhira’s actions, sits beside her. She makes Abhira realise that it’s time to remind Armaan that she is a part of his life and Pookie’s life. Ruhi tells her that staying silent for too long might cost her both her daughter and her marriage.
