Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Charu and Abhir’s first face-off after their marriage was called off

In tonight's episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Armaan warmly welcomes Manish, Swarna, and Surekha. Seeing the Goenkas unexpectedly leaves Abhira shaken, and she struggles to suppress her emotions.

Sensing Abhira's distress, Armaan urges her to stay calm. Swarna confronts Abhira, questioning why she never returned to the Goenka house. Surekha, on the other hand, wonders why Abhira continues to endure hardships when she could easily live a comfortable life with her family. She holds Armaan responsible for Abhira's struggles, blaming him for making her life difficult.

Overhearing the conversation, Armaan reflects on Surekha's words and acknowledges that Abhira's challenges stem from his presence in her life. He then tells Abhira that if she wishes, she is free to return to the Goenkas.

Abhira, taken aback by Armaan's suggestion, asks if he has grown tired of her, and that's why he wants her to leave. Swarna, moved by Abhira's situation, decides to extend her support. However, Abhira declines, determined to protect Armaan's dignity. Seeing her stand by him reassures Armaan.

Meanwhile, Charu learns that Armaan and Abhira have left the Poddar house and attempts to reach out to Armaan, but Kaveri intervenes, forbidding anyone from contacting him.

Elsewhere, Manish empathises with Armaan's situation and remarks that the Poddars have lost someone invaluable. Abhira appreciates Manish's understanding. Later, he hands her Akshara's pen, encouraging her to shape her own destiny. The gesture fills Abhira with joy. Just then, Armaan receives a call for a job interview.

Later, Shivani inquires about their visitors, and Abhira explains that Manish had to leave in a hurry and couldn't meet her properly, but she assures Shivani that he will return soon. Abhira then asks Shivani to bless Armaan for his interview.

Wanting to do something special, Shivani decides to prepare upma for Armaan. However, Abhira points out that he doesn't like it. Shivani insists that Armaan used to enjoy upma in the past. Armaan, not wanting to upset her, agrees to have it, but Shivani immediately picks up on his hesitation and tells him she won't be happy if he's merely forcing himself.

Meanwhile, Kaveri makes it clear that no one is allowed to contact Armaan. She is convinced that he will soon realise his mistake and come back on his own. Charu and Rohit then inform Kaveri that contractors are refusing to renew their agreements without Armaan. However, Kaveri remains firm in her stance against him.

Later, Abhira finds herself missing Akshara and wishes for some divine intervention. Elsewhere, Abhir and Kiara are stunned upon encountering Charu. When Kaveri refuses to welcome Abhir and Kiara, Ruhi steps in, revealing that she invited them for a post-wedding ritual. She persuades Kaveri to let Kiara participate in the ceremony.

Shivani notices tears in Abhira's eyes and asks if she's alright. Though Abhira attempts to conceal her emotions, Shivani comforts her. Abhira then finds herself reminiscing about Armaan's childhood.
