Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Dadi puts a condition that if Ruhi leaves now, she can't come back

Tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode begins with Armaan reprimanding Ruhi, who insists that she took those pills by mistake but genuinely wants to end her life. Armaan, concerned, questions her sanity, and Ruhi, overwhelmed with pain, expresses how life has drained her strength. She feels tossed around by everyone, from Rohit to her family, and laments being treated like an object rather than a person with feelings. Armaan, trying to comfort her, offers water and pleads with her to keep trying.

Ruhi shares her confusion about her identity, torn between being Ruhi Birla and Ruhi Poddar, and questions why she can't just be herself. Armaan blames himself for the situation and vows to fix things, expressing his desire to see her well. Abhira enters with glucose water for Ruhi, who drinks it. After listening to Manish's advice, Dadi contemplates letting Ruhi go for her happiness. Armaan notices Abhira in the background.

Dadi acknowledges her mistake the following day, realizing Ruhi should decide her fate. However, she imposes a condition – if Ruhi leaves today, she can never return, even if Rohit returns. Ruhi looks at Armaan, and Manish objects to Dadi's approach. Ruhi chooses to stay, citing hope and her acceptance of fate. Dadi relents, and the Poddar family leaves. Armaan and Abhira discuss Dadi's mysterious condition.

Later, Abhira celebrates passing her exams, while Armaan encourages her but emphasizes that manifestation is a tool for personal satisfaction. A month passes, and Armaan congratulates Abhira on her achievement. Meanwhile, Ruhi struggles with her emotions and refuses to eat. Armaan insists, and he encourages her to live when she finally eats. Vidya and Manisha witnessed this, realizing Ruhi needed a friend.

Sensing Ruhi's need for space, Armaan goes to her room with fruits. Abhira teases him and asks him to leave. Armaan, slightly embarrassed, hands over the fruits to Ruhi. Vidya and Dadi express gratitude for Armaan's efforts. Abhira, criticizing Ruhi's dependence on the family, receives a scolding from Dadi. Abhira emphasizes that a child needs to learn to walk on their own.
