Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Geetanjali pulls Armaan away from Abhira, stops him from revealing Maira's truth

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Armaan becomes emotional when he sees Abhira and feels torn, believing he shouldn't be the cause of more pain in her life. Just as he's about to comfort her, Kaveri steps in and stops him from getting close. She reminds Armaan that he had promised to drop Geetanjali. Abhira, noticing the situation, tells him to go ahead, saying it's not fair to keep someone waiting unnecessarily. Kaveri then advises Abhira to stop holding onto the past and try moving forward with her life.

Later, Armaan tells Geetanjali that he wants to reveal the truth about Pookie to Abhira. But Geetanjali reminds him that he had earlier chosen to keep that secret. Armaan explains that Abhira is still looking for Pookie, and he feels he's being unfair to a mother who deserves answers. He's also worried about how he will break the news to Pookie. Geetanjali encourages him to be honest with Abhira. Armaan acknowledges that it can't be easy for her to support him in this, even after knowing that the truth could change their lives, and thanks her. He apologises, and Geetanjali reassures him that no matter what comes, they'll face it together.

Meanwhile, Krish makes plans to meet a girl. Kiara overhears him talking to someone and assumes he's hiding something. Concerned for Tanya, Kiara decides to investigate and collect proof against Krish before confronting Tanya.

Armaan finally makes up his mind to come clean with Abhira. But before he can do that, Kaveri cleverly diverts both of them. Armaan confronts Kaveri, asking why she's always stopping him from speaking to Abhira. Kaveri reminds him that he had stayed distant all this time and warns that if Abhira finds out the truth about Maira, it may stop her from ever moving forward. She silently vows to keep the truth about Pookie hidden from Abhira forever.

Elsewhere, Tanya grows increasingly worried about Anshuman. When she questions his concern for Abhira, Anshuman confesses that he's in love with her. Tanya feels hurt but also sees the depth of his feelings.

Kaveri then corners Vidya and accuses her of using her poor eyesight as an excuse to keep Armaan around. Vidya firmly responds that Armaan and Abhira belong together. But Kaveri argues that Abhira is only sticking around because of Vidya and urges her to consider a future where Armaan is with Geetanjali instead.

Meanwhile, Geetanjali has a change of heart. She realises she can't bear the thought of sharing Pookie's affection with Abhira. Feeling conflicted, she decides to stop Armaan from revealing anything. She gets inside Kiara's car, pleading to be dropped off at a location urgently.

Elsewhere, Armaan expresses his regret to Abhira, apologising for all the pain he caused.

Both Armaan and Abhira get overwhelmed with emotion as the weight of their past finally catches up with them. Armaan sincerely apologises for his mistakes, admitting how wrong he was to be overly possessive and for keeping Pookie away from her. He confesses that if Abhira had done the same, he wouldn't have been able to handle it either.

Tears stream down as they both acknowledge each other's pain and the choices that led them here. In a heartfelt moment, Abhira comforts him, saying they'll face everything together and find their daughter as a team.

With Abhira’s support giving him strength, and their hands clasped together, Armaan finally prepares to reveal the truth. He tells her there's something very important she needs to know. Sensing the gravity of the moment, Abhira asks if it's about Maira and Geetanjali. Armaan takes a deep breath, ready to finally tell her the truth about Maira.

Just as he gathers the courage to speak, Geetanjali suddenly steps in and calls his name, signaling him not to say anything. She rushes to him, pulls his hand away from Abhira, and tells Abhira she needs to talk to him in private. Armaan, caught off guard, pleads with her to wait, explaining that he needs to speak with Abhira first.

Watching the tense exchange, a heartbroken Abhira is left stunned. Holding back her emotions, she quietly says she has some work to finish and walks away. Once outside, she closes the main door and breaks down in tears, unable to bear the pain.
