Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Is Abhir the hooded man behind the 'Gold Drift Beats' concert?

Star Plus' longest-running show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai continues to top the TRP charts, keeping viewers hooked with its gripping drama and emotional twists, especially after the five-month leap. The focus now shifts to Abhira (Samridhhi Shukla), who remains unaware of the heartbreaking truth about her baby. Meanwhile, Ruhi's (Garvita Sadhwani) unexpected recovery from her coma shocks everyone, leaving Rohit (Romiit Raj) and Armaan (Rohit Purohit) in a state of disbelief.

Adding to the suspense, the much-anticipated return of Abhir (Mohit Parmar), the son of Akshara and Abhimanyu, marks a major turning point in the storyline. Previously thought to have died in an accident alongside Abhimanyu, Abhir's survival is revealed in a dramatic twist. Not only does his return shake the family, but his growing hostility towards the Goenkas also raises new concerns.

However, there are strong hints that Abhir might be the mysterious hooded figure from the Gold Drift Beats concert poster mentioned in tonight's episode. In the latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Kiara gets excited when Krish mentions the upcoming event, especially since the concert is taking place in Udaipur, and the team is in town. Meanwhile, Abhir also makes his entrance around the same time. If you pay close attention to the encounter between Abhir and Abhira inside his jeep, you can spot a musical instrument, a guitar, which clearly hints at Abhir's interest in music.

As for Kiara, Charu, and Krish, they receive a note hinting at significant changes coming into their lives. After reading the note, Kiara predicts that the hooded man in the poster will definitely bring joy. One thing is for sure: Kiara seems obsessed with the hooded man, which opens up the possibility of a romantic angle between her and Abhir. Whether this love story will blossom remains to be seen, but the concert will be the place where Kiara meets Abhir.
