Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Kaveri and Vidya clash over Abhira's future with Anshuman vs Armaan

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Anshuman extends an apology to Abhira for his behaviour, but she sternly tells him that his apology is indeed necessary. He expresses his emotions and attempts to hold her hand and lean in for a kiss, but Abhira immediately pushes him back, making her boundaries clear. Elsewhere, Geetanjali curiously asks Armaan for feedback on her dance performance. Maira, observing her steps, suggests that Geetanjali should continue practising to refine her routine.

Abhira firmly warns Anshuman to remember his limits, making it clear that she is not someone to be taken lightly. He clarifies that he had no intention of hurting her and praises the meal she cooked, adding that it reminded him of the simplicity he missed. Later, when Vidya and Kaveri offer him kulfi, Anshuman politely postpones eating it.

Abhira, however, is upset with Vidya and Kaveri for having invited Anshuman to lunch. She scolds them and urges them to focus on preparing sarees for the upcoming cultural fest rather than wasting time talking about him. Taking responsibility, Abhira sets out to bring the ration needed for the preparations.

Meanwhile, Armaan notices that Geetanjali is straining herself while dancing. Concerned, he tells Maira to let Geetanjali rest and asks her to rehearse solo for the time being.

In another part of the house, Manisha and Kajal notice Tanya spending time with Krish. Seizing the opportunity, they playfully manipulate Tanya by warning her that staying out late could give her dark circles. Taking their advice seriously, Tanya quickly decides to leave. Manisha then quips that before the wedding, Kaveri would've run after Tanya with a stick if she saw her out late with Krish. Maira, full of confidence, declares that she will win the competition, and Armaan reassures her. She also acknowledges Geetanjali's contribution to their performance.

Back at home, Kaveri tells Vidya that she believes Anshuman is a suitable match for Abhira. Vidya reminds her that Abhira is still married to Armaan. Kaveri argues that since Armaan hasn’t contacted Abhira in a long time, divorce is an option provided by the law for such situations. She expresses her fondness for Anshuman and Abhira as a pair. Vidya, however, questions what they would do if Armaan returns. Kaveri says he doesn’t deserve an answer and scolds Vidya for forgetting how Abhira looked after her for seven years. Vidya insists that Abhira’s true happiness lies with Armaan and Pookie, and that’s why she still hopes for their return. Just then, Abhira walks in, and the conversation shifts quickly, with Kaveri and Vidya pretending they were simply discussing buying a microwave.

The following day, as Geetanjali and Maira prepare for their performance, Armaan offers Maira a spoonful of curd and sugar as a token of good luck. Maira asks him to give some to Geetanjali as well, showing her support for her partner.

On the other hand, Abhira visits a government office to sort out an incorrect bill. When the officer dismisses her, she starts recording the interaction on her phone. The officer tries to stop her, but Abhira argues back, defending middle-class citizens who often face such injustices. Eventually, the officer agrees to fix the issue.

Later, Maira and Geetanjali take the stage for their performance. During the act, Maira loses her balance and falls, but Geetanjali smoothly covers up the slip, allowing them to qualify for the finals.

Abhira later discusses the cultural fest with Kaveri and Vidya, hinting that this event could mark a turning point in their lives.

Meanwhile, Armaan finds out that Maira and Geetanjali have made it to the finale, which will be held in Udaipur. However, he refuses to accompany Maira there, leaving her confused and questioning his decision.
