Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Kaveri feels Abhira & Anshuman are perfect match, Maira steals a dupatta

The episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai tonight begins with Maira cautiously approaching Arman to ask if he’s still upset with her. Arman, rather than giving a direct answer, responds with a cryptic question about her chances of winning. He then embraces her, leading Maira to believe that their differences have been resolved. Later, Maira is joined by her group of friends, and she respectfully asks Arman for his permission to go along with them. He gives his consent but continues to appear uneasy. Geetanjali notices Arman’s concern and reassures him, while also curiously asking about a missing bag.

Meanwhile, Abhira tries to block out thoughts of Arman and stumbles upon his bag among her belongings. When Geetanjali approaches her and asks for it back, explaining it belongs to someone dear, Abhira questions if she has the right person. Geetanjali responds with warmth, saying she enjoys meeting Abhira regardless. Over at the Poddar household, Tanya stirs the pot. She surprises everyone by refusing homemade meals and declaring her preference for store-bought food, leaving Manisha, Sanjay, Kajal, Manoj, and Kiara visibly shocked. When Manisha advises her against unhealthy eating, Tanya turns defensive, accusing her of making hurtful comments about her body. Manisha is left upset, prompting Kajal and Kiara to step in and offer apologies on her behalf.

Elsewhere, Arman sets out to look for Maira. His voice echoes through a nearby fairground, catching Vidya’s attention. When Kaveri questions her reaction, Vidya sidesteps the issue and is soon given the task of handing out flyers. Arman ends up with one advertising "Kesari Vastralaya." Abhira feels anxious about her market stall and is momentarily distracted when Anshuman arrives with tea, lifting her spirits. They share a light-hearted moment together. In a different part of the fair, Maira realizes she’s lost her dupatta and decides to replace it.

Geetanjali later offers a heartfelt apology to Arman and brings up Maira again in conversation. Meanwhile, Anshuman gently nudges Abhira to open up about someone special, and their bond seems to grow as they laugh together. Kaveri observes this budding closeness and suggests to Vidya that Abhira and Anshuman might make a good pair. Vidya, however, sternly reminds her that Abhira is already married, sparking a disagreement between them.

Back at the market, Maira tries to quietly get a new dupatta but is spotted by Kaveri and Vidya. Trying to play it off, she offers to rent the garment for 20 rupees. Vidya insists on 25. The situation quickly escalates into a chase, resulting in Maira accidentally wrecking the stall.

When Abhira returns, she’s heartbroken to find her stall in chaos. She blames herself for leaving it unattended and is left wondering what unfolded during her absence — especially involving Kaveri and Vidya.
