Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Krish's first meeting with his date takes an unexpected turn

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Abhira is filled with regret over not being able to properly care for the baby as she struggles with changing baby clothes. She begins to doubt her future as a mother, fearing she may not be able to live up to the expectations. Kaveri and Manisha reassure her, stating that a mother can never be considered bad.

Manisha emphasises the importance of recognising that as time passes, a child grows, and a mother must adapt, offering both respect and love. She adds that not everyone will understand this change, but it is essential. Abhira expresses her gratitude to Manisha for being a pillar of support.

Meanwhile, Krish discovers that his girlfriend is in Udaipur, and his excitement grows at the thought of meeting her. However, Charu cautions Krish, advising him to focus on his career. She points out that Sanjay will never understand the nature of love. Krish, frustrated, asks Charu to stop acting like his mother. Charu warns him again, but Krish chooses to ignore her advice.

Armaan bursts out in anger:

The Chorus gang attempts to distract Rohit, but Armaan becomes furious with them for trying to manipulate the situation. He vents, explaining that no one can truly understand the pain of a father who has lost a child. Armaan reflects on how many people claim they can empathise, but in reality, very few know how to cope with such a loss. The Poddars are left speechless. Rohit stands by Armaan, explaining that his intention was only to offer support. Madhav, feeling guilty, regrets not understanding Rohit's emotional turmoil.

Later, Armaan meets with Dev, who seeks advice about his brother's romantic relationship with someone from a rival family. Armaan encourages Dev to be supportive of his brother. Meanwhile, Dev promotes the Deewaniyat show.

Armaan refuses to hold the baby:

Krish eagerly anticipates meeting his date, but when he bumps into a girl, he angrily blames her for ruining his clothes. He soon realises, to his surprise, that she is the very girl he had been looking forward to meeting.

Feeling guilty for his rude behaviour, Krish regrets how he treated Mountain Mouse. The girl also feels bad for having reached out to him. Meanwhile, the hotel staff asks Krish to return a credit card that had been misplaced to her.

Abhira urges Armaan to hold the baby, but he refuses, leaving her confused. She confronts him, asking why he is avoiding the baby. Armaan is caught off guard and refuses to respond to her questions. At the same time, Ruhi's nurse is frantically searching for the baby. Swarna questions the nurse, clearly frustrated by her lack of knowledge. Rohit tries to divert the conversation, recognising Abhira's nurse and distracting them. Armaan, growing more agitated, is once again pressured by Rohit, who urges him to accept the baby. Madhav, Manish, and Manoj suggest to Abhira that she should give Armaan some time to adjust to the change. Abhira agrees, deciding to allow Armaan the space he needs.

Later that night, Armaan is filled with anxiety as he nervously considers sharing the bed with the baby. He worries that he might unintentionally hurt the little one while trying to adjust his sleeping position. Just then, Abhira wakes up and notices his distress. Gently reassuring him, she tells him that it's just a fear and that he won't hurt the baby. She takes his hand and places it gently on the baby, explaining that this way, he'll always know where the baby is. With the light off, she softly places her hand over his, offering him comfort, and they both drift off to sleep.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Ruhi regains consciousness and immediately searches for her baby. She takes the child from Abhira, leaving her stunned.
