Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Maira plans Armaan & Geetanjali’s engagement; Abhira prepares for Mount Abu

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Maira pleads with Armaan to at least disclose the name of her mother. Standing beside her, Abhira urges Armaan to stop hiding the truth and open up to Maira. However, Armaan loses his cool and firmly refuses to share the information. Shocked by his outburst, Maira questions whether he just yelled at her. When Armaan tries to pacify her, she walks away, unwilling to stay near him any longer.

Armaan later imagines Abhira confronting him, asking how it feels to watch a daughter being kept away from the ones she loves. She warns him that the truth will eventually come out, no matter how hard he tries to suppress it. This thought leaves Armaan deeply agitated.

Meanwhile, Kaveri and Vidya question Abhira about the money situation. Abhira assures them that the bank is trying to resolve things. Kaveri then candidly asks if Abhira feels trapped with them and advises her to spread her wings and find her own path. Abhira, however, requests them to stop speaking negatively and insists she's not giving up. Kaveri, still doubtful, questions if Abhira is holding on to hope about Armaan. She bluntly tells her to let go, as he isn't coming back. Determined, Abhira makes up her mind to earn independently.

On the other side, Dadu confronts Geetanjali and wonders why she's sacrificing her own happiness for him. Geetanjali, however, says she is content. Dadu tries to encourage her to think about her own life and even hints at Armaan, asking if she has feelings for him. Geetanjali avoids giving a clear answer. Unknown to them, Maira overhears this emotional exchange.

Later, Armaan reaches out to Maira and apologises for losing his temper. She accepts his apology and suggests he learn how to make healthy ice cream from Geetu. This sparks an idea, and Maira, along with Dadu, begins to plan a surprise engagement for Armaan and Geetu. Maira takes charge of choosing outfits for both.

Back at home, Abhira starts searching for work. Kaveri advises her to move away and start afresh, but Abhira firmly declines, saying she doesn't want to leave Kaveri and Vidya behind. Eventually, Abhira decides to start a small business by selling saris online. When she uploads the listings, both Kaveri and Vidya feel hopeful and excited. As she reflects on her journey, Abhira wishes Pookie was by her side.

Coincidentally, Maira stumbles upon Abhira's online sari post and finds her contact number. She gives her a call to inquire about a particular sari. The moment they speak, Abhira feels an unexplained connection with the caller. Maira confirms the purchase.

As Maira and Dadu continue working on Armaan and Geetu's surprise engagement, Abhira can't help but think about Pookie again. Kaveri then decides to travel with her to Mount Abu. Abhira silently wonders if destiny will lead her to Pookie there.
