Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Manoj reflects on disclosing Armaan's innocence to the Poddar family

Tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode opens with Abhir carrying an unconscious Abhira as the family departs. Armaan pleads to stay near Abhira, but Swarna firmly refuses as they take her away. Left behind, Armaan becomes determined to reach out to Abhira but faces resistance from Kaveri, who slaps him in anger. She confronts him for destroying Abhira's life, accusing him of deceit and ruining relationships. Kaveri reminds him that the truth about Daksh is now out and holds him accountable for playing with the emotions of both Abhira and Ruhi. Armaan listens silently, enduring her scolding.

At the same time, the pandit announces the completion of the pooja, and Ruhi embraces Daksh. Meanwhile, Armaan breaks down, revealing to Vidya that he and Abhira lost their baby. Vidya attempts to console him, but their conversation is interrupted by Ruhi and Rohit, who arrive with Daksh. Ruhi confronts Vidya, questioning why she still supports Armaan despite his actions. Vidya defends herself, acknowledging Armaan's mistakes while emphasising that he is paying the price for his mistake.

Ruhi, still emotional, expresses her pain in thinking of losing her baby and blames Armaan for her suffering. Vidya tries to reason with her, urging her to focus on her child rather than interfering in others' lives. She assures Ruhi that she will take responsibility for supporting Armaan and encourages him to meet Abhira, as she believes Abhira needs him. Armaan agrees, and Rohit offers to accompany him.

As Armaan prepares to leave, Rohit stops him, insisting it's time to reveal the truth about Daksh to the family. He explains that keeping it a secret any longer would only make things worse. He urges him to reveal the whole truth that he was the one who gave him the baby. Armaan disagrees, stating he doesn't want Daksh to feel insecure about his identity as he grows up or create hatred between Ruhi and Rohit. Rohit questions whether Abhira will ever forgive him, but Armaan remains focused, saying he cannot think about that now. He drives off, unaware that Manoj has overheard their conversation.

At the Goenka household, Abhir discusses his concerns with the family, expressing his need to know whether Abhira is aware of the truth. The family advises him to hear Abhira's perspective before deciding on his next steps.

Conflicted by what he overheard, Manoj debates revealing Armaan's innocence. Meanwhile, at the Poddar residence, Ruhi struggles to calm a crying Daksh. Vidya recalls how Abhira used to soothe the baby, but Ruhi angrily asks her not to mention Abhira's name. Despite her efforts, Ruhi is unable to pacify Daksh, and Rohit comments that the child needs Abhira.

In her sleep, Abhira murmurs about the baby needing her, while Swarna informs Manish of Armaan's arrival. However, Manish refuses to let Armaan meet Abhira. Desperate, Armaan knocks on the door, pleading for a chance to see her.

Ruhi, still bitter, refuses to take Daksh to Abhira and speaks harshly to Rohit. Witnessing this, Manoj reconsiders his decision to reveal the truth. The family suggests Ruhi hasn't bonded with Daksh yet and urges her to take the baby to Abhira, but she refuses, feeling unsupported. Vidya steps in, assuring Ruhi of her support, but Ruhi manipulates her into promising that Abhira will never come near Daksh. Hesitantly, Vidya agrees, leaving the family shocked.

Kaveri criticises Vidya's decision, accusing her of being unfair to Abhira. Vidya tries to justify herself, but Rohit intervenes by taking Daksh to another room. Kaveri admonishes Vidya for punishing Abhira, while Ruhi defends her actions, questioning why her pain is overlooked. Kaveri sternly warns Ruhi to stop blaming Abhira for everything, predicting that one day she will have no choice but to take Daksh to Abhira when the truth is revealed. She advises Ruhi to hope it won't be too late when that moment arrives.
