Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Rohit admits he has feelings for Ruhi

In tonight's episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Manish informs Swarna about his plans for a walk and expresses his hope for brighter days ahead. Vidya arrives at the Goenaks' place and urges Ruhi (Garvita Sadhwani) to reconsider her stance on Rohit (Romit Raj), seeking another chance for him. Swarna sides with Vidya in her plea. Meanwhile, Manish opposes the idea of Ruhi and Rohit's relationship, asserting that it is destined to fail due to Rohit's lack of trust in Ruhi.

Vidya acknowledges Rohit's behaviour but pleads with Manish to give Rohit some time. Manish remains firm in his refusal to accept the relationship and asks Vidya to stop trying to persuade him. Swarna agrees with Vidya's viewpoint. Surekha questions Swarna on how she can send Ruhi to the Poddar household while Armaan (Rohit Purohit) is around.

Rohit denies any feelings for Ruhi:

Swarna defends her decision by stating that Armaan and Abhira (Samridhii Shukla) have moved on. Manish dismisses Swarna's reasoning as nonsensical. Swarna insists that the choice should be Ruhi's. Vidya urges Ruhi to make a decision. Ruhi reveals that she is unhappy with Rohit, leaving Vidya stunned.

Rohit confronts Abhira about her feelings for Armaan, questioning how she can love someone who doesn't consider her first. Abhira explains the difficulty of being someone's second choice and asserts that Rohit loves Ruhi. Rohit initially denies any feelings for Ruhi but later accepts his feelings for Ruhi. Abhira challenges him on what he would do if his love prevailed.

Abhira and Armaan's reconciliation:

Vidya presses Armaan to involve himself in the Rohit-Ruhi issue to prevent Kaveri from blaming Abhira. She implores Armaan to speak with Ruhi, but Armaan is unresponsive to her pleas. Vidya continues to persuade Armaan to assist Rohit and Ruhi, appealing to him for the sake of Kaveri and Abhira.

Later, Ruhi and Rohit accidentally meet at a cafe where Ruhi had come to meet her client to show her jewelry design and Rohit had come to discuss a case. While Ruhi was explaining her designs at the next table, Rohit was lost watching her. After the meeting, Ruhi goes to get a pastry, and Rohit takes it from her and eats it. She takes another pastry, and Rohit again eats it hurriedly. Ruhi tells him to stop as it will affect his health, and Rohit questions why she cares since she has signed for a divorce. Ruhi tells him that this is what he wanted.

Armaan and Abhira reconcile, with Abhira expressing her emotional response to being pressured by Manish to represent Ruhi. They both apologise to each other. Abhira learns that Vidya wants Armaan to intervene with Ruhi and suggests that Armaan should act independently. Armaan confirms that he does not wish to get involved in the Rohit-Ruhi situation.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Ruhi decides to move to the USA, leading Kaveri to blame Abhira for this decision. Both Abhira and Armaan are taken aback by this development.
