Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Rohit falls for Ruhi's lies, blaming Armaan for destroying their date

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Rohit (Romit Raj) confronts Abhira (Samridhii Shukla) about her involvement with Armaan (Rohit Purohit), stating that while she is fine with defending him, she has issues with Rohit standing up for Ruhi (Garvita Sadhwani). Armaan supports Abhira, mentioning that she is only trying to advise Rohit. Rohit retorts that he doesn't need Abhira's advice, accusing her of being biased because she loves Armaan. Armaan tells Rohit to leave Abhira out of their dispute, but Rohit insists she involved herself. This leads to Armaan scolding Rohit, who then shouts at him to lower his voice, reminding him of losing his rights the day when he disrupted the lives of his and Ruhi. Abhira sides with Armaan.

Ruhi devices a plan:

Rohit then goes back to Ruhi. Manish comments that Ruhi has returned because of Armaan, to which Ruhi responds that she can't live without him. Armaan reprimands Abhira for interfering in the matter between Ruhi and Rohit. Abhira defends her actions, saying she can't ignore wrongdoing. This sparks an argument between Armaan and Abhira. Abhira resolves to continue involving herself in family issues, while Armaan decides to avoid further arguments with her.

Rohit states his intention to mend his relationship with Ruhi. In turn, Ruhi wants to make Rohit's days special, and she learns that Armaan has planned a date with Abhira. She devises a scheme to surprise Rohit.

Ruhi takes Rohit on a date:

As Abhira feels hungry, Armaan suggests she prepare for their date, and she decides to opt for a scooter ride. Ruhi deceives Rohit into going on a date. When they arrive, Armaan and Abhira are stunned to see Ruhi and Rohit at the same restaurant. Abhira questions Ruhi's presence there. Ruhi counters Abhira's question, and Armaan chooses to stick with his original plan. Ruhi offers Rohit the option to leave, but he decides to stay and continue their date.

During their date, Abhira and Armaan enjoy themselves, laughing together. Rohit, meanwhile, inquires about Ruhi's table reservation. She explains that her friend canceled, and she took the booking. Rohit asks Ruhi to call her friend to verify the story, causing Ruhi to worry about getting caught in her lie. However, Rohit decides to trust her. The mood shifts as Armaan and Abhira's laughter disrupts Ruhi and Rohit's date, leading Rohit to get angry at Armaan. Determined, Armaan decides to leave with Abhira, asserting that he had booked the table first. As they leave, Ruhi feels triumphant.
