Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Roop scribbles 'Buddhi' on Kaveri's car in anger

Tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode begins with Armaan searching for photographs with Abhira, lost in memories. Abhira, on the other hand, reflects on her feelings for Armaan and Roop. A dream sequence unfolds, showcasing a romantic moment between Abhira and Armaan. In the dream, Armaan surprises Abhira and asks her to guess what he has brought for her. Assuming it's her favourite food, Abhira feels excited. However, Armaan reveals a nightdress, leaving Abhira shocked. She nervously expresses concern that someone might enter their room, but Armaan assures her that they are alone. Just then, Charu and Kiara interrupt, creating an awkward moment for Abhira and Armaan.

Back in reality, both Abhira and Armaan become emotional as they reminisce about each other. Meanwhile, Manish and Swarna bless Abhira for her new job, praising her determination. Swarna lovingly remarks that Abhira inspires them every day, while Abhira credits her strength to Manish and Swarna's support. Manish advises her to work under Roop, but Abhira clarifies that Roop is not her boss and shifts the conversation to Abhir's recovery, mentioning his plaster will be removed soon. Manish encourages Abhira to stay focused on her work.

Elsewhere, Krish takes over the driving for Kaveri, following the doctor's advice for her to avoid driving. Kaveri reminds Krish to drive carefully. On the way, Roop gets splashed with mud from Kaveri's car and begins chasing them in frustration. Kaveri notices Roop's anger and instructs Krish to drive faster.

Abhira, trying to find an auto, unexpectedly runs into Armaan. Both are stuck in the situation, and Abhira offers to assist him. Armaan, in turn, decides to give her a ride. Abhira discovers that the road ahead is unsafe and reluctantly agrees to accept Armaan's help.

Meanwhile, Roop, still angry about the mud splashing incident, vents his frustration by scribbling "buddhi" on Kaveri's car. Upset, Kaveri tells Krish to identify the boy responsible. She later instructs Sanjay to gather more details. While this unfolds, Krish, Rohit, and Aryan mock Kaveri's anger, leaving the Poddar family amused. Manisha, however, feels Abhira's absence and voices her longing. Kaveri, annoyed by Manisha's sentiment, loses her temper.

Later, Armaan drops Abhira at a temple but grows curious about her urgency to meet someone. Though tempted to follow her, he reminds himself that he has no right to interfere in her life after leaving her. Deciding to back off, Armaan steps away.

At the temple, Abhira learns that securing a job without a proper license is impossible, leaving her anxious. Manisha arrives and reassures her, expressing how much he misses her presence. Abhira reciprocates the sentiment and confides in him. Manisha, however, blames Armaan for the turmoil in their lives. Abhira shares her concerns about Vidya's well-being and firmly resolves never to re-enter Armaan's life.
