Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Ruhi leaves the Poddar house after Armaan reprimands her

The episode commences with a heated exchange between Abhira and Armaan. Armaan reassures her, emphasizing the importance of their friendship. Abhira, however, remains distrustful, echoing Ruhi's earlier sentiments about the lack of a true familial atmosphere in their home. As tensions rise, Armaan attempts to physically stop Abhira, but she pulls away, leaving Armaan unsteady on his feet.

Ruhi intervenes, preventing Armaan from falling and admonishing both him and Abhira for their immature behavior. Armaan, feeling betrayed, blames Ruhi for the entire situation, expressing regret over confiding in her about their marriage. Abhira, emotionally distraught, retreats from the scene and confides in Akshu.

Later, Armaan confronts Abhira, acknowledging his mistake and pleading for communication. Despite the emotional turmoil, they eventually fall asleep. Meanwhile, Ruhi, witnessing the scene, feels a sense of separation and decides to leave for the well-being of Manish, citing his health as the reason.

The next morning, Abhira prepares breakfast, and Ruhi announces her departure. The family speculates whether Ruhi is leaving due to her conflict with Abhira. Ruhi, however, clarifies that she is leaving for Manish, not because of the discord with Abhira. The departure is marked by emotional moments, with Ruhi stumbling and Abhira and Armaan rushing to her aid.

Amidst all this, Manish continues to hope for Abhir's return, and Abhira, though still upset, engages in banter with Armaan. The family discusses the situation, unaware that Armaan and Ruhi's argument led to her departure. Dadi questions Armaan, leading to a revelation about the rift between Ruhi and him.

The precap hints at the escalating tension as Dadi imposes restrictions on Armaan until Ruhi returns, leading to further arguments between Abhira and Armaan.
