Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Ruhi mocks Abhira for being Armaan's temporary partner

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Madhav inquires of Vidya's unease, noting they've gathered for dinner. Vidya's cryptic response hints at a deeper reason for their presence tonight. Meanwhile, Manish and Swarna share a moment at the same restaurant. Manish questions Swarna's gaze, prompting her to question his motives for bringing her there. Attempting to reconcile, Madhav urges Vidya to start anew, but she firmly declines, refusing to accept his plea. Across the seat, Swarna dismisses Manish's efforts to persuade her regarding Akshara's birthday celebration. As their eyes meet, tensions simmer between Madhav, Vidya, Swarna, and Manish.

Abhira (Samridhii Shukla) implores Armaan (Rohit Purohit) to keep their plans confidential. Meanwhile, Ruhi (Garvita Sadhwani) confronts Armaan, who deceives her with falsehoods. Suspecting that Armaan and Abhira are concealing something, Ruhi's suspicions deepen. Reflecting on their circumstances, both Manish and Madhav exchange thoughts. Vidya expresses to Swarna her belief that it's too late for a fresh beginning with Madhav, while Swarna advises Manish to move on from their lost child. Madhav, motivated by Armaan and Abhira's well-being, seeks reconciliation with Vidya. Encouraged by Manish, Madhav contemplates his own reconciliation. 

In another scene, Abhira tends to a sleeping Kaveri, seeking forgiveness for Armaan, demonstrating her compassion. Meanwhile, back at the restaurant, Manish and Swarna, along with Madhav and Vidya, emerge in a couple dance. Later at home, Abhira prepares for the inauguration ceremony while Ruhi accuses her of misleading Armaan. Abhira tells Ruhi to stay out of their business, leading to a heated argument between them. Ruhi mocks Abhira for being Armaan's temporary partner, but Abhira asserts that despite the circumstances, she'll still be considered Armaan's wife. While sleeping, Ruhi imagines a scenario where Abhira and Armaan grow closer, sparking her concern for Armaan's well-being.

Kaveri orders Abhira to stay:

Armaan and Abhira engage in a heated argument while Abhira receives a call as she requests leave for personal matters. Armaan questions Abhira about her leave, unaware that she's concealing Akshara's birthday. Ruhi insists that Manish goes to the hospital, expressing concern. Swarna assures Ruhi that she will personally take Manish there. Swarna then advises Manish to refrain from searching for Akshara's daughter, suggesting a looming conflict between Abhira's daughter and Ruhi's interests.

Meanwhile, at the Poddar Mansion, Kaveri inquires about the preparations for the inauguration. Upon seeing Abhira also preparing to join them, Ruhi intentionally questions her inclusion, citing Krish's need for company at home. Despite Armaan's attempt to intervene, Kaveri steps in and prevents Abhira from joining the outing, instructing her to stay with Krish. Undeterred by Kaveri's objections, Abhira resolves to proceed with her plan despite the restrictions placed upon her.

Precap for the next episode:

In the upcoming episode, Abhira discovers someone else is aware of Akshara's existence, sparking her determination to uncover the truth.
