Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Sanjay and Manish bury differences, start afresh

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Abhira tries to prevent Kaveri from burning Madhav's photograph and confronts her about it. Sensing something amiss, Kaveri wonders whether Abhira has discovered the truth about Shivani. Meanwhile, Abhira starts suspecting that Kaveri is hiding the reality about Armaan's biological mother. Kaveri, however, evades Abhira's questions.

Elsewhere, Sanjay approaches Manish with the hope of starting afresh, and Manish embraces him. As the Poddar family extends a warm welcome to the Goenkas, Ruhi hints that Abhir's upcoming wedding will bring unexpected changes to both families. Amidst the festivities, Armaan searches for Abhira while Roop uncovers Kaveri's deception—she had lied about visiting him with an invitation. Doubt creeps into Roop's mind regarding Kaveri's real intentions, prompting him to look for Abhira.

Meanwhile, Abhir is eager to find Charu, but Manish advises him to be patient. On the other hand, Abhira grows emotional, feeling disheartened over her unsuccessful attempt to uncover the truth about Armaan's mother. Lost in thought, she accidentally bumps into Armaan. Concerned, Armaan asks if she is upset because of him, but Abhira chooses not to confide in him.

At another corner, Vidya questions Madhav about Shivani's lingering presence in his thoughts. Madhav insists that Shivani is no longer alive. However, Vidya presses him further, asking if he would still prioritise Shivani over her. Madhav reassures Vidya, stating that she is his present and future, leaving Vidya overwhelmed with emotion.

Back with Abhira and Armaan, Armaan expresses guilt over hurting her and explains that he had tried to support her, but Roop's interference prevented him. He then assures her that he will no longer stand in the way of her and Roop. This leaves Abhira stunned—she realises that Armaan believes she has accepted Roop's proposal. Upset, she questions how he could assume she has moved on so easily. In a heartfelt moment, both Armaan and Abhira confess that they do not want to be separated.

Just then, Roop informs them that Charu is missing. Shockwaves ripple through both the Poddar and Goenka families upon hearing the news. Abhira reassures Abhir that she will do everything she can to locate Charu. Roop, too, sets out to search for her. Meanwhile, Sanjay inquires whether Abhir had spoken to Charu before she vanished. Abhir reveals that Charu had been anxious about Kiara.

In another development, Shivani decides to leave town but wants to meet Roop and Abhira before departing. Meanwhile, as the news of Charu's disappearance spreads, Abhir concludes that she has betrayed him. He assumes Charu left the venue because she wanted him to marry Kiara. Armaan, however, comes to Charu's defence, insisting that she wouldn't abandon Abhir in such a manner. Despite this, Abhir remains convinced that Charu left him for Kiara. Ruhi attempts to console Abhir, but Abhira advises her to give him some space.
