Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Tired of Yuvraj's harassment, Abhira slaps him

The episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai tonight unfolds with Vidya and Armaan (Shehzada Dhami) engaging in mutual deception. Armaan, wearing a smile, fabricates an excuse about being there for important work, to which Vidya retorts that he can't even deceive his own mother, and she, in turn, can't lie to him. In a mysterious exchange, they both mention having some undisclosed tasks and promise to reveal details later. As the Goenkas depart, Akshu (Preeti Amin) witnesses their exit, shedding tears. Manish (Sachin Tyagi) leaves a note that intensifies Akshu's emotions. Abhira (Samridhii Shukla), handling new bookings, encounters a bridal dress, sparking curiosity from Kiara and Charu, who inquire if she is getting married. Abhira dismisses the idea, expressing her frustration and storming off, leaving them behind.

Armaan, noticing heart-shaped balloons, discovers a note apologizing for a hasty departure and instructing him to break a heart to learn more about the sender. Bursting the balloons reveals Ruhi's phone number. As Kiara, Charu, Aryan, and Krish tease him, Armaan discreetly conceals the note. Meanwhile, Abhira is on her way, encountering street dancers performing to "Badri ki Dulhania." Witnessing the unveiling of a board reading "Yuvraj weds Abhira," she is shocked, tearing it apart. Yuvraj appears, explaining a misunderstanding and expressing a desire for her input on wedding details. Despite initial resistance, Abhira is eventually adorned in a red chunri, leading to a confrontation where Yuvraj demands a kiss. Abhira slaps him, denouncing his behavior as harassment and vowing to send him to jail. Undeterred, Yuvraj applauds her fiery spirit.

Returning to the resort, Abhira confides in Akshu, who assures her not to worry. Abhira decides to bid farewell to the Poddars and, in a strained encounter with Yuvraj, vows never to see him again. Armaan also reflects on Ruhi and leaves, eager to meet her. In Udaipur, Ruhi awaits his call, and Armaan promises to discuss their relationship with his mother. Abhira, meanwhile, prays and contemplates the impending conversation between her mother and Yuvraj's father.

Precap: Tensions rise as Yuvraj confronts Akshu, leading to a dangerous situation where he brandishes a gun. Simultaneously, Armaan and Dadi engage in a heated argument, with Dadi taunting him about his mother.
