Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Yuvraj points a gun at Akshara, Akshara protects at Abhira

The episode commences with Armaan (Shehzada Dhami) and Kiara engaging in a conversation with Manisha. Manisha expresses her willingness to support Kiara in studies but emphasizes that dancing is out of the question due to Mummy Sa's disapproval. She states that Kiara doesn't need a career and points out the challenges Armaan faces for supporting her. Despite this, Armaan remains undeterred. Manisha, teasingly, suggests that if Armaan is willing to face scolding, he should go ahead. Armaan assures Kiara that he will talk to Dadi about her passion for dance.

Meanwhile, Dadi instructs Vidya to prepare for Diwali, and Madhav presents some papers to her. Dadi expresses disappointment with Madhav's predictable gift of a diary and suggests changing the gift this year. Sanjay intervenes, offering an antique binoculars as a special gift. Madhav declines the expensive gift, citing his commitment to sincerity and his reluctance to accept it as a bribe. Dadi reacts strongly, and Kiara warns Armaan that Dadi is in a bad mood. Sanjay brushes off the situation, emphasizing the banter between them, and Madhav and Sanjay exchange words about their respective work. Armaan observes the unfolding events, and Dadi expresses contentment that her son-in-law is continuing the family traditions.

Elsewhere, Jagrat expresses anger at Yuvraj's misbehavior with Akshara's daughter and promises to intervene. Akshara requests Jagrat to keep Yuvraj away from her daughter, and Jagrat assures that Yuvraj won't trouble her daughter from the next day. Abhira engages in a conversation about marriage with a couple and expresses her reluctance to marry someone like Armaan. The couple hints at Abhira's chemistry with a certain intense-looking guy, and Abhira denies any interest in Armaan. Akshu reassures Abhira that the guy won't trouble her anymore.

Yuvraj receives a scolding from Jagrat, who decides to keep Yuvraj at home for two days until the elections are over. Manoj and Armaan discuss a legal case, and Armaan provides insights, finding a loophole in the case. Manoj appreciates Armaan's contribution and considers him his Guru. Armaan requests a badminton match as his Guru Dakshina, and Manoj agrees. Later, Armaan realizes he forgot to call Ruhi and discovers his wallet has been stolen. He chases the thief, only to find out that the thief is Rohit, who surprises Armaan.

Rohit joins Armaan, and they share a heartwarming reunion. Dadi and Vidya witness their interaction and share an emotional moment with Rohit. Armaan contemplates his feelings for Ruhi but decides not to disturb Rohit and continues to wait.

In a parallel storyline, Akshu encourages Abhira not to be afraid of Yuvraj and to fight back. Akshu and Abhira decide to go to Delhi, with Akshu reminding Abhira to choose between fear and fighting.
