Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Yuvraj shoots Akshara

The episode unfolds with Surekha calling for Ruhi, prompting Armaan and Ruhi to discreetly hide behind curtains. Surekha, curious about Ruhi's whereabouts, leaves the scene. Seizing the moment, Ruhi urges Armaan to gather the courage to reveal their love to Dadisa and everyone. She emphasizes that their love is his right, encouraging him to assert that right. As she takes his hand, they decide to face their families together. Meanwhile, Manish contemplates calling Ruhi, but Dadi reassures him that girls take time with their touch-ups. Suwarna offers prayers for Ruhi's well-being.

In a parallel story, Akshu hands Abhira a book, urging her to promise Saraswati Maa and herself that she will complete her law studies and pursue a legal career. Despite Abhira's initial confusion, Akshu explains the significance of the promise. Armaan, back in his room, is in tears. Ruhi enters, encouraging him to face the truth. Armaan, torn between love and family loyalty, explains that he cannot marry her as his family comes first. Ruhi questions his decision, expressing disbelief that his family wouldn't understand. Armaan, recalling Dadi's words, shares the depth of his love and encourages Ruhi to embrace a future with Rohit.

Vidya interrupts, assuming all is well, and Armaan signals Ruhi to leave. Akshu, faced with hospital papers, reflects on her sacrifices for Abhira's sake.
