YRKKH : Abhir expresses his wish to return to Akshara & Abhinav; Abhimanyu breaks down

The episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai tonight starts with Abhi expressing concern about the cold air and the possibility of falling sick. Abhir, in his prayer to Lord Shiva, writes "Help Abhir" on a football and kicks it, but he ends up hurting himself. The football hits a car, and Akshu, who sees the message on the ball, realizes it's Abhir's way of leaving clues. They find Abhir and embrace him, revealing that the entire drama was a ruse to convince him to go to Dadda's house.

Upon reuniting with his family, Abhir apologizes for running away and injuring himself. Abhi reassures him that his parents love him deeply and lied only to ensure he went to Dadda's house. As they return home, they are involved in a car accident, but Abhir calls his father, and they all safely reach home. The family joyously welcomes Abhir back, and he forgives everyone, especially his Dida.

Later, Akshu finds Manjiri crying and confronts her about hiding from Abhir. Abhir's return brings happiness to the entire family, and Manjiri promises to make his favorite kachoris and halwa. Akshu is grateful to Kanha for their reunion.

While eating together, Akshu realizes her mangalsutra is missing and wears it again, prompting Abhinav to arrive with much excitement. He promises never to let them go and even jokes about fitting a GPS on Abhir. The family plans a celebration, and Abhir's wish during the birthday cake ritual is to stay with his parents in the Kasauli house. He expresses his love for Dadda but insists on being with his mom and dad, hoping that Dadda will fulfill his wish.

Precap: Abhir’s wish breaks Abhimanyu down. Akshara goes behind him.
