In the latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, emotions run high as Abhira finds herself caught between past wounds and present confusion. The episode opens with a tender moment—Maira gently applies ointment to Abhira’s injury. However, the calm doesn’t last long. Geetanjali quickly intervenes and takes Maira away, leaving Abhira alone once again.
Soon after, Armaan arrives. He wants to help Abhira, but she questions his intentions. Her words sting—she brings up Puki, saying that if Puki had lived, she would have been just as sweet and adorable as Maira . She praises Maira ’s innocence and charm, unknowingly deepening Armaan’s guilt. He listens silently, overwhelmed by emotion. What Abhira doesn’t know is that Puki and Maira are the same person—his daughter.
As Abhira continues to admire Maira , she imagines Armaan’s life as perfect. She believes he now has the happy little family he always dreamed of. She even assumes that there are no conflicts between him and Geetanjali over Maira ’s upbringing. These assumptions cut deep. Armaan, unable to bear the weight of the truth and his guilt, quietly walks away.
Later, fate brings Abhira and Armaan face-to-face again. Just as they come close, a photographer captures the moment. Abhira is furious. The photographer claims the picture will help her understand how to pose with Anshuman. But Abhira lashes out. She scolds him for clicking her photo with a stranger and snatches the camera. Without hesitation, she removes the memory chip and breaks it, declaring she doesn’t like being photographed with random people.
Armaan follows her, clearly disturbed. Meanwhile, Abhira heads straight to the stage to pose with Anshuman. When Anshuman hesitates to place his hand on her shoulder, Abhira takes control. She grabs his hand and places it on her shoulder—right in front of Armaan. The gesture is deliberate. She wants Armaan to see that she’s moving on.
Anshuman, sensing her inner conflict, gently reminds her that she still has a choice. If she has doubts about the wedding, she can back out. But Abhira insists—she’s happy with the marriage.
This episode highlights the tangled emotions between Abhira and Armaan. While Abhira tries to convince herself she’s content, her actions suggest otherwise. Armaan, on the other hand, is drowning in guilt and secrets. As the wedding approaches, the tension only grows. Will the truth about Maira ’s identity come out? Or will Abhira continue living in the dark?
