After a gap of seven years, emotions run high and tensions flare in the latest track of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. The episode marks a powerful turning point in Armaan journey as he finally confronts the truth he’s been avoiding—Abhira still matters to him.
Right at the start, Armaan learns that Krish is about to hit Kiara. Without wasting a moment, Armaan arrives and puts an immediate stop to it. He boldly declares, “The elder son of this house has returned.” What follows is a cascade of drama—He slaps Krish multiple times and confronts him for trying to harm his younger sister and insult his beloved Abhira.
Then, Armaan doesn’t stop there. He turns on Fufasa too, refusing to back down. The tension escalates, but he makes it clear he won’t allow injustice in his family.
Next, Armaan heads to Abhira’s house. As fate would have it, her dupatta flies directly onto his face. Yet, instead of a warm welcome, Abhira shuts the door on him. Soon, the family notices Armaan’s presence. Daadisa tells him to leave, showing no sympathy. Meanwhile, Vidya, who is nearly blind, emotionally rushes towards her son. She wants to see him one last time. Despite Daadisa’s resistance, Abhira gently insists she won’t keep a mother away from her son.
Moved, Armaan falls to Vidya’s feet, begging for forgiveness. They share a tearful reunion, but Daadisa and Abhira remain unmoved. There’s no sign of reconciliation from their side. After this moment, Armaan respectfully touches the feet of his other elders—Bua, Chacha, and Chachi. They bless him and quietly walk away. Armaan stands alone, longing for even a glance from Daadisa or Abhira. However, neither looks back. Abhira, overwhelmed, runs to her room. Clearly, she wants no further ties with Armaan.
Armaan has entrusted Maira to Geetanjali. When he heard about Vidya’s deteriorating condition, he prioritized his family. However, he is unable to tell everyone the full truth about Maira and why she is with him. Consequently, Armaan breaks down emotionally. He hands over Maira ’s responsibility to Geetanjali in a powerful scene. Ironically, seven years ago, he couldn’t trust Abhira, her biological mother, with that same responsibility.
Armaan’s return stirs buried emotions, unresolved grief, and lingering regrets. Whether he will succeed in fixing this tangled web remains to be seen. But one thing is clear—this storm has only just begun.
