Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhimanyu resigns from the Birla hospital, Manjiri disappears

The episode of the show tonight commences with Akshu wearing a smile as she gazes at everyone. Her melodious singing continues while Manjiri slowly opens her eyes. A sense of relief washes over everyone as they spot Manjiri regaining consciousness, and gratitude fills the room. Concerned about Abhi's well-being, Manjiri inquires about him, to which Akshu assures her that he is indeed fine. Abhi, overwhelmed with emotion, sheds tears. They all proceed indoors, but a nurse intervenes, stating that too many people can't enter.

Mahima embraces Manjiri and playfully scolds her for causing such a scare. Abhi, still affected by the recent events, steps outside. Akshu follows him and encourages him to reunite with his mother. She emphasizes that Manjiri is yearning to see him and that a brief meeting would ease her worries. Abhi, however, feels remorseful for not responding to his mother's calls, acknowledging her exceptional love. He believes he doesn't deserve her affection and insists on distancing himself from her. Akshu counters, emphasizing the importance of their bond.

Back at home, Manish offers some understanding, explaining that Abhi's feelings are natural. Akshu reinforces the notion that Manjiri needs her son, but Surekha expresses frustration at the burden placed on Akshu. She points out that Manjiri and Abhi had abandoned Akshu during her dire situation, only returning when they learned about Abhir. Akshu, however, refuses to wish ill upon her enemies and reminds them of Abhi's role in saving Abhir's life and giving her custody.

Manjiri inquires about Abhi's whereabouts, expressing concern for his well-being and wondering why he hasn't visited her yet. Mahima provides an explanation, and Aarohi and Shefali support the story. Manjiri, however, maintains that she would have known if her son were with her. Abhir and Ruhi suddenly appear, embracing Manjiri and inquiring about her health. She blesses them to ward off any negative energy, smiling in relief.

Meanwhile, Pallavi invites Kairav to join them for lunch, but Muskaan interrupts, introducing herself and offering flowers to Kairav. She hints at the urgency of marriage, but Kairav deflects her advances, regretting a previous mistake and advising her against it.

In a separate scene, Akshu initiates a video call between Abhi and Abhir, encouraging Abhi to visit Manjiri to aid in her recovery. Abhir points out the significance of being there for their loved ones and extending a helping hand. Akshu reminds Abhi that they should not let their inner struggles isolate them and extends an offer of friendship. Abhi, touched by her words, takes her hand, signifying his willingness to reconcile.

In a twist, Muskaan observes Akshu and Abhi shaking hands. Meanwhile, Manjiri, determined to prepare food, faces her fear of fire. Shefali and Mahima try to console her, while Abhi watches with concern. Manjiri ultimately faints, prompting a swift response from those around her.

As tensions rise, Mahima questions the seriousness of the situation.

Precap: Abhi drops a bombshell: he's resigning. Akshu intervenes, emphasizing his identity as a doctor and the trust placed in him, vowing not to let him leave. In the midst of this turmoil, Shefali contacts Abhi with alarming news: Manjiri has disappeared.
