Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhir confronts Manish, accusing him of ruining lives

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Abhira feels anxious about BSP's (baby) reaction during his vaccination. Armaan suggests he will go to the hospital alone while Abhira stays back. However, Abhira decides to accompany BSP, and the Poddars, including Manish, Swarna, and Surekha, decide to join them at the hospital for support. The doctor, surprised by the large family presence for a baby's vaccination, inquires about it, and Kaveri responds that BSP doesn't cry, so they all came to encourage him.

Meanwhile, Ruhi and Manisha are left behind at home. Ruhi vents her frustration, feeling ignored by the Poddars, and believes no one cares about their pain. At the hospital, Abhira tries to distract BSP, and the doctor praises BSP for being the only baby who doesn't cry. Armaan, impressed, praises Abhira's parenting skills, while the doctor also commends Abhira as a great mother. Abhira feels a sense of relief, hoping no one will put an evil eye on her family.

On their way back home, Abhira finds herself troubled, thinking about how she will manage once she joins the firm and has to leave BSP behind. After all, she's spent every moment with her son. As they drive, the family has a close encounter with Abhir, whose jeep suddenly appears in their path, causing Armaan to slam on the brakes just in time to avoid an accident. The close call ignites Abhira's anger, and she immediately hands over BSP to Swarna, stepping forward to confront Abhir. She accuses him of reckless driving and demands that he get out of the jeep.

Abhir steps out, exuding attitude, and sarcastically tells Abhira to hurry up and speak, as he has no time to waste. He even refers to her as "Miss MCI." Abhira, shocked by the nickname, questions how he dares to call her Megha Chidchidi ensaan, only to realise that they both understand the abbreviation, which seems unusual to her. Both of them are left stunned by the unexpected connection.

As Armaan and Manish intervene to diffuse the tension, Abhir notices Manish and Swarna and recognises his family. In a surprising turn, he suddenly accuses Manish of being responsible for the downfall of many lives. He fires back at Manish, questioning whether he has ever sought forgiveness for his past mistakes, implying that many lives have been ruined because of them. Manish, taken aback and confused, calls Abhir disrespectful, struggling to comprehend the depth of his accusations. Armaan advises Manish to ignore Abhir's words and not engage further in the heated exchange. 

After Abhir leaves, Swarna gently suggests to Abhira that she should ward off any evil eye from BSP. The family agrees to keep the entire incident to themselves and decides not to bring up the encounter to anyone.

Later, Kaveri, aiding Manisha, reflects on her earlier actions and feels guilty for the family turmoil. Manisha, overwhelmed, blames herself for the chaos, while Kaveri resolves to make things right for Manoj and Manisha. Manisha feels heartbroken about Aryan's situation.

Back home, Rohit tries to comfort BSP, but the baby begins crying. Armaan steps in to help. Rohit then suggests organising BSP's naming ceremony to celebrate the moment.

In a different scene, Krish and Charu attempt to cheer up Kiara by taking her to a café. They order her favorite dishes, but she remains unaffected. However, when Krish mentions an upcoming concert by "Gold Drift Beats," Kiara lights up with excitement and starts to feel better. As the three of them enjoy their meal, they receive a note hinting that their lives are about to change. Kiara, intrigued, wonders if the mysterious figure in the hooded poster will play a role in the upcoming changes. She finally begins to enjoy the food.

Later at night, Abhir arrives at Goenka Villa and creates trouble for Manish. Meanwhile, at the Poddar house, Abhira spends time playing with the baby. Kaveri suggests that Abhira pick a name for BSP and wonders if the baby will inherit Abhira's traits. The Poddars settle on a name for BSP, but Abhira proposes a rather unconventional name, and Ruhi, ignoring the baby, causes BSP to cry at the sight of her.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Abhira assists Charu with Sharma's case, but Kaveri expresses her disapproval, urging Abhira to prioritise taking care of BSP instead of working. She forbids Abhira from joining the firm.
