Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira dons Akshara's lehenga while Ruhi wears Arohi's

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Sanjay confronts Armaan, questioning him about the possibility of Abhira not showing up at the wedding venue. He reminds Armaan that Abhira also skipped the haldi ceremony. However, Armaan confidently assures Sanjay that Abhira will arrive because of their love. Sanjay dismisses Armaan's optimism, telling him to face reality, but Armaan remains hopeful, saying she will even arrive ahead of schedule. He then asks the chorus gang to assist him in getting ready, and both Manisha and Manoj step up to support him, while Ruhi, Kaveri, and Vidya appear disheartened.

Meanwhile, Manish tells Abhira that he feels as though he's lost his children. He explains how Swarna kept certain things hidden to protect Kartik's feelings. Manish reflects on his deep love for Swarna and accuses Abhira of coming up with excuses. He urges her to think about Armaan, who is willing to fight for their love. Despite this, Abhira seems hesitant about marrying Armaan. Manish presses her to consider Armaan's sincerity, telling her that his love is genuine and encouraging her to make a decision.

Manish gifts Akshara's lehenga to Abhira:

Elsewhere, Vidya tries to influence Abhira to step away from the marriage. She tells her that if her love for Armaan is real, she shouldn't go through with the wedding. This leaves Abhira stunned. At the same time, Charu and Kiara help Armaan prepare, complimenting him on how handsome he will look as a groom. Armaan feels fortunate because of Abhira's love. Krish advises Armaan to continue speaking sweetly about his love, while Aryan raises concerns about the Poddar family possibly not attending the wedding. Rohit reassures him that everyone will show up for Armaan. 

Meanwhile, Ruhi is feeling dejected as she notices her ring with Armaan. Manish continues urging Abhira to make up her mind and presents her with Akshara's lehenga as a gift that he promised to give her. Conflicted, Abhira hesitates. Manish encourages her to stop overthinking and get ready for the wedding. Swarna informs Ruhi about the lehenga being gifted to Abhira by Manish. This makes Ruhi believe that the wedding is definitely happening.

Ruhi decides on wearing Arohi's lehanga:

As Abhira reflects on her relationship with Armaan, she realises the depth of her feelings for him and finally decides to go ahead with the marriage. She begins preparing for the big day, while Ruhi recalls how Manish had gifted the same lehenga to Arohi in the past. Ruhi, too, dresses as a bride. On the other hand, Armaan eagerly awaits Abhira's arrival, but she ultimately decides to delay reaching the venue.

Manish expresses his happiness to Swarna over Abhira's decision to marry Armaan, though Swarna remains concerned about Ruhi. Meanwhile, Manisha, Aryan, and Krish playfully tease Sanjay. As Manish gazes at Abhira, memories of Akshara come flooding back. Meanwhile, Ruhi makes up her mind to marry Armaan, leaving him disheartened by Vidya's decision to stay away from the wedding. Despite Kajal urging Vidya to complete a ritual for Armaan, she continues to distance herself, upsetting him.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Armaan questions Ruhi about why she summoned him to the temple. Sanjay then announces that Armaan is missing from his own wedding, suggesting that he no longer wishes to marry Abhira. The final scene shows Abhira anxiously awaiting Armaan's arrival.
