Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira is accused by a judge of bribery

In tonight's episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, the day after arriving at court, Abhira (Samridhii Shukla) considers contacting Madhav out of concern, but understanding the risks involved in his mission, she decides against it to avoid becoming a distraction. While searching for her client, Abhira is shocked to find Sanjay with him. Armaan (Rohit Purohit) is equally surprised by this sight. Sanjay informs Abhira that Armaan had recommended this client. Abhira then tells the client that if he doesn't trust her, he can go to Armaan instead. 

Later, Sanjay and Kaveri discuss how to thwart Abhira, plotting to create trouble for her. Sanjay then gives Abhira a smug smile. Armaan confronts Abhira about potentially quitting the case, but she avoids the topic. Armaan urges her to express her feelings, warning that suppressing them will only cause more pain. Abhira tells Armaan to stay away, accusing him of consistently breaking her heart. She resigns herself to an unhappy fate. Armaan, however, promises to protect her from any harm and vows to create a happy ending for her.

Sanjay frames Abhira:

The client decides to trust Abhira with another chance. Sanjay attempts to sway the client, but the client asks Abhira to retrieve his wife's bicycle, to which she agrees. Armaan warns Sanjay to steer clear of Abhira's career, angering Sanjay. Kaveri instructs Sanjay to keep her informed about Abhira's activities. Meanwhile, the lawyer refuses to take Ruhi's case. Ruhi encounters Kaveri. Ruhi apologizes and informs Kaveri that the Goenkas are at risk of losing their home. Armaan, seeing Abhira's determination in the case, decides to support her discreetly. Kaveri asks Armaan to help Ruhi save her house, and Armaan convinces Ruhi to let him handle her case.

The episode culminates with Abhira being accused by a judge of bribery, leading to her case being withdrawn. She is left in shock while Kaveri and Sanjay relish her predicament. Sanjay expresses concern about Armaan's reaction, and Kaveri urges him to further complicate Abhira's situation. Abhira tries to clear her name with Ram Singh, who accuses her of corruption.
