Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira nearly accepts Kaveri's terms, Kipling steps in just in time

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Krish, Charu, Aryan, and Kiara come together to offer assistance to Abhira (Samridhii Shukla). They suggest pooling their savings so that she can host her function successfully. Despite their generous offer, Abhira declines, not wanting to accept money from them. However, Krish is persistent, and Abhira, in turn, asks for their moral support instead.

Meanwhile, Manisha and Manoj also approach Abhira, offering their help for the event. Abhira, however, only asks for their blessings. She makes the decision to keep certain truths hidden from Armaan (Rohit Purohit). Kaveri continues pressuring Abhira to sign some papers. Determined, Abhira decides to raise the funds on her own, opting to take on new cases in order to arrange the money. Kaveri, convinced that Abhira has no other choice, believes she will inevitably sign the contract.

Abhira contemplates accepting money:

As Armaan discovers that Abhira has gone to court, he's puzzled, especially since the function is on the same day. Given how enthusiastic she had been about the event, Armaan wonders why Abhira would be at court instead. On the other hand, Abhira is trying to secure the money she needs. Kaveri orders Gupta to hold off on approving any loans without her consent.

Abhira then receives an offer of 10 lakhs to deliberately lose Saxena's case, but she firmly declines, unwilling to compromise her principles. Kaveri pushes her to sign the contract, arguing it would preserve her parents' honour, but Abhira remains defiant, rejecting Kaveri's assistance. Kaveri grows impatient, warning Abhira against wasting more time. With the pressure mounting, Abhira contemplates accepting the 10 lakhs, despite her usual unwillingness to betray her values. Thoughts of Armaan and Akshara cross her mind, and ultimately, she chooses not to compromise her ethics.

Abhira arrives with a band:

Kaveri, aware of Abhira's emotional state, approaches her with the contract papers. Meanwhile, Armaan becomes concerned when Abhira doesn't answer his calls. Kaveri once again urges Abhira to sign the contract for the sake of her parents' reputation, and Abhira, overwhelmed, is on the verge of agreeing. Kaveri assures her that if she signs the papers, she will provide the necessary assistance.

At that moment, Abhira gets an emotional call from Kipling uncle. Kaveri notices her tears and questions why she's upset, eventually deciding to send Armaan to check on her. However, Kaveri warns Abhira to keep their arrangement secret from Armaan. As Armaan waits anxiously for Abhira, Kaveri informs him that she is sobbing. Soon after, Abhira arrives at the Poddar house, accompanied by a band.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Manisha discovers Abhira's true identity—that she is the daughter of Akshara and Abhinav. He is stunned by this revelation.
