Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira refuses to come for the muh dikhai, Armaan requests her

The episode commences with Armaan earnestly requesting Dadi to grant Abhira a chance. He emphasizes that Abhira is not a mistake but a responsibility. Sanjay interjects, accusing Armaan of being a means for Abhira to amass wealth rapidly. He urges the cancellation of the marriage, warning that it could ruin their lives and family respect. Armaan, pleading for Abhira's inclusion in the family, is overheard by Madhav, who admires his son's courage in standing up for his wife.

Simultaneously, Sanjay and others receive messages on their phones, and Sanjay shows a video to Dadi, revealing the news of Armaan's marriage. Meanwhile, Manisha congratulates Dadi on the positive media coverage, but Dadi remains silent. Vidya suggests proceeding with Abhira's "Mu dikhai" ceremony, angering Dadi, who taunts Armaan before leaving.

While Abhira studies, Armaan attempts to comfort her by preparing noodles. Despite her initial refusal, she eventually opens up, expressing her longing for Mussoorie, her home, and her mother. Armaan recalls the taste from her resort, and as a gesture of kindness, he shares the noodles with her. In a candid conversation, Armaan reveals the contractual nature of their one-year marriage, emphasizing it as a responsibility rather than love. Ruhi, overhearing their conversation, confronts Armaan, who seeks her help in keeping their marriage truth a secret.

Abhira, unaware of the discussion, observes Manisha and Manoj at the door, prompting suspicions. Later, Vidya insists on preparing for the "Mu dikhai" ceremony, but Abhira refuses to participate, citing concerns about Dadi's taunts. Armaan persuades her to come for a short while, but she adamantly refuses. The episode ends with Dadi's anticipation of Ruhi's arrival with a ghunghat covering her face, setting the stage for the upcoming ceremony.

PRECAP: 

Abhira and Ruhi engage in a dance, during which Abhira's saree accidentally falls off, leading to a tense moment with Dadi's disapproval.
