Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira seeks answers about Akshara’s past from Manish

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Abhira attempts to engage in a conversation with Ruhi, but Vidya steps in and urges her to keep her distance. Armaan defends Abhira, asserting that Vidya should not disrespect her. However, Vidya stands firm, siding with Ruhi and Rohit. Madhav steps in, advising Vidya to watch her words, but Vidya makes a bold decision to leave the house, just like Madhav did, for the sake of Rohit and Ruhi. Madhav tries to reason with her while Vidya instructs Rohit to pack their belongings. Kaveri observes Vidya's actions and believes she's crossing boundaries, deciding it's time to confront her.

Vidya resolves to leave:

Meanwhile, Armaan advises Rohit not to make any hasty decisions. However, Rohit is determined to leave the house with Ruhi. Aryan, in an attempt to intervene, asks Rohit not to break the bond with their chorus group. Vidya responds, pointing out that no one is suggesting Armaan and Abhira leave, implying that the family wants to push out Rohit and Ruhi.

Kaveri challenges Vidya, asking how she could tear the family apart without consulting her. Vidya justifies her actions, stating that she's only standing by her family. Kaveri, however, dismisses this, telling her to leave if her loyalty lies elsewhere. Vidya then resolves to leave, but Kaveri sarcastically remarks that it seems everyone wants to go and reclaim the keys from Vidya.

Kaveri reveals her decision:

Abhira pleads with Vidya to reconsider, offering to leave in her place. Armaan quickly decides to join Abhira, but she urges him to stay back with his family. Despite this, Armaan insists that Abhira is his family too, and he chooses to accompany her. In response, Kaveri orders them both to relocate to the outhouse, a decision made for Ruhi's benefit rather than Vidya's. Abhira, however, expresses concern that her presence in the outhouse might stress Ruhi further. Nonetheless, Kaveri stands firm in her decision.

In a separate development, Swarna and Surekha confront Manish for hiding the truth about Abhira. Manish admits his fault. Abhira, determined to find answers, decides to handle things on her own, declining Arman's assistance. At the Goenka residence, Manish makes up his mind to meet Abhira to show his support, though he's worried about Ruhi's reaction to Abhira's return. Upon meeting the Goenkas, Swarna warmly welcomes Abhira.

Meanwhile, Ruhi is deeply troubled by thoughts of Abhira. The Goenka family—Manish, Swarna, and Surekha—talk to Abhira about Akshara. Abhira seizes the moment to question Manish about why Akshara left the house.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Manisha expresses her gratitude to Arman for discussing a separate cell for Manoj with Kaveri. Abhira emerges victorious in her case, leading to Kaveri handing over Manoj's cabin to her. Arman, feeling slighted, mocks Abhira, who, in turn, refuses to deal with his mood swings.
