Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira stands rock solid with Armaan as he deals with the loss of Rohit

The episode unfolds as Abhira observes everyone in tears. Manish brings Armaan into the scene, and Sanjay, overwhelmed with grief, holds Manoj and expresses the need to prepare for the last rites. Dadi vehemently declares that Rohit's last rites will not take place. Despite Kajal and Manisha urging her to accept the truth, Dadi insists that her heart knows otherwise. Sanjay firmly asserts that Rohit is no more, but Dadi, in a moment of intense emotion, raises her hand and refrains from uttering such words again. She passionately claims that Rohit is alive, unharmed. Surekha tries to reason, emphasizing the importance of considering Ruhi's well-being in the face of Rohit's demise.

In the night, Armaan, deeply affected, dreams of Rohit calling for help as he sinks in water. Abhira witnesses Armaan's distress, recognizing it as sleep paralysis, and helps him break free from the haunting vision. Armaan insists on preparing for Rohit's case, but Abhira encourages him to confront his pain, suggesting that he should allow himself to grieve before finding solace.

The following morning, Vidya busily cooks while others share their concerns for Ruhi. Armaan, grappling with the loss, is comforted by Abhira. Vidya, determined to make food for Rohit, insists on continuing her routine. Armaan, concerned for her, asks Kajal and Manisha to take over the cooking. Vidya, however, stands firm, expressing her unwavering belief in Rohit's return.

As preparations for Rohit's first case unfold, Sanjay and Manoj suggest sending someone else, but Dadi and Abhira encourage Armaan to face his brother's legal proceedings. Abhira, offering a candy since curd is unavailable, supports Armaan through this challenging time.
