Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan and Abhira's relationship grows increasingly apart after three months

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Rohit affectionately addresses Armaan as his brother, causing Armaan to feel overjoyed. Reflecting on his past behaviour, Rohit expresses remorse for mistreating Armaan and resolves to support him moving forward. He feels grateful to have regained his brother, job, and Ruhi, and embraces Armaan warmly. However, Rohit also regrets not being able to assist Armaan in the past, though Armaan understands his sentiments.

Later, Ruhi inquires why Armaan didn't reveal the truth to Rohit. Armaan responds that Rohit is currently happy and cautions Ruhi against betraying him. Ruhi ponders that Abhira, Armaan, and God may not easily forgive her. She expresses gratitude to God for reuniting Rohit and Armaan.

Manish emcourages Abhira:

Meanwhile, Abhira rummages through her closet when Manish calls to help her resolve her confusion regarding Kaveri's job offer. Abhira admits she feels uncertain about her decision. Manish proposes that Abhira join the firm, as Kaveri has recognised her potential. Grateful for Manish's support, Abhira thanks him while he reflects on Akshara. He encourages Abhira to take the job.

Sanjay, feeling betrayed, questions Kajal about her belief that Kaveri would grant him the job. Sanjay insists he supported the firm, but Kajal reminds him that the firm belongs to Armaan and Rohit, which angers Sanjay. Determined to reclaim his position in the firm, he becomes resolute.

Armaan and Abhira share a moment:

Noticing the burn on his hand, Armaan tells Abhira that Rohit has forgiven him. In response, Abhira announces her decision to accept the job offer, and Armaan wholeheartedly supports her, encouraging her that her career will flourish. They share a warm embrace, but Armaan's spirits quickly dampen as he recalls Vidya's past words about accepting him as her son. When Abhira notices his sudden change in mood, he brushes her off, reminding her that she needs to get ready for her first day at the office tomorrow. This leaves Abhira feeling disheartened.

However, as Abhira prepares to leave, she hesitates and then stops. Sensing her distress, Armaan reaches out to her, and they share a dance together. They enjoy each other's company, reminiscing about their past moments together. Later, Abhira encourages Armaan to buy gifts for Vidya, assuring him that their distance will soon be a thing of the past. Armaan then asks her to focus on her career, emphasising that she has her first day at the Poddar firm tomorrow.

Three months later:

The scene shifts to three months later, where Abhira imagines Vidya feeding both her and Armaan in the office, enjoying their time together. She snaps back to reality to see Vidya feeding Rohit instead. When Abhira suggests that Armaan share the food, he dismisses her, insisting he has work to do. Abhira expresses her feelings, noting that it's been three months since their wedding, and despite spending so much time together, they haven't shared a meal once. She reminisces about how he used to feed her before their marriage, but he brushes her off, saying they can talk later, and walks away, leaving her feeling rejected.

Seeing her upset, Manoj steps in to lift her spirits and says he's hungry, inviting her to share a meal with him as he offers her a distraction. Manoj attempts to comfort Abhira and speaks to Manisha about the situation. Manisha decides to confront Vidya, who brings clothes for Ruhi but refuses to discuss Abhira when Manish inquires.

Manisha questions Vidya on how long she intends to hold a grudge against Armaan and Abhira. Meanwhile, Abhira seeks Armaan's attention, but he continues to ignore her, leading to an argument between them. Vidya expresses her belief that Abhira and Armaan's relationship is unlikely to endure. Manisha defends their bond, blaming Vidya for the issues that have arisen. Vidya counters that Armaan and Abhira have created their own problems by dismissing her advice.

Precap for the next episode:

Armaan halts Abhira's preparations for Vidya's birthday celebration, but Abhira insists on going ahead with the festivities. Manisha advises the catering team to exclude walnuts, but Abhira inadvertently adds them to Vidya's birthday cake.
