Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Charu instructs Abhira to distance herself from Armaan and calls her an outsider

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Abhira (Samridhii Shukla) receives an unexpected call from Saurabh, who instructs her to organise a grand celebration for Armaan's (Rohit Purohit) pre-wedding party. This request leaves Abhira astonished, but she agrees. Shortly after, she bumps into Armaan, leading her to fall into his arms. She reminds herself he is soon getting married to Ruhi (Garvita Sadhwani), and he recalls Ruhi suggesting that Abhira is not his responsibility anymore. Kaveri approaches Abhira, questioning her punctuality. Abhira responds that she has no one holding her back as she leaves alone and then decides to handle the decoration. 

Kaveri interrupts, assigning her the task of selecting outfits for both Arman and Ruhi, insisting that she chooses the finest ones. Meanwhile, Vidya instructs Charu to keep an eye on Ruhi and Armaan as well. Madhav questions Vidya about Charu's capability to manage Ruhi, Armaan, and Abhira simultaneously. Vidya expresses doubt, asserting that nothing can go smoothly with Abhira involved. Kaveri sides with Vidya, but Madhav disagrees, warning that they are mistreating Abhira and will regret their actions.

Chariu instructs Abhira to distance herself from Armaan:

Armaan, being a gentleman, opens the car door for Ruhi, who then tells Abhira to sit in the back. Choosing to ride her tricycle instead, Abhira declines. Vidya queries Madhav about his whereabouts, and he mentions having urgent work. Vidya retorts, saying nothing is more important than Armaan's wedding, but Madhav insists that the family is wronging Abhira and will come to regret Armaan's marriage to Ruhi. Vidya feels insulted by his words. 

As Ruhi picks out her wedding attire, Abhira assists her, feeling disheartened when Ruhi opts for a dress in Armaan's favourite colour. Ruhi seeks Armaan's approval for the dress, which he gives, much to Abhira's dismay. When Armaan looks for his own outfit, Abhira offers to help but is rebuffed by Armaan, who tells her to stay away and stop bothering him. Charu reinforces this, instructing Abhira to distance herself from Armaan. Abhira advises Charu not to abandon her dreams, but Charu dismisses her concern, calling her an outsider.

Manish hides his financial troubles:

Swarna and Surekha ask Manish to transfer funds for wedding shopping, but Manish, hiding his financial troubles, voices his disapproval of Ruhi and Armaan's marriage. As Armaan reflects on Abhira, she decides to document testimonials from Armaan and Ruhi for their wedding video. During the interview, they both speak highly of each other, with Armaan subtly implying that Ruhi is a better match than Abhira. Kaveri then asks Abhira to assist Ruhi with her wedding dress, and Abhira reluctantly complies.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Ruhi questions Armaan about the presence of women at his bachelor party, which he denies. Sanjay asks Shruti to ensure Abhira attends the bachelor party, where she ends up being humiliated. Armaan steps in to rescue her.
