Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Kaveri encourages Abhira's decision to host a function with a bank loan

In tonight's episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Kaveri contemplates the gifts for the guests, revealing her desire to give silver jewelry sets to the women and chains to the men. She further inquires about the decorations from Vidya and finalises one. Meanwhile, Manisha is stunned by the preparations and remarks that the guests will fondly remember Abhira and Armaan's wedding. Kaveri insists that no one should mention Abhira's background. Armaan stands up for Abhira, but Kaveri defends that they know little about Abhira's family. Kaveri then asks Manoj and Madhav to finalise the catering arrangements.

Kaveri gets emotional:

Abhira enters the Poddar mansion with the wedding card. Kaveri asks her if she wrote her parent's name on the sample card. Ruhi is stunned to see the card as Abhira's name is vanished because of her sweaty hands. Later, Ruhi gives Abhira a book, prompting Abhira to write down Akshara's and Abhinav's names. Aryan playfully teases Armaan after he calls out to Abhira. Abhira urges Kaveri to opt for a simple wedding rather than a lavish one, insisting that she wants to celebrate her special day surrounded by family. Kaveri becomes emotional, leading Abhira to embrace her and ask why she's upset. Vidya accuses Abhira of causing Kaveri distress.

Abhira inquires further about Kaveri's sadness, and Kaveri reveals her dream of planning Armaan's wedding in a grand manner. She defends her intentions, arguing that if everyone thought like Abhira, wedding planners would lose their livelihood. Kaveri assures Abhira that she's willing to abandon her grand plans if Abhira truly desires a simpler ceremony. Vidya urges Abhira to consider their emotions regarding Armaan's wedding. 

Sanjay criticizes Abhira for being self-centered and expresses concern about inviting the relatives whose functions they have previously attended. Rohit sides with Kaveri. Vidya advises Abhira not to worry about the expenses. Kajal reassures Abhira that she's part of the family and shouldn't stress over the costs.

Kaveri supports Abhira:

Abhira then proposes organising one of the wedding functions herself as her contribution. Kaveri questions whether Abhira has the financial means to plan a wedding event, leaving Abhira confused. Sanjay asserts that Abhira can't afford such expenses and asks her directly if she has the funds for her wedding. Kaveri asks Abhira if she has any plans, leading Abhira to come up with a strategy to organise her wedding and decide to take out a personal loan. Vidya disapproves of Abhira's choice, questioning whether she wants to start a beautiful journey with a burden.

However, Kaveri shows her support for Abhira’s decision. She hands over the keys to Abhira, urging her to hurry to the bank since it’s only open for a half day. Abhira and Kaveri share a lighthearted moment, with Abhira expressing her gratitude. Meanwhile, Ruhi, Vidya, and Sanjay are unhappy with Abhira's choice to take out a loan. Armaan becomes worried about Abhira and offers to accompany her to the bank, but Kaveri insists that Abhira manage it on her own, encouraging her independence. Feeling uplifted by Kaveri’s support, Abhira leaves the house joyfully, determined to plan her wedding function in honor of Akshara and Abhinav.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Abhira sings a song associated with Akshara, leaving Ruhi puzzled. Manish questions Abhira about the song, leading to Abhira's startling response.
